hello! i just ate ribs and fries at Fridays w/ some ppl. it was yummy! ben kind of spontaneously showed up today--so me, edmond, batO, paul and sunny went to meet him at TGIF's.. it was fun! but i felt bad for ben b/c someone hit his car today.. :/ that really suX--but i hope he feels better. now i feel extra bad b/c i have done a hit and run before.. a few hit and runs actually..! i feel awful. >_< oH my.. but that was back in the day when i was much more immature and much more selfish. i promise that i won't do it ever again. cause everyone should take responsibility for their own actions--especially now that i'm much older than i was before!
hmm.. chem test chem test chem test..... it went OKAY? i think i did decent, but i really have no idea.. i'm scared! and she takes freaking FOREVER to grade the damn tests.. gRR.. yeah, last night i studied with liz and andrew at UCI again. wilson and sam came to meet up with us like at 11pm b/c me and liz were stuck on the last two problems, so i'm glad they came to help us out. it was nice of them. and you know what was scary?! this guy in our class got caught cheating. well, technically he didn't cheat b/c he was caught before he could use his notes! we had a sub teacher give us our test today toO. it was really scary. i felt bad for him--it was kind of embarassing for him i would imagine. anyhOo... i used to cheat a lot in high school toO--but i don't anymore!! i stopped when i got to college. that could really affect your records toO.. especially for transfer students.
today was a relaxing day for me though after the test!! i came home early since we had no lab... relaxed... i didn't even hafta worry about picking up sushi b/c she has spring break this week! :) so i just came home and i took a nice nap. tomorrow is gonna be a pretty short day at school, then i'm gonna go the animal shelter and stay till about 5:30ish.. get to see the dOggys again! :) i'm very happy. i feel really content as of the moment. i just feel happy with where everything is going and with mostly everything that life has handed to me. i'm grateful for my family and friends, and even though i don't have a ton of good friends.
i thought about that too.. and i realized that none of that really matters. if i have at least one good and true friend, then really.. i'm grateful and i'm satisfied with life. :) good night tobey! ttyl.

a good quote i always try to remind myself of when the times get tough.. "the trick is not how much pain you feel-but how much joy you feel. any idiot can feel pain. life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses to live. knowing happiness requires a great deal more strength than wallowing in your self-pity." --sO true eH? it works for me!! it's the key to my happiness. and really, it's reality. everyone has the chance to be happy.. it's just a matter of realizing that IT'S IN YOUR OWN HANDS TO DECIDE. accepting life. accepting faults and flaws, believing in your ability to succeed.. family and friends-- and most of all.. myself as well. accepting me for who i am. i can't ask for anymore. :)
