like literally none of them.
i feel very unpatriotic saying that...
does it make me less of a korean if i don't really care we lost?
i know being an american has no requirements so i'm not worried about that one.
ah wells. it's time to go to ikea and buy stuff. yay.

class started on monday
and i'm taking "genetics and society"
which i should have realized before would be boring, but i didnt.
IT'S SO BORING.
i sit there for two hours while an elderly woman (she's kinda silly, but mostly serious) talks to us about things i have already learned at least four times.
yes, humans have 24 chromosomes!
yes, cells are surrounded by membranes!
yes, DNA is double stranded (except in some viruses)!
argh.
this means, hopefully, that i will get an A in the course. but usually the classes that are easiest to me i take less seriously and therefore do poorly. but this time will be different~! i may complain and think it is simple, but i will actually read my textbook (which is Genetics for Dummies btw. that tells you the level of understanding we are expected to have of genetics by the end of the course...) and actually pay attention in class and actually take notes and actually do the problem sets etc.
my other class is all online, which is kind of a bad idea for me because i lose interest and get distracted... plus reading math textbooks is difficult.
in other news, i now have a mattress and can sleep in my own room.
i haven't eaten out ONCE since i've been here, which i am proud of, but that's probably going to change tonight.
i also finally got a parking permit. i should go check on my car later today to make sure i did it right and dont have like twenty tickets piled on my windshield. ergh that would SUCK.
and on one last unrelated note,
last night i slept for almost 12 hours. ktfo indeed.

NEW HOME
sorta.
it's weird now that everytime i'm hungry i have to actually think of something to make for myself instead of a place to go and get food.
hrmm.. so on saturday i drove up to berkeley by myselfffff
and that was scary and boring and long and tiring and made my back hurttttt.
and audrey helped me unload my car and get all my shtuffs upupup the stairs and into our teensie apartment, which, once we got more and more organized, looks less teensie.
the previous tenants turned this place into a shipwreck by the end of their three year stay; hopefully we will be better about neatness and cleanliness.
i'm on the right track though, spent a lot of time yesterday and today getting my stuff together. need to get a better system for my clothes tho. currently i have drawers for unmentionables, hangers in my closet for a third of my clothing, and the rest of it is just in a box on the floor of my closet. yay!
in the past twenty four hours i have driven around and around and around to all kinds of places for shopping and all that jazz.
went to target last night for a shower curtain so audrey could shower. then realized that we didnt buy the rings to attach it to our rod... so we had to go back in the morning. FAIL.
went grocery shopping whilst at target last night. and also at trader joe's this morning. grocery's are a lot cheaper than you'd think. i'm surprised it's so expensive to eat out all the timeee, just cook for yourself and save money!!
also tried to go to ralph's market... my gps took us to ralphs market. which was like a little liquor store type dealio. haha so we turned around
went on campus to go online, saw a dog being groomed in front of Dwinelle, came back and ate pasta, got internet, did a homework assignment for stats, picked up a friend from the airport, had in n out for dinner, came home and figured out wireless router business (audrey's a genius), and now i'm updating about my day!
hrmmm...
it's nice to have my own place to call home, but it' FRIKKEN stressful to remember about parking and whatnot. T-T
i hope i can get a permit to park in the street soon, because everywhere else is expensiveeee AND i have to move my car a lot otherwise. every two hours basically. *sigh*
ugh, and i have to think about schoooooool. ew.
i miss everyone already, can't wait for a visit! ^^

to do list
1. buy a mattress and box spring (and sheets to go with said mattress. find out if they can deliver to norcal)
2. convince my dad to buy me a GPS, because just cuz he didn't need one all his life doesnt mean that i'm not going to get hopelessly lost in Oakland one night and end up shot dead in a drive by
3. pack up all my clothes, books, my monitor for my desktop and all my other electronics, bathroom stuff (including towels), kitchen stuff, seasonings/spices that i plan on buying in socal cuz it's cheaper apparently (who knew), shoes, bags and other miscellaneous things and somehow make it all fit in my car.
4. NOT MISS my last two doctor's appointments (8:30am Wed. and 11am Fri)
5. find time to hang out with people who, for some reason, have been consistently flaky.
6. try to help with packing other stuff for my madre and not leave them saddled with all my crap that i want to keep but dont necessarily have room for up at b-town.
7. take a look at my stats hwk starting from wednesday... and try to understand and get it done early. dammit... i hate math.
8. sell my dad's guitars and amplifiers and chords and my old textbooks online.
9. do the laundry before i go up
10. find those 8 rolls of quarters my mom set aside for laundry purposes.
11. take a picture of myself that isnt ugly and make a print of it (for non-vain purposes trust me...)
12. cut my nails.
i'm sure there's more but i cant think of anything else right now.
