DONE =)

I am DONE, FINISHED with my second semester of grad school!
It's really gone by fast (thank goodness!). I didn't like this semester too much, well more like I didn't like the second half. Anyway, we'll see how I did and if I get kicked out of PTE (before I even get inducted) or not!
For now, it's OVER, and I'm going to enjoy my very short break. I'll be in Houston this coming week so come play with me!

Oi!

Oh geez, it's been a month since I have posted anything! Miss me anyone? hehe...
Well I don't have time to say much except...I really do not like living in my dorm room anymore. I think the only reason is because of the temperature setting. It is ABSOLUTELY FREEZING in here! When it's cold outside, my room is probably even colder than that. It is ridiculous that I have to sleep in a long sleeves t-shirt plus sweatshirt and socks. Sometimes I even have to put on my hoodie or wear a beanie! Yes that is how cold it is in here. So now I have a sore throat! Two weeks before finals and during the time when all of our papers and presentations are due. Awesome =(

A lot has happened in the past month tho. I'm just too lazy to post it up. Also I don't procrastinate as much, I take that back, I start earlier and do the heavy duty part later, I don't know when else I could blog to take up time!

For now, this is how I feel...ill...throat is sore...
too much water + juice = too many pee pee trips!
I hope I can somewhat sleep through the night =)

Spring break

Spring break is going by way too fast for my liking! I've been here in Austin catching up with friends and just relaxing. Although I have just been running around town here and there, so I guess that is my kind of relaxation time! I'll be going back to Houston Friday or Saturday morning. Not sure yet. But I am really excited about March Madness! I finished my bracket earlier tonight...TEXAS all the way! Haha...

That's all for now. Oh yah, got to see Gary's new house yesterday. I really, really like it!

ok, good night. Tomorrow it's Bubbies time =)

Taco bell at midnight

I just scarfed down a 1/2 lb beef & potato burrito less than 5 minutes ago. Brad had this brilliant idea of going to taco bell at 11:30 at night. I just wanted to go into the kitchen to make a sunny side up egg and a piece of toast. I guess I should stop eating cereal for dinner because I get starved come 11:00pm. Either that or Leah and I should just stop talking about food so late at night. There goes my going to bed early tonight. I'll just continue studying for this developmental midterm Thursday. Which has sooo much information on it. What I did over a span of undergrad years, I'm learning in half a semester. Awesome that I can't recall info from then. Good night!

Occupational Challenges Class

So as I am studying for my test tomorrow over disorders and disabilities, knowing what I know, I'm going to be more worried when I'm pregnant if my child is a boy rather than a girl. and yes, I know, God will give me the greatest child, and I will love this child. But I'm human and an OT to be, I can't help but think about these things. Boys have such a higher risk of getting diagnosed with something than girls. There are more disorders that are just in boys. I can only pray that I get blessed with a healthy child.

Denise's Day

A Very Happy Birthday to Denise who turns 24 today!

She's a cool gal in my OT class! She also taught me how to play Dominos last night. Tonight some of us will be going to dinner at Cheddars, then heading out to Big Texas for some dancing! It'll be a nice break from the island and studying for our 2 exams and paper next week.

Fun Weekend!

Friday night my mom took my dad, sister, and me out for our birthdays since they all fall so close to each other. We ate at Tay Do...yum for not being homemade!

Saturday I did a lil hw, lounged around some, then Tammi and I celebrated our birthday with friends at Pappadeaux. The lobster bisque was good, but the catfish poboy was only ok. It was fun tho! and Sungjin's present was a knitted scarf! He knitted it himself...yay!!! I got a picture frame and microSD card for my DS lite from Jason and....Thanks to my awesome friends below...

Annette, Liem, Jenny, Jason Wu, Andrew, Vanhdy, Sam,
Ti (An), Kelvin, Cathy, Helen, Jason Chao, Sungjin, Daniel Lee,
Daniel Nguyen, Sunny, Gary, Duffy, & Charles

I got this new fantastic toy! Now I can give my parent's camera back to them! I so excited to use it. But I have to wait til the SD card comes in bc the one that comes in the box only lets me take 4 pics! Which I used to take these 2 pictures. Thanks Anet for putting it together =)

What a weekend! I am pooped =D

Twenty-six

I am officially at the end of my mid-twenties today! ack =)
so who wants to celebrate it with me?

Link given to me on my birthday! Not sure what it means, but thanks a lot Daniel!

and a belated post to my dear, Jason who also turned 26. This is us at his last Lambda formal in 2004. Man we look so young! haha =)

He's now on another island in Med school!

HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!

*wink wink*
will you be mine?

Another Birthday!

Happy 26th Birthday Bradley!

Yes that is his arm =p






I tried to cake him with peanut butter after
he took a shower! but I only got the back of his neck and hair and some on the shirt. Good enough for him to have to wash up again!
This is after his attempt to wash his head off
in the shower. You still have pb on your shirt!

Where's the SLK?

Happy 30th Birthday Andrew!

This picture was taken right before his 29th birthday. Haha...Andrew looks a tad more mature now, but still acts as though he is 20. Boys just don't grow up!

Happy birthday my friend! Let's party hard this weekend since it will all be down hill from here =P By the way, are we going for a car hunt this weekend unless you have some news that you haven't told us!

You know we all love you! I hope this is one of your most exciting and memorable year, filled with lots of wonderful surprises! Thanks for being such a fantastic friend =D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lil' One!

Man you're getting old!
Someone have a good pic I can post up for her?
Please send it my way!

Lauren's 23rd!

Happy Birthday Lauren!

She went to Houston this weekend, so we celebrated her birthday on Thursday night during and after our usual night of watching Grey's Anatomy. We ate pizza, strawberry pie, and Better than Sex cake! So yummy! After Grey's we just hung around, chatted, and laughed sooo much. My stomach and face were hurting. It's been awhile since I've laughed like that. After this week of school, tonight was much needed. School was just incredibly overwhelming this week.

I want snow!

How come in my years of living in Austin it didn't snow enough for us to have a snowball fight, but when I'm gone it snows! One time sophomore year, it flurried outside enough to slide down Jester beach. The other time, when it did stick, it was only good for someone to throw a HUGE block of ice at my stomach! That hurt too. Oh and Jenny and Jason came over that time, and I believe Jason threw ice into my face! Everywhere I go often, for instance Dallas, snows when I'm not around. I think I'm not meant for snow =(

Today's weather

Stinks to be us who walk to school tomorrow. My limbs are gonna fall off =O

Welcome back to school!

YAY! School is in session again, so that's more nonsense you get to read from me!

So school has been in session for 2 days. At least for me it has been. I think our class was the last to start here! It's been going ok. Not really feeling it just yet. I feel like I'm just along for the ride and a zombie in class. My sleeping schedule is slowly, real slowly adjusting. I can now fall asleep at 1:30 AM. I don't know why I can't fall asleep earlier seeing how my classes are at 8 or 9 in the morning now. Tomorrow is a killer. As you can see my schedule, I am in the Friday lab and not the Thursday lab. I will never have a 4 day weekend. It's only like 5 times out of the semester that the other half of class gets a 4 day. It's not bad, I just wanted the 4 day on the weekend after my birthday but the other half of my class can celebrate for me that week. Oh, and I have a test on my birthday. So Thursdays I will have class at 8 AM, have a break, class at 1 PM, have a break, and then class at 5 PM. Now it's the breaks that really make it stink!

I saw Ted Lin today! He's Anet's BIG in DSP. I haven't seen him since he graduated. Well, I ran into him once at The Spot in Galveston when I was applying for school. He got to catch up a little bit when he took me home from class. It was nice seeing an old face again. Thanks Ted!

And I really want to post what I did at the end of my break. It was very different for me and probably really unexpected too. When I get the pics, I'll post it. It will look better!

In 8 hours starts the Spring semester...oh boy!
Good night.

I like cheap tuition!

I finally registered for my spring classes about 2 minutes ago. It is a wonder how UTMB survives with how cheap tuition is. Tuition is less than half of what it was at UT at 11 hours! I'm not complaining at all...it's just quite AMAZING!!! Then this semester, I ordered my books online mainly because Barnes & Noble had free shipping and $10 off AND Jason and my parents joined so I got the member price too. Haha =) Made the 9 books for 5 classes much better. Too bad I still have articles to print. Let the printing party begin!

Yay OT =)

Looks like I am headed in the right direction for a career even though its the list for 2007. It's not like when I'm done in 2009 it won't still be a good job. I think it will be even better because I have joined!
Just kidding!
