| Is it just me, or does no one want to hang out this winter break? Maybe I missed the big wave of people. hmm.. maybe I should just go back to work sooner. I spend too much money when I'm at home in LA anyways.
Oh... and Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Merry Kwanzaa!! Happy Hanukah! :)

| New York was very "interesting".
The Good... TONS of shopping!! Fifth Avenue, Chinatown!! wooo Good pastry desserts and dim sum in Chinatown. Little Italy has gelato (almost as good as the real Italy)! 
The Bad... The city is very cramped and extremely dirty. Lots of panhandlers on the subways. Sales tax is 8.375% 
And the Ugly... Everyone smokes and drinks Starbucks. New York dogs poo anywhere they feel like it. So you might be stepping into poo on the sidewalk. Our hostel had rats and our bathroom smelled like someone was doing weed *gag*!!! 
So I got back Thursday afternoon. I ended up not going to Vegas for the weekend. I'm still in EST zone. I go to bed at 7pm and wake up at 3am... so bad. I went to NY this winter break to look into NYU for grad school. They have a Master's program for my major. On Monday we met up with the assistant dean and the director for the program. They gave us a tour of the whole campus. It required A LOT of quick walking around the whole city of Manhattan. Their colleges are all spread out!! I'm glad I did get a chance to visit this year. I've learned a lot about the city. I love the program and the people in it. I just don't exactly like the city itself. Housing will be impossible to find and the cheapest will be around $1500/month. Cost of living there is just ridiculously expensive. There are no grocery stores, only deli's, and it seems like everyone eats out. Fresh produce is extremely rare. And if there is, it'll go bad the next day. Rooms are tiny and I feel clastrophobic. Lots of rats and things nibbling at my Clif Bar. It will be a very difficult and important decision next year if I choose to go with NYU or even UCLA.
Places I went to in NY during my 4 days there: Grand Central Station, Juniors: ate burger and their famous cheesecake, Lincoln Center (almost saw Nutcracker), Time Square, Bryant Park- ice skate, New York Public Library, Central Park, Empire State Building, World Trade Center, NYSE, Wall Street, Bull statue, Trinity Church, Staten Island Ferry- saw Statue of LIberty, Brooklyn- went to Girmaldi's for famous pizza, shopping on Fifth Ave, Bloomingdales, Macy's, Saks, Rockefeller Center, Washington Square, Chinatown, Little Italy, had kebab and gyro at a sidewalk stand, Metropolitan Museum of Art, St. Patrick's Cathedral, World of Disney Store, M&M store, Build A Bear, H&M, J.Crew, Apple Store, and many gift/souvenir shops haha
I've finally gotten this horrible cold that I've been suppressing since finals. It finally got me and I think I gave it to my Mom too. :T So I'm just staying home for now and relaxing. Only one more week of vacation and then I have to head back to SLO. boo. 
Hope everyone is having a nice holiday! Take care! Love you guys all!! :)

| So I finished my finals on Wednesday at 1pm. I got back home Thursday at 12noon. I went shopping yesterday ALL DAY at 3rd St.! Urban had shirts for $5!!! I got a J.Crew dress for $80! =\ Might return it and get the $100... haha Today, I went out with Deanna and Cheryl and we went to Century City. I went to J.Crew, again, and got a tank top for $5 and a nice cable sweater for $50!! And they give student discounts!!!  aksdhkahsdkjashdk I never knew about this nonsense!! It was good. I fly out tonight to NY with Carol. I'll be there til Thursday. I fly back into LA Thursday afternoon. The next day I'm going to Las Vegas (not Louis Vuitton) with my parents and bro. I'll be back late on Sunday and going to a Christmas Eve dindin with family. Then, Monday I need to recoup from all the crazy travelling. Tuesday, I'm going shopping again!! And in the evening I'm going with my aunt to see Edward Scissorhands at the Ahmason Theatre! I have to come back to SLO on Jan 3rd. Break is just too short. But I am glad I get to go everywhere for break!!! :D I can't wait to ice skate in NY!!! ohhhh soo excited!! hehehe Happy Holidays everyone!! :)

| food coma
| | a state of uncomfortableness and drowsiness caused by overeating, esp. of unhealthful food |
| Example: | A food coma is often brought on by too much starchy intake. |
I think think I ate a little too much tonight. hehe Sorry for all the weird fonts on this entry. I can't remember what the original setting it was at.
Anyways, my vacation pretty much ends here. I have to leave at 6am. Why am I not in bed sleeping?
I can't believe it's September already. It just hit me today. I saw a huge word, "September" in bold right in my face. It is shocking and in 15 days I start school. I seriously hate work. Why do I hate work? It's because every job we get isn't the same as the one before. Each file has a billion gajillion problems. Each client doesn't understand our workflow. Not all the managers work as a team, so some of us have to pick up after the lazy ones. And we all put in more hours than that is required. But half the time it's the machines/computers we have in our office that aren't making us very efficient. We need faster computers with more memory. It's just ridiculous. So luckily, I still have the key to my old job (across the hall). And let's just say I do what I need to do to get the job done. hehe shhh And my job doesn't end until June (whenever school ends), 2007. bahhh I'll just be counting the days. I'm ready to travel some more. I wish I didn't have to work. I wish someone could just support me and let me travel full time!!  I'm not currently reading, but I want to get my hands/read that book below!!
I'm about to pass out right now. Goodnight!!
