Jello Cheesecake Cupcakes!

I stayed up til 4am last night writing my ESYS paper. I don't know why, but I always take forever writing papers now! Maybe because I actually have to research, and I put that aside until I have to start writing. hahaha But aside from having that due today, I also had a BILD midterm, which I didn't study for until this morning. @ @ I could've done better if I'd studied more, but ah, whatever. I also waited an hour at the bus stop because the 150 failed.

So after I got back, I decided to be lazy. I threw in some laundry; made myself a Grilled Cheese to go along with The Office; and made cheesecake cupcakes! From the box, no bake! :D haha





They came out pretty well. I think the filling wasn't as thick as it should've been, but whatever haha. It's a Jello no bake dessert :P It only took 15 minutes to mix everything, and 1 hour to chill it in the fridge. So, yay for easy boxed desserts! loool

Class, Gym, Shaved Ice, and Watermelon

That pretty much sums up my day. haha

I was going to go home after the Shaved Ice Fundraiser, but I had JUST missed my bus. I saw it leave the stop I was going to, and I frowned. My bus only comes once an hour during that time, so I decided to just stay at the library until the GBM dinner @ 6.

I changed my wall. It used to be this emo pic of a rain cloud pouring on a guy. It made me laugh! But I decided to change it to another Threadless wall instead. It's from a shirt called Found Anything Yet? I added the text, which I spent 30 minutes finding a font for and adjusting. looool But yay! Adventure wall.


Then I spent the next hour trying to read, but falling asleep instead, and being an inadvertent inspiration/model for one of Eileen's drawings. She even forced me to go back to sleep so that she could continue.. lol. I have yet to see what it looks like.

We bought this watermelon for the sleepover on Friday, but we never got around to cutting it. So I decided to cut it today! It reminded me of the giant watermelon Electrode from the Pokemon episode we watched at DCON. lmfao. I cut it open and the halves looked like a face! Cool B) The watermelon was delicious and juicy. There's still half of it sitting in Peter's fridge. Yum.

At least I Twittered :P

So much for this blog! I haven't updated in more than 2 weeks! hahaha. My life's been updated on Twitter though, so I guess that kinda makes up for it :P

My past 2.5 weeks in bullet points and a lack of pictures:
  • Spring Break was way too short. I spent 5 days at home, most of it playing Pokemon Platinum! and stressing/slaving over DCON spirit items. But they turned out well. Yaaay :)
  • DCON was amazing. Maybe cuz I basically skipped all the workshops this year, haha.
  • Lost my voice for a week after DCON from all the shouting and cheering. It's still a little scratchy. haha oops! But mucho fun :)
  • My opportunity to be Paradise Ltg came and passed. I think I'll always be 20/80 (yes/no). Sometimes even 30/70. Meh. Oh well.
  • But Jeff came down and hung out with us for the first half of Week 1! And we finally did the Hoedown Throwdown and recorded it for McJoe. haha
  • Week 1 went by hella fast. Two of the three classes I'm taking are reading/research intensive. Geez. The third one is BILD 1. ahaha
  • My wrecked car finally got towed. But my dad also surprised me with a new Camry. Wth o.o
  • Kiwanis One Day was excellent! Despite waking up super early to catch the weekend bus to go to campus, I had a really good time at the event.
  • And now it's Week 2! Ack! Gotta get more reading and research done!

Flight Home

For some reason, everyone from UCSD decided to fly home today. At the same time. Haha, probably because the prices were cheapest during the noon-time hours. And then some people's flights were delayed. But holy crap, there were so many people we knew at the airport!

It's always fun when you sit next to someone who talks to you on the plane. I was planning to read Plan B 3.0 to get started on next quarter's readings (lmfao), but I would've probably fallen asleep out of tiredness anyway. The guy was a 2nd Year Int'l Studies/Poli-Sci Warren student named Bryant ("like Kobe Bryant") who just got evicted from his on-campus apartment for a drinking violation. (Sucky Resident Dean!) But we ran into conversations about all sorts of random life/academic stuff, like our majors, interracial girlfriends, Ethnic Studies, profesors, education systems, etc. lolol, so nerdy, but this guy was "dope." (He used that word a lot.)

While talking about internships and such, I found out that he's running for AS All-Campus Senator with Student Voice. We started talking about that since I knew a couple of people on that slate. I brought up my former housemate Daniel, who was running for AS Physical Sciences Senator with Student Voice also. I told Bryant about all the great freegan progressive adventures Daniel has had, and that he should talk to him more about it cuz he seemed really interested. Hooray for connecting people. haha

He started falling asleep after we landed. At one point, I saw a drip of drool. ahahaha I woke him up as we were de-planing.

Anyway, so I got home. Usual greeting/feeding routine, etc. I went to my room and found a surprise there! Two, actually, from my (cool) cousin Tien who's working in Shanghai as an interior architect. She got me name stamps, with cartoony stuff on it. ahaha, I like them a lot! She even made them for two names! Jotan and Dante. ahaha I don't really know what I'd use them for, but what coolness :)
