the real world

i think im finally getting used to west coast time! i woke up at 11:30 today. woo hoo. hahah

i've been trying to be productive. today i:
-registered @ mesa
-registered to vote
-called up southwest about a credit card that i signed up for but that i didn't realize i signed up for (i thought i was just signing up for a free t-shirt and some free credits - this was at the las vegas airport); ended up switching over and signing up for a chase freedom credit card. woo hoo. i also learned a lot about credit cards. such a nice man that helped me on the phone. he was explaining apr, credit, finance charges, membership fees, and more!
-did some more research on credit, especially since im gettin mo' credit cards!
-looked at mcat classes w kaplan- i think im going to start in october and take the mcat in january
-learned about investing - particularly, Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs which was inspired after the conversation i had with brian and daddy over PHO!!!
-went bikeriding with brian in the neighborhood
-tried to cook dinner with chicken, tofu and vegetables - i failed!

oooh, i also talked to jesse today! oh how i miss him. he's only in town for 2 weeks and then it's off to his consulting job in NY. oh boy. everyone's getting on with their lives...

AS AM I! i'm so happy at home. :) it's so nice to have so much time to explore things and learn about things and figure stuff out. good times!!!

have you heard the new song by rihanna n maroon 5 - if i never see you again. it's so bizarre. i first saw it in papua new guinea on EmTV lol. anyway, the lead singer of maroon5 is pretty darn fine.

did i also mention that my laptop kinda died on me? yeah. it won't turn on. i'm pretty damn sad. i'll try and see if i can save what's on the harddrive. balls you know? all my pictures from europe and from my recent trip are on there. balls.
