Days

I took my Philosophy final, I felt pretty confident when I walked into class. I was actually excited to see what questions there where and wondered if I would be able to answer them with ease. I wish semesters lasted as long as a summer session. I have July 27th-Aug 14th freeee, weeeee! I feel like I actually learned a few things from this class, but I'm sure I have felt this before and come three years later I just remember bits and pieces that are probably incorrect. I am pretty sure I got a B in the class. I seem to be an average student. It is unfortunate because I am most positive if I put a little bit more effort I would be able to get a better grade. What is going to happen when I start taking classes that will be difficult for me? I have to realize that I WILL HAVE TO take time from doing unproductive things and study, study until my eyes burn and my mind is clusterfucked.

 Anyway, I really enjoyed my Philosophy class, Dr. King (hahahaha) is an awesome teacher with a great personality and sense of humor. I would really love to have a beer/coffee with her and have her enlighten me with her knowledge. I have my schedule for Fall and I am FINALLY taking a dreaded math class. I also got Political Science (blah, ugh, what the f) and an online Intro to Psych class. I sure do love me them online courses, yeh?

I also have three classes wait listed, Cinema, Film Photography, and Communication Studies. I am aiming for the Cinema class because it would work perfectly with my schedule, my second choice is Photography because I sure miss the darkroom and I would really like to learn the technical aspects of something I really enjoy doing. The issue with a photo class right now is funds, I don't think I have the funds and I don't qualify for Financial Aid right now. The third option, Communication Studies, would require a large time gap, I don't want to drive to Rancho twice in a day and I sure as hell don't know what I'd do with so much time. Maybe I should just take three classes, who knows if I am truly ready for a full load, but sometimes I tell myself that I just need to 'do it'.

 Tomorrow is the funeral, I wonder how it's gonna be. It is going to be a catholic mass, I am kind of interested because I never really went to church. My parents are going too. I wonder how A is truly feeling...

Things have been a little different lately... A's dad was diagnosed with ALS last year and it progressed very quickly and he passed away Thursday morning. I can't wrap my head around the fact that my boyfriend lost his father, it is really heart breaking. It is especially heart breaking when A tells me that he misses his papa. I'm just worried because A tends to get really depressed and he doesn't vent or show any emotions..
Anyway, these pictures were taken on the Fourth of July, the only fireworks I bought myself some Morning Glory's and  Piccolo Pete's for A, them shit cost me fifteen dollars, ridiculous. 
I was excited to finally use my camera and the sparklers to do this light writing nonsense.
I feel kind of guilty because I've been missing a lot of class, but I'm keeping up with the reading. There really isn't any homework, the syllabus mentions pop quizzes, but I'm not too sure she will do any of that. I just have a few more weeks left, can't miss anymore. No more excuses.

School is finally over for the spring semester and I am ecstatic to say the least. I will be on break until June 6th, not that I really had a lot to do, but it's comforting to know I can lounge without having homework on the back of my mind. I have waitlisted for a few classes, I hope I can get into one of them and I have Intro to Philosophy which is another retake, but only this time it's a class I withdrew as opposed to failing it. I'm just trying to get my GPA up. I hope when it comes to transferring they will see my horrible grades then a sudden spike in hopefully A's and B's and there is always academic renewal. We'll see, I have a long way for this journey.

I got these two things from Etsy.com, this is actually my first time purchasing from Etsy. Sometimes a lot of the things seem to pricey for me or it somewhat inspires me to make something similar on my own. I don't know, I don't really have a creative bone in my body. I follow a few blogs and I just get amazed at how creative some of these bloggers are, some are even able to make a living from their blogging, pretty amazing.

On a different note, I am so happy to say that school is almost over, I have about three weeks. Spring semester has been too long I've been taking these classes since January. I spoke to my counselor this past Tuesday and let's just say it has left me feeling extremely overwhelmed and excited, to say the least. I think what overwhelms me is the fact that the drive has come far too late for me. Is it okay to say better late than never in situations like mine or am I just excusing my past behavior?

Here is an old song I used to be in love with. I heard this song through an ex-boyfriend in 2004. He let me borrow this old RCA MP3 player that had Spoon, The Breeders, Lou Reed, and I want to say Sonic Youth's Sister, I don't remember. He introduced me to a lot of the music I now listen to which is funny because he doesn't even to listen to anything of the sort anymore. Anyway, here is the song:

I got these babies at Target for two dollars. Aren't they cute? I can't wait to have a bookshelf, they will most definitely be adorning them.

Last Thursday I had an itch to leave my house because I stay home or at least in the Inland Empire for most of my days. I decided to go to Wurstküche and IKEA with A. I bought these curtains for like $15.00, I think they are so cute. My ugly blinds are no longer visible! I also bought other miscellaneous items like knives for my fruits and vegetables and a key dish so I won't misplace my keys anymore.

Wurstküche is in Little Tokyo and it is delicious! We found parking pretty easily AND it was free! That place is seriously like Club Hotdog the music is bumping, perfect music for a workout. They have a few veggie hot dogs, I got the Vegetarian Smoked Apple Sage - (apples, yukon potatoes & rubbed sage) and I had me an Affligem Noel, that beer was delicious. Their Belgium fries are DELICIOUS!!! The food is like, the-last-day-of-your-life food.
