Last week I started school!
I fell in love with ALL my teachers, minus my Sociology teacher.. ugh that was painful. There is so much more to why I didn't like her... but the selling points on dropping her class were the highest grade you can get in her class is a C(Sidebar: WHY?! why would ANYONE stay in a class and risk their GPA to only get a C!) UNLESS, you are willing to do heinous amounts of extra credit to receive just a B! AGH!...THEN.. she announces she is a Marxist and Atheist! So, I dropped that class IMMEDIATELY .
Minus, this past week also being President's Week and having F.S.Su.M.T off it was also, Valentine's Day week. I was bummed that my fiance Brandon couldn't come down to visit, but extremely excited that my mom wanted to come visit. So I cleaned up my apartment on Friday and waited. Around 9pm Someone knocks on the door and I open it to a HUGE teddy bear,Heart Shaped Box of See's Candy, a gift bag and rose petals surrounding it! I orginally thought it was my mom, trying to make me feel better, but i looked to my right and standing there was Brandon! I was immediately thrilled! My mom and him had planned for him to surprise me all week!So Saturday we ate at Paty's for breakfast, then i drove him up to the Hollywood Sign, Which this week was changed into "Save The Peak" so that sucked that he couldn't see it! Then, we went to Pink's Hot Dogs and stood in that line forever and ate some YUMMY hot dogs and cheeseburgers. After that we walked around the Grove and then saw a movie at the Burbank Town Center. We watched Valentine's Day. Which was a decently good movie, made your laugh, made you cry...was perfect for what else? Valentine's Day. Then Sunday, THE ACTUAL Valentine's Day we woke up and went to Bob's Big Boy for breakfast,we sat there thinking about what we could do with out day but everything just didn't fit (mainly cause we were on a budget) We decided on Knott's Berry Farms which neither of us had been and they were having a couple special , so our ticket was fairly cheap! I really like it! Knotts is like a less cool version of Disneyland and a WAY better version of Great America. The rides there are REALLY REALLY good and Brandon and I enjoyed playing the carnival games. After we drove back home, dressed quickly and went to Mo's in Toluca Lake for Dinner, then came home and watched Sleeping Beauty. Monday, we just drove around, ran some errands and then he left = (.
In Other News, I finished "Something Blue" and I for sure enjoyed it. I really ended up liking the main character, which in the beginning I was determined not too! Now, I am beginning to read "Reservation Road" by John Burnham Schwartz. It was made into a movie last year, but I think people may have gotten confused, because it came out the same time as "Revolutionary Road" anyways I have yet to see the movie to the book, although I have heard good things about it. I am a true believer that the book is always better then the movie, but so far... I am not sure; maybe it just starts off slow. Well, I will be go now and run some errands = )

Rain, Rain Go Away
The other day I had such a good topic to type about.. yet I had such trouble logging into my Blogger account, which I usually do and then later I re-attempt to log in and everything works fine. Now, that I am logged in.. I will type what may end up being a severely long blog.
Last week (Thurs. to be exact) I flew back home to San Jose, yet it is funny how quickly I had made Burbank/Toluca Lake my home. I mean San Jose will always be home-home but everything had already felt foreign to me back home. It was nice to see everyone again, and obviously my Fiance Brandon >Paty's.
Wow, I already can't remember everything I wanted to share!
Well. lets see.. I finished reading The Lovely Bones.. which I found to be an amazing book and would recommend for ANYONE to read. It definitely captures a real life situation and makes you feel and understand what every single character is going through and it's believable. I like that it doesn't only touch on the after life but it also, shows you the killers past life and what happened to make him who he is. Personally, i did not care for the ending, yet.. the ending was realistic. Now, I have begun reading Something Blue by Emily Giffin which is the sequel to Something Borrowed. The first few chapters may be a little boring since it is basically re-capping what happened in the first book, it's still mildly interesting cause you see it through Darcy's point of view and her feelings. So far, it's cute and different...I will enjoy seeing where this leads.
Yesterday, I did my first solo LA freeway drive (at night!) to Lakewood/Long Beach to meet up with Natasha and watch her boyfriend play hockey. He plays for San Jose State and they were playing against CSULB. The game was definitely intense and Long Beach played dirty, but San Jose won the game 6-3 or something like that. Overall, it was nice to see Natasha and hang out. They have a game tonight in Anaheim against USC but depending on the weather, I may or may not go. At The moment it is a thunder and lighting storm. Which in general dampens my plans for today just in Toluca Lake. I mean the people down here are horrible at driving when it's sprinkling, let alone a thunder storm. I don't go out period, during rain around here.
Next Blog will be about Books to read if you're in the mood for Valentines day and other things.. I know I promised a Political Blog, but I'm never motivated to write one at the right moments.
