Hellen's dad passed away on monday morning. my heart goes out to her...

i can't take work anymore. it's suffocating. well, i prolly feel that way because i had thai food for lunch and i feel so full i need to sleep. JD can't work out again tonight because he has a work thing. i'm so relieved because now i go home and sleep. ah sleep.

so i'm applying to USC for early decision. i hope i get in. i find out october 1. if i'm granted an interview.

i finally talked to Darlene last night! i called her on the regular line, so it was some ridiculous amount per minute, but i didn't care. i called her at 8pm my time, and i thought it was a 10 hour difference, but it was only an 8 hour difference. 4am she gets a call from me! but we hadn't talked in months so i don't think she cared. then i had a brilliant idea of running to the gas station to get a calling card. i go the one next to my place but they didnt' have any and sent me to a place ''2 blocks away." it was actually a good 1/2 a mile there, so i ran (in my flip flops) and bought 2 calling cards for $5 each. i run back home and call her, and was informed i should have 30 minutes to talk. after 8 minutes i run out of time. WHAT!? so much for that. the second card was even shorter. i gave up and just called her for an HOUR AND A HALF with the regular phone. oh well. totally worth it. we chatted and chatted (remember it's 4am for her) until i had to go to sleep (which i didn't get to do anyway). but now we finally have the right emails for each other and we can keep in touch that way. we've also decided we're going to talk on the phone at least once a week.

JD calls me at 10:30 and wants me to go out cause it's his roommate Janine's birthday. she's cool, so i go. she's crazy. she's a nonstop talker, even worse than i am. JD tried to take pics of us, but in every pic, Janine either looked pissed or i looked stoned (the flash was too bright so i couldn't keep my eyes open!). we couldn't do it and gave up. Janine ran off to be social and JD and i got into this discussion about relationships and what not. 12:30 rolls around and i'm practically falling asleep at the bar. on the way home JD gets in and out (funniest thing. we were originally supposed to go to sushi for Janine's bday dinner. she takes so long getting ready. i get a text from JD that he's eating triscuits and cheese. soooo funny). finally get in bed around 1 something and am out like a light.

so fun times - Jolene and Shirin are visiting me next weekend! i can't wait! i've never had both of them visit, so it should be a blast!! there's this park across the street from me that's kind of a Mexican park cause there are a lot of Latina people that go there. it's awesome because the people with the carts of food are everywhere. HY and i went on saturday and we had a full mango with lime, chili, and salt. sooo good. and he also had elote, which is corn with mayo, parmesean cheese, and chili. for a buck. awesome. i think Jolene would love that.

so Karen, Linda can't get us the hotel for Vegas anymore. we need to find our own. and i don't know if she's able to go. her mom was supposed to get the hotel, but her mom is unexpectedly leaving for iran. i'll look today to see what i can find...
