i'll find someone new
Okay the post to cover the past 1.5 weeks:
Black Friday
Woke my ass up at 5:30 to make it to Best Buy around 6:00. The line to get into the store had wrapped around to the back of the store to car installation, but there was very little wait. After initially making a few laps around the store, I came up emptyhanded. As I was standing around, deciding whether or not to go back home and sleep, employees put down a pallet right in front of me, and started stacking the dvd +-i r/rw drives. I grabbed one, and a dvd player before getting in line. By this point, the line had looped around the store as it normally would, back toward the front where the registers are. Then it turned towards the middle of the store between the dvd/video games section and hooked again back past dvds and towards cds. It was probably going to be a two+ hour wait. Ten minutes after waiting in line, I noticed that the pda/cell phone register was taking purchases, as long as you bought something in the department. After a retarded computer/register/server issue that should have never happened, I made out with my stuff.
Stopped by Target for no other reason than to say hello to Nick and Jhermaine, and to see who the hell works there now. Needless to say, nevermind. Went to Petsmart afterwards to get some ghost shrimp. Ten minutes after putting them into my tank, I had trouble finding them, haha. Hopefully they will be okay.
Dropped everything off at home before heading out to Walgreens to unsuccessfully buy more stuff. Made a stop at Albertson's to get something for the potluck. Got there, greeted some people while eating, and hung around for a bit. Always nice seeing friends from high school. Wiz was a no show, puwahahaha.
Plans for a eventful Friday night needlessly to say fell through. Instead I watched some tv shows/movies going on and saw the Lakers kick the Spurs off the court.
Thanksgiving and Wednesday
T-day was a small family affair. Nothing extra special, just a nice sit down dinner. That afternoon Chester, Gerald, and I went to the rec to play some ball. It's a damn good thing my o-game is still there, because my defense sucks cheeks these days. For my day off Wednesday, I think I just stayed home and did nada.
Useless Two Days Of Classes
Monday was classes as normal. I think after class monday I went to the library. As the lady was checking out my dvds, she looks at one and says something to the effect of "there's a great love scene in this one." Tfg is she talking about. So I'm standing there with a blank stare on my face, trying not to acknowledge the statement because 1) I don't want it to seem like that's why I'm getting the movie and 2) I don't want to seem like an idiot because everyone should have already seen that movie.
So I had a 5 page term paper due Tuesday, and I didn't start it until 10 pm Monday. I write 2.5 paragraphs before turning in, deciding to wake up at 7:00 the next morning. Alarm goes off, and I end up not getting out of bed until 8:00 haha. Suck me. You know how in term papers you gotta do research and junk? Nope, not I. I wrote the whole thing based on information I knew already. I put together five pages of text before heading out to school, arriving there twenty minutes earlier than usual. Nope, I wasn't completely done. Have to cite your paper, and to a works cited sheet. Ended up making up the latter, and throwing in random citations into the paper (like adding an (amazon.com) as one of my sources, bwahaha). After that garbage, I do the title page and have to submit my paper to a damn plagiarism checker website. I obviously will not be accused of copying anybody's work on this paper, haha. With this paper, I'll either be a genius, or an idiot. Thank you, thank you.
Big Game
Yes, yes. Saturday Chester and I went to the UCB @ Stanford football game. We got there a little early and went to the shopping center to eat brunch. I haven't been there in like two years. While walking around the parking field toward the stadium, some dude picked up some plastic cups on the ground and says "I'm just being good alumni. It must have been some Cal fans." Bwahahaha gfg. Then when we're almost at the stadium at a corner, I ended up being surrounded by the wrong crowd. Everybody was either wearing blue or gold, and I was right there in the middle sporting my Stanford color sweater, haha. The crowd started doing some of those "go bears" cheers around me. The green light could not have come sooner.
I was going to buy a Stanford hat from a street vender for five dollars, but the hat that I wanted was sold by his buddy to the fan in front of me. Bummer.
UCB came out on top in the end, but at least two of their retarded fans got arrested, one of which got beat down and dragged away. Sucker.
Last Week
I was pretty busy last week. Had a few tests, and was tired quite often. On Wednesday I went to Ian's to study for econ. I ended up missing a lot of tv shows last week, those of which have since been made up. All except the VS fashion show, that is. Who would have thought I'd not seen it yet?!
Over the weekend I set up and started a
fish tank. It has since been occupied by two species of fish: striped
black neon tetras and spotted
danios. Within another week or two, I'll put some other fish in.
