Not Today, but Maybe Tomorrow

We were very excited to check out the California Academy of Sciences that opened to the public today. Doo doo doo, on our way to the park. Much to our dismay we could not get in. We needed free membership passes that they were previously passing out to gain entrance. We were told that people started lining up at 5:30 am and free passes were all gone hours ago. Back to home we went.

Celebrating

Dinner at Range.
Everything was delicious, especially the roast chicken. YUM.

Weddings, Weddings, and Weddings

Going back to Seattle this weekend for another wedding.

First Week of Class Stinks!

*Update: I got into Chemistry! =)
I couldn't add Human Anatomy after all. The classes were all over enrolled to begin with plus I had a really late registration date. Right now I'm fighting my way into Chemistry. It's pretty full, but I'm sticking it out until the 3rd week to see if anyone drops out...I hope they do. I need this class in order to take Physiology and I need to take Human Anatomy too!

Free Food for Millionaires, written by Min Jin Lee was highly recommended by a random stranger I met working at Sunhee Moon. I read an excerpt of the book and was instantly hooked wanting to know more. I just got the book today and I'm excited to dive into it. I'll blog my thoughts about the book soon after I read it.

About 2 months ago, we went to the SF Giants baseball field to see the opera. It was free, outdoors and via satellite...err, I think. It was fun eating and enjoying the nice weather, but I think an opera is difficult to see if you're not actually there. The picture of the sandwich below is called Buttendwich. It's the result of two ends of a bread loaf, thus butt- end- wich. I didn't make it up, Tim did.

Summer session is almost over. Next Wednesday is my last day and finals day. So far I enjoyed abnormal psychology. I hope I can add Human Anatomy and Chemistry for fall session. Since I already have my BA, I get last priority when it comes time to adding classes. I have to physically go to all the classes during the first week of school and hope that some students don't show up so that the instructor could add me. It's a pain in the butt, because I'm nervous that I won't be able to get the classes I need. Working and going to school at the same time has been giving me a good kick in the arse, but I'm getting through it. Everyday I come to the fact that I can't do this on my own. Instead of worrying so much about my future I should lift it up to Him. It would be much easier if I could do that automatically, but sometimes I forget that He's there.

When I come across other people that are going through very similar decision processes and career changes like me, it makes me feel a lot better. Today, I came across someone almost in the same situation as me. We both come from creative backgrounds, yet we're going into the medical field. Several people said doubtful comments to me like, "you're a painter, do you think you'll do well in your science classes?" or "You're a creative person, why are you going in that field?" Comments like that annoy me. I don't know if I'll do well, but I'm going to try damn hard. I know that they're just worried and looking out for me, but seriously- no thanks. Let's all try to think positively. I have met people in my class that are over 40 and making career changes as well. They haven't been in school for a very long time. Seeing them in class with me inspires me to do well.

Going off topic now...I leave you with this:

Last night Tim took me to watch the movie Sex and the City. First we went to the theaters in the Bloomingdales shopping center, but the tickets were all sold out, so bummed. We could have gone home, but Tim knew how much I wanted to see it so we went to Kabuki theater...turns out they were sold out too. The only available time was 10:15pm and Tim being as sweet as he is was willing to wait an hour and a half to watch this movie with me. To kill time we got yogurt and tea.

Poor Tim, he burned his tongue and got a bloody nose that night.

I like every issue of Real Simple. I don't necessarily apply all the tips and ideas, but it's still one of the better magazine's out there.

I had tomato soup and garlic naan 3 times last week. I tend to eat things consecutively if I really like it.

White bunny! I still have to sew on the nose and eyes.

It's Nate's 1 year birthday party this Saturday, so I decided to make him something handmade. I saw it on the Martha Stewart show and thought it'd be a good way to recycle old gloves. It's my first one, so the craft of it isn't as good as I'd like it to be. I poked myself with the needle a couple of times too, but it was all worth it. I hope Nate likes it. 

I started this painting last year before I moved up to San Francisco. It's still not done. My goal is to finish it by the end of June.

Something to Take Care of

I went to visit my family in LA about a month ago and my mom showed me a pot with small baby succulents. That's the one thing that stood out from my LA visit...succulents. This past weekend Tim and I went to Home Depot and I got several small succulents and a pot so I could arrange them myself. I don't like buying prearranged plants.

It makes me smile every time I look at it. 

Back in SF

There are quite a few dogs here at work. I miss Charlie. He would've been a good fit up here in SF. This is my very first post. I hope I can keep this up. I'll try my best to document my life here.
