work it

As these "poor unfortunate souls..." went off to tech this week, I took the other path and went back to CIBA Vision where I co-oped last summer. I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet. For one thing, it was quite easy to slip back into the groove of things, easy to pick up where I left off and just continue as if I had never left (scary!). And another, well, it's just very far off. It feels like another world away from tech. Hrm, I remember at GHP they used to refer to it as a bubble, I suppose it's like the same thing.

I started cooking for myself, well, two days in a row at least. Yesterday I improvised corn(!) chowder and today I made mac and cheese(!). Mmmm, I love mac and cheese. And corn. Sigh, it tasted alright. It just didn't look very good, too much yellow. I felt kind of sorry for myself today because I had to eat leftover corn chowder for lunch and then my mac and cheese for dinner and realized that if this is what it's going to be like for me in the summer, well, I guess there's no need for me to try losing weight. Hehe, just kidding. But yeah, it's an interesting experience.

I've been hanging out with Sonica more, or I guess for a day I did. We went to Borders and watched 'Definitely, Maybe.' Oh, and this was spurred on because I saw a cool book title, "He's Just Not That Into You." Which made me really curious and want to kind of ... test my guy friends. I want them to read some of these chick novels that interpret, "what guys think" and tell me if that's really how guys think. Hehe. But then (after discussion with Sonica) that there are different kinds of guys, some of them with the mindset more of a girl and well, hrm, those are probably the guys I'd ask to read those books anyway. Dead end.

Anyway, maybe for my 'ideal guy' spiel I'll also find movies with amazing guys (aka Jim Caviezel(!), Gerald Butler(!), Aladdin(!), ... shrug, who else, I don't know, and I'll just write what I like about them. Yeah, we (high school gals) watched The Count of Monte Cristo(!) over break so I'm all about Jim Caviezel right now. Not really, but I do like him.

Hm, what else did I want to catch up talking on.

OH - I went shopping at Kroger with my mom and dad today. That was kind of fun. My dad's so silly sometimes. He pulled his hoodie up tight over his head because it was cold outside and then he asked me if he looked pretty (he might have fluttered his eyelashes at me) and I looked him straight in the eye and said something in Chinese equivalent to, "No, you look like an ugly old man." And my mom laughed. Aw. [Ok, it doesn't sound nearly as amusing writing it down, maybe you just had to see my dad.] Aw, my dad. And to think, he doesn't know I'm writing about him ... (heh). I wonder if he's even thinking about me right now, or knows I'm thinking about him! I wonder if anyone's thinking about me? :P


OK - time to go to bed. I've been waking up late for worke veryday, I get in around 9:20-30am (which is kind of sad because I timed my commute today and it was ~6 min. Sigh. I'm supposed to start the semester off at 9 and then slip into 9:30 later on. Oh no what's going to happen to me if I start off at 9:30? LUCKILY I found out yesterday that since I have to work 8 hours a day, that I get a 30 min. lunch and 2 15 min breaks paid for. I NEVER knew that! I vaguely remember them mentioning that when I was at Kohl's but wow, now I just leave early. Heh, or well, the same time as I used to even though I come in late. Well, win some and lose some.

Night fellas.
