frustrations.

wow, it's been a while since my last post.

on friday, I had my usual shwarma sandwich from ayola in san francisco and ordered the small. to my delight I got a large! that was pretty exciting.

I tried to go shopping for my sister's birthday present but it was unsuccessful. nordstrom rarely disappoints, but this time it did. they had nothing. I looked for myself too and it didn't work out. the 34 size jeans there ran too small. I looked ginormous.

I took bart back. luckily, I didn't have to wait long for the train to get there. I transferred at 12th street oakland. I got on early before the scheduled transfer train arrived. It was pretty empty, save for one person sitting on the very inside of each of the rows. When the first man walked in, he chose to sit next to me. now this may sound sad and cheesy, but I felt it to be a compliment that he'd want to sit next to me. I mean, I'm big and I know that I take up a lot of space, but he probably thought I was friendly looking. I felt like he was my friend. I like when people choose to sit next to me when they have a choice, even if it makes it uncomfortable for the long ride. thanks stranger.

When I got back, I ran into an old "friend" at the bus stop. I say "friend" in quotes because she de-friended me on facebook. I wouldn't have said anything, but she called my name and even gave me a hug. we chatted it up and I was happy to see her, even if she clearly dislikes me.

Saturday, I cleaned the gross apartment with ferris. It was terrible, and is probably the last time we'll do a heavy cleaning again. I'm glad it's all over.

I had a chocolate donut from safeway. this makes up for not being able to sample the ones for caldining.

I went to wendy's this weekend too and ordered the single with cheese and no mayo (fries too). I also had to place a special request for a tomato slice because there seems to have been a shortage due to the weather in florida. no biggie.

I get the burger and open it to realize that there is no cheese! I was pissed. I took a bite anyway though. I went back to the counter and told them there was no cheese. they asked to look at it (and never gave it back! why, I don't know since they'll probably throw it out. I regret not asking it back now.) they did give me a replacement. I walked back to the car, and when I opened it, there was no ketchup, mustard, or tomato. bitch messed up again! I HATE the incompetent workers at this broadway location because all they seem to know is shit. messing up every time.I am also frustrated because I suck at data sets. I have to work on this big one (246 entries -- big for me) for my thesis, but I'm very slow at entering data (the percentage of minorities in a 1 mile and 10 mile radius). granted, the website is slow too (that's where I get the data from). My results and discussion for my thesis is due next monday and I am screwed. there's so much work to do and I can't seem to get it done.

I'm also working on my post bacc applications. It's taking me forever and I have to submit them asap. I'm really scared that I'm not going to get in. ehhh...

watched the oscars and the amazing race yesterday whilst enjoying trader joe's chicken tacos-- it was good.

I'm also having this problem where I shop online to get my mind off of stuff I need to do. sorry ferris, but I bought a pair of shoes. (thanks in advance kim for letting me use your address. again. I swear though that you don't have to pick it up, I will.) These kicks are retro and go with anything. according to gq, one can even wear it with a dressed down suit. I'm pretty excited because I wanted a new pair of black shoes (although it was a tossup whether I should've gone with white.) Last purchase though, I promise. (I'll think of it as a birthday present to myself. Though I also want to buy stocks...and a new watch) I do have 365 days to return it, so that's not bad. I checked my statement today, and it is a string of minuses. It's both scary and sad. suze orman would not be proud. she would tell me "DENIED," had I entered in her "Can I afford it?" segment. instead I should be walking into the night with a Roth IRA (her analogy, not mine). I vow to start one soon. I really fear that I'll end up in a low paying job, living at home, and watching tv alone for the rest of my life (though I do like tv as we all know).


I'm dying to watch tv right now. I have to miss all my monday shows today, due to the load of work I have to do. I'm submitting my sfsu app tonight! I also am at season 3 of mad man. I have been been done with season 2 for a while now, but didn't start 3 because I know once I do, I won't be able to stop.

on the girl scout cookie update: still on the first package of trefoils, but more than halfway into the second row of samoas. I need a refill stat.

finally polished off my tempting trail mix.

shout out: thanks kim for intercepting my sunglasses! sweet shades, if I do say so myself.
