4th of July

Got a free tshirt from the leasing office of my apartments! Reasons to love living in Austin, I suppose...

I went to the mall to get a few things that were on sale for this holiday, and ended up buying a nice thin cardigan for only $7 at Hollister. My friends, L and C, stopped by to chat and eat lunch with me, and it was all fairly nice. I felt kind of bad for L - he drove two hours down from Burnet to hang out with a group of friends, but in the end, only C was really available to hang out with him for the entire day. That must've felt pretty shitty. I hadn't made any promises in the first place, but I told him I'd be glad to see them if they wanted to drop by, and it was nice to see them again.

Then I spent the rest of this Independence Day with R. We kept hearing firecrackers but never saw anything... I was a little disappointed because I thought UT's main tower would at least be lit or patriotically decorated, but there didn't seem to be anything like that. Our original plans had sounded really fun, but that couldn't be carried out either.

Then again, it is just 4th of July. I've never particularly paid much attention to this holiday. I think I was just looking forward to this one because I've been craving a reason to go out and do things and celebrate, but I suppose that would've been a celebration for all the wrong reasons, huh..?

Valentine's Day

:)

Thank you for these valentines~

Outfit for J2 Valentine's Dinner! Went with a bunch of other girls.

^Me with Stats homework partner!

And now... for Stats test tomorrow. Yay.

On another topic... I got my Sociology test back, a 60.5 out of 60 pts!! So... a 100.83%, not bad^^

San Francisco: Day 1

After stepping off the plane from Dallas to San Francisco, we went to SAM's Diner, which was super busy - but worth the wait.

^My Baja Scrambled Eggs~ Fresh Pico de Gallo, avocado, olives and eggs with a side of sour cream, wheat toast, and country potatoes.

^My dad's Spicy Pork Korean Tacos~ 3 soft tacos with house cilantro lime rice and spicy secret sauce.

Right after, we decided to go to look at the Golden Gates, which was a great view and involved a lot of hiking as well^^

Haha, I was not ready for this picture... but here's the skyline of the city^^

 

Here is a very dignified bird!!

We tried to go to Fisherman's Wharf, but it was so crowded and there were no parking spaces... so we decided to put that off for another day, when we can walk there instead.

For dinner, my mom's friends treated us to a really fancy dim sum place called ABC Seafood Restaurant. Simply scrumptious.

^My Mango Pudding~ Silky pudding made of fresh Mango puree, sugar and milk, often served with a drizzle of evaporated milk.
