one week before finals

Annapolis, M.D | photo by Bumbi

there will be no road trip this weekend and the following one!

homework and final reviews are killing me…arrr!

plus the weather is freaking crazy: 85 and up during the day and thunder in the night.

NO RAIN!

the 4th CHM exam, which covers the last 2 chapters of the book, starts at 9 on friday.

so i'm planning to spend at least 4-5 hours in tutoring session on wednesday, just right after i get out of HIS class. then i may go straight to work from 6 'til 10. thanks god, tony doesn't put me 6 hours on the wed's schedule. otherwise, imma dieee!

botany lab also has a final exam. however, it's kind of checking how well we've been doing so far. questions come from the previous lab quizzes, some microscopic displays, and diagram labels. i should study for it tomorrow when i get the 3th lab quiz back!

dang!

i feel like i'm running out of time!

goal for today is finishing all the homework in TRO's book.

i may print out worksheets and take a glance before going to the tutoring session tmr tho. it's all up to whether the melatonin level in my blood up or down tonight.

pizza planet

i just can't stop laughing when i imagine Hippo is racing his car on 210 Fwy to Palm Spring to deliver a hot and yummy pizza on time! i'm not sure whether he agrees to add Rex as "a toy that goes with the meal" or not, but it's probably a good idea!

:D

things i plan to do this summer

thinking about the 24th birthday which is held in Rolling Sushi always makes me super excited! really, it has been 4 or 5 years Hippo and I didn't celebrate a birthday together. I don't expect yellow roses or a huge cake with candles on my birthday, but a dinner with him in California this summer.

if everything happens as we've been planning, we'll have the dinner in August 11, exactly one month before my official day of birth! :D

since i have a tripod and a wireless remote controller for my EOS, a self-portrait for both of us on my birthday could be easily done. it'd be the first birthday picture we've ever had in California! yeyyy!

i'm also thinking that we may go to a LEGO store either before or after the dinner and grab the London Bridge set so that we could "build" the bricks all night long! it's supposed to be my birthday, rite? there's no reason we're gonna go to bed before midnite, except Hippo can't stand anymore and wanna do sth else! ^^

i often think about our long-distance relationship this way:

"just only […] months, and we're gonna be on a road trip, heading to […] and having fun under the sun!"

and trust me

it works

for more than 9 years!

phycist

dating a guy whose major in physics is a lot of fun!

first,

he always has a deep appreciation of science/technology.

second,

he never gives you a nerd question when you guys are discussing a bio-chemistry tissue. he basically knows what you are talking about :D

last but not least,

that nice, charming, sometimes-kind-of-weird guy may or may not tell you this, but he'd rather spend the whole life traveling and having fun with a funny, adorable, and BIG BONE biologist/ chemist than anything else.

(am i just pointing out someone's idea?)
