Great day

I had a great day today. First, my host parents had a birthday party for their friend at our house, so more than thirty people came over to our house to celebrate it. Because I had a ton of homework, and two tests were coming up for Monday, I went to the library in the morning and came back home around 3p.m. to enjoy the birt hday party a bit. Well, honestly for the food rather than the party, since the party was almost over at that time.

Second, my bible study group had a party at the student union center of Cal state Fullerton. We played free bowling, free pool, free ping-pong and had free pizza sponsored by the bible study group leaders. Since I love playing sports, I did pretty well on bowling and ping-pong. But I did horrible on pool because I kept letting the white ball go into the holes. My teammate kept complaining about me haha.

I just got back, and need to prepare for my exams on Monday after I finish an assignment for my Monday night class. I had been really busy with homework and exams, but am so glad I had so much fun today. Sometimes refreshing your mine might help you study better, so I recommend you to refresh yourselves a bit if you have been stressed out with school. Wish you all the best!


After all, tomorrow is another day, Brianna

Lame Alert!

Ok so normally I don’t waste my time with things like this and it may turn out to be a COMPLETE waste of time. But what the hell, why not, right?

I love Facebook the way a fat kid loves chocolate cake, (btw I love chocolate cake too!) but sometimes I regret adding a few people. They are people from my past, ones I kicked out of my life for a reason. But since almost 10 years has passed I figured why not add them. I mean they took the time to hunt me down the least I can do is give them shot. Maybe they’ve changed… I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Although the activity they do on their page has no effect on me whatsoever, I still see it in my news feed. I guess I wouldn’t mind as much if it weren’t so hostile and negative.

They discuss fighting people and get into arguments with them. They talk like they’re big n tough and “will beat anyone down.” Ok that was quoted verbatim. I know right, it’s just sad. That entire attitude should have been left behind in high school.

We are no longer on campus trying to prove that we’re worth something. I don’t understand the mentality of being “macho”. Especially in women! I firmly believe people shouldn't take themselves that seriously. You wind up looking like an idiot when you do.

It's lame to post on Facebook that you want to beat someone up. What purpose does it serve to verbally harass someone on Facebook or beating them up for that matter? Personally I wouldn’t want to bring more aggravation to my life by harassing the person who hurt me.

But I know everyone is different. And I’ve taken enough psyche classes to recognize the reasons people act “macho”. Although I can’t help but pity them and hope one day they will wise up.

Well that’s my rant for the week. I realize it’s a bit on the lame side and kind of naïve. But when I see over 100 negative comments hanging off someone’s post I can’t help but wonder the purpose. I dunno maybe it’s just me…


Stay Classy FC,

Shopping for Condoms!

Because of my Human Sexuality class I have an assignment called "condoms". I have to go to a Drug Store or a Sex/Condom Store to do the assignment. There were plenty of options of where to go but I decided to go to a Sex Shop in Brea called 'Touch of Romance'. I did not want to go on my own and look like a weirdo hoovering over the condoms and writing down all this information about them by myself, so I forced my guy friend into coming with me. We went to breakfast this morning and then headed to Brea for our expedition. There is a total of six questions that were asked, but each question has multiple parts to it. I thought the entire experience would be awkward but it was actually completely opposite. It was really comfortable and actually kind of hilarious!

There are so many different kinds that I have never seen or heard of for that matter. The funny thing was that I was really there just doing research for homework and that is what it felt like. I think it was such a great learning experience for me. Not learning about the condoms but learning that I am mature enough to handle awkward situations where I am out of my natural element and can turn it into a positive and comfortable environment. I am so grateful that my friend went with me and helped me with my research. I think that is part of the reason it was not uncomfortable for me.

I am so content with him that nothing seems weird even if it is out of the ordinary. He just wants to see me succeed and if that means that he has to help me with something, especially like that, he is willing to do so. A lot of people do not get that lucky to have such great friends like that. I really do appreciate him going with me because he was the one reading all the labels and finding all the info that I needed. I was just the one writing everything down so I did not have to deal with the merchandise much.

Thank you so much to my dear friend!

Awkward!

So many awkward things have happened to me these last couple of days. I know this is probably going to sound really bad but it was hilarious and I really do not think that I can pass this up and put it away for safe keeping. I am a very funny person and sometimes I do the stupidest things. For example, I am taking Human Sexuality and I knew that I would be a few minutes late because I was talking with a friend and I was in no rush to leave and get to class. I ended up going to the restroom right before I went to class which made me a few extra minutes later than I would have been to begin with.

I get to class about seven minutes late, and when I walk in there is a picture of a penis and vagina on the white board and the title, "Why people do not like to use condoms". I walked in from the far back door just expecting to sit in my seat without even being noticed, however, as I walked in the Professor asked me that question. "Why do people not like to use condoms?" I just wanted to sit down as quickly as possible and before I could even think about it I was already saying something. It came out like word vomit, "Because it feels better without them!" She proceeded to write it on the board without hesitation and I took my seat. As soon as I sat down the guy in the seat next to me leaned over to me and said, "Hi, I'm Joe what's your name?" I was so embarrassed!!! I could not believe that I had just said that in a class of over one hundred students. I believe I just learned my lesson the hard way about punctuality. I will never again be late to that class!

I know it is Human Sexuality but I never thought that some of the guys in that class would be so creepy. Why would you introduce yourself to someone after that? It was so incredibly awkward. I am dreading going to class in the next hour because I really do not want "Joe" to sit next to me again. I think I will make sure to sit in between two girls today. Do not get me wrong the class is so much fun and I really enjoy the Professor she is hilarious, but creepers should not be allowed to take the class.

Well everyone...
