Random #2

I'm home! :) I'm thinking...time for a Thanksgiving vacation, yay!! :D But...reality says otherwise. I actually attend a UC school so I'm on the quarter system which means time to start studying for finals and cramming information that I should have memorized earlier. I also have to work on a powerpoint presentation for my geography discussion. Sigh~ I think most UC students (minus Berkeley and Riverside...or was it Merced on the semester system?) have a love/hate relationship with the quarter system. They love the fact that the quarter goes by in a matter of 10 weeks...but at the same time, there's more to learn and study in that short amount of time. And just because a quarter is only 10 weeks doesn't stop professors from throwing in the copious amount of midterms, papers, and finals! Ugh! But! I still appreciate the fact that I have the chance to take courses in a greater array of subjects (with the exception of my major and minor classes) in comparison to those in a semester system. So, it looks like Thanksgiving Break will end up being study time. I guess that's fine with me since we won't be having the large family Thanksgiving this year...we're putting that off to Christmas cause my grandma's sick :(

Regardless of whether or not we have that Thanksgiving dinner, I'm still thinking of making some cornbread soon...I've been REALLY craving some of that corn-bready texture for a few days but someone (aka Brother Cho) ate all the corn kernels :( But, on a lighter note, my mom bought some canned corn...so I guess I'll have to make do with that~ haha :) So please look forward to that post soon, tehe :D

Anyways, it's been super cold in SoCal as I mentioned in the previous post. Today I had to take the bus home and I missed it by probably like 1 minute (I saw it leaving!)...so I had to wait 45 minutes in the windy and gloomy weather. Someone save me!! :( haha! So I came home and had a cup of tea and now I'm super warm :) So before I go, I just wanted to share with you guys some of the pictures I've been taking recently.

After all the wax melted. I love the simplicity of this picture yet it brings back a lot of different memories.


A glimpse of my desk after it's been cleaned, cleaned, cleaned! I can't seem to get rid of all those dolls though! I've had them for too long.


After studying, it's time for a treat!


Plants in my front yard. I think these are absolutely beautiful! :)


If you haven't already tried these, please give them a try! So yummy! :) I'm a sucker for ice cream :(


I love the leaves after the rainfall :)
