Before I knew it, summer's ending soon...! I'm not so sure if I'm mentally ready to go back to school yet...which is probably not a good thing. Hopefully we'll have enough time to adjust (although I kind of doubt it since we have an exam the third week of school). *sigh*
Well, I'm leaving for norcal tonight for a 2-week vacation! This is probably my first and only real vacation this summer break...definitely have worked more than enough these last couple of months. I knew it when I started waking up to feeling like I was scanning barcodes and filling prescriptions or making IV bags for patients... T_T
Anyway, this 2-week vacation is my chance to veg out and relax! When I come back, it's definitely time to get down and get ready for another year of STUDYING! >_____<

Happy 23rd Birthday to me...?! T_____T
I can't believe I'm 23...and worse? I had to work the late shift...blah! Well, I don't feel any older...don't know if that's a relief or what. --;;
On top of all that, I can't believe our summer is HALF gone! Where did the time go?! *sigh* I wish school would never start...why can't they just graduate me and give me my license now? >_____<

Work is good. At least so far, I'm liking what I see...everyday is different so it definitely adds more dynamics when I'm there. Not to mention everyone is nice! Only thing I can complain about is my pay...then again, it's a government job, so... --;; But really, I think the experience is worth it. =)
Going home this afternoon for the long weekend! ^^ Don't know what we're doing tomorrow for 4th of July, but I bought value pack tickets at the UCSD box office for the Del Mar Fair! Even though I've lived in San Diego for more than 10 years, I've never been...HMMM...yes, it's about time...ha ha. T_T

Yay! Finals are finally over...meaning I'm officially done with first year! I'm hoping I passed informatics & biochem...those two are the only grades I haven't found out about. Other than that, summer started this week officially...and what do I get to do?
WORK!!!!!
Yes, lovely...I'm pretty much working full-time this entire summer besides my 2 trips visiting Eric. I'm also hoping to start my research this summer, so we'll see how that goes! I have work at 6:30 everyday this week...it was SO painful waking up at 5:30 this morning...and I have to do it again...and again! T_____T (I have 6AM next Monday - UGH! *dies*)

Can't believe it's been another week! This quarter's just zooming by like crazy...although I think I'm ready for a long break from school already. =)
This weekend, we're going to VEGAS baby!!!!! I haven't been in 2 years...last time Eric and I went around this time of the year too...I wonder what it's like now. Kind of hard to believe it's been that long! (I still had my braces in my pictures!) T_T

Two midterms down...one more to go!
The move into the new house went pretty smoothly. I had to ask Robin's husband Michael to help us move because someone backed out on me at the last minute. =T Michael was SUPER...he was handling a lot of the furnitures on his own and we were all pretty impressed. (Us poor Asians with no muscles --;; )
At the end of the day, we've moved 98% of our stuff, so that was good. We went to Benihana for dinner as a "celebration," I guess. ^^;; We had the all-you-can-eat sushi buffet...it was pretty cheap considering how hungry we were & how much real seafood (that costs many times more than what we paid) we STUFFED ourselves with. >.<
Tuesday was biochem midterm...it went alright. I thought it was more straight-forward than I expected. Except it was LONG...I took pretty much the entire 2 hours to do it, while some people stayed there for FOUR hours! That's a bit ridiculous for only half a quarter's materials.
Anatomy was yesterday...it was okay...even more straight-forward than biochem. I think I'm borderline passing on the multiple choice, so hopefully the ID tagging part is going to average out to passing. =)
I have my CPR class tomorrow morning...then I'm going home! New home...for the very first time for real. ^^;; Sunday is the Carlsbad city fair...whee! I love going to those fairs and just check out the things they sell...and some of the food... =)
Next week, however, I have my very last midterm in pharmaceutics...yuck! Can't wait until we get it over with!

Yesterday for Dining Out for Life, where several San Diego restaurants (and over 2500 nationwide) donated 25% of their profits to AIDS service organizations. Eric randomly picked a restaurant off the list and we had a spectacular dinner!
We went to The Farm House Cafe down in University Heights. It was really random because it was just a tiny house restaurant on a street with houses all around...I would have never expected to find such a nice restaurant to be there.
It says they serve rusty country French cuisine. At first I thought the serving size would be tiny but it was actually perfect! (for me, at least)
We started with some rose wine, which was very light and didn't have an after taste...I liked it. ^^
For appetizer, we ordered the escargot risotto, which was delicious! It was my first time having escargot, but I was hesitant because the last time I had risotto, it kind of made me sick...but I'm glad we went with it because it was really good!
For entree, Eric got the sea bass and I ordered the duck breast...I liked mine better than the fish...ha ha. The duck meat was covered in this orange glaze with oranges and arugula on the side, which also came with potato au gratin...SOOOOO good!!!!! =)
It filled me up pretty well...I cleaned the plate...!!!!! T_____T I even had room to share a parfait dessert with Eric... ^_____^
So overall...I rate the place 5/5...mostly because it was the very first French place I went to and I have nothing else to compare with...and also the customer service was SUPERB! When we called, they said they were extremely packed for the whole night but probably can squeeze us in. When we got there, they immediately gave us a table, no questions asked. They were on top of getting water and bread to us and was very nice throughout the night.
Their bread was wonderfully good and their butter was at the perfectconsistency...I think the whole experience was so amazing that I just can't rate it any less than perfect...at least until I find a better place! ^^;;
I have 2 midterms next week...biochem on Tuesday and anatomy on Thursday...I should be freaking out since I have almost no time to study this weekend. T_____T

Yes, finally...an update with a brand new layout! Worked on it while I wasted an hour testing 2 ethernet ports...turns out they registered the wrong physical address for my machine. -_____-;;
Featured artist: Oguri Shun. Ah, yes, he is currently my idol star...since I've started watching more Japanese drama recently, I've discovered a new talent for my own entertainment... =)
So let's see what's been happening since mid-March...Eric came down earlier this month! First weekend was his dad's birthday so we went up to LA to celebrate. Then this past weekend was for celebrating Eric's birthday (Monday).
We met up with Lawrence yesterday and he gave me a quick lesson on driving a stick! It was SO exciting! I can finally now say that I can drive a stick (not very well, but capable)...ha ha. =P
Visiting LA again this weekend to see Fidelia & Loren! Then midterms start...yuck. >.<
Next weekend, we will be moving to our new house in Oceanside! Yes, we finally bought a place... =) Although I wonder how I'm going to find time to study for midterms and all that crap... T_T
