Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard That pretty mouth say that dirty word And I can't even remember now, what she backed my truck into But she covered her mouth and her face got red and she just looked so darn cute That I couldn't even act like I was mad- Yeah I live for little moments like that
That's like just last year on my birthday She lost all track of time and burnt the cake And every smoke detector in the house was going off She was just about the cry Until I took her in my arms And I tried not to let her see, me laugh- Yeah I live for little moments like that
I know she's not perfect, but she tries so hard for me And I thank God that she isn't Cause how boring would that be? It's the little imperfections, it's the sudden change in plans When she misreads the directions and we're lost But holding hands- Yeah I live for little moments like that
When she's laying on my shoulder, on the sofa, in the dark And about the time she falls asleep, so does my right arm And I want so bad to move it, cause its tingling and its numb But she looks so much like an angel, That I don't wanna wake her up- Yeah I live for little moments- When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it- Yeah I live for little moments like that
It's 4am. I have to "wake up" at 7am to go to Brentwood to teach kids stuff. I'm a teaching assistant for the science lab in this elementary school in Brentwood. I work with 3rd graders. It's really fun, but I don't think I wanna be an elementary school teacher; I don't wanna be responsible for messing up their lives, lol.
I got done with class today at 7pm and had dinner with Cee and had a nice chat - I love this woman! lol she makes my life so much more interesting and I can talk to her about ANYTHING - even secret stuff! and then I got back to my apartment and been working since. I finished my lab report for my organic chemistry lab - write ups are soo time consuming! and then I started AND finished my physics homework, submitted my cpr for chem lab, and did my minilab for psych. I had a really productive night, but I still have so much more to do! I gotta create my lesson plan for my class, and that's due on Monday. I have endless lab reports for o-chem lab. My physics midterm is on Wednesday. and I have sooo much reading to catch up on!
I need to run. I gotta find some time to go on that "long run" I've been looking forward to. I need to create a playlist. Any song suggestions?
I still need to find an apartment for next year! I hope it's not too late to look next quarter.. =/ I hate the shower at my apartment. The water's hella weak sauce and the temperature keeps changing from too hot to too cold. I took a shower today and turned the knobs to the max and the water was just leaking - what the hell is wrong with the water!
I wanna go hoooommmeee!!! =( ugghhh 4 more weeks!

I'm a little sad because I think I've lost all connections with my friends from Oakland. Since I've been at UCLA, I've been having so much fun making new friends, and since I rarely go home during the school year, I see my high school friends less and less, and become closer and closer with the friends I made here in LA. To start with, I didn't have a lot of high school friends anyway, so whenever I went home, I had no one to hang out with. No one at home misses me or waits for me to come home, and I really don't keep in touch with anyone from home. I guess it's because I didn't get the chance to get close to anyone. Everyone that I can think of from high school who still hangs out together have known each other for many years and they used to hang out together in elementary school or middle school. I never had that - long term friendships. The duration of my friendships are usually 1-2 years, not long enough to create any lasting impression on anyone. And I felt like I kept myself so busy in high school that I didn't have "time" for friends. But I do feel super excited when old friends from home call me up to hang out with them. =]
And then I think about my friends in LA. What's going to happen to these friends when I graduate? How often will I talk to them or see them? Will we still be friends? How many of my friendships here in LA are going to be meaningful enough to sustain when I graduate?
... I have so much trouble keeping friends... =[

I think I'm beginning to freak out a little...
I want to go to graduate school but I'm afraid my undergraduate record isn't strong enough for admission. I need to be more involved academically and get some strong letters. I think it's funny how there can be "shortage" in a field and it's "in high need" but the admission into the program is still highly competitive.
I'm watching Monster-in-Law right now. hahah the mom is so annoying. I just wanna slap that bitch! I hope I don't get a mother-in-law like that. lol
and I saw Robin Hood today for the first time! I love it! it's such a cute movie and their accents are so adorable!
I have a rat at my apartment. It's in my kitchen. It helps clean the apartment and cook for me and my roommates. lol I'm just kidding, but seriously, there's a rat in my apartment. It's trapped inside one of our pantries and all of us are afraid to open it. It's so ga-ross.
I was walking to class in the rain today, and I walked through this windy area and my umbrella flipped inside out and a bunch of people saw it. hahah it was so embarrassing but that stuff is hilarious.
This weekend is catch-up weekend! I got so much shit to catch up on. 4 more weeks until finals week! ugh and I have my chem and psych finals on the same day! I can't wait until this quarter is over!
ouu $5 ANY foot-long at subway?! I AM THERE! hahah
