waking up early to go to work feels so awkward. i worked from 5:30-12:00 today, and i know i was awake at 4:00. i can hardly remember anything i did this morning except grab a surprisingly delicious peanut butter powerbar. working at starbucks is relatively fun; the time goes by quickly and pretty much 99% of the customers are all really nice. there are; however, a lot of nasty guys who hit on me and they all ask me if i'm chinese. it's so uncomfortable. some guy held up the line today and made 6 people wait because he kept talking to me. aside from that, my co-workers are cool, i feel like a pro barista, i have at least 10 regular customers, and getting extra cash in tips is always fantastic. i'm so tired i can't even think about doing anything but going to sleep.

as i'm writing this, i'm talking to my friend saurabh (who's leaving for carnegie mellon in a week) and in retrospect, i regret not hanging out with my friends from school more this summer. if i had used my time more wisely, i wouldn't complain, but all i've done this summer is rock climb, work, and sit around. i wish i had put off moping around until september. by then, everyone would have already left for college and i'd be one of the few left behind. my mom harasses me every night about being unproductive, going out too much, and coming home too late. i argue with her about it, but i have to admit i haven't spent much time this summer at home or with my parents.

after hours of listening to my mom complain and whine about my undeclared major, i've come to a (tentative) decision to major in biology and later on enter nursing school. i plan on double majoring and doing something like economics, but i haven't decided. plus, i suck at econ.

davis starts at the end of september; and as much as i love fremont, i'm ecstatic to head over there. although i was terribly homesick during summer advising, i'm pretty confident that once i move in to my dorm room, i'll be fine. i am taking general chemistry, calculus for biology, self and society, and a freshmen seminar about telugu. (if you don't know what telugu is, i don't either, so look it up on wiki.) i wish davis would tell me who my roommate will be so i could look her up on facebook already.

besides all this, i've lost a lot of weight and gotten a teensy bit taller so...hurrah! my goal is to lose the fifteen before i actually become a freshman.

city beach now has a 3 month summer special for 99 dollars and i think i'm going to sign up for it. i went with eddie yesterday to livermore to a camping store and he bought me a harness. god has blessed me with such amazing friends, honestly.

i've been all over the place this week. i went to berkeley on spare the air day (monday), stayed over at inning's place, came home, then drove to berkeley the next day. i went to valley fair on thursday to look for birthday presents (that was completely unsuccessful), and finally i went to stanford and livermore yesterday.

i'm stoked to finally start working and so i'm guessing the rest of my summer is going to be pretty much working at starbucks, rock climbing, prayer meetings, and i predict constant visits to the pool while wilson is working.

aww toffee actually looks slightly cute right now

so i'm sunburnt on my back because i went swimming on wednesday.
i also have a weird farmer's tan and a tank top tan.
i'm going rock climbing tomorrow and i went on monday.
i went to sf today because it's spare the air day so i think all public transit was free. we walked around the pier and went to the farmer's market.
i'm reading a really good book called abba's child; unfortunately, it is the most abstract piece of literature ever so i read donald miller on the side when i can't keep up.
i watched nelly furtado peform promiscuous on nbc today this morning and she isn't that hot but she has a lot of attitude and style it makes her pretty sexy.
i feel slightly guilty for saying that i really like the song. :\
it's only been a week since i graduated!

after going to church this morning, i came home to have lunch with my parents. my mom wanted me to read some chinese article to her about why jewish people are successful and how they make so much money. after i finished the article, my mom and i started to eat.

and then it dawned on me; my parents happiness is dependent on how much money they can earn. my parents have a very set routine everyday; they go to work, come home, do housework, and spend the rest of the night monitoring stocks. when they get together with their friends, all they talk about is how much money they can make by doing this or that. midway through our conversation, i blurted out to my mom how was pathetic it was that she depended on the amount of money she made to be happy. (my dad is a bit better than my mom; he likes to study and learn, so he still takes classes @ mission college, kinda reminds me of ms. allen) to my dismay, she actually agreed me and her excuse was that she was getting older and didn't how know how much longer she would live. maybe money is more than just green paper, but it's discouraging to see how possibly the most materialistic thing in the world can be the factor to all my mother's emotions. and i pointed out to her that she makes money to save and treasure it, rarely spending it on anything for herself besides a few accessories or pieces of clothing. i said, "you don't do anything for yourself. you have no hobbies and you don't do anything because you like doing it." and she said "i like making money."

and then we started to argue about how i spent too much time at church and that all the time i spent at church took up the time i had to study or do housework. the latter is true, but who am i kidding, i know i wouldn't study even if i had the time. every time my mom and i have an argument about something besides schoolwork, it's about how i spend too much time at church. even after millions of conversations, my mom still doesn't believe me when i say that church is not intended to teach me how to pick up after myself or be clean or be self-sufficient.
