All over the place

I have this thing for accumulation. I like accumulating things. I guess I'm a bit of a pack rat-ish? But anyhoo, I went to B&N the other day with Evans, and being the Asian I am, I sat down in the cookbook section and flipped through this one cupcake recipe book, and wrote down the recipes that I liked. What's the point of buying the entire book, if I'm only really interested in a few of the recipes? Haha, that and I'm broke. I have to stop spending money. Last night, my mother came into my room and demanded that I write down all the purchases I've made since I've gotten home for break. She then proceeded to lecture, nag and yell at me. It wasn't very pleasant. And I felt uber bad. And fat. I've been spending a lot of money on eating out and food. Man, I need to stop. It's going to be all about going to the gym when I go back to school. I hope. I'm so bad with keeping up with working out. I suck at consistency.

Anyhoo, I just finished reading The Namesake. It was such a good book. Now I need to watch the movie, but I already know that it won't be as good as the book. Movies can never match up to the original text. The Notebook is a good example. I thought the movie was a disappointment. The book was so so so much better and more profound. I'm picky. I swear, I'm like the only girl who didn't love the movie. But seriously, I didn't see anything that great about it. It didn't move me to tears or anything. Whatever.

I'm pretty proud of myself for finishing the book. I usually take a really long time to finish books; that or I never finish. But I started this book when I got back from and finished it yesterday. I haven't read a book for leisure in awhile. I forgot how much I love delving into books and losing myself in a new world. Mmm, I need to make more time in my life for leisure reading.

I hate packing. It's such a pain in my butt. I have so much crap and I always manage to forget stuff at home when I go back to school. I'm so absentminded, oy. I'm a bit afraid for when I graduate and have to move back home. I'm going to have so much stuff. My room can barely fit me and my stuff as it is. I seriously need a larger room. I live in a walk-in closet.

Finals, finals. When will it finally be over?

I am dreading tomorrow. Why? Because I have to take two finals, one after the other. I'm currently feeling very under the weather. I think I caught a cold or something like that. I'm exhausted. My sleeping pattern has been out of whack for the longest time. There is one thing to be thankful for though, I don't have any final papers to write! They're all over and done with. I just need to survive tomorrow and Tuesday, and I'll be home free! Speaking of which, I should study for my history final right now, since I don't know ANYTHING and I didn't even finish reading the book that we're supposed to have read for the final. Oytothevey. I should care more, but I think I've gone beyond that point. I just want to get it all over with. That's all I really want. This semester wasn't a very good one for me. It bothers me, but at the same time, I'm just too tired to care. I'll try harder next semester. I promise. I'll try extra hard. Next semester is going to be insane. I'm involved in so many activities and classes, I don't know if I even have time to sleep. It's going to be crazy, but I'll manage somehow. I hope.

I went to B&N last night with Cindy, Dan & Oronde in the middle of the snow storm. Yeah, we're crazy like that. First, we went to Cold Stone's for ice cream and then we went to B&N to hang around. It's become an annual trip. We went last year too, for ice cream and then books and also during a snow storm. What can I say? We like to live life on the edge. There's quite a bit of snow outside, but not nearly as much as we had all expected. The weatherman lied. Supposedly, we were going to get hit with over a foot of snow last night and this morning. Well, that didn't happen. Honestly, I was fairly disappointed; I was hoping the large amount of snow would somehow cancel my finals and the professors would just give us all A's. Moahahaahaaa, I WISH. I amuse myself with my ridiculous imagination.

Anyhoo, I bought my first cookbook (The Bon Appetit Cookbook) last night when we went to B&N! It's HUGE and I love it! I was going to get Nigella Express, but opted to buy the Bon Appetit one because the two books were the same price, but Bon Appetit had a lot more recipes. I'll get Nigella's book some other day. I ain't made out of money yo. But, yeah. I'm really excited. There are already a couple of recipes I want to try once I get home. HAHA, I am so pumped. I'm really looking forward to this. I'm such a loser. Sometimes I think I'd do a pretty good job as a housewife. Both Justin and Eric have commented that my future husband is going to be very lucky because I'm so domesticated. Hahaha, oy. It may be nice, but it won't bring home the bacon because I doubt my domesticity is going to land me a spot on The Food Network as the next Rachel Ray or Nigella Lawson, harhar.

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MY FINALS ARE OVER. My head is about to explode. And I really feel like crap right now. I wish I was as productive as the Aja Tiger on my iGoogle homepage.
