come love, see the earth spin,

my dog mickey got a hold to some gum in had in my purse, and like a dummy, i left it open on the floor and she ate like...4 pieces. the trident gum has an ingredient called xylitol, and it's lethal to dogs. it causes liver damage/failure.

so far, she's acting normal. we called the animal poison control and they told us what to do (we had to give her a mixture of yogurt and peroxide to induce vomiting), and we're slowly introducing food and water to her like we were instructed to do.

this is all my fault. i usually keep my purse zipped up, but this morning the garbage men came, and i had to run and get my keys to hepl my mom and i left my purse open. ;_;

we have to take mickey to the vet within 48 hours to get her liver levels checked. i really hope they're good.

although my dad is staying up all night to monitor her, i don't know if i'm going to be able to sleep well tonight.

p.s. i am coming down with something AGAIN. i swear, just two weeks ago i had a really bad cold, and now my throat is sore. wtf. i was sick in december-january too. this isn't good....

i am so mad that i'm being forced to go to an orientation for school. wtf? how are you going to hold my records just because i didn't look at a powerpoint slideshow for an hour? put that crap online, let me view it if i want, and be done with it.

i am a freakin' TRANSFER student. most colleges work the same when it comes to administration. i know how they work. wtf. I HATE YOU WRIGHT COLLEGE. *wants to punch something*

taking a #$%^ hour bus ride to sit in a room and look at a powerpoint for an hour. AN HOUR. i could be getting my english paper done right now. omg. i hate this....

psh i was about to do my english homework, and it's this like...report that we have to read that a student did and we have to fill out this worksheet.

i didn't even have to do that crap when i had AP english. wtf.

imma just skim through it so i can get my answers for the worksheet.

i swear, this class is like...ugh. so much tedious work. visiting a library's website and writing 2-3 paragraphs to analyze it? :/

of the spring semester. at a new school,, with a new major.
basically, i felt lost in all of my music classes.

my advisor didn't tell me there was an essentials of music theory (or something like that), otherwise i would've taken that instead of music theory 101. she put me in theory 101, and i was SO freakin' lost. the teacher was talking about triads and harmonic scales and intervals. i was just sitting there trying to hide my "wtf?" expression.

he asked the class who hasn't taken he first class, and i raised my hand. he said he'll put me in the lower level class if i want, but it'll be hard work if i stay in 101. i said okay, and yeah. idk. i think i'll be okay. i've been studying all the stuff i mentioned, and i'm starting to get it all. plus, this week will be review (and next week too? idk), so we'll see. i have a week to drop this class if i need to, and i haven't opened the book yet haha. so i can return it and get my money back if i need to.

piano was....interesting. the teacher is this lady from poland, and she had a problem understanding if we were saying D or G, F or E. i think it's because she's old. *Shrugs* so anyway, she went through the class and asked each of us our skill level (i said i know notes, but not on the bass clef, and i don't know how to play the piano), and so she started hitting keys on the piano, and the note on the staff on this lit display board would appear. this huge pole was in the way, so i didn't even know there was a bass clef at the bottom. so when she'd press a note down there, i would have the wrong number and she'd just keep hitting it. so i wa slike "wtf?" so now she thinks i'm dumb or i was lying when i said i could read music. :/

she even split up the class into the good people, and the ones who know nothing. i'm stuck inbetween, sigh.

english was okay. found out the topic of the class is famous chicago murders. definitely will be interesting haha. a 10 page research paper is due at the end. not too bad i don't think.

aural was okay i guess. didn't really do anything. seemed like a repeat of theory since it's the same teacher. we're apparently going to be singing in that class (gasp), but oh well. i think i'll be fine. my voice isn't great, but i don't hurt people's ears when i sing either. and there's like...12 people in the class, so i don't think i'll frak out too bad.

japanese....the teacher is a dry, little old man. i love how he introduced himself.

"i'm sandsy satsou and i was born in japan" *silence* *looks out at class*
XDDDD

he freaked everyone out when he said that we had to memorize the frst 15 hirigana by tomorrow for the quiz. i'm sure a lot of people are gonna be dropping that class. especially since we're gonna have quizzes every week. XD

it's definitely interesting going to a regular school versus SAIC. saic was so small and everyone was like art art art art, but where i am it's like art, medical, music, education, etc. and it's so many people too, and everyone seems to be more happy LOL. i think as art students, we get depressed being stuck inside studios for so long, haha.

so yeah. i think i'll be fine? pray for me ya'll. i need a perfect GPA to get into northwestern university if i choose to go there. idk about depaul.

man i finally found KBS world channel for chicago (it's channel 41 for anyone wondering). i was soooo happy LOL.
i remember watching the channel when i was younger at my grandparents' house in the den. i was about 7 when i started watching the dramas, all engulfed in them, not knowing what anyone was saying, but i kinda got the jist....

big mommy (grandma): sade, lunch is ready
me: okay big mommy. can i wait until the commercial? i just found out the lady was cheating on her husband!
big mommy: hahahaha okay baby. come into the kitchen when you're ready.
me: okay *concentrates on tv*

so today when i found out about KBS, i rand into my parents room to turn on the TV and through the fuzziness, i could see that that You Are My Destiny was on. i was like "OMG YAY" and ran into the living room to tell my dad. he was like YAY. hahaha.

i forgot to tell you guys, but one of my birthday presents was a tv tuner for my laptop so i can watch tv on my macbook pro~ yeah boyyyy.
so now i'll be able to watch all my korean dramas, house of payne, bernie mac show, king of queens, AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW, america's next top model (meh it's so bad now, but i'm addicted, lol).

sigh. i'm waiting for marlena to call me to see when we're going to dave and buster's tonight, but i don't feel like going now. it's almost 6:30pm, i'm in my pajamas, warm and comfy. i don't feel like getting dressed again and going out, being irritated by people. my energy has been drained. being an introvert sucks at times. no one understands the fact that i need a day off from people to regain my energy. D:

edit: THIS IS THE MOST EPIC SONG EVER. ALMOST 13 MINUTES? HECK YES. full of fusion jazz amazingness. check them out if you like herbie hancock and other jazz fusion folks. (this song is from grooveline's street vibes album)

i guess i can see it a little? i just think we smile the same. *shrug*

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :DDDD

i need to lose weight so bad. ;_;

i know i'm super late on this because i know people have been doing this forever, but i just made my first free ringtone online. eeeee now i don't have to buy ringtones anymore. it would suck when i got a new phone and my ringtones would be stuck on my old one. -_-;

(if anyone wants to know, i did it here: http://www.makeownringtone.com/)

*goes to make some more*

i just got home from personally witnessing the most important event in american history: obama becoming the 44th president of the united states.

i'm still on a high, it's crazy. all of chicago is going crazy right now. it's just so amazing.
