| my summer chem class is ridiculous. i feel like my professor has a stick lodged up her BUTT everyday. there's really no other way to describe her impatience with her students. she rolls her eyes when students ask questions and everybody can tell she absolutely loathes being there. i don't even know why she is teaching. she makes people feel really horrible for small things like one of my classmates, who was using a pipet to measure water. he was supposed to measure an unknown substance after measuring water with a separate tool. she came over and yelled at him for using the pipet at the wrong time. i feel like everyone is walking on thin ice everytime i'm in class. it's so scary asking her questions, you don't know if she's going to sneer at your question or tell you not to bother her for making her "reteach" something she already taught. OH and the only time i ever saw her smile was during a lab where she gives us mystery items that we have to find the density of. she's the only one that knows the correct answer and we have to go up and match our answer with hers and find the percentage of error. she only SMILES when the students' answers are really off. AHHh. i tried smiling at her a few times, and everytime, i was shot down with a stare. who does that??  btw, i'm totally good at sucking up, give me a few more labs and i'll update you with the status of her moods.
oh!!! here is something random i discovered about me. i absolutely despise chalkboards. everytime i see one, i feel repulsed. maybe because i really hate the feeling left on your fingertips after you've used chalk. whenever i see my professor writing on it, my fingertips feel like they're shriveling up and drying out hahaha. it's kind of weird! and i also get that shivery feeling when someone scratches their nails on the boards, just from looking at the chalkboard. sigh! i miss the white marker boards from high school. ALSO!!! does it bother anyone else when the professor doesn't completely erase every single line on the board?!?!!? sometimes they leave little lines or dots all over, then proceed to write on top of those and it kills me!!!
oh well, so my new summer class is everyday from 8-330 and it totally forces me to be NORMAL. normal like, i am waking up at 630-7 and sleeping at 12. ladies and gentlemen, emily fan is no longer a bat! i've been super healthy as well, eating 3 meals a day. (i can't get by one entry without talking about food can i?)
anyway so here's the healthy/AND EASY! lunch of the day:
i eat a vegan burger for lunch everyday. i use whole wheat buns and stick them in the toaster. while they're browning up nicely, i take my frozen "Morningstar" vegan grilled patties out of the freezer and microwave it for 2 minutes. it's recommended to use an oven preheated to about 400 degrees but honestly, i'm too hungry and lazy after chem to even bother. then i take out the hot buns and layer on my Kraft fat free cheese product and let it melt on the bread. (by the way, i LOVE this cheese product, it's got 30 calories per slice and 0 fat; it also tastes exactly like cheese! why wouldn't anyone use this as a cheese replacement? it's lovely.) then i just cut up some iceberg lettuce and slice of onions, layer it on and finish it with some squirts of ketchip (reduced sugar.) anyway the whole burger comes out to be a total of about 330 calories, give or take your choice in veggies and sauce. DELICIOUS! and i have to admit, the vegan patties taste better than meat, not sure why! it's only the morningstar brand too cuz i've tried the boca vegetarian patties and they are gross. anyway, there you go. very low in fat and very low in calories. for those of you who count your calories~ this will make you full and give you some extra calories to spend on some sides or dessert!
oh, and here's a restauranty review of Hanabi Japanese House. matt wanted to try something new in my area so i decided to look online, in hopes of finding somewhere delicious for his very particular tastebuds. (and the fact that he's eaten everywhere here already made it harder for me.) i found a sushi restaurant which had some good reviews and pictures so i said okay, it's very near my house, few blocks down on Kauffman and Las Tunas, should be ok. unfortunately we walked in and thought perhaps we should leave, but against better judgement, we sat down and decided to order food. it took years to bring out the food and then when it finally came, it really wasnt good at all, nor did it taste fresh. anyway there isn't much detail to go into just because it just didn't taste like good sushi. we tried their curry plate too and it tasted like it was instant curry from a package. all in all, blech!! don't go!
also i've got my jury duty summon and i had to reschedule it to the end of august because i have summer school. gosh! i hope i have time to go somewhere extra fun this summer.
anyway! quizzy tomorrow morning so gotta get studying. lots of fun forumulas to memorize. woooooooo...  and why isn't my a/c working?? it's been on for hours. odd!
ok everyone have a lovely day.

| wowoww, i'm writing again! i used to write profusely as you all know but i've stopped for a really long time. anyway, i'm gonna do this more just because it makes me happy. 
starting with my infamous random lists-
1. i love turkey subway sandwiches! it's under 300 calories and it's delicious! i've been cutting down on the carbs and sugar and it's really helpd me maintain weight. in case you guys want to know, i eat my 6" sandwiches with wheat bread, lettuce, onions, green peppers, salt/pepper, and vinegar. no cheese or mustard/mayo!
so recently, i've been driving around and i've spotted FDA notices posted up all around places that serve raw tomatoes with their sandwiches. ie: mcdonalds, subway, etc. apparently there's a salmonella outbreak with the tomatoes grown from certain states and so they aren't serving tomatoes temporarily. just in case anyone wanted to know.  or the places that are, people are warned and advised not to eat the tomatoes. so watch out!
2. my house is remodeling and my dad has taken apart numerous rooms. we had to clean out all the rooms and move everything into the living room as temporary storage space and in doing so, we've unearthed a great number of treasures (or trash, i suppose, depending on who it is.)
anyway, goodie #1: i found it in my kitchen and it is called "The Pasta Express." it's one of those, as seen on tv sort of things and it's a clear cylinder with a plastic cap with slits. so apparently, one just pours boiling water into the container and puts in x amount of pasta, veggies, shrimp, etc and it cooks it to "perfection" in a certain amount of time. then it is drained via the colander/cap on the top and it's ready to be served. sounds dumb-proof, no? i can't imagine any way i could possibly mess this up. i'll let you know how well it goes after i test it when my kitchen is restored.
goodie #2: or goodie(s). i found a box of letters/pictures from middle school and high school from various friends. it was gloriously entertaining! middle school drama at it's best. if you've ever written me a lined-paper letter, it is in the box.
goodie #3: my mom's old photo albums was stuffed in a box with my things. i looked through it for a second and thought it was myself. i was seriously racking my brain for a second, wondering when i ever rocked a fro. oh my god. hahahah on another note, i look like a clone of my mother.
there's so much more random junk. i'll have to go through them later.
3. i'm so happy that summer is here~ i always have an entry dedicated to summer! i never forget about my favorite season of the year. it just makes me so happy to be alive. i can't wait for barbeques and beach trips. i love wearing summer clothes! everything about summer is so wonderful!
this summer, i'm taking chem and i just really want to ace it. i've aced all my nursing classes so far and if i can just do well in this class, i'll be less stressed because the other classes i take will be easier. i've never had a mind for math, i've always done much better in the arts and languages. supposedly, i have a really crap professor though, so i really need to work hard. i've also quit my job because school is going to be going on everyday this summer. i've no time for the job. sadly, i think i will miss my, albeit small, but steady cashflow  and some of the nicer patients i've had the pleasure of doing therapy for.
i think summer will be good fun though, i always have such memorable summers. especially now, all my buddies have graduated! (congratulations everyone!) and so i will have a lot of friends home for me to bother. and pat is staying in socal this summer so it should be great! my goal this summer is to help him tan his legs.. hehe. 
4. i'm paying 65 dollars everytime i gas up my car.
what the hell! i found a station selling premium gas at 4.65 per gallon and i was -----> excited. that's not right. especially with the way i drive, between going out, school, and work, i have to fill up every week. blahhh. maybe i should just become a hermit. even the thought of going to disneyland makes me cringe when i think about driving there. oh well! my annual pass doesn't work from june-july anyway so i won't have to think about it for a while.
anyway that's all the points of interest i wanted to get down. besides that, i'll update with some more interesting stories next time for the few of you who still read xanga.

Take chances, give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy. You have to take the good with the bad. Smile when you're sad. Love what you got and always remember what you had. Always forgive, never forget. Learn from your mistakes but never forget. Never regret. People change. Things go wrong but always remember life goes on."
Thank you Eileen.

| Battle Log:
The battle is escalating towards epic proportions. The enemies have reason to believe the battle can be easily won. Hiding amongst the jungle of fur, the hostiles emerge at night to reap the blood of unsuspecting victims, leaving them in itchy turmoil. They are gone within a few seconds, leaving only the scattered flecks of droppings in the fur of the host. They have however, underestimated me. Armed with Advantage Plus, I will destroy their rapidly growing population. The fleas have no chance. | | |
| somehow, i find myself always embracing the idea of the upcoming cold seasons after the conclusion of summer. i hate cold weather too so i will be retracting this statement come the first rainy day of fall hahah.
my journal entries, which i've so diligently written in since the 9th grade, have boiled down to nothing but random blurbs and lists consisting of watered-down versions of my life.
i have nothing to say. =| i apologize for wasting 30 seconds of your life that you can never get back. harhar!
