anyway, i went to julian today with ava and william! julian is northeast of san diego up in hte moutnains. it was pretty neat..an old miner's town. it's famous f or apple pies, especailly in winter -apple season! - and so we waited in alonggg line at mom's pies and picked up 4 apple pies! woo hooo. after that we drove down to san diego and they dropped me off at the restaurant and i worked till about 9. then i came home and showered! =) oH and i cancelled my reservation for the MCAT. i was originally going to take it at the end of this month...but i chickened out. so i'm taking it in april =) well i gotta reapply for the FAP program and then i can register..*sigh*

yesterday was new years day! what did i do? hmm..i woke up suuper late..watched some football..took a nap. harold and niikki woke me up and we all went up north because ava and william were planning a new year's party!!! we stopped by the carlsbad outlet because nikki wanted to go to the D&B store. the party was awesomeeeee. william made korean bbq. sooo deeeeeeelicious! and cousin jenny and danny and their kids were there! it was pretty bombbbb. we watched monsters inc and played scrabble! =) good times. i decided to just spend the night there. i watched 'the curious case of benjamin button'...and then fell asleep.

new years eve! - it was a wednesday. i met up with peter alan and SIROMAAAA (who i ahvent seen in like 5 years) and we at at IHOP. it was fun catcvhing up..siroma was a lot weirder and goofier than i remember but he's all big and buff and tall now. good for him. afterward, i went to volunteer at the hospital! it was pretty fun hanging out and talking to people. there are som regulars who know who i am and i got some happy greetings which was pretty awesome! i ahd a lot of fun. =) after that, i came home, showered, and rang in the new year watching project runway and top chef..then i watched robbie kanevil (sp?) jump of the volcano at mirage in vegas..pretty neato! then i waited for annie to come over but she didnt so i fell asleep on the floor..somehow ended up on the couch. =)

tuesday, day before new year's eve! the mornign was a blur..i think i was trying to study, but i got a call from john and he said he'd be home, so i went over to their house. we watched get smart and ate lots of fooood. annie and kris made lots of baby cupcakes which i gobbled down. then we did a gift exchange and i gave annie n john their gifts and they gave me my extra gift. what a party! it hink they liked my aewsome gifts because i totally put a shitload of time into them, and i totally love the stocking w/my name on it and my book on hairstyles. good times. then i hung otu at their house for the rest of the day...annie and i made atrip out to mcdonalds to get the 20pc chicken nuggets and french fries...i read my hair book..she played starcraft..then at tnight we watched 'pride and prejudice' and 'city of angels'. i liked pride and prejudice. i never read the book but the movie was good. i'm sure the book is loads better. =) city of angels kinda creeped me out cuz nicolas cage seemed like a stalker throughout the entire thing..it coulda been a horror in my opninon...the music was eerie too. :D
