We went to the Deyoung in hopes of seeing the museum BUT ALAS they were unexpectedly closed to..."nonstudents". SO IT WAS JUST A BUNCH OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS IN THERE WITH ALL THEIR CHAPERONES. If we had just shuffled in with one of the groups...we probably could have gone in hahahaa...

H&M! WE WENT THERE INSTEAD OF GOING TO SEE THE BLACK SWAN.


AND THEN WE WENT BACK. AND WE BOTH TOTALLY FELL ASLEEP ON BART. I HAD A DREAM. I WAS STILL ON BART (AWAKE) BUT THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH PEOPLE I KNEW, BUT THEY WERE IN THE "ROLES" OF THE TYPICAL PEOPLE I SEE ON BART (THE WORKING PROFESSIONALS, THE SCHOOL DITCHERS, THE COLLEGE STUDENTS, THE CRAZIES, THE LADIES WITH THEIR KINDLES, ECT). THE ONE I REMEMBER MOST VIVIDLY WAS ELLIOT, WHO WAS DOING HIS O___O FACE (REMEMBER PING PONG WITH JISOO AND HIM). WHEN I "SAW" IT, I LAUGHED IN MY SLEEP AND I WOKE MYSELF UP. (I HAVE A HABIT OF DOING THIS)

MY MOM PICKED US UP FROM THE STATION. OLIVIA TALKED NONSTOP (AS SHE ALWAYS DOES AROUND GUESTS) UNTIL LIKE...MIDNIGHT. WE HAD HAAGENDAAZ AND USED THE LEG/FOOT MASSAGE MACHINE. THEN WE WENT UPSTAIRS TO TALK ABOUT LIFE. AND BOYS. MOSTLY BOYS. HURRRRHUR

IN THE MORNING WE ATTEMPTED EGGS.

WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THE EGGS. (BUT THEY TASTED GOOD)

AND THEN WE WENT (I DROVE) TO GO SEE TANGLED AND GET CREPES! I WAS DUMB AND WAS LIKE LETS BUY TICKETS FIRST AND THEN LETS GET CREPES AND COME BACK. BUT IT WAS A TUESDAY MORNING. WHEN EVERYONE WAS STILL IN SCHOOL. SO OF COURSEEE IT WAS TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. WASTED 30 MINUTES AND WE HAD TO RUSH FOR CREPES (WHICH WERE STILL GOOD). LUCKILY WE WEREN'T LATE FOR THE MOVIE WOOOOOOOO. MADE ME CRY A SECOND TIME. SIIIIIIGH (of contentment) THEN I SENT HER HOME. T'WAS A GOOD TIME.

HAD LAST KENDO PRACTICE. MAKINO SENSEI AND SAN WERE THERE AND WE...HAD A PSEUDO TOURNAMENT. TONY AND GRACE TIED FOR FIRST PLACE SO MAKINO SENSEI HAD THEM DECIDE IT THROUGH ROCK PAPER SCISSORS. AND HE TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO US. HE WAS REALLY HAPPY WHEN WE GAVE HIM HIS BELATED BIRTHDAY CARD (FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN HIM LAUGH!). HE LIKED MY KIAI.

OHAIGRACE

THEN WE ALL WENT TO BCAF/1919, WHERE WE FOUND OUT THAT I HAD PREMIER. SO I SWIPED EVERYONE IN. AND TONY (OUR CAPTAIN) USED...6 SWIPES. ALL ON PANINIS. LOLOLOLOLOL


I LOVE MY KENDO TEAM

We had a party for the kendo team on Saturday after the Luna Sea concert!
```
LUNA SEA

WENT WITH VI-AHN. PARTNERED WITH TOMO (SHE'S AWESOME).

IT WAS GLORIOUS.































THEY PLAYED ALL MY FAVORITES (EXCEPT FOR LOVE SONG ;__;). INORAN SAW TOMO AND I JUMPING WAAAY TO THE SIDE AND HE POINTED AT US BOHOHOHOHO. SUGIZO IS STILL THE BEST AT VIOLIN. J LOOKS KOREAN NOW. AND RYUICHI IS NO LONGER YOUNG. BUT HIS VOICE IS STILL AMAZING. SIGHHH IT WAS A GOOD NIGHT.
```````````````


ALICE COLTRAINE TRIBUTE CONCERT

T'was a spur of the moment decision! I got free tickets from DESMA and decided to go (even though I had a final that week durhuhuhuhu)

It was lightly raining when I left, but by the time I reached Wooden, it was pouring. Running around totally alone in the square in front of Janss Steps in the pouring rain...is quite the experience haha. I ended up totally soaked. I gave my two extra tickets to a couple who left their's at home.



THE FIRST HALF SOUNDED SO GOOD THAT IT PUT ME TO SLEEP. I have a problem of falling asleep...ESPECIALLY during concerts...I was falling in and out of sleep-I'd wake up when everyone started clapping and stayed awake through...5 minutes of the first bit of the song/performance AND THEN I'D WAKE UP AGAIN FROM THE CLAPPING. BUT I WAS AWAKE DURING THE SECOND HALF.(which was amazing)


I WROTE LETTERS FOR A DAY AND I FOUND MY ALPACA STICKERS FROM JAPAN. ON MY PHONE THEY GOOOOO



```


STUDYING FOR ANTHRO33 WITH VRINDA AND MAIKO. WE STUDIED HARD ALL NIGHT (AND GOT RENDEZVOUS FOR THE FIRST TIME)

CHRISTIAN FELL ASLEEP ON JUSTIN'S BED. AGAIN. (HE FALLS ASLEEP ON EVERYONE'S BED BUT HIS OWN)

LAST MEAL AT UCLA

LEFT THE NEXT DAY WITH EDY! MY COUSIN DROVE US TO THE AIRPORT. I FOUND OUT THAT MY FLIGHT WAS REVERSE BOOKED. OH, GOOD TIMES.

Disconnection in 3....2....

and 1.

Its all out in the open. Its kind of amazing what pressure does to people and causes them to act like that. How childish. I don't regret anything. Maybe some things. But I'm glad with the outcome. I've been childish and selfish but I was pushed to it. Its always really high stress isn't it? And the fact that I can't keep my mouth shut or censor what I think or say. Which could be a problem when it hurts people, but I don't want to forget. I need to look back and learn.

Yes, I've made mistakes. Yes, I've done things I shouldn't have done. Yes, I didn't act in a perfect way, that I did at some points stoop to a lower level than how I usually hold myself, but I don't regret anything. It was just a mistake from the beginning. I should have read the signs and acted on them faster. Alas, I guess this can only be turned into a learning experience.


It's time to start over.

And honestly, that is what I've been needing for the time I've been here.

I say that as if everything is wrong, and its not. Just some parts. I'll just start over in those parts. Everything else I did before worked out well and I am happy doing them so I'm going to let them be.

Just be above it all and don't sink to that level.


Why let myself get bogged down by this? Why surround myself with people that have different values and goals (or no goals at all) when there are so many inspired and energetic people out there? Why limit myself?
