I'M ON MY WAY BACK... TO BRENTWOOD... (LITERALLY)

haha, this is GREAT! i'm literally on my way back to antioch. that's right, i'm on the train and i'm using their wireless internet access. this is SO cool, even though they say that it's only going to be free the first 3 months and it's only available on this one car on the train.

of course, we had to wait over an hour for the train to get to corcoran...

but i had a good day today at school with mom. the kids are absolutely hilarious and i'll have to tell you all about it at a later time. anyways, i'm going to take advantage of the train's wireless access and plug-in while i can...

PORTERVILLE COLLEGE

i am sitting here in precalculus not paying attention to anything that's going on other than wondering when vira's going to get here, or if she's coming today... all the way here to see her and i might not even get to.

i saw victoria and talked to her a bit this morning. i shall go back to eat some of her yummy breakfast. it's the best!

i also saw henry already and i'm supposed to see him again around 9am. i brought my camera. i am ready.

mr. osborne is giving a talk today at noon. i shall try to make it.

we shall see who else i see today...


by the way, remind me to tell you all about my recent incidences... missing the train... getting my check card stolen. i'm just waiting for the third bad thing to happen...

HAPPY EASTER!?

yes, today is easter, but i also found out that my cute little keychain check card was stolen and used at dominos not once, but twice, and took place two days in a row. so now that i have called and cancelled it, and vicky has been a sweetheart, i have just the time waiting for five business days to pass for it to get here...

maybe it'll be good not being able to spend money for a few days...

oh yeah, and happy easter all!

DON'T SAY I NEVER GAVE YOU ANYTHING...

and with that, she let us out of class...

DANG THAT WAS HARD!

that was a hard one. i dont know if ill get over it.

the oocyte, oocyte, polar body, egg didnt help me any.

MY WEEKEND THUS FAR...

i have finished my commitment for my careers class which was to finish reading the montessori method by maria montessori, which was an awesome book. now i need to dedicate much of my waking hours before tuesday to studying for my 302 exam on tuesday. 5 lectures, and i only feel comfortable with one including testes determining factor (tdf) and sex determining region of the Y chromosome (sry), 5-? reductase deficiency, androgen insensitivity syndrome, klinefelter's, and INAH3 and homosexuality... dang, i still need to study lots of stuff...

also, i went to the men's lacrosse game yesterday and actually stayed for the whole time. the wind was blowing quite a bit, but other than that, it was pretty nice outside. not much sun, but nice still... they were playing oregon and beat them 16-6, so it was a pretty exciting game and all.

MY CAREER PATH

according to my spirits, those that are watching over me, my career path in to work with 7th and 8th graders as a counselor, one that they make appointments with either at some large school or facility such as that for troubled kids. the spirit communications demo channeler saw me making good money, around $70k, and being able to really help these kids who are facing many changes in their lives in becoming adults yet wanting to stay kids. i should use a more holistic approach to help them as opposed to a more traditional approach, but i am really able to reach them. while this is perhaps what i am meant to do, she reminded me that i must not forget that i still have choice and free will. it's just interesting how school counselor is something that i've actually been thinking about doing since i like kids and i enjoy helping people.

I HATE YOU SSU

have i mentioned how sucky this school is?

so, since i heard back from both mom and dad that they're going to come to the psych department's graduation banquet, i wanted to get my money turned in today, since the cutoff date for the $15 tickets is on sunday. so, i walked over to the atm to get some money out and then went over to psych department. they wouldn't take my money since psi chi is in charge of it, and suggested that i mail it and get a postmark. so, since i only had one envelope with me, i walked over to the bookstore to get another one and on my way out, i realized that i probably shouldn't send cash, even though it was only going to the school through the post office on campus, so i stopped by us bank to see if i could purchase a money order, but then they told me that they only sell money orders if you have an account with them. so then i walked back over to the atm to put the money back into my account. i then walked all the way back to my apartment to get a check and fill out my envelopes and when i was finished, i had to again walk back over to the post office to have them postmark and mail it. oh, and perhaps i should mention that all during this time it was raining outside! grrrrr!!! this campus should be more user friendly!

MY AURA HEALING

OMG! i went to the clairvoyance and aura reading demo tonight and it was awesome. the berkeley institute of santa rosa was here and we each got an aura healing and a reading of a few of our past lives. plus, we did a couple of exercises after pairing up with the psychics. for my aura healing, i was paired up with a woman named cinnamon, who felt that i was very intuitive, and releasing lots of energy. i then paired up with her when we learned how to ground and unground ourselves. i then paired up with a man named merrill, who used his chakras to read my aura and tell me about my past lives. he could see a yellowish green layer. in my first past life i was a very happy woman. i had a husband and a family and lived in the 13th or 14th century. i was happy because of my family and my family was very important to me. in another of my lives i was a man who was on a barge or a raft or something. i had lots of time for contemplation and thinking, but not much time to actually do much. i spent a lot of time in my work and it wasn't something that i really wanted to do but just did. he could see some kind of art too. in the third past life i was a woman who was helping to dig a cellar to store foods and be a place for protection for coming storms and i had a family. his suggestion was that from a meditation base i write down some spiritual goals, three or four of them.

let me reiterate that this was an awesome experience that has opened my eyes and filled me with energy.

EVERYONE THINKS I'M CRAZY

perhaps my actions have reinforced this viewpoint? judge for yourself...

last night i went to an animal communications demo in the pub that was part of the psychics on campus this week. marta williams was there doing demos and since there were only six of us that went, she did a demo for each of us. i had her communicate with my dog lassie and by giving her a description, she was able to tell me that lassie likes to bark a lot and act crazy and that she has arthritis for which she suggested giving her a raw food diet. she also told me that she got the feeling that she really likes seeing me above all other people. she then asked her why she likes to go between my legs and was told that it's a fun game that i'm the only one who will with her. so hey, i was pretty convinced, even though also skeptic at the same time...

today we had a pizza party for anthro club. i took my camera of course and i was talking to a girl from class, who happens to remind me of my friend angelica. well, we somehow got to talking about taking pictures of feet and so she let me take a picture of her feet and then i went around and asked people in the room if i could take a picture of their feet. okay, so i got some pretty weird looks and karin even wanted to know if i had a foot fetish, but i assured her i don't. but hey, they let me take pictures of her feet and even harry let me take a picture of his feet...

tonight i'm going to the clairvoyance and aura reading demo. oooooo!

finally, i wanted to dress up like a leprechaun for st. paddy's day, but didn't get a chance, but i was teasing wendy saying that i was going to go around jumping up and down saying "I'M A LEPRECHAUN AND I KNOW WENDY HORN!" for all the world to hear and for her to be embarrassed.

perhaps i am a bit crazy...

TAROT READING DEMO

tonight i went to the free tarot reading demo in the pub given by victor daniel's wife kooch. i drew the world card, which she explained to me had to do with traveling and going places and doing lots of things.

check out her site here.

i'm thinking about checking out the other demos throughout the week...


on another note, i received an invitation to the psychology department's graduation banquet to be held the eve of graduation. i also received my stickers today, so if anyone's interested, check out an image here. they'll be going for $1 each. drop me a line if you're interested.

i also just made my train reservations to head to porterville mon-wed of spring break. it cost me a whoopin' $52.70. dang it sure is expensive riding the train.

HOLE IN MY FINGER

yesterday wendy and i went grocery shopping. so hey, now we have food in the apartment again. but wait... when we were putting the groceries in the trunk, i poked my thumb on some sharp thing on the top of the underneath of the trunk and punctured my thumb. it bled, but not much, and then throbbed like my thumb had been smashed. i was just glad that it didn't go underneath my thumbnail. man, that would've HURT! but hey, it's feeling better, except when i keep hitting it. i never realized how much i need my right thumb and how much i keep hitting it against something. OUCH!

DARN DREAM!

dreams increase the craving. DAMN!

GIFT CERTIFICATES AND FREE STUFF

so, i just got back a little while ago from the lacrosse game, which was actually quite exciting to watch. safe, or student advocates for education were there giving away free long sleeved tshirts, water bottles, and star shaped highlighters that have a different color for each tip of the star. i only stayed until halftime, but hey, you can't beat free stuff!

before going to the game, i went to the survey opportunity they were having in the library. it took about an hour and a half to two hours, but i got a muffin, a book, a $10 gift certificate to charlie brown's cafe, and i'll be getting a $25 online gift certificate that i'll be able to use at over 50 different online stores. plus, i was put into a drawing for an ipod. hey, can't beat that...


last night wendy, yael, and i went to the big cats show in the cooperage. leopards, etc. brought 5 of their big cats to show us including a lynx, mountain lion (cougar), cheetah, oselat, and a snow leopard. we wanted to pet them!!! go to leopards, etc's website for more information. i also took some photos!

afterward, we went to mom's boarding house to get dinner. i got the mom's philly cheesesteak sandwich, which was really good. plus, their onion rings are awesome! in fact, i'm going to go eat my leftovers now...

CHILLIN'

did some chillin' with brandon from across the hall. he got locked out while vicky was at work and after spending some time out in the living room reading wendy's copy of wild animus (the only book out there) and playing with the cat, i thought i would ask him if he would like to come watch tv. so, we ended up talking and watching cops and police chase videos. meanwhile, the music he had playing in the room was skipping on this one part of the song and it ended up sounding quite hilarious.

speaking of hilarious, yesterday karin had us listen to a super hilarious sound clip in explaining to our 302 class that while aggression is more commonly seen in males, females can also be quite aggressive. check this out!

I MADE IT BACK IN GOOD TIME!

so, my train actually made it in decent time. it was under 20 minutes late. so that means i got back here around 8pm last night! perhaps my luck with the train has finally changed.

we got our tests back in 318. i missed a point. i can't believe i actually missed a point!
