Law School

2007-09-11T21:36:00.000-07:00

Law school started roughly 5 weeks ago. Its basically been like finals week every week in terms of the amount of work. But its not actually that bad. We'll just have to see how I feel after I get grades here.

I joined a flag football team here. We had one practice the Friday before last and our first game last friday. Practice was fun, but I missed the first game due to a make up class that was scheduled for the same time as our game. :( Very sad, but they won without me or Katie (who was also at the make up class).

Graduation

2007-03-30T18:39:00.000-07:00

Looks like I'll be graduating. Yay! Bio chem came out okay, had a bit of a scare with my internship but all is well. So now its off to law school. I just don't know which school to go to.

Almost There...

2007-03-07T11:53:00.000-08:00

Just two more weeks of school. After that hopefully I will be done with undergrad, but we'll see. I need to pass bio chem for that -_-;. Other than bio chem my classes have been going really well. I have gotten into four of my law schools, but Hastings didn't want me. I'm still waiting to hear back from the others. At the moment I'm leaning towards either McGeorge here is Sac or moving back up to Portland to go to Lewis and Clark.

The Zoo

2007-02-17T21:47:00.000-08:00

So apparently Sacramento has something called museum day. This means that all the museums are free. So of course I needed to go to the zoo. Katie, Stacy, and I, went to the Sacramento Zoo and Fairy Tale Town (at least thats what I think it was called. The zoo was fun, but really small as far as zoos go. Although I've only been to about 3 zoos, and I visited those years ago. After our outings we went to dim sum. Poor Stacy didn't like almost everything. Oh well. At least she has been exposed to it. Even if she did reject some of the best food ever. :P

Nationals 2006

2006-04-13T15:33:00.000-07:00

The NAIGC nationals competition was this past weekend. I have now attended my first nationals event. Yay! I obviously didn't place, but it was still fun. We left for Oakland thursday and came back Sunday. The Davis team competed Friday night. OSU was in our rotation. That was neat. We all did pretty well during the competition. I totally failed on floor though. I fell on my front tumbling pass and forgot the rest of my routine. Saturday was the day of the banquet. I pretty much missed all the dancing due to partying/drinking. That was mildly disappointing, but I ahd a good time.

Winter Quarter

2006-03-18T22:45:00.000-08:00

This quarter has been a bit hectic. My parents have finally moved. The are currently living in DC. At the moment they are renting a hous, trying to find a good one to buy. The pets all moved with them. I'm not to happy that my cat and dog are gone, but its not like I could take care of them anyway.

I just finished my last final this morning. I'm done pretty early, which is nice. Having mroe time to study would have been better though. I didn't really apply myself to school this quarter. So now I'm in the bay with Dennis enjoying my first day of spring break. I helped him clean his old house. (Only a little bit though,I was too late to be much help.) Then we went to fly kites and went out to dinner at Tomodachi's.

The gym club had their home meet last weekend. It was really cool. We hired offical judges for once. The competeing teams were OSU, UCLA, Berkeley, us, and two girls from Stanford. There were so many girls that we had to split them into two groups to compete. We didn't want there to be an hour wait between when you warmed up and when you got to go. There weren't that many men so they weren't a problem. I posted some pictured from the meet. I didn't get pictures form all events because my camera died while the first round of girls was on beam. Dennis took most of the pictures until beam since I was busy until then.

Done

2006-02-15T00:18:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I still didn't stop. I like the way it looks now. Let me know if something doesn't look right, is hard to read, or won't load correctly.

Almost There

2006-02-14T23:03:00.000-08:00

I lied. I worked on it some more. Looks a bit better. Not done yet though. I'll finish it up later. Thanks to Sean for figuring out how to make the side bar and body see through.

Anyway, gym failed tonight. I almost ate it on strap bar -_-;. It was really sad. I thought it would be a good idea to do some straps before going to the high bar since I've been working the new dismount lately instead of my giants. Apparently I suck now :P. Oh well. For those of you who don't know, Stacy and I are working a new bar dismount; toe on front. I have no idea if it has a real name but its fun. Its still in the pit stage. Haven't moved it to the mats yet. I don't know if I'll get to that stage, but I'm just happy to be doing it.

In other news, Valentine's day was fun. Dennis sent me flowers :). Class was fun, and I went to gym.

New Design

2006-02-14T18:30:00.000-08:00

So, I've decided I need a new background. Unfortunately I don’t have time to make one at the moment. So, the ugly one that’s up right now might be here for a while. Sorry about that.

Anyway, school hasn't been that great this quarter, but hopefully I can turn it around. I managed to miss the due date for an exam. That was pretty traumatizing, but it seems to have worked out okay in the end.

I've been to three parties this quarter; an ABC party at Kelly’s house, Jessica O's birthday, and John's birthday. All were fun. I didn't have a camera at John's party so I don't have pictures from that event but other people do, including ave. I uploaded pics from the other party at shutter fly.

John's birthday. Pics from other people.

Update

2005-12-28T14:25:00.000-08:00

So I promised Sean I would update after finals. And finals have been over for a while so I guess I should post something.... This quarter was really busy. Not much going on with gym for me. I went to most practices, but I didn't actually practice a lot. Classes were fun but hard, I did pretty well in all of them; so I'm happy.

The first couple days of break were devoted to a ski trip. That was lots of fun. We spent 3 days skiing and stayed in Reno for the nights. I lost all the money I bet, which isn't really that surprising. I spent under 10$ on gambling so I'm okay with that. The first day of skiing was hard. It was a powder day. I honestly had no experience skiing powder. Now I do. I think I can live with out doing it again :P. The last day of skiing was awesome. It was a great day for my slalom skis. :).

The pic is courtesy of Eric Wu since I never bothered to use my camera :P. Its from the first day of powder. (As in the day that totally owned me -_-;)

Birthday Weekend

2005-11-09T00:19:00.000-08:00

So my birthday is over. How sad. I've now reached the old age of 22. On the day of we went out to lunch at Baker's Square, made a Costco run, and then went out to eat at a restaurant called Claim Jumpers. It was a pretty good day all told. I had birthday dinner with my family the next day which was fun. You can find pics of my birthday with Rosina's pictures.

Wheee

2005-11-05T11:07:00.000-08:00

Yay! I did giants on the high bar. : )

I also did them on the low bar and somehow managed to whack the high bar -_-;. My poor toe is bruised.

Math

2005-11-03T10:38:00.000-08:00

Man, I think I need to do some major math reviewing. I'm pretty sure I just failed my econ midterm, and the class only has 10 people. The curve isn't looking to good. :(

Halloween

2005-11-02T15:22:00.000-08:00

I created a photo album for the Halloween meet so people could see all the pics. : ) http://lolli.shutterfly.com/action/

I did pretty well on bars. I made the routine up the night before and I did the first ever full routine while i was competing. Yay me. I also competed floor, which was a surprise. At 1 am the night before I went over to Stacy's house and started coreographing the routine. We didn't finish so I was thinking I wouldn't compete. But the judge was like "no I want to see strawberry shortcake compete." So I did. Needless to say it wasn't very good. Aside from not being very pretty I also kinda fell on my head. My socks slipped on a four-incher when I was about to do a front tuck :P.

Back!

2005-09-27T09:50:00.000-07:00

Sooo, I started writing this post while in seattle and got lazy. Then I tried to write more of it when I got home and got even lazier. So I have just decided to give up and post what little actually made it into my vacation post :P.

My uncle managed to drag me along to his Tae Kwan Do classes because they were having seminars with some really good guy. It was pretty fun. Way over my head but still fun. This is a pic of my uncle, aunt, the guy giving the seminars, me,and guy in charge of the school (in that order).

One of the seminars was on grapling. They decided I needed a picture of what I learned but I was laughing too hard to even try.

Vacation :)

2005-09-20T20:22:00.000-07:00

Well, I am currently in Pennsylvania visiting my granparents. I've been here for two days. Yesterday we went to Longwood Gardens. It has a nice Italian water garden as well as normal garden stuff. I took some pictures of it that will be up when I get back to Davis.

After that we came back home and my Uncle Chuck, Aunt Kathy, and Uncle Paul came over to ahve dinner. That was fun aside form some long awkward pauses.

Today we went to down town Philly. There we did some touristy stuff such as see the liberty bell and go to liberty hall (Pennsylvania State House). We did all this before but its been a while so Katie and I figured it would be fun to do it again. The Constitution Center was new, and that was fairly interesting. There was quite a bit to do there and I wouldn't mind going back. There were several areas that focused on cases brought before the Supreme Court; which I found really interesting. It kind of made me want to be a Supreme Court justice. But then reality set in and I regained my senses.

Uncle Paul came over for dinner again tonight. He gave us 100$, yay spending money. :) Tomorrow Katie and I are taking the train into town and doing stuffs. We haven't really decide what it is we are doing yet. We will probably make it up as we go along.

Mario party

2005-09-12T15:24:00.000-07:00

Other old news:
I won my first game of multi-player Mario Party! That night was lots of fun. We played drinking mario party. Apparently I play better slightly drunk. By the end of the game though I was too drunk to do much. Lots of fun. :)

Rosina took pics from that night, and you can see them here (plus other pics):

Update

2005-09-11T09:59:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since the last post. Summer school is almost over. Thank goodness. A few days after it ends I will be heading to Pennsylvania to visit my grand parents, and then the Washington to visit my Aunt and Uncle. Should be fun.

I moved out of the Arbors, and am now living on campus. Yay!

Davis Diamonds closed for a week so some of us headed down to Berkeley to practice (twice). That was pretty fun. There are a lot more people in the gym. Makes it easy to stay motivated. This last thursday was giants day. Stacy and I were going to do them on the high bar. Stacy did some, but I discovered I was scared of casting to handstand up there :P. So now I'm over that fear. Hopefully I can make it around the bar this tuesday.

The pic is my kitty tattoo from the fair. It has glitter :).Jenn, Stacy, Ave and I all went to the state fair last weekend. It was pretty fun. We went on the rides, looked at the live infomercials, looked at the live stock, saw some dancing, ate deep fried oreos, and looked at the exhibits. The deep fried oreos weren't that good. We didn't see the deep fried twinkies or reeses.

I also went down to the bay twice. Had fun both times. I ate some good foodies this last time. All I can eat is apparently not very much -_-;.

This is a pic of my new car. Going to work is getting it sooo dirty. Just thought I would share. : )

Play Time!

2005-08-16T11:12:00.000-07:00

Playgrounds are awesome. Unfortunately some stupid parents are trying to ruin the playground experience for the new generations (and me). You may have noticed that over the years some of the more fun play structures have been fazed out. They seem to think that because some equipment isn’t safe for their one year old it shouldn't be in the playground. HELLO, maybe you should watch your own damn kid. If a something is too dangerous or scary maybe the stupid kid shouldn't play on it. Wait a few years till its feet can touch the ground. Or maybe you could even do it with him.

Anyway, I went to the park last night. It was fun.

(This post brought to you by a total lack of seesaws.)

Rarrr

2005-08-09T16:41:00.000-07:00

Swimming! Yay, I love water.
That's all.

SF

2005-08-08T22:18:00.000-07:00

I had a good weekend. Yann and Ann both recently turned 21 so there was a party at Ann's house in SF this weekend. She made reservations at a restaurant called Nirvana. It was a fun dinner. Most people liked their food. Mine had an odd sauce, but it was still okay. There was awful traffic on our way to the bay Saturday. We got to SF pretty much right before we were supposed to be at the restaurant. Which meant that I had to change into my dress and stuff in the car. :P

The next day Yann and I went to an out door concert with Rosina, Dennis, Derick, Chris and a friend of Rosina's. Afterwards we went to Rosina's house and hung out. I discovered I d0n't like 24. That show made me paranoid, and it was depressing. I also had Zachary's pizza for the first time. yay : )

Some of the girls from Saturday night.

Naked Guys!

2005-07-28T01:16:00.000-07:00

Okay, so they weren't totally naked. But they were pretty close. The girls from gymnastics went to see Men of Exotica for Leilah's bachelorett party. It was definitely an interesting experience. :P The dancing was just funny (not sexy at all). Me being the wierdo I am decided it would be a good idea to have pictures. It is also possible I was a bit drunk so I didn't feel as silly taking them. The night was really fun and shocking. I think a great deal of the fun came from how shocking it was, but I don't think it would have quite the shock factor if I did it again. So I don't think I will be going to strip shows anytime in the near future.

I also tried four new drinks last night (only two were mine, I just tasted the other two). They were a long Island ice tea, Tahitian tea, Washington apple, and an amaretto sour. They were all pretty good. Its hard to order stuff when you don't know the names of any drinks. But apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't know the names of a lot of stuff. I asked for what the girl in front of me got (Washington apple) and then the girl behind me also asked what it was and got it.

After the show there was dancing. Which was also really fun. Stacy got the same guy trying to dance with her twice. She danced with him for a little while, then we saved her, and a little later he came back and we had to do it again. Jennifer got a really sweaty guy who just wouldn't go away though. I saved her; then he latched onto me and wouldn't go away. Rachel had to step in.

The ladys : )

Fun

2005-07-22T16:45:00.000-07:00

So the last couple days have been pretty cool. I went to a bar for the first time. It was okay, but Yann was going to spend the night at my house so I pretty much just wanted to go home. ( He isn't old enough to drink yet :P). Apparently after I left there was much fun to be had by Leilah, Ed, Kelly and Co., but oh well.

Today we went hiking again. We did the whole hike this time. Yay!. We went kind of fast though because Ave had to get back to work on time. It would have been nice to take more breaks and play in the water. Still fun though. After hiking we all went to Thai Recipies which was pretty good. I got something edible this time. I have a hard time with Thai food since I don't like coconut. (Just in case you want to know the hiking crew was Winnie, Ed, Megan, Ave, Jacky and myself; plus Dennis for lunch).

Then Ed, Jacky, Ryan and I went to the rec pool. Which was also fun. I now have swim suit lines. No good. : (

Gym

2005-07-15T10:25:00.000-07:00

There are a lot of people coming to the Tuesday and Thursday practices. Not as many people are coming on Saturday. Which is annoying because several people said they would and aren't doing it. Anyway, here is a pic of Keda and Nick doing handstands on the rings. Doesn't that make you want to come join us at practice. : )

Weekend

2005-07-10T16:50:00.000-07:00

This weekend was awesome. Yesterday I went to karaoke with some friends from high school. I majorly suck at singing, but its fun to just be loud and not care that I suck.

Today Ed, Ave, Stacy, and I went hiking in Cold Canyon. Ed was trying to take us to some place called North shore but we got lost so we had to head back and hike closer to home. I had to be back in Davis by noon so we couldn't complete the hike (it was supposed to take 3 hours). So we climbed to the top of the ridge and then came back down the way we came. I think I must be pretty out of shape because it was difficult to get to the top of the ridge. Ave on the other hand practically lapped us. -_-; On the way down he would run out of sight and then run back up. How he had that much energy I can't imagine. Possibly I need to do more cardio type activities.

Looky, its us. Ave and I are blinking :P.

Stuff

2005-06-19T11:40:00.000-07:00

I started work again last Friday. This year I am going to be counting butterflies in the middle of the afternoon out on Putah creek. It sounds kind of fun, but then I think of how hot it will be, and that I now need to buy a car. By the end of summer I will have a massive farmer's tan :P.

Saturday I helped my parents hold a garage sale. That was pretty boring, but but we got rid of a lot of stuff. My mom sold my old desk for 10$, and I sold my sister's for 4$. Haha I had a better desk. Apparently at 6:30am (we were going to start at 8am) some woman knocked on my mom's door to see the garage sale stuff and wouldn't leave. Some of the people you get right at the beginning of garage sales are amusing.

I have now also seen Star Wars. I liked it, and Katie didn't. I think I liked it because I went into it with such low expectations all the super corny lines didn't really bother me.

All Done

2005-06-13T17:47:00.000-07:00

YAY! I'm all done with finals! There were a few mishaps along the way, but its all done now and I don't care anymore. So I went to the wrong final at one thirty today. I thought I had eve 101 but as it turns out I had ent 156. I almost panicked, but I figured it out and got to the correct final right as he was passing out the tests.

Better

2005-06-10T19:51:00.000-07:00

Okay, I got a hair cut. I feel a bit better now. The class is being curved so hopefully I will still get an A. (There are only 7 of us in the class so I don't really understand how the curve is supposed to work).

Grrr

2005-06-10T15:17:00.000-07:00

I'm frustrated. My ent107 class was basically a big lab with a project. For the project you had to identify 100 families and keep a field notebook. I Identified 101 families correctly and 7 families incorrectly. This would lead you to believe that my identification accuracy would be 93%, but according to them it is 77%. See how they decided to judge accuracy was to start with ten points and deduct .2 something for every mistake. It doesn't really help the grr feeling that all but one of my mistakes were due to me putting the wrong bug with the wrong label when I transfered them to the new box. GRRRRRRR! This sucks.

EVE 101

2005-06-08T21:50:00.000-07:00

So, this morning I woke up at 9:00am, after sleeping forever. I went to talk to Katie around 10:00am, and she asked what class I had at 9 am. I told her I didn't have a class then, that my first class was tumbling at 11. After eating dinner with Leilah I realized that I do indeed have a class at 9. I completely forgot I had an eve discussion -_-:.

All-nighter

2005-06-08T16:58:00.000-07:00

So, I tried to do an all nighter...and failed. I don't think I've done a successful all nighter in my life. I feel so inadequate :P. As a result of sleeping instead of working I turned in one of the worst papers of my life yesterday. Oddly enough I don't really feel to bad about it. The only things I feel bad about are that my professor has to read it, and that he might think less of my capabilities.

In other news the one of the guys in charge of UCD sports clubs is moving to UC Merced. We had some issues with him this year. So I want to be happy about this, but I keep thinking we are going to have the same issues with the new guy.

Banquet

2005-06-04T22:42:00.000-07:00

So the gym club had it's banquet tonight. Which was pretty fun. We ate hamburgers, chicken, and other assorted snacks. Leilah's husband, Patrick, made us all mudslides. I hadn't had one of those before. I think they could use more chocolate, and a bit less alcohol, but it was still good. Roseline told us about some of her stay in Ukraine. Specifically she told us about not showering for two weeks and public bathrooms. She said that by the end of two weeks she could run her hand through her hair and stick it strait up like in "Something about Mary." Apparently the public bathrooms are so gross that it is not uncommon for people to use the sidewalk. So she had a four hour ride ahead of her and had to use one of these things. She went in and found that one of the holes in the ground was literally overflowing and that another had shit smeared on the wall. Apparently people step in the over-flowing yucky stuff and then wipe their feet on the wall to get it off. After that she decided the sidewalk was a better place to go to the bathroom. The take home message here is to be very thankful for flush toilets.

The last couple of days

2005-06-01T22:03:00.000-07:00

So my super cool pet isn't as cool anymore. It pupated and is now a light brown color. The chrysalis is still pretty interesting looking but nowhere near the previous level of nifftyness.

In other news I got a new skill on bars. Yay me. Its called an uprise. At the same time as the uprise I also got my first rip in a year or so. I was going to take a picture but it stopped bleeding. It just wasn't as impressive after it started to dry out.

On the same day I got an uprise, and a rip, the power brakes in the van went out. That was scary. I was driving down a hill at the time and discovered that I couldn't depress the brake pedal. I managed to push down hard enough to get it to slow a bit and basically coasted it to the car fixer people. I think it may be time to get rid of the van. But if we do that I will definitely miss having a car.

Yay! New pet.

2005-05-27T11:24:00.000-07:00

Well I finally made one of these. Lets see if it survives more than four posts this time. Anyway, my entomology 107 class went black lighting last night. It was awesome. We drove one of the white university vans out to Stebbins Reserve, and set up black lights on either side of it. We also hung white sheets over the sides of the van and insects landed all over it. I got a bunch of cool stuff for my collection as well as a new pet. I haven't named it and I probably won't. Its a pipevine swallow tail (they feed on pipevine :P.)
