how can the search for an arche affect the way we actually live our lives? why might our conclusions have practical applications?

if the above title confuses you, such is my brain for an hour every monday, wednesday, and friday in my intro to philosophy and religion class. don't you just love heated discussions where the topic is whether a chemical reaction or electric spark happens in your brain before, during, or after a thought? yeahh...

so kristel and ghemie came to visit us college kids at sfsu today. thanks again for the pleasant..ahem..surprise, although i don't know if your intentions were pure. kidding. oh, and terry was this close to making nice with the clan of yu-gi-oh players who play in the basement by the stairs. he chickened out last minute. said he needed backup from the rest of the guys cause these dudes by the stairs were on a higher caliber. professional mats and all, say what?

haha, i love college.

i am not jeff

me: (bumps into friend) hey! how are you?
friend: hey, come meet my friend. monica, this is jeff. jeff, this is monica.
(so i was about to say, "hi, my name is monica" and then i realized she already introduced me, so i thought i would say, "hi jeff.")
me: hi, my name is...jeff???
jeff: what???
me: oh wow, i'm so embarrassed right now...hahaha (i laugh nervously, which kinda comes off as laughing crazily)
jeff: okay...
me: okay, gonna go get lunch. bye...

i don't think i can face jeff ever again.

glorifying college

i hate how crowded it was. i hate how everywhere i turned on the smoke-free campus, someone was lighting up or puffing away. i hate how i have to leave union city two hours before class starts in order to get decent seating.

but really, today was a great day. my first teacher is super sweet and had us do icebreakers, which may have been completely awkward, but hey, great way to make new friends. my second teacher is an avid gambler and die-hard giants fan and is absolutely hilarious. i had fun in class. i just think i have issues when it comes to being on campus but not actually in class.

teacher: i know a lot of you are trying to add into my class. if you're a graduating senior or a giants fan, you're first priority.
random girl: DODGERS!!
teacher: what did you just say??
random girl: you heard me!
teacher: are you trying to add into my class?
random girl: no, i'm already in this class. you're stuck with me.
teacher: i could always drop you.
random girl: well, in that case...
teacher: seriously, don't mess with me today, guys. i'm in a bad mood. after that game yesterday, i really feel like committing a hate crime.

yeah, that really happened.

riding boots

feeling pretty lame.

the idea of school makes me depressed. seriously. i want another whole month of summer. even my brother starts school after me. time to start hoarding summer memories.

workout inspired

ogorgeous mat bags for pilates and yoga

i know, i only signed up for unlimited yoga and pilates classes for a month. and i know, these mat bags are wayy out of my price range. but i can dream, can't i? very cute indeed, and the coolest part is, they are all the brainchildren of jackelyn's older sister, entrepeneur-extraordinaire, cassey. jealous, much? i am.

a day in the life...

my dog got into a little brawl with a skunk today and got her ass beat. twice. while it is such a bitch to get the smell out and it saddens me that she is stuck sleeping in the garage (i can hear her barking and whining from my room), i also find it utterly hilarious. if animals were able to talk, i'm pretty sure this is exactly how things would've gone down.

hershey: whoa, what is that? is that a skunk? hey, bitch, get off my yard. (runs up to skunk)
skunk: who you callin a bitch, ho? (sprays hershey in the face)
hershey: what the hell was that? (rolls around in the grass to get the smell out) muhhfucka, it's on! you think i'm scared of you? trampy-ass skunk. (runs up to skunk again)
skunk: (sprays hershey in the face again) shoulda learned your lesson the first time, bitch.

ATTENTION EVERYONE:

my best friend kristel now has a blog. go embrace it and all of its cheesy pinkness here.

kristel, welcome to the dark side. now who's next?
