Today, I was working on editing the videotape in this afternoon. I went to C4 (community counseling center in chicago) with my group members. We have to give a presentation about crisis intervention in next next week. I had no idea what it's like working at C4. We interviewed two girls working there. Well, seriously, working at C4 isn't easy, but it seems to be cool working there.

Okay, Michelle and Mike are forcing me to finish this blog!

yes.I am. stop Ken. stop. (Michelle taking)

Last night, at Michelle's party, I was pretty drunk. Well, as usual. I just noticed that I am always the one to get drunk and do stupid stuff. Hmmm. Although I am well educated intellectual person, my brain cells keep dying from massive alcohol cosumption. Of course, I was too drunk to drive back home, so Jeff drove me my car to Priyada&Josh's place. I really like their place cos it's cozy!

I really wanted to go to Matt&Melissa's house to see super bowl and sex and the city, but I was kinda having hangover all day. But, I did watch super bowl at my very own room. Ugh. The game was pretty good, I really enjoyed watching it. But, super bowl ads were pretty lame. Maybe they paid too much money on air time, and didn't have enough money to make good ads. Half time show was somewhat controversial. I was happy to see JT, but wasn't too excited to see Janet Jackson's boob!

I must study.

Geeez, I am so tired! I had to work 9am til 4pm, then went to class from 4:15pm. Seriously, the applications kept coming, and I was kinda sick of opening them!! Oh well.

I think my multicultural counseling class is alright, but kinda intense too. Anyway, I am tired like a mug.

After I got back from the gym in this morning, I made French toast for the first time. I actually don’t like French toast because I think soaking bread into milk and egg mixture is kinda gross. But, for some reasons, I needed to make it, and I had to make banana stuffed French toast. Mmmm, sounds yummy! Well, it did turn out pretty good. But, I did burn one side though.

I kinda finished editing the interview video for the community counseling class. It took more than I thought. Editing video isn’t easy, but it sure was fun! I wish I could just work on that, but of course, I cannot. I had a trouble with audio because my DV cam picks up weird noise a lot. I tried to filter noise with using various software such as Audition, goldwave etc, but didn’t really work well. I could take some noise off, but the voice became really muffled. Mmmm.

I don’t know why, but this week is really tiring for me. Maybe I have so many things I need to do, or maybe I haven’t played video game for a while, or maybe I haven’t had any drinks since last Sat, or maybe I just need to geek out.

I will do nothing in this weekend except studying.

Seriously, right now, I am addicted to French toast. I cannot stop eating them. After I went to the gym, I stopped by the bakery near by my apartment and got brioche which was pretty eggy bread. It was my first time to go to this bakery, and I really really felt that I was wasting all my time to not go there because the bread was so awesome! Fuck the low carb Atkins nonsense! They soaked up all milk and egg mixture super well. Of course, my French toast is always banana stuffed ones. I was hoping banana was more ripped, but oh well, maple syrup did the job. I will make more tomorrow!!!

I am having very low key weekend because I need one. I need to finish working on the resume and cover letter for my practicum. I still don’t know where to apply. Well, I kinda know, but I wanna do some family therapy stuff instead of career counseling. Hmmm, I don’t know. I think I am gonna apply both types of sites, so I will have choices.

Do you like pokemon? Sure you do! I am thinking to buy GameCube because Pokemon Coliseum is coming out! I wanna be a hero~ POKEMON!! Yaaaaaay! Also, I wanna play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicle too. Oh, and I wanna play Zelda. Yeah, I know, it’s old game, but I haven’t played gamecube one yet! Ooooh, it looks like game time!!

By the way, Jeff emailed me this picture. Yeah, look like I am drunk in this picture. Well, indeed, I was drunk! Do you have a problem with that!!!

Last night, I went to Café El Tapatio on Ashland with Laura. She was working out at YMCA which is only a block from the restaurant. So, we planned to meet up at the restaurant, but when I got there, the restaurant was packed! There would be 30 mins wait for the table, and there was no bar in the restaurant. I didn’t wanna wait for Laura and table outside, so I went to the bar cross the street. Laura and I had couple drinks at bar and also we had pitcher of margarita at the restaurant. As a result, Laura was drunk….seriously. I wasn’t really planning to go out, but I ended up going out! Kevin, Kelly, and some guy joined us, and we went to the bar called Matilda. We also met up with Sarah there. The funny thing was Laura was hit by some dudes the moment we got to the bar. She is so born to be a counselor. Anyway, I really didn’t wanna get drunk, so I just had one beer! I guess I do have self-control after all! Although Kevin, Kelly, and their friend left early, Laura, Sarah, and I stayed there until last call. Laura was, of course, hit by another guy and somehow, he joined us even though his friends left the bar. I was hoping to see Laura making out that guy because I think Laura should push her limit to the next level, but she wasn’t interested in him, so she didn’t make out with him. Daaaamnit!

In this morning, I went to the church for the first time. Seriously, I had never been to the church in my entire life. I needed to attend the service in order to do the assignment for the multicultural class. The service was pretty cool, old fashion. During the service, I tried so hard to no laugh because all lyrics for the songs were ridiculously godlish. I mean well, I know people love god and everything, but do you really have to keep saying (or singing) about god in the entire an hour? But, I kinda understand why some people find a peace at the church. I think it’s same as if I go to Shinto shrine, I do find some sort of peace there. And also, I think unlimited supply of acceptance makes people hooked into the church stuff. You know, everyone wants to be accepted. I think I might go back to that church because the pastor was super hot. I was convincing Laura to ask him out because he doesn’t seem to have a wife. Yeah, I know I am made from full of sins!

Oh by the way, I don't think I was that drunk at Michelle's party because I didn't disappear nor abandon anyone.

It’s Monday again. I almost feel like every day I wake up and it’s Monday, not Sunday! You know, my inside is outside and my right side’s on the left side kinda thing. Good thing was I had a good workout in this morning. But, bad thing is I couldn’t finish eating my frech toast.

I had a group presentation for the community counseling class. I made video clips to show off how technologically advance my group is. Before the class, I was supposed to meet up with Kim and Jeneane. So, I was waiting at the library for about a half hour. But, they didn’t come. I started pissing off, but Courtney told me that they were waiting at the down stair!! Ooops I did again! Same thing happened in the last semester when Jeff and I needed to meet up for doing the assignment. I was waiting at 4th floor and Jeff was waiting at 10th floor for over a half hour. Seriously, I am not getting hearing English correctly or what! Oh well, I am a Japanese. I don’t understand English! Anyway, the presentation went pretty well (I think). My classmates seemed to be impressed by my video. Hahaha. Hmmm, well, actually, it’s not really difficult to edit the videotape though. Thanks to Adobe Premiere! I think I might buy Adobe Video Collection Pro because I wanna upgrade my software, especially, Premiere and Photoshop. I don’t use AfterEffect that much, but it is kinda nice to upgrade it too. Oh oh, also I wanna get Audition too. I wonder how many people know what I am talking about….

Tuesday is my happy work day, so I woke up at 7am and went to work. When I got off from the bus, I lost the remote controller for my MD player! I was so pissed off because the controller will cost me $70 to replace. I think I am gonna give up on MD player and buy iPod or something because my MD player is kinda working funny.

Well, I kinda started disliking my job because my supervisors are kinda bitchy and they gossip a lot….mmmm, sounds like office space!! Seriously, they don’t seem to like their job at all. They are nice guys though. But, I do like my other student workers. One of student workers, Dave, is still 19 years old and needs fake ID to get into the bar, and he is on probation. He is so annoying, but he is very likeable person. I was telling him I am from Hiroshima, and he was asking me if I am still mad at Americans (yeah, I get that question a lot). I told him that I wasn’t born yet, so there is no reason to be mad. Then, he said “oh, so it (bombing) is new to you.” I could not find words to say…. I guess being 19 years old is very fearless.

I really hate my multicultural counseling class. We discussed about Whiteness in this evening. Well, I am so sick of discussing about racism because that is so obvious White people are privileged, and other races are not. In the discussion, Whites guys were saying “yeah, I feel guilty because we have more advantages comparing to other races.” Seriously, I really really really do not care about whole racism issues. I really think there is no way racism is gone away from our lives. So, I feel it’s just pointless talking about how Whites feels or how other minorities feel. I also hate talking about why we should respect others’ cultural background. I mean if we keep emphasizing cultural differences and how important to acknowledge and respect differences, I think we cannot move forward. Since people are living in America, not Africa nor, Mexico, nor UK, nor Japan, why don’t they try to create “American culture” together? American people really suck at integrating different cultures. It seems American is all about mixed cultures, but in fact, there are just lots of cultures which are not getting along at all. I really think American people are too depending on their race or religious values. I am not sure if I am making very clear what I wanna say here, but my point is racism sucks, but you gotta deal with it, so just suck it up! Of course, I couldn’t say that in the class because I don’t wanna get killed.

Oh, I gotta buy egg bread tomorrow, so I can make French toast!

Last night, I went out with Laura….as usual. I had to go out cos I really do not want to go out in this weekend….., you know, valentine weekend. We went to Bar Celona to have some drinks. Well, I thought I like this place, but maybe not because our waitress was just awful. The waitress we love was serving other tables, not ours. So, we got fucking lazy stupid bitch waitress. She was sooooo bad. I mean really. She was too busy flirting male customers to serve us. She barely checked us and when she came to our table, she just asked “so, you wanna go another round?” We had to ask another waitress (awesome one) to bring us chips and salsa because our waitress never came up to our table. So, since she provided awful service, I just put a dollar tip (total was $12). No surprise, she just gave check back to us. Bitch!! When we were leaving, I heard that she was bitch about us to the bouncer guy. I think I am not going to go back to this bar ever again.

Today was my sweet pay day. Yaaay! But, I don’t think I can use any of money because I wanna save up some money. In my dictionary, there is no word such as “saving,” but I think I am gonna try to save some money because I am thinking to move out from this apartment in this summer. My goal is to save up $1000. Well, wish me luck.

Happy Valentine’s day everyone! Well, unfortunately, I have never had a good Valentine’s day in my entire life. In Japan, Valentine’s day is for girls. Girls give candies to guys whom they have crush on. In other words, Valentine’s day is secret love confession day for girls. When I was living in Japan, I used to get decent amount of chocolates from girls (well, girls give candies to male friends anyway), but since I don’t do with girls, I was just like “Yaaaay, I love candies!” Then, after I came to the U.S., there is no one gives me chocolate!! Give me candies!! I will have someone gives me a candy in the next year…..for sure…maybe….probably not.

In this morning, I went to synagogue with Shanna. I asked her to take me to the synagogue, so I could observe the service for my multicultural counseling class (I need to write paper about the culture which is totally different from mine). I had no idea what Judaism because I am not really into any religions. It is really hard to learn about religion if you grew up in Japan because main two religions (Buddhism and Shinto) are so integrated into our lives. You don’t think about what religion you belong to because you don’t have to. You know, in Japan, the wedding is always Shinto style, but the funeral is always aaaaalwaaaays Buddhism style! I think that’s pretty fucked up, but I like it. Lately, I think a lot about religion. I might be a racist or homophobic, but I absolutely have no bias over religion. So, when Shanna told me that she does not want to get married someone who is not Jewish, I felt really sad. For her, being Jewish is same as being kind or smart or funny. It’s just part of personalities (almost…I think). But, for me, it’s just religion. Especially, Shanna is super open-minded and cool, I was kinda shocked when she told me that. I guess I have no chance getting married her! Oh oh, by the way, fortunately, I could observe bar mitzvah! I thought it was soooo cool! The boy was reading the passages in Hebrew! Seriously, I was impressed by that kid.

After I came back, I was gonna study, but I didn’t cos I didn’t feel well!! So, I ended up just watching lots of spongebob. Good time!

One more thing, I really do not care about gay marriage…. That’s cool people can choose what they want to do. I might want to get married someday, so it’s nice to know I can get married. I just don’t like people are so against it. You know, there is a husband killed his wife and unborn child, so what is sanctuary of marriage really? Well, I guess the concept of marriage is, indeed, the part of the religious belief, so I guess I understand why some people get so upset. I don’t know. I really don’t care because I am writing this on Valentine’s day…alone! I do not hear the wedding bell at all!!

Guess who is coming in town!! It’s Ken Ishii! Yaaahoooooo!! You may not know him, but I love him so much. He is Japanese DJ who makes the best music in the entire world. He is playing at Smart Bar this Thursday, and I must see him!! If you have no idea about what I am talking about, just get his latest album “Future in Light.”

I am still eating French toast every day. Yes, every day. My cholesterol level is higher than ever, but I don’t care. In this morning, I noticed that I had no bread, so I went to the bakery even though it was snowing. I could just eat yogurt or other foods in my refrigerator, but I had to have French toast because that’s the way it is. Unfortunately, they didn’t have brioche, but the girl working there recommended me to get chocolate bread. I wasn’t sure if I wanna make French toast with chocolate bread, but it turned out super ultra awesome.

In this afternoon, I went to Priyada’s house to hang out. Well, not really. I wanted her to check my cover letter and resume because she works at the career center at NU. It was still snowing, but I did drive up to Evanston because I must send resume out to the sites as soon as possible. I am glad that I am done with making resume. But, I still need to work on cover letters for several sites I am applying for the internship. I am already stressed out even before I start my practicum. Seriously, I hate counseling!

I don’t know. I do not know why I don’t feel well. I don’t think I have a cold, but I feel pretty awful. When I went to the gym in this morning, I almost fainted!! Really!! I was glad I wasn’t doing bench press! I wanted to work out more, but I couldn’t keep working out, so I came home. I just stayed at the gym about an half hour….no good. Maybe I am eating too much French toast. Maybe I am watching too much spongebob. Maybe I am reading too much text books. Or, maybe I am exploring too much spiritual stuff. I hope I get better by Thursday.

I finally sent out all cover letters and resume to the possible practicum sites today. I have no idea how many sites will respond, but you know, I am very kind and caring person, so who doesn’t want me? Well, I guess lots of people!! Seriously, I need to be needed!! Would you like one geek Japanese guy? No? Oooh why not!! I can play video game pretty well and I can fix your compuer!

Andrew emailed me saying he is having a surgery this Friday morning. I mean, what? Why does he have to have a facelift? Well, he didn't say he is having face lift, but I assume that he is having facelift because every show about facelift I have watched, the patients always have surgery in the early morning. Or, maybe he is having liposuction. Wait, no, since he is as skinny as me, he doesn’t have to have one. Oh, but you know, I kinda wanna have liposuction because I wanna take my fat out! That would be so awesome if I lose all fat around my stomach. Oh wait, but I am totally against plastic surgery (except reconstructive surgery). Hmmmmm. Life isn’t easy.

Ooooooooh, I forgot to buy bread!! I cannot make French toast without bread. Maybe I can wake up early tomorrow and get some. Oh wait, but since I have to get to the office by 9am, I don’t think I have a time for that. Hmmmmmm, life is hard.

I made banana pancake in this morning. Although I had to get to the office by 9am, I was making pancake. Why? That’s because I didn’t have any bread left, but I wanted to eat something French toastish thing. It didn’t take much time to make pancake, so I was glad that I wasn’t late for work. I think pancake is a good thing.

Because I am very concerned about Andrew’s health, I called him asking why he is having a surgery. He told me that he is having a third eye surgery because his third eye is just about to open. When his third eye opens, the world will be destroyed, so in order to save the world, he needs to have surgery. Well, I am glad that he is not having facelift! By the way, it just doesn’t make sense that Ryan just left comment about asking me about Andrew’s surgery because Ryan and Andrew are living in the same city and, indeed, they live very close to each other. Oh, but now you know Ryan, Andrew is having the third eye surgery! Yaaaaaay!

Okay, read this article.

Read it? Well, you know, I do like Intel, but I am not sure about Itanium series. Itanium has been in the market for a while, but I am not sure how many people actually know about Itanium. I remember that when I was an undergrad, I often thought about “so, when Madison will be out??” Madison is the third generation of Itanium processor which Intel is releasing later this year. Before the Madison, there was McKinley which was pretty lousy chipset. The reason why Intel’s Itanium chip sucks is Itanium is totally different from current wide spread x86 architecture. Intel thought if they push new 64-bit Itanium chipset rather than making 64-bit x86 chipset, people would fall into Itanium. Well, people didn’t. Itanium is not compatible with x86 software, but it does have emulation mode which is super slow. That means, if you run Windows with Itanium, Windows would likely not run as fast as regular 32-bit x86 chipset such as Pentium series because Windows is made for 32-bit x86 chipset. Microsoft will be releasing 64-bit version of Windows sometime this year (or maybe next year). While Intel was struggling with Itanium, AMD released Opteron which is 64-bit x86 chipset. Even Apple released G5 which has 64-bit chipset with new MacOS X. Therefore, who wants to buy Itanium? According to the article, Intel will also release 32/64-bit x86 chipset (I guess Xeon series) later this year to fight back. But, I just don’t see the reason why Intel still bothers to keep Itanium alive. I had to give a presentation about Itanium when I was taking computer architecture class, so I had a chance to learn about Itanium. I think Itanium is pretty cool chipset, it has lots of fancy new technology. I know Itanium is not for personal use, it’s for server or people who do lots of calculation. But, Intel wants to eventually move Itanium to personal computing level. But, I have no idea if my PC ever will have Itanium chipset…

Well, maybe I better blog something I did today. Let me think…..oh yeah, I did cry in this morning! I was watching the movie called “Ordinary People” because we were supposed to pick one family to evaluate for the family therapy class. My group was trying to decide a family from “happiness” or this movie. I hadn’t seen "Ordinary People", so I was watching it before the class. Well, the movie was very emotional (I think). I was really moved by what the kid in the movie said about the reason why he tried to kill himself. I was kinda hysterical while watching this movie. I guess this movie did hit my spot.

For some reasons, I have been having hard time getting to Wednesday’s class on time. Maybe that’s because it starts from 1:40pm. I feel if I leave my room 1pm, I will get to the class too early. So, I try to leave around 1:10pm, but I always end up with leaving my room 1:20pm which only gives me 20 mins to get to the class. So, today, I decided to leave my room 1pm. As a result, I could be on time for the class. Yaaaay!!

After the class, Laura and I went shopping in the downtown. Of course, I did not buy anything because I am trying to save money! But, when we were at Levi’s store, Priyda called me saying she wants to go shopping in this weekend. Ooooooh, saving money is so hard!

It’s weekend, good. I missed Ken Ishii show, bad. On Thursday, after I got off from work, I came home and had a dinner. The show started from 10pm, but you know, I figured maybe if we could get there around 10:30pm ~ 11:00pm, that would be cool. So, I was watching spongebob from 6:30pm as usual. Then, when I opened my eyes, it was 2am in the morning… I was so confused. I had no idea what just happened. I just couldn’t accept the fact that I overslept. I turned off the phone because I was working all day, and forgot to turn back on. So, I couldn’t hear the phone ringing. Seriously, I was crying like a baby! It just sux! I missed the love of my life. I really think I am one of the biggest fans of him. I could be on MTV’s “Fantatic,” and screamed like a 16 years old girl. I hate my life.

I was kinda depressed about whole missing show thing, so I went to Priyada&Josh’s house last night. I really think I can more relax at their house than my tiny room. We watched movies and had some take out Chinese and watched sex and the city and drunk beers and had a good time. I just love staying over at their house!

Today, I had a mission. To teach Laura how to be a fabulous. Well, not really, but kinda yes. Laura needed to find a professional looking suit for practicum & interviews. We tried several suits at Bloomingdale’s, but all suits she tried on were the way too big. We were kinda “what’s fuck” mood, but when we went to the BananaRepublic, we found perfect fit suit! As a fabulous expert, I must make her to buy a pair of shoes goes with the suit. So, I took her to Kenneth Cole. She was not sure about buying $100 shoes, but I, somewhat, convinced her to try on couple pairs. As soon as she put on the shoes, she just fell in love with pointy cute shoes. Of course, she did buy a pair. I am pretty sure if her parents see her in the suit and shoes, they would cry! It was dramatic make over day for Laura.

So, I guess I know what Mr. Big’s real name is now. The last episode of Sex and the City was pretty good. As usual, I went to Matt&Melissa’s house to watch the show. I missed first 5 mins because I thought the show starts from 9pm, so I was watching the Simpson’s! I thought maybe getting there an hour before would be cool. I am just glad I left my room early cos if I didn’t, I would miss whole show. Melissa was crying like a mug in the entire 45 mins. Oooooh! She was saying the last episode was everything she wanted to be. The ending was pretty predictable, but I still liked it. But, I really liked tonight’s the Curb Your Enthusiasm! It was just so hysterical. Maybe, I should get a HBO!

Last night, Courtney was having party, so I went to her house with Sarah. The party was fun….I think. I really liked Courtney’s puppy. She was ultra super cute. I feel like I was playing with puppy more than talking to people. It did make me wanna puppy. Yeah, if I get a puppy, I would name him Bob. But, I still do not like puppy smell. I cannot remember how many times I washed my hands last night. At the party, Jill was telling me that she went to the Oprah Winfrey show. She saw Beyonce and other good stuff! Seriously, I really feel life is unfair. Do you have any idea how many times I tried to get a ticket for that show?

I was working on the family genogram paper all day. Since I have only my family, it’s kinda hard to write about family generation stuff. Hmmm. My paper is really just about my family history, no grandpa stuff. Maybe I can just make up the story, you know like alcoholism runs in the family. Oh wait, that’s not making up story, that’s real one!

I was working on my family genogram paper until 3am last night. I kinda finished writing it last Sunday, but I felt I needed to re-write, so I did rewrite my fucking paper. Seriously, I had such a hard time writing this paper. I tried to analyze my family dynamics, but since I am still working on lots of family issues, it was impossible to objectively interpret my family. Ugh. I gotta go to Prof. office tomorrow and explain why my paper sux, so I won’t get D!

TGIT!! So, I had multicultural counseling class……as usual. I really really reaaaaaaallllly hate this class. Today’s topic was American-American. We were discussing about why people think African-American people are violent. Before the discussion, we watched an hour long video about, of course, Black history in the U.S. The video was incredibly boring, and I could not keep eyes open. In the end of discussion, our professor lost his mind and ordered us to give a comment about the video. I was so tired and couldn’t think about anything, so I just said “Well, since black neighborhood has higher crime rate than other area, I think it is natural to connect violence and black people.” Ouch. Well, my comment was regrettable, but I didn’t say that black people are too sensitive about stereotypical view of them. I mean c’mon, the number one cause of death among black male between ages of 19 – 24 is fucking homicide! So, don’t you think I wasn’t too wrong right? Well, but I do think all media really emphasize violence and black male too much. You know, serial killers and child molesters are often White males, so I guess White males are more crazy and scary. Also, I never though about it, but one of girls in the class said that Halle Berry should refuse accepting her Oscar for her role in Monster’s Ball because in the movie, she played super stereotypical African-American as well as Denzel Washington in Training Day. I had never thought about that way, but it was my “Ah-Ha” experience! I just realized that I do write a lot about my multicultural counseling class!! I guess I like this class then! Well, no, really I hate this class.

Spring break! Yaaaay!! Paaarrrrtttyyyyy!! Well, I wish. I think my spring break will be sux as hell. I must catch up readings cos I am 140% behind. Also, I gotta start working on the research paper for the multicultural counseling class. This semester will be over within 6 weeks. No wonder I am getting old before I actually realize it.

Good news is I got Girl Scout cookies today. They are thin mint! My fav! Cookies were selling at the grocery store near by my apt! I must get another box tomorrow. Also, this Friday is my payday. Yaaay, money!

My dad emailed me today pretending as my cat and my bros’ dog...crazy dude. Yeah, my family got a dog without my consent couple weeks ago. I am still upset about that because my cat is not good at socializing with other animals. She even does not get along with own kind....other cats. I guess I spoiled her too much when she was a little. I think she thinks she is human or something. You know, my cat is almost 15 years old or maybe older, so I really really don’t want anything bad for her. I really really think puppy is not good for her metal health. Last time I talked to my mom, she told me that my cat has been hiding in the closet all day. Seriously, it did break my heart. I hope my cat finds a way to get along with new puppy. Ugh.

Tonight, I was watching Extreme Make Over. Well, there was a guy who was fat and gross in the tonight’s episode. He had, of course, liposuction and other stuff. Then, he turned out 32 inch waist 6-pack dude!! What’s fuck! I did make me feel super fat! So, I went to the gym as soon as I finished watching the show. I had a good 45 mins run, but I still feel so fat. It’s all because of this stupid show!

Today was pretty crazy day in Chicago. Oak Street was shut down because Nicolas Cage was at premiere for his new movie. And, NBS’s today’s show was in Chicago. And, there was a long line at Boarder’s on Michigan Ave for Sting’s event. Yeah, Sting is in Chicago. Aaaaah, I love him. I could stand in the line, but the even is going to be tomorrow. People were standing the line to get a wristband which is supposed to be a pass for tomorrow’s event. Since it was a cold and I was so tired, I just went home.

On the way home, I called Sarah to see if she wanted to grab some foods with me. However, she was having girls’ night out with Kim. I tried to join in, but you know, they were having girls’ night out. I wanna have a boys’ night out, but since my male friends aren’t really going out type kinda guys, it is kinda hard for me! Maybe I can force Josh and Matt to come with me…or not!

I am so excited! I am on spring break!! I wanted to do something spring break, so I went to shopping today. Well, I wasn’t planning to do, but I had to pick up my transcript at campus, so you know, since I was in the downtown, I just went for shopping. I was looking for cool shoes, but I just couldn’t find ones! I mean, I did check every fucking store, but no store had a pair I like. I just don’t understand why it is so hard to find a pair of shoes! I am living in fucking Chicago and I went to fucking downtown!!! Because I was in the mood of shopping, I just bought jeans at Diesel. They are low rise. I have never bought any low rise jeans, so I am excited about that. Well, low rise for guys is pretty gay, but hey, I am one of them, so I don’t care! Of course, it’s not as low as girl’s one…if it was as low as girl’s low rise pants, that would be very disturbing. I am not really huge fan of Diesel, but the jeans I tried on looked good, so I just bought it without looking at price tag. Well, gotta thank my dad!

Seriously, I need to eat Mexican food. I just have to. Not, Chipotle, I need to go to authentic Mexican restaurant. Or, maybe fancy restaurant in general. I wanna eat something I usually don’t eat, or Mexican foods. Aaaaaaah!!!

I finally got an interview next Wednesday. Yaaaaay! But, I only heard back from one site. What’s going on!? Am I unemployable (again) or what!

By the way, this is my 555th entry. Yay 555!!

Today was very slow and nice and warm day. I woke up around 10am, well, I could keep sleeping if stupid SBC didn’t call me! My local phone carrier is already SBC, and I subscribe SBC/Yahoo DSL service, so what do they want from me?? SBC has been calling me at least twice a day. FYI, I do pay my bill as soon as it comes!

It was really warm outside today, so I went jogging along the lake. I hadn’t been running outside for a while, so it was nice. However, first 5 mins was so tough. I was running, but same time, I was having asthma attack. I thought maybe I should stop running because my lung was telling me to do so. So, I stopped running and started walking. The good thing about my asthma is it gets settled very quickly. Since I have been dealing with him, I know about him very well. He comes out at night when I have a lot of alcohol or milkshake. Oh, and if I play with cat, I do get him coming out from me too. See, it is so unfortunate that I am super allergic to cats. Of course, I am allergic to my cat too. I have no idea how I made it through the night sleeping with her every night when I was living in Japan. Anyway, after 5-10 mins walking, I started running again. This time, I felt soooo capable, and I continued running. However, I suddenly realized when I got to Navy Pier that I had to run back. Ouch. Seriously, I was dying when I was jogging back to my place. I could walk, but when I am jogging, I become very competitive. I just don’t want people to pass me by. I am just glad that I could jog back to my place!

I was supposed to shop with Matt today, but he cancelled on me last night! According to him, Matt and Melissa need to have a quality time together today. Well, I guess that’s good for them. Of course, I told him I will be mad at him canceling me for million years. Although I had no one to go shopping, I really wanted to buy stuff, so I went shopping around my area. I was wearing the sweater I got from Bloomingdale’s, but when I went to Urban Outfitters, I remembered that they have same sweater too. Then, suddenly I was too self conscious to shop there. You know, I hate seeing same sweater I was wearing at the store! So, I just left the store and went to Untitled. Well, they had same sweater I was wearing, and they were on sale! Noooooooo!! Well, I got this sweater for sale, so I don’t object with my sweater on sale. But, I just couldn’t enjoy shopping there because I knew people there were thinking “oooh, look, he is wearing the sweater which is on sale!” I shall not wear this sweater never again….until next year.

The funny thing is I got letter from the circuit court. Yeah, I have been summoned for jury service! When I saw the envelop, I thought “damn, another unpaid parking ticket!?” But, it wasn’t. Of course, I am not qualified to be a jury because I am not U.S. citizen. Thing pisses me off is even thought I am required to report to the INS every time I move or change my school, state doesn’t know I am not a citizen. You know, I am fucking required to take finger print every time I enter this country! Know your audience! Track me!! Now, I have to call jury administration and tell them I am not qualified. I kinda wanted to see what jury selection is like until I saw the note the selection process will take 9:30am til 4:30pm. Ugh, I am glad that I am not qualified!!
