april/may!

recently i haven't done much aside from school... i've been staying in ackerman a lot to study...

oh, pictures of the remodeled cooperage, by special request of superstraight


they're still not done with the rec room though. i'll take a pic of it when they finish.

aside from all the studying, this last week has been fun ^^

first off, i played mahjong again today, won $15 ^^;; not quite enough to cover dinner at boston cafe, but it was like 2 or 3 meals in one, since i have this huge box of fried rice sitting in my fridge now... the food there is so good<3

other than that, i didn't get much done today, since i woke up at like noon, after going to a club last night.. == i haven't been to a club in like 6 years, and i still don't dance haha... it was fun though, drinking and meeting up with friends and friends of friends ^^

yesterday, we had our poster presentations for our periodontics course... luckily we had dr alvarez grading us, otherwise i feel like we would've gotten like a 40/100 haha... at least our poster was pretty :P we decided to dress up for the presentations this time... since last time almost everyone else did, and my group looked pretty slobby wearing our scrubs ^^;;

after the poster presentations, we went to beverly hills to this place called paulette's for their macarons.... they're really pretty, but a little too sweet for my tastes.they have all kinds of flavors like... jasmine tea, pistachio, caramel, coffee, vanilla, raspberry, and like 10 others. it was sort of like eating... cake frosting with cookie dough haha... too sweet... and at 1.60 per macaron, it's also too expensive for me == haha

after that, we went to this restaurant/lounge place in the avenue of the stars building called CraftBar. they serve small tapas-style dishes i guess, but they have a restaurant too. this too was a little overpriced in my opinion, but, it was pretty good XD

the area the restaurant was located in is reallyyyy nice ^^ it kind of reminded me of roppongi, modern, classy, and somewhat artsy. i guess basically it's like a 有錢人的地方...u can check out more pics of friday's outings here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2495750&id=2500017&l=a05bde168d

sigh... it's only the 9th of the month, and i've spent $234.01 on food... i guess i'm gonna be dieting/eating cheap the rest of this month....

some cool stuff i found on the web:

http://bubblecalendar.com/2009p-int.htm this too haha... a calendar with bubble wrap.... one bubble for each day that passes by~ who cares if the year is half over! haha i feel like i would unconsciously pop them all by accident if i got it though ^^;;;

anyway, なんとなく我現在心情很好~ though it might change after i find out how i did on my final... lol... if i didn't pass this time... then i really have to have no life
