Good evening xangans!  Happy Friday night to all.  I know how everyone loves Fridays and secretly hates Mondays.  I have to admit when Friday rolls around, it does feel pretty good.

Changing Irvine Boy = S.

S and I are going to a lounge in LA tonight to hang out with some friends. So I have my hair up, just washed my face, and getting ready to put on makeup.  Thought I’d check in and make a quick post first.

I’ve been enjoying the past week off from school and it’s bliss!  I’m back on track with my workout again, so far this week I’ve been to the gym 3 days out of the five.  And I still have Saturday and Sunday, so we’ll see how that goes.  I’m hoping to go both days and just stay an hour each time.

Back to eating healthy too now that I actually have time to cook!  For breakfast today I had 4 egg whites and 2 slices of my fave center cut bacon.  Lunch was Chinese, had a little bit of rice, sweet and sour pork, and some veggies.  Didn’t eat too much of that since I think most Chinese food are loaded with grease.

For dinner S is bringing KFC!!  I’m excited.  Haven’t had KFC in the longest time!

Okay, have to go get ready …

This live webcam is fun!

Another day…    I don’t have anything due in class tomorrow, but I do have a paper due on Thursday morning, which I better start on tonight just so I don’t try and cram everything in tomorrow night.  Even if I do finish the paper tonight, I still have a few other projects I need to work on tomorrow night.  Which then means, if I don’t start and finish my paper tonight, I’ll have to work on the paper tomorrow night along with the other stuff….. Then that’ll be too much stuff!

I have flute lessons tonight at 7:30 tonight.  So I think I’m going to pack up and go to the gym for an hour just to relax the brain.  Since right now I do not think I want to read anything or do any work… gym will be a nice place to get away to.

This week is finals week for summer session.  Thank gawd!  I’m about to die with so many classes.  I was up writing my research paper till 5 a.m. this morning and I’m still not done.  I need to give a short presentation on my paper tomorrow morning so I have to finish tonight.  But I’m feeling sleepy.  I’m going to take a 45 minute nap and then get started on my paper again…

I’m back home now.  Having a belated birthday get together with 2 of my best girlfriends.

This weekend was kind of weird with Irvine Boy.  Something’s not right.  But nothing is really wrong either.  Or could be cause he’s still irritated at me because I said on Friday he doesn’t take much interest in certain things that has to do with me.  Or could be it’s cause he sick.  I don't know why I was so bothered on Friday.  I think it's cause I've had my schedule full for 2 weeks now.  And the only time I have to see him is on Friday and Saturday.  Sunday's are usually reserved for either more homework, laundry, or similar.  So I wanted everything to feel perfect when I did see him.  But what's 'perfect' anyway.  It ended up being crappy.  And then I think we just took turns being irritated.  So pretty much if the start of the weekend is ruined, then the whole weekend is ruined.

Hopefully we’ll be back on the right track later on this week.  I don't know...

Yesterday during the earlier part of the day we went to pick up some parts for his car cause his window broke.  Then had lunch at Subway.  For the rest of the day I did homework and studied.  I studied from 3:30 p.m. till almost 3:00 a.m. yesterday.  Weird how fast time just flew by.  Maybe because in the back of my mind I know I have way too much to finish so taking a break wasn't even an option.  Wait, I did take a break.  I went to the gym and ran for an hour from 12:00a.m. - 1:00a.m.  Really needed that.  I felt like I was sitting on my ass all day and it didn't feel good at all.

So Sunday today.  I still have a paper I need to write.  But since it's a rough draft, I can just BS my way through it for now and worry about the real thing on Monday or Tuesday.

That's it for now.  Hope everyone's weekend was better.

Happy Saturday, everyone. 

Went to dinner at my co-worker’s house last night with Irvine
Boy.   We didn’t stay that late.  Probably till around 10 p.m. or so.  Then
I wanted to stop by Irvine Spectrum for a couple of drinks to finish the night off for myself.  So we did that.  I had a shot and a beer.  Irvine Boy had water.  After we got back home I just went to
sleep.  Nothing spectacular.  Actually, nothing spectacular doesn't really describe it.  I think the right words are, "The night sucked."  I would have packed everything and just went home to sleep alone if I wasn't afraid of getting pulled over for not being able to drive.  Since I pretty much slept alone last night anyway.  Because I came back and went to bed, and he went upstairs to play video games.

Need to do homework today… and want to hit the gym.

What’s going on with everyone anyway.  I guess I better find some time to catch up.  I haven’t really had time to sign into Xanga and read up on what’s everyone doing.  I haven’t even had time to make posts of my own.  Been too busy.   A lot to do.  Juggling practically a full time school schedule over summer and full time work is taking up most of my time if not all.  But I’m hanging in there.  I wonder if I’m going to be able to keep this up.  Irvine Boy said something like, “if you’re going to do it, then you have to finish it.”  -- or something similar.  But all I can say is that I can try.  I have a full time work schedule and not focusing on work is not really an option for me either.  So I can only say I can do my best.  But blah.  Sometimes I just feel blah.  And sometimes I’m like !&%*$(   when people say don’t do so much, don’t take so many classes, … take your time.  Well, I don’t have time to take.  I have a schedule I need to be on because everything else that’s going to take place in my life will happen no matter what.  And if I don’t give it my everything right now, it’ll never happen. That’s just the way it is.  Anyway, I’m glad tomorrow is Friday because I don’t have any classes on Friday, and I just need the day off from school.  So … just work tomorrow.  I think I’m going to get up and hit the gym in the morning.  Haven’t been to the gym early in the morning for a while now.  I can only go in the afternoons when I can steal an hour here and there.  And afternoons suck because there’s more people, and the gym is warmer from all the random body heat.

Haven’t done much of anything except go to school 7:30a.m. – 12:30 p.m. everyday.  Then work from around 1:30 – 7:30 or 8:00p.m.  The rest of the time I try to do homework and study, or see clients.

Life has been okay.  Nothing new to update everyone on, except it’s been SO hot.  Can’t stand it.  But I’m sure you all know that.  I don’t have central air at my place, so I’ve been sleeping on my sofa with the portable AC going all night.  Can’t sleep when it gets too hot.  I just keep waking up in the middle of the night.

It’s summer…. What’s everyone got planned?  Seems like this year is going by so fast I haven’t even had time to enjoy spring and we’re in the next season already.  I’m not much of a summer person, so I don’t have anything on my agenda except staying out of the heat.  Can’t wait for fall again.  I wish I could just skip summer all together.  But I guess summer nights are nice.  Okay, let’s not skip summer.  Cause I do enjoy the nights.  Really random thoughts tonight.    … hm… it’s been a while since my last post, so just really putting down what’s popping up in my mind.

I’m all washed up now… going to go lay on my sofa and go to sleep…

Good night, friends.

Okay, everyone can take their ‘congratulations’ back.  I’m not going to move in with Irvine Boy anymore.  Turns out the roommate that was going to move out had decided she doesn’t want to move out anymore.  And then there’s issues with the current landlord.  Stupid.  I should have known better than to talk to my parents about it before I knew for sure.

But I guess the pros are I don’t need to think about packing up and moving and worrying about all that at this point in my life.  AND I still get to live independently.

So I had flute lessons today cause it’s Tuesday.  Now I’m going to go to sleep.  My alarm is going to go off at 5:45 a.m. tomorrow morning again for school.

Good night.

Ohmygawd I need a minute to breathe.  I decided to ‘try’ and go back to school and today was the first day.  First class this morning was at 7:30 a.m., so I was up at 6:00 a.m.  Got up, got ready, got breakfast, and headed to school.  I thought the parking lot was going to be packed…but guess I was wrong.  It was practically empty!  I guess no one wants to go to school at that time except me and a few others huh?  So I got through two classes without feeling tired and wanting to sleep.  But I’m not done yet.  I have one more class tonight at UCI from 6:30 – 9:30, then I’m done.  I did get to squeeze in gym time at 2 p.m. today though for an hour.  So that’s always nice.  I HAVE to get to the gym no matter what.  Makes me feel better all day and better about myself.

So I’ve decided to move down to Irvine with Irvine Boy.  We’ve been discussing that possibility for the past week and I was thinking really, really hard about it.  And I’ve decided to DO IT and join forces with Irvine Boy!  Yay!!  I’m actually really excited.  He asked me once last year… and at that time we had only been dating for 1.5 years, so I really didn’t think it was a good idea.  But now going on to three years, and I think we’re really serious about each other, and we’re more ready, and it might not be a bad idea.  Plus it’d be nice to get to see him more since I have so much on my hands between work, and school, and working out….  Not living together does make it difficult.  Another thing I’m really looking forward to is just being together more.  So… I’m not sure the exact date… but I think we’re looking at end of September for one of his current roommate to move out… and the place will be ready for me to move stuff over.  It’s actually going to be a nice change.  I’ll be looking forward to being near South Coast Mall, and being able to bike to the Irvine Spectrum 24 Hour gym…                            I’ve told my mom and dad and they’re completely okay with it, which means 2 things.  1)  I’m all grown up now, and 2) they love my boyfriend.  They should though, cause he’s a great guy.

Okay, I have to get ready to head out to school…  catch up later, friends…

I got up today around 10:00 a.m., Irvine Boy slept in till a little bit later.  But we did head out for lunch with Judy at the Tokyo Shabu Shabu in Diamond Plaza for lunch around 1:00 p.m. I think?  Can't really remember.  Never been there before, but it was pretty good.  Nice and simple, flavor was light just the way I like it.  Wanna go back again.  Makeupaddict?  We'll go as soon as I finish my tax crap.

Irvine Boy and Judy are both here at the office helping me with putting everything together so I can get it sent out next week to the IRS.  I love my friends.... these are real friends when they help you with IRS documenting work.  Cause it is NOT fun.  Boyfriend ain't so bad either.  Actually he's great, he helps make everything go a little smoother cause he so smart he can figure what I need and how to do it.  Thank gawd.

Okay, have to get back to work.  We're far from being done.

We might take a break in a bit and figure out some dinner plans though.
