fish are friends, not food

this weekend has been... eventful. not all fun & games, but i definitely wasn't bored.

saturday: i had to wake up at 6:30am to get school. why? i was volunteering for openhouse at school. i drove to ramya's house, and, as usual, she took around 15 minutes to "walk down the stairs." eventually, we got to school around 8:10. openhouse was open at 8:30. when we got there, there was already a rabid crowd of asian/indian/white parents just about ready to burst inside since the doors were locked. eventually, we got in with sean & rachel's help.

aditi hands me a nametag saying "here, write your name on this, but don't write your last name." apparently, if you do, you'd get stalked by some of the crazy asian parents. (i'm guessing this has happened in the past?)

volunteering in the marine bio room was actually fun-ish. i got to know a lot more of my classmates & advertise tj. we had these touch-tanks set up where visitors could touch everything (sea cucumbers, sea urchins, etc.) except the jellyfish. a little boy tried to talk to me in korean. i've never felt so un-asian in my life.

i basically had to talk about this kind of upsidedown jellyfish, and i like to say that i'm pretty good at bsing facts.

after openhouse, i went to andy's house to visit/ have a hw party. i now realize that i've been to Blue Pearl multiple times before.

sunday: i watched a part of The Mist with ben. no matter how much he denies it, he really was scared. we were practically clinging to each other at the garage part. the movie's actually more gross than scary though. the special effects are ridiculous: in a bad way, but the gore made up for it. i think i empathize (simpathize?) too much with the characters in the movie, and that's what made it so bad. the ending made ben and me really sad, and i guess thats the last horror/suspense movie i'll see in a long time. i'm fine with that.

today/monday: (it's technically tuesday now) salsa dancing AKA studying for the SAT with friends. it's actually not as bad as it sounds.

i actually have too much to say and too little time in this post.

caffeine: tall pumpkin spice latte.
