last night pam, dino, and i met up with my friends from riverside at Medieval Times in Buena Park. I had so much fun and learned the hard way that mixed drinks: NOT the way to go for me….ugh. i felt soooo sick. after 3 “maiden’s kisses” we were freakin GONE. i remember cheering for our knight, the black and white knight, and the dumb bastard was the first to die!!! we had the BEST cheering section too, complete with standing, screaming, cheering, booing, and miscellaneous chinese girl that paid way too much for her royal section flag!! but, we lost. i think there was more excitement going on in the ladies restroom during our bathroom break. but i had a blast. and it’s always great seeing my friends from riverside. i love them so much. despite the fact that i haven’t had a chance to really hang out with them this semester, they’re still the most awesome friends that keep me laughing and give the BEST hugs in the world. can’t wait for a sushi night sometime soon…pictures to follow shortly.
posting this on a saturday night when i should be pretending to study for my class on monday DURING MY SPRING BREAK. so i guess ill keep it short. and why lie, im going to read everyone else’s blog, chat with pam, call dino, myspace stalk, watch tv, and eat something i shouldn’t in the kitchen before i even open my book tonight.

GEEZ. my prof wasn’t kidding…this is getting harder each day. and i’m only on day 4!! it’s kind of ridiculous how little time i spend reflecting on the things i appreciate most in life. and im trying really hard not to get to that “the green grass and the majestic mountains” stage of this exercise when it all starts going downhill from there… but i have found that this exercise is a nice way to filter out my stresses for the day and get me back on a more positive track. yay for self-management and positive psychology.
