Calling You - Blue October

There's something that I can't quite explain
I'm so in love with you
You'll never take that away
And if I've said a hundred times before
Expect a thousand more
You'll never take that away

Well expect me to be
Calling you to see
If you're okay when I'm not around,
Asking if you love me
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile,
To make us smile...

I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping or you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me?
I can't believe you actually picked me

I thought that the world had lost its sway
(It's so hard sometimes)
Then I fell in love with you
(Then came you)
And you took that away
(It's not so difficult, the world is not so difficult)

You take away the old, show me the new
And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
So while I'm on this phone
A hundred miles from home
I'll take the words you gave
And send them back to you

I only want to see
If you're okay when I'm not around,
Asking if you love me
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile,
To make us smile....

I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping or you're dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me?
I can't believe you actually picked me...

AznShuaiKnight (8:25:54 PM): damn...
AznShuaiKnight (8:25:58 PM): she gonna make daniel break up wit me
AznShuaiKnight (8:25:59 PM): shit


HAHHA....btw, AznShuaiKnight is a guy....^_^...LOL..i love how they all just play along and pretend

taylor: And I attribute my good looks and charm to why you can't be mad at me... the only problem is that my own dog is better at both than me

^_^

i LOVE the museum...even though it's back to ecoslave for me

it's been my greatest year so far there....i have 4 TA's this year!!..which prolly makes it so much fun - andrea, alisha, jonathan, and lawrence...and of course, wendy too...(she lives in new territory!!..woohoo!!)..no one else has so many TA's!!...the class next door (david's class) only has two..and they're both really quiet..pooey, that's no fun...i got space camp this week (8-9) year olds, and the kids are an absolute nightmare...well, like a fun nightmare kinda....they WILL NOT SHUT UP!!!!.....and they didn't until lawrence finally imposed the quiet game on them...haha...then they all stood there really relaly still and really really quiet...and then lawrence told them that they would lose if they blinked, so of course, they were standing there trying not to blink either.it was kinda pathetic..lol...some of the kids are pretty cool tho, like enrique (omg!!..soo adorable!!) ...hahah..others, like donovan, are pain in the ass...all the TA's agree too...we don't really do that much with the kids, so we basically just get to hang out and shoot foam rockets at each other and basketballs and tennis balls - that is, until tara bitched at all of us..=(...so now we just shoot rockets AFTER class..which is ten times better!!!...andrea managed to sneak in a package of the rubber band rockets...those are freakin pimp!!!...we had this HUGE rocket fight going on, with other TA's coming in too...andrea jonathan lawrence daniel ben philip jason donald.... lawrence figured out how to use the blowgun rockets (he's the only one who can do it well)...haha, we were totally ripping all the fins and wings off all the rockest!!!..we had to resweep afterwards...and then donald joins in and picks up this huge duct tape covered ball on the table and goes "nuclear warfare!!" - we managed to prevent him from throwing that tho...lol...but that was really fun - woulda been better if CERTAIN TA's had stayed behind to help us clean up!!!....oh!!..and yesterday we also had to demonstrate how astronaut's space suits look like, more or less.....the unlucky person who got picked to model the astronaut had to first put plastic tubing around their waist, wear a huge diaper, put on this really weird one piece white suit, helmet, sunglasses, huge gardening gloves, and THEN, we duct taped all the openings of the suit closed, except for one leg, through which we stuck a leaf blower and then turned it on, making the unlucky person balloon out...MAN IT WAS FREAKIN HILARIOUS.....they were gonna make both the ecoteens ( me and david ) do it for our classes, but i lucked out, and wendy made jonathan do it instead!!..hehee...poor david though, he didn't get lucky like me..afterwards he was like "that was so freakin humiliating"...

ok...i have to go to work soon (museum!!!), so i'll blog later

In primeval and ancient times, when adolescent members of certain tribes reached the threshold of adulthood, they often went on prolonged odysseys where they underwent trial, meditation, maturation and hardships in order to prove themselves worthy to cross over that specific barrier. In more ways than one, my limited time at UT Arlington for the welch program was that odyssey for me. Five exciting drama-filled, unregrettable, and unforgettable weeks. And now, after one long week of enduring a “normal” summer life again (if you can call it that), I realize how much the people and the situations and the enriching experiences that I encountered at Arlington meant to me during my 5 weeks there, and how much I am indebted to all of them for everything:

For all that and much much more and whatever else i forgot to put in,
What else could I possibly ask for?

You have the Power of Flight!

this is gonna be a little out of order, but i want to post my welch stuff so that i can leave it there at the top of my blog for a couple of days..hmm..does that make sense??...oh well...

saturday was REALLY fun...party at taylor's house!!...lol..my dad wasn't too happy about that, seeing how he had to drive me all the way out to katy...we drove forever on South Fry road..i thought we had passed the house at first...but man..that kid is freaking rich...huge ass house, huge ass pool in the backyard with a lot of green space left on the side for playing other sports and such, ping pong table, shuffleboard table, buttload of games, huge TV, u name it, he's got it....and he has the cutest dog ever....amelinda and me both want to steal it...haha....so anyways, i'm one of the first ones there, and i end up playing shuffleboard with taylor and aaron for a while...i swear i have never heard of that game!!!...but it's pretty interesting - u just slide a puck thingie down the board, and u gotta have really good aim...the first time taylor slid the puck down the board, i reached out and stopped it..haha.WOOPS...i guess it's just a reflex..then more of his friends start to poor in the door....i have never felt so short in my life...all of his friends are freakin tall!!!...grr...i started to play a messed up version of ping pong with matt...it was hilarious - we were slamming the ball at each other (they made fun of my backhand stroke..lol...i honestly can't do forehand!!..i did it like twice that night), and then we started to bounce the ball off the wall before hitting it..it was great..of course, all the museum ppl there were extremely outnumbered - i think it was just me, amelinda , katy, jaron, and jesse vs. all the other taylor HS ppl...sat around and talked to jaron and amelinda for a while...amelinda told us the story of how her friend's cousin (whose dad owns a plastic bag company or somethign like that) got kidnapped and ransomed and then sent back in pieces..uuggh...ok, that was morbid....we (the museum ppl) then all go outside to mess around with the basketball....not very eventful cuz the taylor hS ppl took over soon...haha...btw, taylor is awesome at basketball - yall should all go see him play and then try to persuade him not to quit....so after we got outnumbered again, we left the taylor hS ppl and went back to the huge ass pool which also has a basketball goal on the side....i tried to get on one of those inflatable rafts ( i guess i shoulda known better, seeing how my arlington experiences with inflatable rafts weren't exactly the best..hahahahh) and ended up getting all wet with all my clothes on, so i was like what the heck and just went ahead an jumped in the water..then i played pool football with the museum ppl - which turned out to be hilarious, since jesse kept tackling all of us and flippping us over... and in the end, i ended up playing pool basketbal with taylor, jesse, jaron, AJ, and this other kid who's name i fergot....i actually made several shots!!!..wahoo!!!..and the short girl saves the day..LOL...i felt sooo freakin short playign basketball with them..all of them towered out of the water, and i had to jump out of the water just to try to block other ppl...at least i didn't drown this time!!..yay!!..and at least i didn't kick anyone in the balls (haha...liberty...lol..good old welch memories)...

and then today liberty, anu and me hung out and watched adaptation...man!!..that is one strange movie!!!...and that woman is a freak...getting high off orchids...really..it was kinda sad tho..especialy because of what happend to the twin...=(....then we went to crescent city and ate beignets and grilled cheese (MMMmmm..more arlington memories....and that grilled cheese at the UC was NOT salty!!..honestly!!!..poor tiff just got screwed over each time..LOL)..and then to buy a swim suit..lol..my first two piece..or rather, just a top...i'll just wear my adidas shorts on the bottom...which reminds me that i need to get my tummy in shape before august 2..IF i can swim that day...lol...

ok...the next post will be about concluding in arlington, i promise!

ok, so i was going to lunch today planning to get a box to take back to the lab with me, and i get into a little argument with the fucking card-slider guy about whether or not i can take out a box. i told him that i've been taking out boxes periodically for the last two weeks, and the little asshole says "that's a fine excuse"...so i finally shut him up when i tell him that i'm in the middle of an experiment and that it's gonna screw up if i don't take a box out....i ended up getting the box in the end..yay!..haha

but anyways, this morning, dr.rogers tells us "well, i'm so glad that i didn't have to give the cabin fever speech this year"..we're all going "huh?"...so he says "yeah, i think every other year i've had to give this speech, since people end up getting on other people's nerves, but i think this year everyone got along just fine!"..HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA....liberty and me were trying our hardest not to burst out laughing....it took a LOT of effort, lemme tell u that much...especially when i was sitting right next to the person who got on my nerves...how ironic is that??

i can't start finishing my paper until at least 8:30 at night...until then i guess i'll work on my power point..i'm gonna skip dinner i think..

grrr..i'm still stuck at lab rite now, even tho it's already dark...pooey...today was ..uh..STRESSFUL...first of all, ashley and dr. smith show me how to set up an assay in like 5 seconds...they're like "bla blah blah blah, ok got it? good!"...and then they go out to lunch..AAAAHH!!!...so i freaked out for a while..but it's all good, cuz i got it eventually..yay!...but then, we found out that the cells in 2x n-min didn't grow...@(#*#%#^ cells!!!...so i had to remake the N-min, regrow the cells, and then continue working on my new assay...192 freakin test tubes....my arm is sore from pipeting all 192 test tubes..in fact, that's what i'm doing rite now...i'm gonna go finish those now...

we went to the lake yesterday - our last weekend day at arlington..in a way i'm happy as hell, since i can't wait to get away from a certain moron who we all know about(^_^), but then again, the 6 other people are all really awesome, and i'm kinda sad to have to leave - i've made some really good friends here..ironically, i should have known them a long time ago, but hey, fate is tricky..lol..ok..so anyways, our day at the lake: so we get there, and it's all cloudy and bleh..it was a long drive there - 1.5 hours...we tried to pass the time by playing indian poker and mafia, but it didn't quite work out, cuz we couldn't exactly do any dares in the van, and everyone was kinda tired of playing mafia anyways...liberty, anu, wai-ying and me all went to play volleyball first..HAHAHA...i had forgottn how much i suck at volleyball - bad memories come up of last summer being rammed in the mouth while playing volleyball....the lake was SUPER cold tho..we went in there all screaming cuz it was so cold, but we eventually got warmer as we got used to the water...played chicken for a while (we dragged a very reluctant tuan into the game), then a couple of us decided to swim out to the orange line, but we brought a raft just for safety anyways..kevin tried to teach us how to dive underwater and sink to the bottom of the lake but we freakin couldn't do it!!!..everytime we tried, we both floated right back up..and then even when kevin tried to pull us under, liberty and me had our Near Death Experience #1 - kevin told us to let all the air out of our lungs in order to sink, so we did, and we both almost drowned trying to come back up for air..haha..ok, that's overdramatic....j/p...then, on the way back to shore from the orange line, liberty and me had our Near Death Experience #2 - we were swimming back and all of a sudden we just both got really tired and couldn't swim anymore - thank dios that we had the raft nearby, or else it woulda been good bye cruel world for both of us..LOL....hahah..but it was an interesting experience...we totally pigged out on chips and oreos dipped in salsa (hahaahahha), and then MARSHMALLOWS...mmmmm...TOASTED marshmallows....they were sooo freakin good...we've gotta have another marshmallow party when we come back home , anu and liberty, okkies??..hehe...meanwhile we got to watch lindsey and kevin ride around on the jetski and fall off about 20 times..that was pretty amusing too...^_^...then blah blah, some of us went back in the water, SOME people stayed behind, and then it started to rain, so we had to cut our trip short...no jetski for me...pooey...=(..oh well....tiffany felt bad that we had to leave the lake early, so she and kevin took us out to a movie afterwards, yay!!....we only got to pick between two choices of movies- charlie's angels 2 or terminator 3.....there was NO way i was gonna go watch another chick flick..i woulda totally gagged and hurled into the nearest trash can, so i went to watch T3 instead, even tho i totally forgot what T2 was about..thanks liberty for buying me a ticket!!! (i'm not 17 yet) but it was freakin awesome ..i relaly liked it, even though it had a crappy ending..geez..all the movie i've seen lately have had crappy endings...there were some pretty funny parts too - " talk to the hand!!"...LOL..ok, yes, i am easily amused..

then today kory came back from his vacation - turns out that he couldn't go camping, his cat died so he stayed in town...so sorry kory....i didn't do much in lab today, just made a bunch of media and cell solutions....i had to remake the freakin N-min three times in a row..the first time i did the wrong calculations, the second time i poured the water all over my hand, and the third time i finally got it right...it was a pretty interesting experience making N-min...as dr. smith says "life is easy without N-min"....i TOTALLY agree..haaha...spent the rest of the day talking to kory about hippies..haha..not really...he calls me a troublemaker...grrrr..i've only broken one bottle so far!!!! (*cough*)....and then, dr. smith walks in the lab in the afternoon all pissed just cuz he had to walk to the library (which is RIGHT next door) and because it rained and it got wet...like he was literally whining about it..lol...isn't that ironic??..the pyromaniac is afraid of water??..hahaha....i didn't even notice that until someone else pointed it out for me....

ok..enuff blogging for today..i came to ransom to work on my paper and i end up blogging instead....

yay!!..so happy that my tagboard finally works...now everyone has to come and leave messages on it, okkies??..^_^..i'll blog more about arlington later

Congrats to taylor for his KICK-ASS PERFECT 800 on the US History SAT II!!!...i'm super super SUPER proud of you..^_^

wow...yesterday was so amazing!!...first of all, wai-ying and me finally solved the **** issue ..or to the best of our abilities at least, so i think everything will be more or less back to normal now - except for a certain person around which all this is centered...i would have talked to him already if i wasn't so pissed off....we tried to talk to tuan, but um...that didn't exactly work, as we had clashing stories...but whatever...i guess i'm gonna try to shut up on the issue now, cuz it's not getting anybody anywhere, and plus everyone is happier without this certain issue hanging around over our heads.

on the OTHER hand, tiffany (our KICK ASS counselor) taught us how to RAVE!!!!...we all went into the conference room in the CRB in the dark, put on some techno music, and then just raved away..hahaah...i'm getting good at it now, i just need more practice with the strings....remind me to show yall when i get back!!..hahah...sorrie..i'm just reaaly really excited ...yup, u know me, first day out of high school, i'm going raving....well..maybe not..i won't be old enough by then..but even then, i don't think i would do that much anyways...as liberty put it, maybe just one time, just for the experience...hahaha....tiffany is freaking awesome at raving!!..we all just sat there watching her like "wooooowwww...."..liberty is really good too..i think she already knew how before we got here...ok..gotta go autoclave now...

me: so does the OD go on the x-axis or does the concentration go on the x-axis?
dr. smith: *blank stare* which one is the x-axis?

hahahaha... that goes to show how useful the information is that we have to learn in school...lol..j/k

u know, sometimes u just can't trust some people. u think that u know them one way or the other, and then all of a sudden, they do something that just totally stuns and shocks u to the point where u just don't want to even see that person anymore. ever. of course, when ur stuck in the same dorm with them for 5 straigtht weeks in a row, that's another problem. it's not like home where u can just ignore them and go talk to other people. cuz in dorms, they're RIGHT there. and u can't escape them. i thought that this camp would be a blast, i thought that i wouldn't have to live through something like this, i wanted to end this camp on a good note and i wanted everyone to not be pissed at each other. looks like that's not gonna happen. so i've learned my lesson. just keep my big mouth shut, and if certain people had not known about certain things, then i would have been the only one suffering, and i would not have had to see other people suffer just because of this one piece of information.
