Christmas Break

Source Image: http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_reports/images/z4bmw2.JPG

Yes! Break.

I am excited about the break, not because of the christmas tree or the gifts.. well maybe gifts, but mainly because it is homework free! Stress is unlikely to be free, since you can always count on relatives for that at family gatherings. Rob and I have safely arrived at Pheonix, AZ for christmas with his parents. Mine are also coming over later on this week. It will be a "parents" christmas filled with awkward moments and embarrassing stories. Like that time you peed your pants, or that other time you went to the wrong bathroom... and all these other times that you don't want to talk about.

Our trip was alright. Southwest were on time. We did some christmas shopping today, driving around in the sexy sexy BMW Z4. (Thanks, Tom and Carol) It is a cool idea.... but just way to tiny for us. Especially when i' m used to driving around in a big tall SUV, suddenly i am a field rat running around on the ground, or it feels like it. I would rather have a bigger car. In the matter of getting killed and killing. I choose the latter.

Carol got sick from her beloved grandson, Logan. It is just the classic bitter sweet. Because of her Lupus, it takes a long time for her to get over even the commonest cold. I wish she could get better soon. She is the sweetest lady ever. And she has this glamorous personality. It's like being with a very down to early movie star, charming and lovable!

I'm going back to Texas with my folks on 26th. Really looking forward to see Elaine. I heard there will be lots of stories. I really should email her. I got to see Aaron, Guanting and Jane before i left, jane jane left campus real early this semester (grrrr)... I didn't get to see jason, which i sorta looked forward to. oh well... i got a couple of the grades back, they are not super great. but i'll see to that later.

Happy holidays everyone! I will be driving my sexy Z4 till 26th!

Super Mario 2 = Super Drug Induced

Image source: http://sotss.classicgaming.gamespy.com/media/artwork/smrpg/mario.gif

Yay! I finally got some time to finish up my super mario 2. This one is definitely the odd ball in the mario family. I guess at the end, they try to say it's in Mario's dream. But i really think whoever wrote this game was just trippin' on LSD. There are weird purple aliens, frogs, rats, monkey, train, and all sorts of weird characters! Oh man, it was hard though. Those old nintendo games are way harder than the newer ones. It's a lot of fun. I started Mario 3 but got bored, cause the pace is a lot slower, the worlds are shorter, it just seems not as fun any more....

Well, well. I finished my two exam today. So now for friday, there's stat homework due. I have my kinetics final on Saturday afternoon. Then the next week, control final on monday. stat final on thursday. Lab report due on Thursday. Then i think i should be done.

Say wha?

Image source: http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1217682/2/istockphoto_1217682_cartoon_explosion.jpg

I'm studying for the 430 mini-final, we have to know these "technological" disaster case studies. So what do we come to learn... um... things blow up because people did wha???

1) Try to replcace pipings while the process is up and running!
2) Hook up the switch in reverse position, on=off, off=on
3) No pressure relief valve on the reactor tank...
4) build houses on heavily chemical contaminanted land, and "donate" it to the educational board for a dollar
5) pay a railroad contractor to build a dam...
.
.
.

the list of most stupid causes goes on, but "i couldn't help by wonder", are these really technological disaster? Have we been all blaming the wrong "guy"? Mr. Tech must be so sad. It's the people's own stupidity...

It's sad but extremely funny in a sick sick way. My face kept getting confused about the emotions on display...

5% vs. 10 %

So i stayed up most of the night to study for Control quiz and 430 exam. Surprisingly i discovered that, the bi-weekly control quizzes are worth 10% of my grade per quiz, whereas, the 430 "mini-final" is only worth 5%, but the latter has way more material to study for, lots of memorizations.

Well, the decision was made. I dedicated most of my time last night for control. Luckily i have a 3 hour break between control and 430, so i'll continue my studying then. Robert has a big day today, 1 hour presentation, solid interviews and the lab tour! Good luck, baby. I love you, and always will stand by you.

Time to go take my quiz,

Later.

Portland, OR

Rob has left for Portland OR for a site visit/interview. Wish him luck. I heard the weather would be nice there, in the higher 60's actually. He will be heading back on Tues.
So i'll be sleeping alone for a few days. Having the bed all to myself! aww... i'll miss him.

A pain in the neck

http://www.triggerpointbook.com/trapeziuspoints.gif

I woke up this morning with 1/5 of the normal range of motion left on my neck. I turn my entire body around just so i can see beyond 45 degrees angles on both sides. I have pulled something in my neck. Now it is awekward and painful no matter what position it is in. I'm very close to reaching out and pop some pain killer. But then, i don't think i should, cause if i'm not feeling the pain, i might be less careful and pull it even worse. Afterall, feeling "pain" is self-protecting mechanism enbeded in the body. So i just have to suck it up and try to get over it in the next couple of days.
The semester is coming to an end, so is my drive for schoolwork, assuming i ever had some at one point or another. I thought alot about relatives, it really reminds me about the situation about the neck. Relatives can be such a pain in the neck. other times, they are essential to you life, like your neck, without it, you are useless. Only if "relative troubles" can be healed as fast as neck pain. In a couple of days, i will be able to turn my head again. But relative trouble are just there always, year after year. I read something on a friend's blog one time that i can really relate to just about now.

Relatives

"Sometimes, I really feel like people who are related by blood may not be as close as friends who is not related at all. People are friends or friendly with each other because there is a common ground. For the relatives, these people were given the common ground ever since they were born. Instead of using this common ground, people would go out of their ways to find a common ground with someone that they don't even know. People needed to be connected with others naturally. Even the loneliest painter who always works in his studio wants to have someone who can understand his art. Instead of using this born-given common ground, some people decided to reject it. Some people wanted to be the lone wolf, but he or she can never leave the humanity. He or she needed to be connected with other people in order to stay alive. I really don't understand this type of person. Some advantages were given to you, but you just don't want to use it at all. Even we are related by blood, I don't feel like I know the person at all. I have cousins that I don't even know where he or she lives? What are they doing? How old are they now? What has been happening with them? This just doesn't really make sense. I don't know anything about this relatives without even getting into conflicts or fights with them. It's not like something bad happened and we hate each other, or our parents hate each other. It's just natural ignorance. People take too many things for granted. One of my friends always says "Food on other people's plate always seems better." Instead of eating her own food, she has to fight with another person to get someone else's food. This just doesn't make sense at all. Instead of using what you have already, you would fight, work, and put in a lot of effort for something that's the same as what you have, or even worse. This is a type of human nature. It is so sad that this is happening to us."

Snow!

"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"

Yay! I woke up this morning, the room is bright! I looked outside, ah-ha! snow, EVERYWHERE. It's really kinda exciting, up until i stepped outside. There's snow on top of ice from last night. it's not all that fun anymore. I had hang on to Rob the whole time and hope i don't end up kissing the ground.

I bundled myself up in layers, earmuffs and baseball cap PLUS my thick winter jacket. If you have seen me out today, i probably look like the silly penguin from "Happy Feet" and you would have not recognized me at all. All you can see if just a big white puff ball, with baseball cap sticking out in the front. hahahaha When i got on the bus, i had my coffee mug, lunch box and purse in my hands, didn't really had a chance to remove all these layers, and i realized that i can NOT move at all! I had trouble even tilting my head to check my stop. Anyway, it's nice to stay warm under layers of clothes on a cold winter day. Houston sounds really nice right about now.

Despite the troublesome weather, i actually managed to make it to classes this morning. and it's a sweet thing that i did, we got 5 extra points for coming to stat 400 lecture this morning. I guess my instructor was just looking for brownie points on the evaluation forms, since we filled those out right after. Lina was all bitter, since she's been to class all semester but one lecture, and I just "stop by" now and then, still got the points. hehehe I love lina.
Control was good also. We did example problems that was supposed to be similar on question for quiz next monday. Now that's easier to study for, i am not worried as much.

This week has been just way "under-productive"...

Grandma

It is freezing outside! and raining! Gee, it's gonna snow tomorrow, slippery grounds kill people! But i am glad winter finally came, i've always love the crisp feeling you get when you step outside. Click here for weather forecast in Champaign, IL.

I finally got around to calling grandma tonight. It is always very uplifting to hear her voice and just talk to her about whatever. Somehow i promised her to buy her a big house and a talking camera! hahahaha


I miss my mommy.

I told her about the ungrateful brat. and i guess i wasn't looking for anything really... just to let it out to someone. Talked to holly when she's there also. She doesn't seem be doing much. My poor aunt still surround her own life around holly. Just like any other mother i know. I told my grandma i don't want to go to my own graduation. But i guess just for parents sake, it just has to be done. She suggested to call my uncle to see if he can help with the brat situation. I'm still thinking about it. If she doesn't change her behavior, i guess at one point or another, i'll have to kick her out somehow. My poor mother.

Haven't been too productive. Control quiz and 430 quiz on monday. Lots to study for. I hate this "post-break" syndrome. I just want to sleep!

speaking of which. Sleep sounds good.

Ungrateful brat!

I think she is miserable inside. The misery is eating her up, poking holes in her soul. Misery loves company. She's probably bitter she can't bring others down with her. An ugly person, that's what she is, inside and out. Ungrateful, disrespectful and ungraceful. It's ok if you dont have much, it's ok if you don't know much, it's even ok if you can't offer much. But it is absolutely disgusting when you think you don't have enough, while in fact you've been handed so much. The world doesn't own her a thing, on the contrary, she owns others enough. Some people are just never receptive to anything but physical violence. "You've just have to beat the fear into her".

The bottom line is, i know where you sleep...

T4 Free

Image Source: http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/711566/2/istockphoto_711566_blood_draw.jpg

YES! I finally got the right hormones tested today. My doctor for the physical yesterday was not an expert in Thyroid problem i guess. More surprisingly, my shrink is! So i got more blood drawn for testing T3 and T4 free today. So i guess we'll see in a few days. In the meanwhile i still just want to sleep for 20 hours a day! Missed my 2 morning class again!!!!

Grrrr... work piling up, and i am just sleeping non stop. It's getting very annoying now. Masel class at 3, should i go or not??? um... I better.

It's been a while

Mmmmm.... the last entry was back in aug. when i first moved into my glorious new apt. Time flies on by like nothin! Now it's already December, well darn close anyway. The semester is almost over. Not much new happened really in the past 4 months.

I go to class most of the times, sleep excessively when i get the chance, trying my hardest to actually doing the homeworks and get them turned in. I just realized, maybe that is something new for my college career. I'm actually trying to fulfill my student's duty for once! One more semester to go before i can be rid of schooling for a while. "the uncertain future awaits!... " Blah blah blah I'm not that excited actually, days gone by, years gone by, i'm just glad i'm still standing. And honestly, i don't even want to go to my own graduation ceremony if it's not for my mommy. Just kinda want to get that one pass by unnoticed as well. Family, friends, they are great and all, but being scrutinized for the big dumb question "what are you doing after graduation?" Grrrr... if you say "Oh i don't know" then they'll have this pitiful look on their faces, "aw... you poor thing, your future is going down the drain", or they'll just have this blank face, like they totally did not expect you to say that, "darn it, now i don't know what to say, or how to change the topic, cause the poor kid ain't got a clue when he/she is supposed to have his/her 5 year plan all figured out !"

Whatever, lady/man, things will work out, for better or worse, they always do. You probably are just looking for some nosy gossip material to talk about with your next friend anyways. So i'd be kind and give it to you - I am a senior in cheme who does not know what is going to happen after i graduate. and NO i am NOT worrying sick over it. And YES, i might not even end up using my degree. but DON'T you worry about me, or even try to put me down, cause (1) you can't, and (2) you will be talking about how good i have it soon and just be so jealous that you can burst into bubbles :)

I trimmed my hair today, it wasn't superbly done. but i guess it's tidied up a bit now. I have bangs again, sorta. They are long enough that i can clip it if i choose to. I am just happy i got rid of most of the split ends on the bottom.

Got my physicals today, had some blood work done, everything seems fine right now. Robert had me check out my thyroid, trying to find a cause for all this hair thinning for the past 6 months, and the excessive sleepiness. There got to be something, hair don't just start palling out. But it's really discouraging, cause from what we've been reading, it seems like 8 out of 10 doctors don't know how to correctly diagnose Thyroid problems. The blood work in order isn't really for the right indicators i wanted either, cause the mckinley doctors are just useless bubble gummer sometimes!

Oh well... no control or stat hw this week. so Horray for that. Jane jane and I have finished our Kinetics hw, so that's good. So now, i need to start work on my lab report, and study for 2 quizes next monday!

chao, now.

Catching up

I don't remember when was the last time I wrote anything on here. So since then, not much has happened, but maybe because school has started yet again, my days seem to start moving at a turtle speed! dragful!!! School days suck so much, although I do enjoy seeing all my friends again. Speaking of friends, I really liked my schedule last semester I got to see all my friends in all my classes, Jane, janejane, kalyn, chaowen, guanguan... It was cool to always keep in touch so easily.
On the 26th We had an apartment warming/JaneJane B day party! We took a short cut of serving frozen dumplings. Neither I or Jane has time to cook between school and unpacking. I still have so much crap cluttered in the bedroom. Most clothes I need to find place to put away. Everytime I tried to start it always ended in taking a nap or dinner or TV.
We have cable TV in the house now, so my time to study has increasingly decreased to nearly zero. Watching TV get boring really fast though...
I had an crazy episode with At&T, internet wasn't ready at the new apt. when I moved in as they promised, and they will not let me out of the contract either, plus they require me to enter in a new 12 months period to honor the old contract. It was just ridiculous, so I cancelled it, and got insight cable, it's working good so far. We also filed a complaint against At&t with the Better Business Bureau. It seems like AT&T is messing up all the good companies, they should just die die die.

Moving

We moved most of the stuff today to the new apt.
I am so beat! Still have to clean the old apt, and unpack...
My back is killing me right now. We were supposed to go to zach's b day thing, but we just couldn't put our party face on...

I cleaned the bathroom real good, scrubbed the floor, toilet and everything!

I'm not all that excited about school starting. I'm taking 17hrs this semester

FSHN 414
STAT 400
ChBE 430
ChBE 440
ChBE 452

All these chbe's are going to be so bad!!!!! Especiallly for somebody like me who hates it with a passion. I just want to get this over with! After this, I have western hist, senior design and some other 400 level chbe elective i need to take before i graduate. It seems like i will be able to get out of here on time after all... Well, that is to assume i didn't forget some minor classes that would just nail me in the butt at the end.

Mr. Larsen is not sure when he is graduating... May, Aug? Never? hahaha ok...maybe not never, but it all depends on how well things play out i guess. And we have agreed that after he gets a job and we are moving again, we WILL hire professional movers.

SERIOUSLY this moving shit is just... SHITY!

Marissa Cooper = Dumb Blonde

So Rob got me to watch "The O.C." I'm not that far into the series yet, but this Marissa person is already annoying the doo doo out of me... She is indecisive, gullible and a very bad actor!
Grrrr.... everytime she opens her mouth I just can't help but think the only stage she belongs to is the porn industry. The girl is good looking but has some serious bad faking! The most annoying thing is the storyline is not that bad, for the first season, so i heard... and i just hope some divine intervention can help me thru her bad acting and boring eye expression, oh wait a min, she got NONE!!!! dULL dULL dULL

Rewind

I've been a lazy ass lately on blogging. Mainly because i have been on mini trips and reg trips here and there. So now i got stuck in Rob's lab for a couple of hours, i'm gonna recount what's been happening since July 14th.

The July 15th weekend Rob and I drove to IN Raccoon State Recreational Area for camping. It was my second time tent camping since we got that 4 people tent way back in March... I remember i had a great time except the heat was very exhausting. The first night we were there, we had some loud obnoxious college people next to us, howling all night over nothing. We brought my labtop and watched a movie (I don't remember what) and some "House M.D." It was very buggy when it got dark. I saw lots of doggies. That was the most memorable part. I made friends with a Lab and a Weim. Awwww... they are the dog of my dream! Weims are just so gorgeous~ Labs are just the most personable dog alive. I'd love to have my own lab one day and take her swimming with me. They just love water like ME!

Funny incident, the place was called Raccoon SRA for a reason definitely. There were lots and lots of Raccoons there!

NOTE TO SELF-- they love mashmallows, better hide them out of those suckers' sight!

They stole all out mashmallows from the bag, and "nicely" left the empty bag for us! The second night, we lored they out with more yummy treats and took pictures of those little thiefs. It was great. We went to the beach many times because of the temperature was just boiling all your lives away! We also went on a couple hiking trails, good exercise! the only thing I need then is a dog with me!

The week after that, I was hanging out with lixuan swimming a lot. Almost everyday. UNtil conditions on long allowed, then we went to the mall and bought shoes for her bf, and me, supposively the shopping buddy, bought white shirts and some other items. I had fun. I missed spending time with her. I also invited jane jane to dinner one or two nights. that was great. I can always count on Jane Jane. I LOVE MY GIRLS! I would love to marry all of them if I could~

Coming the July 22nd weekend, we went camping again at state park near here, it was only 30 min away, comparing to the 2 hrs in IN. This place had a lake and some beach as well. It was a nicer weekend then, the temp was around 70 and most cloudy but no rain. so very lay back and relaxing! We cooked and outdoor, had Rob's famous thick burgers YUMMY! You gotta try it !
Hiking, swiiming, relaxing, watching stars, sitting my the lake watch duckies go by... just the two of us~ hehehe jealous?? hahaha I love my honey boo!

After the camping trip, it was basically packing and cooking for my bear. I kinda went over board when i went shoping for food, and end up cooking all afternoon and all night till like 2 am to finish my 10 some dishes, including shrimp, ribs and lots of goodies~ Rob end up freezing half of them because it was so much, he couldn't possibly eat all that in a short period of time.
And OF course MR larsen ate all the meat first! The spaghetti sauce was the first to go, see how good they are? You can still get the recipe on one of my blog entrees.

Come the 26th, we drove to the bloomington airport, and only to found out the directions were wrong, it led you to the airport property, NOT the terminal. It was just so stupid, what kind of direction was that! Anyway, i made it ok, said bye to my bear...

My dad came to see us on the 27th, he stayed for 10 days. I kept him company most of the days. We dogsat Coda again. I love him, he was adorable as usual. The poor thing just got his "hoo-hoo" removed, if you know what i mean. BUt he was still in good spirit~

ON the 29th weekend, my family and I went to Hamilton Pool Preserve 30mi outside austin TX, it was about 3 hours away. It was unbelievable. We jumped into water from big rocks surround the pool. I had a little accident doing that also, bruised 3 of my toes badly... I had trouble walking for a couple of day. I am fine now... The week following, we went car shopping for my mom. We got her a brandnew infiniti G35 black. It was a beaut~ I got to drive it most of the time i was in houston, it rode nicely. The normal shopping drill with my dad for his friends and their kids and wives...

My dad left on the 5th Sat morning. Mom, my cousin Jenny and their co-worker Dana and Charles and I went to lake conroe for a day, we rented a pontoon for 4 hours. It was so much fun. Oh yea, i forgot the mention we had 2 big seafood dinners when my dad was in town... along with jenny's 26th b day. YUMMY crabs shrimps squid clam fishies and more YUM~

After that I packed and went back into my bear's arms~ Aw.. what a summer...

I WANT MY SUMMER BACK!

Camping tomorrow

I've been swimming everyday lately, except today. My partner in crime has unwelcome guests in town. We went to the mall to look for sandals for his bf.
I bought several white shirts that were on sale. it was a happy day.
Rob and I bought stuff for our camping trip tomorrow. We'll be back Monday morning. It's gonna be great. We are going to a reservior in IN called Raccoon SRA, it's very close to turkey run, but I heard it's cheaper and better. So check it out if you are interested.

Yay

Motherhood

I wanna be a stay home mom. I have not only once said it to everybody that is somebody to me. 我总会挂在嘴边，the best thing that can happen to me right now is pregnancy. The most concern I have right now is the possibility of infertility. Maybebecause i have not been knocked out yet (not that i was wishing for it), but just the statistic from my past does not necessarily work in my advantage.

I have a confession to make - I am not a safty girl, never have been. The fact that teenage preganency has never hit my harbor is a miracle and a puzzle to me. 夜路走多了，总会遇到鬼吧！

I don't think i can be a completed woman without motherhood. It will be the big empty black hold in life, and i'll try to fill it up with as much stuff as i can. but the hole in my heart and my life will never be filled with the wrong thing. All the worldly things i can think of can only sustain temporary relieve.

That is my soul purpose. I know for certain, it will be that one thing everybody search for-across the globe-to hopefully save the regret and emptiness in your heart when you are laying in your deathbed. Whatever may your hole be, you better fill it before that moment comes. I have never felt so sure about anything like this one, I will be a mother. I long to be a complete woman with no regret and no return.

Burn baby Burn!

Your Element Is Fire

Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame. You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out. You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable. You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go. Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive. Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many.

There is NO wedding

So on Friday, Jane Jane, Lixuan and I went to David's Bridal and tried on wedding dresses! it was actually a lot of fun, i managed to bluff my way thru. here are a couple pictures we took...

Cold Sore

I have a painful cold sore on the corner of my mouth. It's just soooooooooooo annoying! And guess what? Cold sores are caused my herpes virus type I ! Doesn't that sound scary? Genital herpes are caused by herpes virus type II, so don't worry... But anyway, it is very contagious. If you have had cold sore before, you should have noticed that if you pick or pop it, it will spread around and cause more sores around the mouth! But the bad news is there is no cure for it. it will eventually goes away in 7-10 days. The Chinese wives' tales have always been to take vita B and vita C tablets 3 times a day, it will help to shorten the duration. I think it's probably helping the body to boost the immune system to fight the virus more efficient. In any case, I can't eat or talk very well these days, I might not pick up your calls, so email me!

Sorry Laaaa

RAT I AM

Though the Western rat is reviled as little more than a bottom-dwelling disease carrier, this animal is viewed much differently in the East. The Eastern rat is revered for its quick wits and its ability to accrue and hold on to items of value; rats are considered a symbol of good luck and wealth in both China and Japan. Clever and quick-witted, the Rat of the Chinese Zodiac is utterly disarming to boot. Possessed of excellent taste, this Sign flaunts its style at every turn. Its natural charm and sharp, funny demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone. The Rat likes to know who is on its side and will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection and generosity.

Behind that sweet smile, though, Rats are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas. This Sign is motivated by its own interests, which often include money; greed can become a problem if the Rat isn't careful to keep its priorities straight. This Sign's natural powers of charm and persuasion can definitely come in handy! Although they are often hoarders, Rats can be very generous to those in their "pack," namely friends and family members who have proven their loyalty. Others might perceive them as quick-tempered and sharp-tongued, but never boorish. Verbal jousting is a great pleasure for the Rat, a Sign that everyone around will quickly learn either to love or to hate.

Rats enjoy being on the outside looking in, as the outside affords a view into the inner workings of a system or situation. The Rat's keen mind always seeks out new knowledge, to be stored away for future use. This ever-curious Sign also welcomes challenges as a way to stay sharp. If boredom sets in the Rat is no fun at all, but that isn't likely; this Sign knows how to keep itself entertained.

A valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others above themselves, at least sometimes. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats could find true happiness.

The most compatible match for a Rat is the Dragon or the Monkey.

4th of July 2006

I was in Ludington, MI over the 4th of July weekend with Rob and his family. We stayed at Rob's cousin, Kelley's house. Kelley is the daughter of Tom's (Rob's father) little brother, Mike. She is married to Ted and have a son, Caleb and a new born daughter, Erica.

Her sister Kimberly have a daughter, Kalie and a new born son, Logan. Kalie is spending her summer with her grandparents, uncle Mike and aunt Jody.

Over the weekend I met Kelley and her husband Teb, her parents Mike and Jody, her kids Caleb and Erica, her niece Kalie. Rob's parents Tom and Carol, Carol's sister Jan, Jan's daughter and her kids Grace and Natelie. Jan's kittens Shadow and Maxine. Also Tom's other brother Steve and his wife and kid. Tom's cousin and her kids. Kelley's in-laws and their relatives.

In conclusion, lots of people who are Rob's relatives in some way or another.

I went the beach a LOT. I LOVE IT> michigan lake's water is very cold. But i still can't get enough of it. They have fine white sand beach that's just worth to die for. I wish i could live in ludington. It's a very nice little town. I went to the Fine Arts and Crafts Fair, and the town's 4th of July Parade. Played with kittens and kids. Had yummy ice cream from House of the Flavors, fresh water seafood from local eatery. Watched fireworks on the beach. It was a perfect weekend. I learned how to play poker with the guys...


And highlight of the weekend. I FLOODED kelley's bathroom...
I forgot to turn off the focet before i went in the shower. Uncle mike banned on the door when i had soap in my hair. I jumped out, there was water everywhere! I couldn't get dressed, because my clothes have gone soaked also. So i had just a towel around me and soap in my hair when he rushed in to save the situation. It was very embarrasing and hilarious at the same time. This great family tale will definitely stay around for a couple hundred years!

We drove back from Ludington, MI last night. It was about 5 hours drive, got to champaign around 4 in the morning. I had such a GREAT time. Loved the people, the place, the kids and everything else!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

"開朗, 活潑, 很愛玩, 但總有方法可以把功課寫完

很有北方人的豪爽, 不會把事情想的太複雜

直率, 沒心機

想說什麼就說什麼, 想愛就愛, 想恨就恨, 想做就做

很開放, 有時講的太多或太直接會被他給嚇到

但總會有什麼事會藏在心理, 只有在他沒意識到時才會被發現

他是個只聽很久以前的流行音樂的老女人

大家腦裡都會有一些瘋狂的 idea, 他是唯一一個會付諸於行動的人

跟他在一起, 可以毫無顧忌的玩的很瘋, 是個很容易就被氣氛帶起來的人

他是唯一讓我在喝醉後還會強迫我清醒的人

一起喝酒時會很快樂, 但好像總是得把他給架開不然就不知什麼會發生

只讓他當一次電燈泡, 現在就害我常常當電燈泡來報復的人

在我心情不好時, 我通常會保持沉默, 什麼都不會說, 他真的是很有辦法的跟我磨到我把事情說出來才罷休

在我目前這三年中最難過, 消極的學期時, 一直在我身邊支持著我, 幫我打氣, 強迫我吃東西, 不然我也不知我當時能不能撐過來, 可能我現在也不會在這裡打這些字, 而是在精神病院或是醫院了八

他可不只是我的最佳益友, 也是最佳損友八"
