whoa, a whirlwind of a weekend...i'm exhausted, relieved, saddened, discouraged, and happy all at once. so to start...friday, worked even tho i should've studied. friday nite, tried to study, but lots of things were on my mind...ok, ONE in particular, but i talked to that person and i'm at ease now. so things are pretty much all good there. saturday, had practice. this was one saturday we were ALL there. we haven't all been there in a looonnnggg time. it felt good to be a "whole" again. i miss praying, sharing, and catching up with them. the singing/playing was fun too =) it's gonna be weird w/o jay and hil now. first chris left, then 'manda, then jamz, now jay and hil. eeshhh...such a weird feeling. but we're getting one awesome chick and hopefully one pretty cool dude too [crossing fingers...err, i mean, praying to God that it works out]! after that, went to jaime and nicholas lim's bday bash. they're so cute =) and i overloaded jayden on jello...ok, not overloaded, SPOILED him...heeheehee...then went to bayfair to pick something up for anna...geez, hecka ghetto...should've brot my vest and a piece w/ me! hahahahhaa. then picked up the halls and went to sf to eat at joe's crab shack. "studied" inbetween the eating/waiting. yum, yum, yum. good food, music, fun...ahhhh! then went to ghiradelli square for dessert. did i mention how i hate people? especially pushy old white women who think they're superior to everyone else and treat you like crap. let's just say she dished some and i shoved it back in her face =P sunday, had church then practice for PDL sunday...rushed home and went to michael w. smith/third day concert. third day is definetly better live. so is smitty...mmmm =) sucha cutie. he was so awesome that nite...very inspiring and uplifting. max lucado was there also. he gave short lil devotionals that were great. went w/ mom, val, erica, hil, mark, mark's co-worker and his wife. saw christine, randy, amily, branny, and brent there too. lotsa lotsa fun. and our seats were great. afterwards, val was hungry so we went to ranch 99 for noodles or jook. we were following mark, but he had no idea where he was going. drove in circles. NEVER FOLLOW A COP! hahahahhahaha! we eventually got there. went home and stayed up till 3 studying for my final. i know i probably shouldn't have gone to the concert, but i'm glad i did. i needed a break from the stress and it wasn't JUST a break, it was a...ahhh...a rejuvinating experience that was greatly needed.

slept for 4 hours, went to school for my final and my teacher was late. we were sitting there going, okkk...she threatens us if we don't show on time, she'll lock us out and fail us, yet she's late. not sure how i did. i did go blank on a few things but *shrug* whatever. went home to work on my portfolio and study for my other 2 finals. was also working on stuff for ria foundation, and i felt bad about missing a meeting...*ai-yah* went to bed again at 3 and got 4 hours of sleep. critique went well...overall my teacher seemed to like my painting. then speech was a joke. i can't believe it. *shakes head* i better be getting an a out of the class too. then came home to finish my portfolio for graphics. and went to that critique. and now, IT'S OVER!!!!!!! YEAAAA!!!!
