Classes!
Job hunting has been negative... I doubt I'll get a job, considering that I have an internship for two weeks at the end of July.
So I was looking at my classes and was confirming the schedule or whatever. So it looks like this:
Mondays & Wednesdays: Political Science 10-11a; English 1-3p
Tuesdays & Thursdays: Philosophy 9-11a; Math 12-2p
Fridays: Political Science 11a-12p; English 1-3p
I suppose it looks good? On Monday mornings, classes don't start until 10am, which is great for weekend recovery right?. I always have a break at 12pm...for an hour! And no classes after 3pm. Yesssss.
No luck on finding a roommate, though. I have until July 2nd to submit a preferred roommate. I don't want some random drunktard! =(

Gradu-what?
I know it has been a while since I have made an entry. So some big things have happened... I don't really feel like typing each play-by-play. So I'm going to just give you the gist of it all.
On May 20th, I went to the Salute to Excellence Banquet. Some of you probably already know about it, but I know there are some people who are very dear to me who have no clue. Out of 3,600 graduating seniors in San Diego County, 83 were chosen for being in the top 1% of their class. I got a cool medal, certificate of achievement, and a fancy pen. I felt kind of bad because I didn't really have any emotion about it... but that doesn't mean I didn't care. At first, I didn't think it was real lol. Anyhow, the school was very excited because I was their first student to ever receive such recognition.
Then there was graduation rehearsal, finals, had my last newspaper meeting (more like a party and passed out certificates of appreciation to a select few). Alright, so the funny thing that happened was that I while I was walking to get my medal at the Salute to Ex., I found out I was valedictorian of my class. So of course I was like, "...what?" When did this happen! And what a crappy way to find out! Anyhow, from then on, I accepted it and chose to give a speech. At first I didn't, but it wasn't the right thing to do. I mean, who's had a valedictorian and NOT have a speech? I certainly didn't want to be the first senior to do that. :\
It sucked because most people get their entire second semester to write it. Oh well, I made one up in a few weeks.
On graduation day, the seniors and a few teachers went out to have a Mexican styled breakfast in an old part of San Diego. My feet hurt, I was mostly either barefoot or in heels. The food WAS GOOD, I had Chorizo con Huevos and orange juice.
Alright, so before graduation, the school had a barbecue and Sharp Hospital TV crew was walking around filming. It was weird because I kept hiding and they kept trying to film, "the big shot." They finally got me and I said my blah blahs.
It was time to "walk" and some of the admin forgot that I got a yellow chord to wear which signifies honor students. Only about 2-3 students got one, so I felt extra special. :-P
Anyhow, I had no idea so it wasn't like I could have reminded them. Who forgets that?
OK--so here's the speech. The video was crap, so I separated the audio from video.

Graduated!
Now I'm sitting at home doing nothing. Trying to find a job, but having difficulties because no one wants to hire someone who can only work 2 months. Hopefully, if God willing, I'll be able to pay off the $1,4000 deposit for the dorms at San Francisco State. I have $560 now...only $840 to go. Grawwr.

MaiMai's Online Quizzes
Personality Test - You are a HELPER WHO FINDS MISSING CHILDREN OVER THE INTERNET (SICF). You are very tentative in the world and introverted with people— which means you are the shy and silent type (hence the Internet.) But behind your reserved exterior lies a dedicated person with a passion for the concrete truth who wants to, in his heart of hearts, help find missing children. God bless you.
Real Gender Test - You are a MAN! Compared to other women who took this test, 66% are more feminine than you and men are only 28% more masculine than you.How do we know? Well, deep down, your gender affects everything about you, from your favorite number to your views on Canada. Many men who took the test think and act just like you, as you can see from the graph above. Statistically speaking, you are a man—whether you know it or not.

How Dateable Are You? - 60% Dateable!
That's lower than the Worldwide Dateability Average of 62%! You are neither more nor less dateable than your peers— welcome to the land of mediocrity, home of the masses! You have an undeniable animal magnetism, but you're just as likely to attract small animals as you are to attract human beings. Nevertheless, the people you flirt with generally find you funny and cute, or "fute." You have good hygiene, which is an imporant aspect of relationships involving two or more people. Avoid seafood and walks in the woods.

Disgusted
I am so frustrated right now, you have aboslutely no idea. I'm growing more and more tired and agitated of my family members and other people who do similar annoying things.
- Whining. My family doesn't do this, but my classmates do. Seriously, wtf? The mean age is 19 and still you are whining about a particular fucking marker? Oh and my favorite, when someone sits somewhere and it pisses you off because you had planned for your posse to surround you and distract you during study group. Big fucking props to you, woohoo!
- Laziness. So they both do this. I know I do this, too, but not so extensively. We've got dad who doesn't dare to make his own beverages and then you have the 19-somethings upset about walking two blocks or grabbing an extra math book. Do they really think the real world is so easy?
- Dirty. OK, so this is the last place for me. Anything dirty really is a nerve breaker for me. It's like squeezing limes over a wound that was already salted. My classmates DO NOT pick up after themselves. Soda cans, chips, snipped paper, you name it, is laying around the floor. My family suffers from this, too. I don't care if you don't make your bed, but leaving dirty dishes on the living room floor IS BEYOND ME. What ticked me off today was the bathroom. I came home needing to shower away the sweat from the warm day and I hear squish-squish at the soles of my Adidas. I look down and the damn rug is wet. I asked what happened and it turns out that the toilet over flowed for reasons no one will admit to. I think I finally lost it when I looked in the bathroom and the floor was still in puddles. NO ONE HAD THE COURTESY TO MOP IT UP OR POUR BLEACH ANYWHERE. I said, "so you guys just left it like that all day?" and the reply was, "Yep." What the fuck?

Effin' Record Breaking
Supposedly, I survived this. I hate anything above 75F degrees. Uneven tans, sweaty breasts, constant showers, etc. etc. Not the best way to start a week.
A strong ridge of high pressure aloft is blocking any potential storms from entering the nation and it is keeping temperatures on the toasty side.
Los Angeles hit a blistering 100 degrees on Monday and San Diego tied an April record with a high of 98 degrees.
Highs may be a bit less on Tuesday but more daily records may fall in cities like Sacramento, Calif., Portland, Ore., and Reno, Nev.
In addition, Phoenix, Ariz. may see their first 100 degree high of 2009.
Highs will be in the 70s and 80s through much of the Northwest.
The Desert Southwest will be blazing where 90s and 100s are likely.
More 90s can be expected through the Central Valley of California.
An increased onshore flow will help decrease temperatures along the immediate coast of California.
Areas that saw snow late last week and over the weekend will see a rapid snow melt in the coming days, bringing a potential for flooding.
Wednesday into Thursday a cold front will push south into the Northwest cooling temperatures down throughout much of the West by late week as the strong ridge aloft gives way to a colder trough. -Weather.com

Operation Chipmunk Face: 72 Hour Update
Why am I up at 1AM? I think the involuntary sleeping I do all day has something to do with it...
Plus loneliness. =(
I have kind of worked myself up. I felt fine yesterday... felt lucid, talkative, hungry, and so on and so forth. But today, I woke up feeling like absolute S-H-I-T. It's been about maybe three days since surgery and I would have expected the rest of my upcoming days to be like yesterday.
I felt so dizzy that I fell in the tub this morning while showering (which I was looking forward to because I hadn't showered in four days!). Am I not reacting well to the penicillin vk? The more I take, the dizzier I am. Then my arm hurts like hell, too. The IV site was bruised all weekend. I hope I wasn't allergic to the anesthesia?
My other worry is that maybe there's nothing wrong with the penicillin. In addition to the dizziness, I have a throbbing discomfort along the left side of my gums and cheeks. Sometimes other teeth throb. Maybe I'm experiencing Alveolar osteitis ("dry socket")? But the little I did get to see when I peeked in my mouth, I didn't see anything that resembles an "empty hole with exposed bone." All I see are discolored gums, an incision line and some exposed stitching. I haven't taken any codeine since Friday night because I hate the feeling I get from it. I've decided to tough it out and resort to the high dose of narcotics when REALLY desperate. But at the same time....when am I desperate? We all know I'm a stubborn bitch.
My follow-up appointment is Friday at 4:30...do you think I can wait that long? Should I call the office? I don't want to jump to conclusions.
Also, I'm SO HUNGRY. Everyone has been eating so well around me. Chocolate waffles here, crunchy apples there, fried chicken and what not. Ugh, baby food! If I see another jar of smashed peas, I'm gonna flip.
I want some orange chicken so bad... so bad... *sobs*
