Today has been a good day. Despite having to show up in astronomy and face my stupid teacher who refused to excuse me from an in class quiz (she's really heartless--I don't want to talk about it,) my netbook arrived. It's so beautiful!!!! I'm not using it yet though because I still gotta install some things but here's what it looks like:


I'm gushing about it so much because it's my first computer/laptop/thingy that I've ever bought. I'm so used to getting hand me downs. The laptop I'm typing on has survived a couple of years with me and before that Johny so yeah its super old.

And here's another reason why today is a good day:



Yesssss. He's one of the Entertainers of the Decade. Well deserved if I do say so myself. But anyways, the "decade" part made me laugh though because I remember this interview Johnny and Tim Burton did for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The interviewer from America was trying to come off intelligent by commenting that the duo has been working together for 20 years. But she said "So you've been working together for almost 10 decades now"

For those who aren't math savvy...
A decade = 10 years
10 Decades = 100 years.

Yes Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have been working together for 100 years. :)

Well I'm off to study for finals. Got Humanities on Monday, Psychology on Tuesday, Astronomy Wednesday and Film Thursday.

I can't believe Fall semester is over. Let's hope I turned out okay!

"Thanksgiving comes to us out of the prehistoric dimness, universal to all ages and all faiths. At whatever straws we must grasp, there is always a time for gratitude and new beginnings." -J. Robert Moskin

"For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." -John Fitzgerald Kennedy

These make me laugh:
"Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants." -Kevin James

"Happy We-Stole-Your-Land-and-Killed-Your-People Day!" -from the movie Sweet November

I made a new layout! Yay. I haven't made one in a while so I forgot all of the html things. *sigh* I'm laaaammme.

So Thanksgiving is tomorrow...I'm not that excited because for one, I don't eat turkey and two my parents are going to a party and I'm gonna be at home doing homework. Yes that's right. Homework. During Thanksgiving break. College is no fun.

Two weeks before finals and I feel like I haven't learned anything this semester. I gotta study for all of my classes (even for my "easy" film class ugh). And I gotta worry about selling my book back. I hate trying to sell my book back because in the beginning I'd pay around ninety dollars for a book and they'll give me back like fifteen dollars for it. Stupid buyback publishing crap.

Since my last entry I went to go see 2012, The Men Who Stare at Goats, watched Love Actually on Lifetime and watched Date Movie (because I felt like lowering my IQ).

Since my last entry Johnny Depp beat out Robert Pattinson for People's 2009 Sexiest Man Alive. Now he's in the "elite" club with George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Yes I'm very proud of my man lol. It makes me happy going to the grocery store or going to any random store and see his face on the magazine stand even though he's been missing in action this year and that stupid Robert Pattinson guy's been promoting New Moon up people's asses.



Yes. Victory is sweet lol

Okay I'm gonna stop being lame and go to sleep now. Good night.

So my ballet dress came on Monday. I might have a new addiction: internet shopping!!!!! I squeal when I get free shipping or a promotion code. There is something wrong with me I swear. But anyways, the dress is really beautiful and it fits like a glove. I want to wear it when I go see Phantom of the Opera but I'm running out of money :( It sucks because Phantom of the Opera is coming around January. Maybe I'll beg my parents to buy tickets for me as a birthday present :)

Took my psychology exam today. I got a 95. I was freaking out for nothing. I'm really happy with my grade (who wouldn't?!). Finally all of my studying paid off! Gonna have to study for my final if I want to get a good grade in class. I got a B on the first exam, C on the second, A on the third. :/ Not so sure extra credit is going to save my grade. We'll see.

I walked out of the Visual Arts building after my exam. One, it was super dark. (I really need to start taking self defense class). Two, there was a bomb threat at school. Yeah they went all out: Cops on walkie talkies, yellow tape, flashing lights. According to the news they said they closed down Classroom Building I, Parking Garage H and A. But that's not entirely true, my car was parked in garage A and I just went on home. lol Oh well.

As of right now, I am sitting in my room listening to Billy Joel's Piano Man. That song makes me smile and cry at the same time.

But yeah I'm happy. Happy that I don't have school tomorrow, happy that I passed my exam, and happy because I'm going to see a movie with Drew!

YAY!

Film class today (film noir!). Men Who Stare at Goats Friday. Going to go see it with Drew Saturday. Muslim speaker Monday. Psychology exam Tuesday. Spring Class enrollment Tuesday. My "ballet" dress arrives Tuesday. Humanities essay due Wednesday. No I'm wrong Veteran's Day no school Wednesday. So I guess I won't be falling apart on Thursday then.

I've been busy sort of so I haven't updated since...*looks at past entry* October 11th. What have I done since then?

I went to go see Astro Boy (cute movie) with Drew.
Did so well on my humanities exam that I probably won't have to study for the next one.
Lost two pounds because I'm always running to class (oversleeping sucks and so is finding parking).
Went to a comic book convention. Decided not to work at the bookstore because they're not hiring part time.
Bought winter boots and regretted it because it's November and it's 80 degrees.
Found new music to listen to.
Wrote down ideas for a book (all of them are ridiculous).
Almost got sick but didn't (vitamin c is good for you).
Found a new place to buy sushi!
Made plans for the summer (Canada or possibly California or both lol) even though it's only Fall.

Ugh gotta get ready to go to astronomy class. I'm so glad I'm getting my science classes out of the way.

Byeeeee! (I still love college surprisingly)

Hmmm let's see. Yesterday I went to the Winter Park Art Festival with Drew. It was awesome, I've never been to the Art Festival before so everything was interesting to me. Most of the tents were pretty good. I liked the photography. Who knew Florida could look so beautiful? I also liked the guy that was selling Arepas. I could hear him from like a mile away going "AREEEEPAS!". The only thing I didn't like was THE STUPID WEATHER. SOOOO HOTTTT!

We also went to the Morse Museum. Stain glass was alright, but not my favorite media. I also went shopping (much to Drew's dismay). I couldn't help it. Lucky Brand had a 75% off sale! I love bargains.

So I have a Humanities exam on Monday. A Psychology exam on Tuesday. An in class Astronomy quiz on Wednesday. I'm not a happy asian right now. =/ I'm more concerned about my psychology exam than the rest. Most of the stuff that's on the study guide isn't even in the book so I don't know what to do! Humanities should be simple; I pretty much remember everything about humanities and if I somehow fail I can just do a shitload of extra credit. Astronomy isn't that bad, I can just get help from someone. But psychology is going to kick my butt!

Okay maybe it's a good idea if I go and study for it instead of letting it kick my butt. Yeahhh I'm going to go study now.

Wait! I gotta get food first. :))))

I'm sick. My head feels heavy. I can feel my eye socket. I'm not even sure if that makes any sense. But ugh I hate being sick. This is the worst time too because I've got two exams next week and I had to skip the class reviews because I can't even get up.

This suuuuuccckks. I hate my immune system. The only good thing that comes out of being sick is I get to lay around and watch movies.

My tv has been broken for about a couple of weeks now. It's strange how much energy and time I seem to have when I'm not sitting in front of my tv watching marathon after marathon.

I read Alice in Wonderland on Saturday. I love it. Lewis Carroll is amazing. Still have to read Through the Looking Glass. I can't wait until Tim Burton's version of AIW comes out.

I went into HHGregg today to look at netbooks. I wish the salesman would stop following me around everywhere. It was so annoying. I'm probably never going to go back into that store because of that. "Is there anything you're looking for in particular?" "Just let me know when you need assistance" "Hi! Are you looking for netbooks?" "Hi how are you?"

Got a 100% on my Psychology quiz. I'm so happy! I'm kinda dreading my exam though. The biology section of psychology ruins me. Who cares about dendrites and axons and refractory periods? LAME. I like the section on schizophrenia and bipolar and depression. NOW THAT'S INTERESTING.

9 is coming out on Wednesday. Going to go see it with Drew. I wish I had enough money to buy The Beatles rockband. But if I bought it, I don't think I'll be in class for like a week.

Did you know magazine sales are dropping and premium denim (jean) sales are increasing? Well now you know.

I'm not used to this. I'm not used to receiving a paycheck or assisting random people at work. I'm not used to sitting in an auditorium and the teacher caring less about who I am or why I'm here. I'm not used to my peers handing me free planners or free spirals or coupons for tanning every other day. I'm not used to going to an hour or so of class and spending 4 hours reading my textbook and doing homework.

Everything is overwhelming. Everything is really different.

And I like it. I like it very much.

I love all of my classes except for my astronomy class. It's kicking my butt. I realized that I really like humanities and especially my film class. I really want to do something with movies. I wanna do everything.

I have big dreams. =)

Geez...I haven't updated in a while. Okay here goes. Tomorrow will be my fourth week at summer school. Two more weeks and I'll be done. Whoo hoo! English Composition is surprisingly very easy for me. Maybe I should be an English teacher. It's not a bad profession. I'd get summer off and holiday break. What's there not to like? Oh I forgot...the students. They'll drive me crazy lol. Anyways, English Composition is really easy. I got a 100% on my first paper which was awesome cause I really thought I was going to fail. I just don't like my class so much, nobody talks to each other except to exchange grades. Ugh the looks my classmates gave me when they discovered I was the only one to get an A+ on the paper. *runs away*

In other news, I GOT A JOB FINALLY! So happy. I got a job on the UCF campus so it's pretty convenient. I'll go to class and go to my job at the bookstore. I start training on the 31st which reminds me I need to go buy some work clothes. I really can't wait to start working. I need money really badly (don't we all?!). The interview was really scary because I ran all over campus to find the Business Administration building and there were so many people that applied. I'm still reeling from that interview. I mean, they really wanted me? Instead of all the other people who had more work experience?! You wanted me?! :)

Other random things:
- Johnny Depp's picture as the Mad Hatter. Creepy as hell. Is it strange I still think he's hot with the crazy orange hair and the makeup?
- I need to start working out. I think I gained like 10 pounds over the summer :(
- Is it wrong to fall in love with a fictional character? For the past week all of my dreams consisted of the Joker kidnapping me and doing horrible things to me. I'm kinda terrified I'll fall in love with a sociopath and he'll completely tear my life apart and all I will do is just sit there and smile.
- I need a life. Really I do.
- Coraline is coming out on DVD!
- I'm craving ice cream sandwiches.

Last week was my first week in College. I love it! College is fun...sorta. I like the freedom of showing up to one class and then leaving afterwards. I don't miss high school at all except for my friends of course. The people in my English Comp. class are nice, but it's not the same. English Comp. isn't as bad as I thought it was. I thought we'd be writing stories and reading literature but we're not. Seriously, I thought college was supposed to be hard! It's pretty easy so far. I just have to read some articles (which is pointless because she goes over it in class) and my first essay is due Wednesday.

Friday me and Unmona went to Oviedo Mall to see Public Enemies and also go shopping because I needed to get something for Lissette. Public Enemies review in the cut!

( We're having too good a time today. We ain't thinking about tomorrow )

Yesterday I went to Lissette's birthday party and watched fireworks on my rooftop. It was kinda dangerous but it was worth it. The fireworks didn't stop until four in the morning! Woot.

Today I'm supposed to get started on my essay but I'm feeling really REAAAALLY lazy. I think I might go watch some Disney movies instead. I watched Alice in Wonderland last night, I have no idea what to watch next. Maybe Peter Pan? or Toy Story? lol This is random but OMG TOY STORY 3. What the eff could that be about?! Andy is like in College! I hope he's not going to sell Woody and Buzz :(

Went to Waterford yesterday with Lina and Kathy. I don't think I've had that much fun in a long time. Let's see, we went to Pet Shop and I contemplated about kidnapping one of the little bunnies because they were sooooo cute! Went to Barnes and Noble bought some books, a planner for school (I know I'm a nerd), the Vanity Fair Issue (with Johnny Depp on the cover!) and some other things I don't remember. Uh went to Target and tried on big buggy sunglasses. There was a pair of purple aviators that I wanted but I didn't have enough money and I have too many sunglasses anyways. My mom would yell at me if I bought another.

Today I opened a banking account. Encountered a Jack Nicholson look-a-like while I was waiting for someone to help me. He was...interesting. He kept quoting things from the Bible and talking about how he used to be a womanizer. He was like "Here's some advice kid, don't ever get married" The guy was hilarious. Creepy but funny. Like I said Jack Nicholson! :)

So I'm kinda bummed I have to wait a little longer for my Jacksonville trip. I'm going to the Museum of Contemporary Art next Saturday and not this week like I planned. That would mean I go to Orientation next week, go to Jacksonville, rest up on Sunday and then...go to school!

There's so many things I have to do. Not enough time. Damn it.

Current Addictions:

1. The Beatles.
2. Banana Chips. They taste good but I think they're making my face break out. Gross.
3. Joker Fanfiction. It amuses me when writers try to make the Joker fall in love with a woman and goes way out of character to protect her from the mob and junk. That would never happen. The Joker cannot love! Even if he was capable of loving he'd only love the Batman. DUHHHHH
4. Random youtube videos. Like the one with George Whitman setting his hair on fire. Hahaha.
5. Elliott Smith's Figure 8 album. I've been playing it for days now. I'm surprised I haven't been dreaming about it.
6. Stock photography. I have random pictures of cupcakes, forests and models. Weird combination eh?

Saturday I went out to eat at Bento Cafe with Justin and some friends. I don't really want to elabore more on it because it was really normal.

Sunday I had my piano recital. Was pretty bummed that there weren't as many people playing like last year. Oh well. The show must go on.

Today I went to UCF to correct my Immunization Form. Ugh. Walked around the whole fucking campus. I was sweating like crazy. (Note to self: Let's not wear black on Orientation Day okay Jessica?) I think I must've looked like a freshman or something cause there were a few guys that kept looking at me and asking me if I needed help. Hahahaha oh God...can't wait for school! ugh.

Good Night. I'm going to sleep.

Can't sleep so I messed around with Paint Shop Pro and made icons. This is my first time making icons so don't expect anything fancy! Hahaha. I need to read a tutorial next time.

3 Johnny Depp
3 The Joker (both Nolan's and DC Comics version)
1 Bob Dylan
1 Stock

As you may know, or maybe not, it's my favorite man's birthday today. So Happy Birthday Mr. Depp! I'm sure he'll never read this so I guess there's no harm in listing all of the naughty things I would do to him...just kidding! Gosh, I can't believe he's 46. He's still ridiculously hot to me! I read his article in Vanity Fair but I'm still going to buy it. It was really interesting/funny/awesome/orgasmic...and you guys probably don't care :)

I've done nothing of importance today. Ran a mile, bought groceries from Publix, checked mail, sent mail, changed my livejournal layout (I like how simple it looks now), changed my icons, and cleaned my room. Dang it's only two.

I think this week I'm probably going to this Andy Warhol exhibit at Rollins. And hopefully I can convince my mom to let me go to Jacksonville to this museum where they have Jackson Pollock paintings. Eeek! I'm so excited.

God I'm bored. I think I'm going to go read Pride and Prejudice. I haven't gotten far on the book yet but I will. The reason why I'm not even halfway done is because I have to reread chapters again in order to get it. The dialogue is different and I stop myself to read the footnotes and other things. I think I prefer the movie's version of Elizabeth Bennett (the one with Keira Knightley) than the one in the novel and BBC series. I don't really know why, but I just do :)
