Our campus actually looks quite beautiful at night. It's very calming to walk in the cool evenings back to my car... sometimes a 10 minute walk can stretch to 20, or 30.

I had my first real meeting today for ACorps. Yes, we met in a beautiful theater in the Cesar Chavez/Bobby Bonds community center.

Costco! We had a communal cart, and only the food items were mine&Yanbo's.

If you've been wondering what happened to me, this is it. I've been holed up in the library until 11pm everyday (from 9am)... or in class. Or at work. Or eating. I'm sorry. So... tired.

So this is what I wore to the Halloween party that Yanbo's coworker threw. She is a MILF. Over 40, and she's smoking hot. I would totally date her.

Anyway, I went with my new roommates. It was so awesome to play with them.

Also, don't freak out, it's only exposed midriff!

This is a thai iced tea. It is really, really good.

Creepy, huh? Apparently we have a whole system of underground rooms at UCR. I went down below Sproul and took this picture of a rather ominous hallway. I felt like twins were going to pop out and eat me.

If you ever wanted to know what my pot looks like when the first stages of curry are being made... here it is.

It's midterm/term paper week, and I have been super stressed out. I drive my car here after my 3pm class after I get food, so I can sit here overlooking this gorgeous view in my car (yes that's my hood), and eat food. mmm. Small comforts in life.

I want to make this. I know how... just no time.

For the first time, I bought a whole chicken & proceeded to roast it with..grape, honey, tarragon, thyme, shallots, among other things. Oohh, and butter. mmm.
It was 4 pounds.

I made chocolate chip cookies. These smelled divine.

Hot chocolate with marshmallows. Yummy! Going to try to make "real" hot chocolate soon.

Life.
Tangled.

I'm supposed to drink this in two days. That's impossible, I think.

I made chicken tortilla soup, from scratch! It tasted... ehh... not as good as Island's. But I tried, for sure.
