february

february is almost over but strangely i can't seem to remember anything happening at all. either the month was totally uneventful or my memory is deteriorating. maybe it's both. valentine's day my dad bought me flowers - a single rose and two carnations with a note "to my dear vivian" attached. there are ten more days, but i'm thinking that that just might be the highlight of my february.

first round of midterms down. pleasant surprise: i actually aced my calculus midterm. not so pleasant: one mo-fucking point away from an A for theater design. how annoying. and really not too well on my econ. still waiting to hear on my religious studies paper (which i have an ominous feeling about) and my theater presentation. my partner and i felt totally juvenile, as we sat on the floor with glue sticks and construction paper. weren't poster board projects over with in grade school???

agenda for this weekend:
- kim chen down from berkeley
- haircut
- fish tacos
- lacma (not only have i been meaning to see the vanity fair and german expressionism exhibits for quite some time, i also have to write an essay on an art piece for design class...)
- valentines DAY with my bestie (can we get pho? i want hot food.)
- i just want to stay warm (i feel like i've been cold for three days straight.)

shit

i'm falling behind in school work.
not good.

i feel like i'm on some psycho nonstop treadmill - the workload's piling up and i'm running and struggling to stay on top of it all. the situation is definitely not looking very favorably right now...

time to play a serious game of catch up!

ps: i finally watched slumdog millionaire over the weekend. i'm not sure what it was about the movie, but i was completely emotionally overwhelmed. emotionally overwhelmed as in i cried three times. highly recommend.
