So I bought four frocks today :) 3 sleeved ones then another one that looks kind of Audrey Hepburn-esque. They were $9, $13, $14, and $20. #deals #teehee
I’ve decided that I really like when trees grow in super straight clusters. It shows that there can be order and uniformity to wilderness and nature all on its own. Also, its kind of like a community of trees since they’re all about the same size and of the same health which means certain trees weren’t hogging all of the resources. That sounds really cheesy…

So I went home for the weekend and today my family went hiking in the North Bay. We drove by our old house in San Francisco (which was up for sale) and it made me wonder what my life would be like right now if we never moved out of the city. My parents said that they probably would have sent my brother and me to private school which would have been very different. Also there are so many people I’ve met in our new city that have been intrical to my entire childhood/life. Especially when it comes to our neighbors on our suburban street, my life was dramatically impacted by the people I grew up with and where we lived. That’s just kind of a interesting thing to think about and to try to imagine how much the environment you choose directly effects your life because of the people and opportunities and influences…
That also makes me curious about where I’ll end up after college or grad school because I really can’t even decide if I’d rather live in NorCal or SoCal right now. Good thing I don’t have to yet, but still…

I must say that I’m not too pleased with myself today. I’ve been getting more attention from people than I’m used to and I don’t have the best reaction to all of it- I feel kind of conceited or something, and I don’t like it. I kept hearing myself talk about the exciting aspects of my life AND dwelling on them instead of taking the time to listen to other people’s lives-especially if they aren’t moving at the same pace as me. I really need to turn on better listening skills and better friend skills starting now. I feel like I haven’t been reciprocating a whole lot recently which sucks, and I am going to make a conscious effort to really start being more mindful of other people’s feelings (and stop making throw away comments that should totally stay in my head). So anyway, this is me “checking myself before I wreck myself”. I’m so tired, but I’m excited because tomorrow is a new day, and I’m going to be better. Goodnight.
![So today was the first time in weeks that I slept in past 8AM. Normally I hate that feeling of wasting my day away and just sleeping when I could be doing more with my life, but today was necessary. Then I made myself vegan chocolate chip pancakes and raspberry coffee (and the pancake idea I got because I finally started playing catch up with shows on Hulu and someone was making them).
But Wednesday till Friday was a nonstop car race since I had a high school friend come[who’s phone died and had to rely on mine which was another communication mess], I had to wake up at 6:30AM every morning to study/get ready for class and slept at 2AM since I had a huge midterm Friday, then Friday was SunGod [which was a much better than last year, but an interesting time overall]. Also, I’m someone who definitely needs alone time sometimes, which I’m used to having this year since I have a single and not a tripple anymore-but I really just needed time to deflate on my own on Thursday/Friday morning because I had so much to juggle but couldn’t.
SO anyway, today was a really refreshing day.
TO DO List for this weekend: preference essays for HA, plan Burnout details, figure out budget stuff for Sew Awesome, go to friend’s musical, figure out passport details and send to dad, start my cse assignment, read for comm, L&L dinner with a friend, grocery shop and I think that’s it. I have a leadership tomorrow which basically will take up all day](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4atpj3NI21qm1lxfo1_1280.jpg)
