It's really late at night and I'm studying for my last final. I am ecstatic about this. (at least that's what I'm trying to convince myself of) However, this is the second all-nighter I pull in a row. Which means that I won't have slept since Monday night. For this reason, I bought two ginormous Rockstars. and I have a lot of water with me to rehydrate and all that. I'm currently taking a break after studying for 7 hours straight or something like that. You know. Gotta give that brain of mine a rest.

I have been listening to "classical" music all effing night. I'm so tired of this. My poor ears are in pain from the earbuds. Is anyone sympathetic?

I'll be in LA soon at least. I can probably take the 4: 50 train tomorrow *ahem* today after the end of the final. If everything works out.

The caffeine in my system is making me clench my teeth, but not make the heavy feeling of my eyelids any better. I'm wary of drinking more Rockstar at the moment.

I also haven't eaten since 7:30. I'm getting really really hungry.

Thank God for the end of this quarter.

Rockstar has lotsa sugars.

I am also having lotsa sugars.

I am also needing lotsa sleep.

Why, hello insomniacs, may I join your numbers? We can all be sleepless together.

In 8 minutes I will go back to studying. I'm currently plotting out my answers to number 7. Only two more after that. Then I'll be finished and I can perhaps go sleep for awhile. Maybe like an hour or two.

Goddamn. Someone has food and I want it. Now in 5 minutes I will go back to studying.  Smells like nachos from Freebirds (4 minutes).

I still have not received my paycheck from Pita Pit. It should have arrived a long time ago. If I don't get that thing soon, I will be inclined to sue. I probably won't, but the point is that this is some major bullshit. That paycheck should be in my bank account right now. I think if I have time after my final, before I go catch the train, I will go and be like, "Bitches give me my fucking paycheck or prepare to be sued."

2 minutes.

The piece I am listening to is very beautiful. But I am just too tired of classical music to really appreciate it. Funny, because the class is called: Music History & Appreciation. How ironic... according to Alanis Morissette.

Bye.

It's absolutely the best way of getting anything done. Ever. I've been looking for the past hour and a half for a particular quote in a novel I'm writing an essay on and I could not, for the life of me, find the damn quote. So I said, "Okay. Maybe it's because I'm tired of doing this. So I went on Myspace to scratch my itch of procrastinating. I filled out a survey and even mentioned how absolutely angry I was about the fact that I didn't find the damn quote. The I submitted, closed the myspace page, closed Firefox, and went back to looking for the quote. And! Lo and behold, the quote was on the exact page I had turned to before scratching my myspace itch. Oh how I love the Eureka Method. It works for me every time.

Today has just been the best day. These things happened:

1) This guy that I accidentally really offended a couple of days ago, said he forgave me. Whether it was just a front or an honest statement, I don't really know. But just the fact that he accepted my most sincere apologies means a lot. I absolutely hate when my sincere and pride crushing apologies aren't taken to heart. Because the ones that are most painful for me are the ones that are most heartfelt.

2) I rocked both my Spanish and Japanese finals today. My Spanish final much less than my Japanese final since I didn't really go over the readings from the class because I thought my grammar would be more important and crucial. Therefore when I got to the composition part, I was a bit lost. BUT! Then, at 12 when I got to my Japanese final, I felt ready. SO ready for it and went into it with a cool head, trying not to rush through (which is what I did for the midterm and it went terribly) and just being very careful to read the actual directions (something I also did little of on the midterm). There were only two question that had me HONESTLY stumped. One was writing a kanji for north (minami) and I couldn't for the life of me remember the character for it. So I just wrote down the one I was 95% sure was for west (nishi). I mean, I had an idea of the different symbols that were in the kanji, just not the details of HOW exactly I was to draw it. At this moment, I still don't remember how to draw it. Not that I'm going to go check. Anyway, there was also another one in the vocab section where I couldn't remember what the word for medicine was (kusuri) so I don't even remember what I answered for that one. Other than those two questions, I'm pretty sure I got just about everything right.

3) I got my thesis approved for my paper (mentioned in #1) from my TA. He said I have a strong thesis and I am just very glad that he liked it because it was the only really insightful thing that I could think about for this extremely complex novel. I'm still having trouble getting the grip of it. Anyway. That was excellent so I got right to work in the library right after my Japanese final and started looking for evidence to support my "strong thesis." Then I got really tired of being inside, since I knew that the day was gorgeous outside. So I went outside to go continue doing that search for quotes. And then after I'd found about three or four more, I decided to take a nap. Right there, in the grass in the bright sun. It was also amazing. I awoke to the sounds of Daft Punk in my ears and. OH GOD it was epic.

And that was exactly what made my day. Now I happily go back to work after sharing with the blogosphere...if anyone actually reads this blog...

   Today is the day I'm supposed to leave for LA after being here in SB for a full three weeks+ without going home. The quarter ended for me yesterday at around 10-ish and I celebrated by eating breakfast at Ortega. And then I did absolutely nothing productive. And I took a nap for 6 hours...It was amazing. Is it possible to have an orgasmic nap? Because that's about how amazing it was.
   Anyway, Jennifer, my ride, is taking awhile for us to be able to leave and I am sad. I want to go home and eat excellent food again. I miss fresh sushi. Hell, I miss actual sushi. Here at the dining commons they serve these icky things called California Club Rolls. Now, at first this sounds amazing because it says "California" and "Roll." And then you see that there's an extra word: "Club." You first think it's a mistake, but it's not. It means that the roll is like club sandwich...know why? Because it has bacon in it. Yup, that's right...it has bacon... and it's a California Roll. It's a club sandwich and a California Roll. And it's disgusting. Then there's the Teriyaki Roll....it's disgusting...Then there's the Tempura Roll....it's also disgusting. Then they have this one roll that has, like, sun-dried tomatoes and cream cheese in it. I didn't even try it. It even sounds disgusting.  This is why I miss Sawtelle Blvd. Japanese places owned by actual Japanese people who make actual sushi.
  I also miss my mom's cooking. A LOT.
  And Indian food.
  And my friends.
  And...................................................................................................... I can't think of anything else at the moment. But I know that I miss more things about home.
  I'm really hungry. But Kaitlyn (my roommate) and I finished the last of the food a couple of days ago. Now all I have is a giant package of chopsticks. I can't even remember why I bought them in the first place. Hmmm....maybe I have some Raisinets left.

  I really want to go to some concerts. I sort of went to one last night. It was a live performance on KCSB and since I have friends in high places (Actually it's just that Jennifer and her friend are on KJUC getting trained for KCSB) and we got to sit in on the show. It was excellent. I'm going to add the radio show as a friend on Myspace. It's called 5..4..3..2..fun. Yay Josh. Anyway, Fishboy made me realize that I haven't gone to a concert in the longest time and that I need to go. hehe. I added Fishboy as a friend on Myspace already. Yay Fishboy.

That's all.
