Life lately.

Campus craze was a cool day. Got a lot of freebies and met a lot of new people. I mostly enjoyed the freebies hehe. 

Headed to work as well to make some dough since it was nice. Wasn't too bad, steady flow of clients. Math isn't too difficult either but I've been more attentive, completing my homework everyday and asking questions instead of pushing unsolved problems to the side. Wondering if I should start back up at the restaurant. They're hiring again with an increased of $9/hr + tips which is like super awesome. It was awesome even at $7.25+tips. The only thing is they need week nights and weekends. I absolutely hated working week nights until 11-midnight and having classes the next day at 8AM, plus I work at the shop on weekends. I don't want to overload myself, especially with calculus this year hence I didn't take intermediate Japanese this semester. I like being able to get off work around 7-8PM even if my days are 10 hour shifts because I have time to finish my assignments and get a decent amount of sleep. I'm also planning a trip back to Vietnam during winter break as well since I haven't been back in almost 5 years. It's still uncertain if it'll go through but I hope so. I really want to show him all the delicious, fresh fruit and flavors of Asia. I think he'll definitely love getting 2kg of lychee for less than $2USD and mangosteen for ~$5. If the fruits are in season during then, hope we can snag some! Maybe in Saigon? 

Just bought my first fitness tracker! A vivosmart. Was contemplating between cheaper brands and brand names since I'm not an extreme health junkie but I wanted something that worked? The one I was wearing before counted my arm movements which totaled to +33,000 by 7PM but all day I was stuck in class and driving. I do however, talk with a lot of hand gestures lol. The brands are accurate with the step movements and they have other functions as well which are nice. Fitbit was out of the image. Limited options for a high price that a cheaper basic fitness band could perform. Vivofit had pretty good functions but once I saw that it required batteries - circle cell ones which last a year I knew vivosmart was the one even if it was a bit pricier. I absolutely hate batteries even the rechargeable ones haha. I'm a rechargeable girl so usb of some sort is my thing. It's waterproof so I can go swimming and it plays music. Major bonuses! Can't wait for my goodie to arrive! :D 

First day of sophomore college.

Tried to avoid an 8:00AM class but I guess I'm just stuck. The instructor was pretty relaxed and what not. Saw some old friends throughout the day. Calc's gonna be a bitch especially with around 36 students in the class. Ugh, plus she starts at least 5 minutes before class officially starts. Got a quiz the very next day as well. Fun. 

Cut my nails all the way down and did a neutral set. Doesn't look too shabby. It does feel and look a bit off since I'm use to my nails beginning at around an inch or more long haha. Have another early class tomorrow morning. Yay. Maybe I'll work after school, maybe. If calc doesn't overkill me with homework. 

Sushi for first day breakfast. 

Ootd

Some of the Hawaii photos. 

Addiction.

I've got an addiction. Partially because I do this when I'm bored, sad, happy, and angry. 😂

Spent around 3 hours in one store. Bought too much shit too. Had customers and employees staring at me since I had a butt load of clothes wrapped around both arms. I come so often that the cashiers at the store remember me and we have conversations since I'd be shopping there 6 out of 7 days a week this past few months. Seriously, almost everyday after work I be hitting up clothes haha. Bought more storage containers and they're already full and I need more but eh. I'll save it for another day and I don't have room yet lol. Prolly going to need to clean out old clothes. Refolded one of my tubs and oh my goodness. Some of the clothes I haven't worn since I went back to Vietnam in 2011! Damn. Anyways, just a few days til school! Excited to not work as much, meet new people, and spend more time with my sweetie! 

He's so sweet ❤️😍

Uno mass dream.

I've been having dreams lately. Most of them nightmares but I don't wake up in the middle of the night and switch my pillow over to the other side like I used to. I sleep through it and forget everything as soon as I wake up. Last night was a bit different though. I dreamt that I was at a beach or tropical area again. I had to deal with his grandparents again. Then I dreamt of uncle Pedro's departure, I cried and cried and ran away. I met the other woman too. I just looked at her vexingly. This matter didn't really affect me to this extent in reality. It was a major shock, and disappointment but not to the extent of my dream. Another one, I was starting my interpersonal communications course. The instructor was a real bitch. It was a mixture of composition and Japanese? Anyways, people I dislike were in there but also him? I avoided as usual to avoid drama/issues and bc he hates me anyways. But..this time it was different? He wasn't coming onto me strong like the other dreams. Instead, he was sincere and seemed like he wanted to let the past be water under the bridge and be friends again..even if he had some lingering feelings. I was obviously puzzled and knew it was a dream but I remained composed. I kept asking if he was certain that he felt that way, that he didn't hate me, that he really wanted to be friends and in the back of my mind I thought of my boyfriend. A part of me was happy and a part of me was scared of myself. It was in a dark room, all the students huddled together on the floor to watch something on the projector when it happened. He had long, dark brown hair? Probably something he has now. It was a nice dream to reminisce to even though it would never happen. It's probably just because of something I've been watching lately.

Really loving this dress. It goes down to my mid thigh, afterwards it's all lace to my feet.

One more week.

Can't wait for school to start. Only because I'm tired of working everyday every week. I wanna be able to wear cute outfits without worrying that when I sit or lean over my goods will show lol. Which reminds me, yesterday we had a power outage and no one was allowed in until an hour later. To think I rushed to work on the highway because I thought there'd only be 2 technicians and that it be a full house! I could've been sleeping in.

Heading over to JCCC to pick up textbooks and materials. Going to help him with his FA matters as well. Gonna grab free ice cream as well when the kids go meet their teachers.

Took the kids out today after work. Work stressed me out a bit so I did what I naturally do when I'm upset: shop. Everything I've bought literally have been all black and white minus a cream and a baby blue top lol. Let them eat BK and TB as well. Managed to snag 2 free drinks even though I didn't order any bc the guy who took my order thought I was cute, sweet. The kids really loved the crunchy tacos, I think next time I'll have them try chalupas. Alex liked the crunch delights but Andi thought it was to sweet, which I agree with her. 

Cleaning before school hits.

Went to work on my day off lol. Got out early so it wasn't that bad. My back just ache a lot, need to pop some Advil since aflo is here. Went to school to turn in more FA materials even though I had already turned it in two months ago. Sigh. Better not lose this last copy. Went to Pei Wei for quick dinner then some more shopping. I need to stop haha. Already got enough clothes even for back to school. Bought some hooks since I'm out of space heh. Folded my purses and shoved it under my bed. Wallets and what not went into a box, hung up my cardigans from autumn/winter to spring/summer and some of my lightweight purses/bags. Got another storage box for winter clothes so I officially have 4 boxes of winter clothes and two for summer/spring tops then I just hang up dresses/rompers and blouses that are usually ironed but I'm too lazy to iron so I hang em so I don't have to iron em later lol. Hung my winter jackets on my door plus undergarments heh. Tried on my sophomore dress and I still fit! I was a bit surprised haha. Found my earmuffs from Japan as well. But I'm happy with how organized and more space I have now in my room...which will prolly be crowded again in a week or so. 😁
