sushi...
ok, so I've had a pretty busy weekend, ahhh, and it's only saturday night... but tomorrow morning after 7:30 am, it will all be over and I'll have a chance to resume to my normal weekend!!!

Oh, i was so busy cuz i had a recruit this weekend... that just means that a girl who is interested in coming here next year to row was staying with me for the past 2 days... it was a lot of fun, we got to go to nice restaurants and do fun little touristy stuff and even after living here 4 years, i still love doing that stuff!!!

but tonight!!! the 3 recruits, the 4 hosts, our 4 coaches and our team manager all went out to China Grille out on south beach. people have talked about going there before and how good it is, but i had never been there and never really thought much of it, just that it's really really expensive and it's in south beach so it's gotta be a special occasion ;)

ok, but it's "family style" i guess, so you order big huge "things" and just pass it all around and share... but with 12 of us that pretty much meant ordering pretty much everything on the entire menu (it seemed) and eating it all.... it was crazy.

the appetizers, the sushi (I'll get back to that), then the entrees, and then the desserts.... but it was literally sooo much food it was insane!!! but sooo good!!!!

ok, so to the sushi!!! now freshman year (3 yrs ago) i attempted to eat sushi one night when a few girls from my team dragged me out to "experience sushi" or something like that... well i think i had a California roll or whatever the "easiest" thing was and i was really about to spit it right up, i couldn't get over the chewy-ness. it felt like i was chewing on flesh, not like i ever did that, but i figured if i did, that's what it would be like...

so for the past 3 years i have stayed far far away from it... until tonight

and now is when i wish i had a camera phone or something... it was the most interesting looking thing, i just had to try it, only 4 ppl were eating it and everyone kept telling me to go for it... SO I DID!!! and IT WAS SOOO GOOD!!!! and they turned the lights down real low just in time so i really couldn't see the piece of salmon flesh covering it. but it was really sooo good!!! they were saying that that was the best sushi they have ever had so maybe i jumped into the good stuff too fast and really don't like normal sushi, but regardless, look what i have been missing all these years, I'm actually tempted to try out that all you can eat sushi place now!!!

just not tonight, I'm still pretty full from that dinner, yummy!!! and what do you know, all free!!! go recruits!!!

can you believe it, they just stick to your head... just like that!!! they are called "magneto" by nike, but don't worry, there are no magnets involved, which was my initial concern, it's actually adhesives that are used to stick these things to your head...

who comes up with stuff like this??? oh, its americans ;) hehehehe

lots of silly stuff at www.ideo.com from (e:ajay) 's post

maybe that's what i should try to do with my life, come up with little things like that... ;) no, noone would hire me for that either :( hehehehe

no, i dont wanna study
so i have this HVAC test at 12:30 today... it's 11:03 right now. i'm sitting in the classroom where i'll be writing this test. got here about 3 minutes ago in an effort to finally start studying, i figure if i sit here in this empty room i'll have to study, right??? WRONG!!! i can sit here and type about how i don't want to study for this test and that studying, like the rest of my morning thus far since i've gotten home from practice will be a waste of time... noone in this class has any idea what's going on. aparently its like thermodynamics, but come on now, you think i really remember or even understud that stuff in the first place??? blah... this sucks, i don't wanna do it... i could definitly go for a nap right about now ;) oh, the beauty of naps :) but NO!!! MUST STUDY!!! NOW!!! cuz the sooner i finish this test the more time i have to study/try to learn what is going to be on my construction management test at 3:30... hehehehehe, i love procrastinating:)

oh, and then triple birthday party tonight!!! Sez (20 today), Emy (19 yesterday), and Tash (20 tomorrow)!!! and he's not in the party but it's Danny's 22nd today too!!! lots of birthdays!!! Happy birthday to everyone else who was born around now!!!

I'm one sexy lady in my suit!!!
ha, you thought i'd have a picture of me in my suit with a title like that, or at least something right??? well NO, no picture today, that thing was off the second i walked in the door, especially the shoes.

oh yeah, sorry i couldn't make it to the night out thing, i had this career fair thing tonight that i needed to be all rested up for, hehehehe, jk.

now seriously, i have gone to soo many career fairs and the school ones usually only have like 3 engineering firms, but this one tonight was all engineering firms, all civil, architectural and environmental engineering firms... so you'd think i would have some luck finding a job right??? and come on, I LOOK SEXY IN MY SUIT!!! hehehehe, well actually i think i look like a man when i wear it, but come on now, its a suit...

but yeah, i was talking to all these people from these different companies and i really think i will never be able to get a job, ever... not that they are too hard, but first of all, most of the stuff really doesn't appeal to me, ie sewers and plumbing and roads and that stuff, but that's all they seem to want people to do...

but there was this one company that does stadiums and big buildings!!! now i would LOVE to do that stuff, that's what i got into this field for!!! but they didn't seem too nice, and were looking for people who have already taken (and passed) the FE and are ready to work... well i am taking it in April, but there are no guarantees on the whole passing thing... oh well, maybe they will take me on eventually, or some other cool company will, or I'll just get a job flipping burgers or something.... "would you like fries with that??" or now maybe, "would you like a salad with that???"

but come on now, i look so sexy in my suit ;)
