STARBUCKS BARISTAS + Woodin anecdote
One of the things I was always jealous of was those people who walk into Starbucks and the barista asks, “the usual?”
Well, it’s not always like that. Usually its, “Venti Decaf?” or “Grande Americano?” or the barista will ask the customer about something that happened in the past because they talk about their lives to each other in the brief minutes they...

I'm a complainer...
I complain way too much through almost every form of communication, especially this blog. But I realize that I am very lucky.
I have a home to live in, food to eat, parents who love me, friends who support me, teachers who educate me….
This post is kind of late but I think it’s fitting as the Haiti disaster begins to disappear from the front pages of the news. It’s sad how...
UGH
I HAVE TO GO TO 5 AM MORNING PRACTICE TOMORROW OR ILL GET KICKED OFF
I WAS THINKING OF ALL THE NEGATIVE REPERCUSSIONS OF GOING TO PRACTICE:
Freezing my ass off in the car at 4:40 AM
Freezing my ass off whilst half-naked in the water at 5 AM
Having to sleep early (and forgoing lots of other work I could be doing)
Being tired as hell tomorrow
Breaking my 5 day no-caffeine streak
Falling...
our time together is just never quite enough.
Tumblr is weird.

Eight-hour speech practice?
Today, Jason, Carl, and Andrew came over for what turned out to be an EIGHT hour speech practice. We freakin did EVERYTHING! LOL Jason and I fine-tuned our duo. Carl and I picked up a duo. Jason cut and choreographed an HI. Andrew and I worked on PF….man so productive and fun!
You know you love an activity when you can practice for eight hours without realizing it.
A shitty week...
…isn’t shitty if it ends on a high note.

Mind Ramble of 1/20/10
First day of finals and the beginning to the end of the middle of the year!! This year has really gone by fast and I’m so ready for this week to just END NOW.
Today, I took my APUSH final. It was not too bad but it was long and I got kinda tired (thank you Starbucks VIA for saving my life yet again). We did an FRQ (which I think I did pretty well on) and a 90 question multiple choice...
DUDE
I was SO productive today until the outcome of the election. Now, all I can think about is how fucked we are.

Martha Coakley
Today’s election confirmed most of our fears: the Democrats’ reign in Washington will soon be over. As midterm elections near, the Democrats will be going up to the chopping block.
For us, even filling Ted Kennedy’s seat was hard. What the hell? And in Massachusetts? Obama won by over 25% in 2008, and Martha had a tremendous lead just a few weeks ago. And on top of that, in...

Reminiscing
So to avoid studying for finals (I am very bad), I found a 2 feet high stack of work from Sophomore year, and decided to file it (I bought these awesome filing tubs you’d use for extemp or policy to file all my shit). So I’m basically going through every page of work and all these memories of Sophomore year came pouring back! Cordero, AP Bio….man. I loved that year hahahaha,...
LOGAN
Ugh I really wish we went to Logan. Here I am, on a Sunday night, frantically searching for signs of results from Facebook, to JOT, to FOL. I’m such a speech nerd….AND I REALLY WISH WE WENT :(

Friday ramble.
Jason and I made some revolutionary changes over the past week to our duo, but we were wary of showing these changes to the class. The thing about Arcadia is that most people have a hard time accepting the fact that most duos are dramatic, especially ones that do well, and our class didn’t respond well to the first version of our duo (albeit our mild success). It sucks when you work hours...

I am Andrew Chang’s personal trainer while he will be my LD Coach.
Yay for trades! LOL

Spring Debate
I had a deep hatred for Parli for about a year until today! Parli is actually really fun and I think I got better at impromptu speaking. It was so entertaining, especially those rounds where you know that no matter what you say, you will win (hence, existence K?). And I’m over the results…stupid round 5 judge…even though I really wanted to have matching first place trophies with...
I saw
Mary Poppins at the Ahmanson Theatre today, and it was so good! I sat in the second row LOL I could reach out and touch the orchestra conductor’s head…and dude, Mary Poppins freaking flew over the audience and this dude tap danced upside down on the stage ceiling. Shows are very awesomesauce.
Oh dude…something else I noticed. The people on stage have microphones intertwined in...

Mind-Ramble of the Week
This post is like a non-stop ramble, but it’s good because I haven’t blogged in a while.
This week has been pretty good! I have been finishing my HW super early everyday, and sleeping at a good hour, while having lots of fun! It doesn’t feel like finals is looming around the corner….which is kinda bad but whatever! I’ll feel the pain next week. I seriously have 4...
