nothing interesting. although i've actually done stuff in my life. that doesnt involve me sleeping, being on my computer, hanging out w/ the family, or shopping/working at banana (they sorta go hand in hand haha). thanks to the lovely generosity of nicole larrea, bum lee, and caroline choe, i have had some semblance of a social life.

wednesday i visited nicole at princeton, who i havent seen for 2 years. i smartly didnt buy my ticket to princeton, only to princeton JUNCTION. had to pay like an extra 4 bucks. smart girl i am. anyways, i took a tour of the campus. nice place. oldish buildings, but it all looked pretty nice. i esp. liked nicole's dorm room. 2 stories! plus her bed is right beneath a skylight w/ openable windows! and her roommate and her have like a wall division, so they get privacy. not all of them are like that obviously, but still. i found the whole "eating club" thing very weird, but i'm sure every school has it's own special things. even that crazy orientation activity. getting dropped off in this random place not knowing anyone, hiking 6 days, no shower, no toilets, NOTHING. then getting picked up. or canoeing. either way i find it CRAZY. i'm such a girly girl. also very impressed by the massive amounts of donations princeton gets. i guess that's what happens when you REALLY like your school. you're willing to give back millions upon millions of dollars to your alma mater. me? i'm not sure if i want to donate, i dont even like cmu all that much. maybe like 20 bucks a year. haha we'll see. unless i get a building named after me. that would be kool.

o yea. and the CICADAS. it was soooooo gross. those 17 year ones that everyone's been talking about. i havent seen any around where i am. but then i go over to princeton, and they're flying and landing on me, i saw some mating, they're dead all over the ground, UGH! and so incredibly loud!!!

after talking to nicole and ann, i'm sure glad i dont go to a super anal school where everyone studies like there's no tomorrow. or maybe that makes to sense because if there was no tomorrow, you would not be studying. hmm...anyways, you get my point. and all undergrads write a thesis. 100 pages about their research. i cant even write 10 pages let alone 100. it seems like everyone and their mothers are involved in some sort of sport at princeton. these people are too perfect. *puke puke* and so down to earth too. it's not like walking around cmu, and everywhere you look it's weirdo nerdy people. these people look NORMAL, yet they're genius. what's up w/ that? anyways, it was a good day, lots of walking, walking, and more walking. wish i had some sort of camera on me, but that's ok. looking at pictures of buildings arent that fun anyways, you can always go online to the princeton website.

and today i went into the city to meet up w/ bum and caroline. we walked around the met, walked around the city in that area, had pizza, walked walked walked, and kinda felt like a 3rd wheel but it's all good. hahaha. i really need to work on my posture. all this walking is making my back hurt. but i never remember to continue walking straight, cuz i'm such a lazy bum and my back is curved like 20 seconds later.

tomorrow i have work and the day after i'm going to six flags great adventure w/ my family. yup, it's going to rain again. YAY. sucks.

btw it was nice catching up on all the gossip w/ nicole, although i've forgotten some of it by now. it's all about who is going out w/ who, who's getting married to who, who broke up w/ who...etc etc. soon, like nicole said, it's going to be who's having kids, blah blah. so crazy! we're still so young! i had to bust out my yearbook and look to remember people. didnt recognize a good majority. hmm...note to self: ask nicole about who that swimmer guy is again?
