... for the time being. Took a stroll outside today and bought some groceries. What a warm sunny day.

Mmm I'm starting to like this Japanese drama. The criminal/cases are interesting and Kimura Takuya <3. goofy detective.

My right temporal lobe pulsing. Happens when I force myself awake. But i took a nap today?! but it was a chaotic one and woke up terribler than ever.

Naps don't help. Not napping doesn't help. Wish I wasn't such a terrible sleeper.

Numbers, my biggest villain.
 
Lupe Fiasco concert last night was prettyyy rockin'! My first rap concert. There was a lot of noise. And a lot of asian people. The venue was pretty small (love small venues. get to be up close) and I was in the third row! Although the view wasn't as close as the Wang Leehom concert I went to a few years back (still waiting for him to come back to the bay!) My eardrums were blown out. Most of his songs were just a bunch of noise; cuz it was SO LOUD . "Go go gadget flow" and "Superstar" was definitely the best... probably because I only listen to those two songs.. hahah. Very energetic performance. he was moving and jumping everywhere and rapping super fast. <3 concerts.

Colored lights can make anybody look amazing.

It's Tanpopo the giant tortoise!  Will photoshop it after finals (in 2.5 weeks). keep forgetting to do different perspectives. oops.

Where has the time gone. But glad it's going fast.

Ohhh oohh and i finished my 80 hrs of community pharmacy volunteering! =D

Ahhh today was a wonderfully sunny day, perfect for a photo-shoot! What a waste.

It feels like the terrible Stockton summer weather will blaze its wrath soon.  That time of year again. Summers are always nostalgic.

My dinner I made today! Vietnamese pancake: Ban Xeo
Yummm crunchy on the outside... soft on the inside.

Made sushi for dinner today. And now I'm full and sick of it. I can't believe... my 80 hours of community IPPE's is almost over. I think only now I've started to sink into the atmosphere of the place and getting to know the people I work with. That place is so busy and I can't talk while I count pills. Alas things end just as you start to settle. Only 18 hours more to go.. 2 weeks to go. Which means... the semester is almost over! Lupe Fiasco concert next week. Countdown: 32 days. Like that means anything because we only get 1 week off. But whatevers, I'm heading off to SD to party!

tasted good the first 5 rolls then the rice expanded in my stomach.
Going to do 40 hrs of geriatrics next semester. I heard some people get placed in psych wards or something. HM that would be interestingly bogus. I'm curious about non-retail environment which is the only exposure I've been getting.

So sad that I'm probably unable to do a photo-shoot in the orchards that I've been passing by on my way to Modesto. I wonder what it's like to walk in a forest of white blossoms~

I wish I had more non-pharmacy major friends.  

Long drives on the highway at night with the perfect playlist.

Quizzes, quizzes, quizzes all the time.

dark chocolate and almonds, my favorite!

Being home is chicken soup for the soul.

I worked on another scene from my screenplay. Hm. My consistency in making characters look the same is terrible. Oh well! I really need to practice drawing more to develop that consistency... so not persistent enough.

Meeting in the Meadow
Somehow my drawings don't quite come out exactly how I imagine them. I envisioned this scene to be at sunset but it is...not. I was more persuaded by the colors i wanted to use. oops! I guess it reflects where i want to be right now... outside taking a walk in a fresh and breezy green meadow... with a guy in a white coat =X. 

I really want to make an effort to keep at this project and not just be swallowed in school. I really want to develop the ability to imagine and draw foreshortening. Maybe in time it will click.
