Hey guys,
in case you’re out there, I am moving to a new blog on posterous.com!
http://7lotus.posterous.com/

Yes, it’s quite empty there. But I really prefer posterous’ flexibility and unique layouts. This place won’t be updated anymore but I’ll leave it as it is right now.

Bye!

mysterious textbooks

tangerinesweet — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 01:02:50 +0000

In preparation for the upcoming semester, I’ve purchased three textbooks online from ebay and amazon while still looking for one more.
These textbooks are so freakin’ expensive!! On these books, I’ve spent well over $200 bucks. I still need one more book but I’m waitlisted in that class, now I really don’t know what to do. That book is gonna cost me at least another 60 bucks. Ouch.

So far, I’ve received all of the books. They’re so big. *_* I didn’t really want to look through them because they scare me already. I briefly looked over my toxicology textbook. OMG. Is it written in English? It’s like one those really deep/scientific/complicated kind of things. I really can’t see myself learning all of that!
Well….I guess I felt that way about my ochem textbook, too. But it wasn’t so bad.
But it’s upper division stuff…I’m scared. arghhhhhh…..!!

SMTOWN live in LA

tangerinesweet — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 23:58:53 +0000

So….today I just bought my ticket to this event
ugh. Can’t believe myself. I pretty much used up all my savings on the ticket.
It’s the most expensive one but it’s a GREAT seat.
Now I’ve got a dilemma. Should I go or resell it?
My mom’s kinda against me going to the concert and I wish she can pay for my ticket.
If I do go, most likely I’ll be driving down to LA.
It really isn’t that bad…like six hours tops. And as for overnight stay, I wonder if I can crash one of my friend’s place, but I don’t know anyone that’s currently down there; they’re all back at home, I think.

what to do???

the official summer break

tangerinesweet — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 05:53:24 +0000

Yeah. Minus that 6 weeks of my summer ruined by physics, I have roughly a month left.
I’m really enjoying summer break right now. It feels good to recharge a bit before heading into the new semester which is the end of August.
Right now, I’ve been exercising daily and trying to lose weight.
Not really going anywhere but I like it at home so whatever.
Watching Kdrama! Sadly, the only one that looks good right now is “My Girlfriend is a Gumiho” starring Lee Seung Gi and Shin Min Ah. Swear, it’s so adorable! Brought to you by the Hong sisters, the writers of hits like “You’re Beautiful” and “My Girl”

fuckin’ physics

tangerinesweet — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 04:43:05 +0000

I fuckin’ hate physics. Can’t believe I have to endure six weeks of crap during the summer.
Thank goodness I only have four more days left.
I just wanna get this shit over with.

lost

tangerinesweet — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 06:45:19 +0000

In my own thoughts, misery, apathy…

I feel very empty. When I try to feel, there’s nothing. Maybe there is…a black hole, sucking everything in. Happiness in its fleeting moments, misery is the uninvited guest.

Look at my surrounding, everyone is empty in their own way. The days spent in repetition, monotone, and apathy. I want to escape, somewhere big enough to engulf the emptiness in me.

summer

tangerinesweet — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:07:12 +0000

So I finally turned 20 last month.
Spring quarter ended on an all-time low note.
Summer session started. I’m doing physics right now. Not so fun, but I’m working on that. (NOT.)
four-day weekend was awesome. Got my lost sleep back.

Nothing much happening right now except I’m very sleep-deprived on school days. I’ll be catching up on my sleep now.

Two more weeks

tangerinesweet — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 19:37:37 +0000

Two more weeks of Spring Quarter then I’ll have my finals & doneeeee!
Actually, I’ll probably take a summer class. But still, I can’t believe I’ve been doing almost a year of Ochem. I feel so accomplished, honestly. Sadly, the last lab exam of my “ochem career” didn’t go so well and I made so many mistakes. *sighs*
Last midterm next week. I want to do well, T_T But it’s so difficult! All the reactions are so hard to understand. It’s even more difficult to put everything together and do synthesis. That just drives me crazy. But my prof already made it clear that synthesis will be the focus of the midterm because it’s supposed to wrap up what we’ve already learned.

On the other hand, my mom’s birthday is this sunday. Hmmmm…gotta go get a cake.

3-day weekend!

tangerinesweet — Mon, 31 May 2010 02:29:50 +0000

Yep…the Memorial Day weekend~
This is the first and only 3-day weekend in Spring Quarter, oh, how I miss winter quarter where I literally had 3-day weekend like every other week!
This friday was also the last day of my semester-long English writing class. No more waking up early on Friday morning and yawning all throughout the class. Soooo glad it’s over, now I hope I can get an A!

After class on Friday, I drove to get myself a viet sandwich. This is the typical reward that I give to myself after a stressful week (one that’s packed w/ assignments & exams). I did really good on my bio exam which is more or less a miracle since I only started studying on wednesday for the exam on thursday. To be honest, I don’t quite find the material itself interesting, but I pushed myself to memorize my notes, word by word.
I got home quite early after class. My grandma cooked herbal chicken for me. So nice of her, supposedly it’s a good energy boost. Yummmmmm.

On saturday morning, I went w/ my sister to her dentist appointment. Since I didn’t have breakfast, I got myself yet another viet sandwich. Ahhhhh~life’s so good. I’m such a food lover. Oh, I also got Jamba Juice after that. I had lunch at home and was so fulllll. I ended up taking a nap for like four hours right afterwards. This is how sleep-deprived I was the whole week. T^T

I feel like I gained weight…a lot. LOL. I love to eat & to sleep!!

Am I ready?

tangerinesweet — Sat, 22 May 2010 02:19:24 +0000

hm. so before I start talking about serious stuff. I just wanna say that PROSECUTOR PRINCESS is like golden! It ended this week which made me sad because I’ve been addicted to it since episode two. I even started live-streaming it for episode 13~16. It’s very underrated ratings-wise, but it’s popular online. A totally buzz-worthy drama!
On a brighter side, I have more time to myself now since I won’t be following any more dramas.

=====
anyways, back to the topic.
June 1st is approaching and I need to make my decision within the next week.
This college thing has like a tremendous impact on my future, I hope I can make the right choice, for myself and not anyone else.
