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....
