Hey everyone who reads this blog, as you can see I updated the template because I felt like it was time for a bit of a visual change. I like the new one, but now that you can change the format so easily, I'll probably do it more often. Oh, and now people can leave comments so please do.
Today, two of my classes were cancelled and I couldnt be happier. It's a great day. I went from super stressed out and ready to chop someone's head off with a dull kitchen knife if they even mentioned the word midterm in my presence to being totally relaxed and happy. I talked to my french teacher today and she said that I missed the midterm question that I was obsessing about because i was absent one day and that's when they went over it. The person I asked about the missed class didn't tell me that they studied it. oh well. But the professor was really cool and nice about it and indicated that I got the other ones correct so I feel so much better about it. YES, i am not a retard! i just can't ever miss class again and i should learn to go with my first instinct on questions because it's usually always right and then my mind fucks it up. I can't wait to get the test back though and see how I did on the rest of it. I've just been lounging for about an hour since my classes were cancelled. I have design at 2.
For my politics class, I have to attend some events going on Saturday at the site of the former Holiday Bowl. It was this bowling alley created in 1958 by Japanese Americans in Crenshaw and was a significant spot for racial issues and bringing people together throughout the 1960's. Unfortunately, it was torn down last year after a 3 year battle to turn it into a city landmark, but this weekend they are having speakers and forums going on in Crenshaw to commmemorate the building and the people involved. We are forced to go to two of these events and earlier in the semester when my teacher was talking about the project I was very unexcited about it. But the more and more I hear about it, I kinda am looking forward to going, hearing the lecture series, and meeting some people. Lately I feel like I'm living in my little bubble again because I don't really leave campus unless it's a school trip or something and I don't watch tv so I dont hear about anything besides campus news. it'll be nice to expand.
I'm looking forward to disneyland saturday. I'm not sure if they've redecorated the haunted mansion yet to be Nightmare Before Christmas, but either way it's fun. My mom, dad, and I always get caramel apples to take home. They sell them in that store over by the freaky Winnie the Pooh ride and I usually get the kind with all the chocolate and peanut butter on top. I'm in the mood to see the electric parade too. I especially like the little caterpillars and bugs floats that whirl around. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out next time youre at California Adventure. It is not to be missed, even though everyone seems to hate CA Adventure. I guess I could see how you wouldnt want to buy a day ticket for that park, but i like a few things over there so it's nice to have the park hopper season pass. Oh, i want to make reservations for Jon Brion. If you would like to go one friday night in late october/early november for dinner and the concert, please let me know so I can make reservations for everyone soon.

A comment section was long-overdue. All this talk of Disneyland makes me sad...except I don't miss the freaky Winnie the Pooh ride. Disneyland should trade that one for California Adventure's Soaring Over California ride.
if i am not mistaken, Haunted Mansion Holiday opens this weekend.
have a super time at disneyland and do update on the holiday bowl.
