Today was a freakin cool day. Utterly unproductive in terms of school, but otherwise, it was great.
So the WB Street Team, whatever that is came to SDSU today, couple weeks ago I got an email about it cause I had signed up for the Street Team cause it was free and they said I could get free stuff, and Arelis threaten to kick my butt if I didn't join so she wouldn't get her points. So yea, decided to go, why not, i'm gonna get a free t-shirt just for going
First I get lost trying to find where to park around SDSU, then when I get there, it's like this small room and every person that I ask "um, i got this e-mail about the street team" has no clue on where I go. So then finally someone leads me to someone who leads me to someone who says he'll get me my stuff and tell me what to do if I just stand tight. Then the DJ guy starts trying to get people over for free stuff, ohh free stuff is always a good thing, so he asks some questions, everyone raises their hands, ohhh free Smallville soundtrack. He asks, I put my hand up first, I win Smallville soundtrack.
Okay, so now, back to guy who's suppose to tell me where to go, he disappears. The DJ guys starts talking again, "and WB star Beverly Mitchell will be here." Just as he says that, Beverly Mitchell walks right by me...wow, she's little, she's shorter than me. I wanna try to bug her for a photo, but I don't got the guts to. So then she walks back and forth a couple times, keeps passing me. So then I stand on the side, where is this guy that's suppose to tell me what to do? Oh look there's Beverly again, she probably thinks I'm stalking her. Okay, so then time to win more free stuff, and nobody knows what is the name of Angel's group, well I do, yay free T-mobile t-shirt...right. What I really want is that cool off the shoulder bag with a cell phone holder and side compartments, must win that. So DJ guy introduces Beverly Mitchell and Jamie Kennedy, oh sure why not, time to take some pictures.
they get off the stage and fans hound them, okay so why not. Jump in get a picture, except noone knows how to use my digital camera and nobody knows how to take a picture with it, I apologize to Beverly, poor girl probably sick of smiling, somebody finally is able to take a picture, and boy do I look bad in it.
So then, walk around some more, oh, the guy who disappears finally reappears and hands me a WB Street Team T-shirt, okay now what? He says he'll tell me after the loud band stops playing, alrighty... Oh looks there's the DJ, Ange wants one of those bags. So I go up to him, ask him if I can take a picture with him, in an attempt to make him think he's super cool so I can get that bag. Much better picture than the one with Beverly, though I didn't know the girl taking it made it a close up.
So then I say to him "dude, my bags getting too full, I need one of those bags, you gonna hook me up, right?" He says yea, he'll call on me if i raise my hand. Then Matt shows up, yea wow this WB thing is rather lame, yea it is, but hey, I got a free CD and I might get a free bag. I tell Matt that we'll track the guy down so he can get his T-shirt and we can leave once I win that bag. So we find the people to get Matt his T-shirt, the DJ guy starts a contest, he wants 4 people to go up and dance, yea okay Ange doesn't want the bag that badly. 4 people go up, make fools of themselves, they win stuff. Then he starts up the trivia, I raise my hand, he calls on me, I answer correctly, koo I got me my bag, and yes it was worth all that trouble for the bag, it's a really cool bag, kinda a bookbag, but off the shoulder and has front compartments, and a place for cell phone and pen, okay, it's a cool bag, alright?
Alright, I got my bag, Lakers game isn't till 6:30 though, so what now, well Better Luck Tomorrow is showing at AMC 20. So we head over there, not showing till 7:00, so we head to the arcade where we waste our money on Air Hockey (I won 7-5) and NBA Jam (technically I won, but then I accidently pushed a button and we didn't get to finish our game). Then we head to trophy's to eat dinner and watch the Lakers game. It's so fun watching these basketball games with people that are as excited about them as me. Lakers kicked T-Wolves butt, but then the Pacers/Celtics game is unbelievably close...and hilarious. They go into OT, where for 4 minutes, neither team scores until Artest makes a free throw, 30 seconds later O Neal makes a shot, those being the only points in OT and Pacers win it 91 to 88, woo! Both my teams won!
Great day, lots of free stuff, my teams won, and now off to write a paper and work more on this trailer project...
Most likely won't get to sleep tonite, was it worth it for everything today...heh, we'll see.
 

[4/28/2003 4:22:58 PM | Angeline Huang]
The more i read about Westwood and UCLA, the more excited I am. Things are finally starting to fall into place I think, I have a roommate (who is super cool), hopefully by the end of the week I'll have a place to life for the summer, I have a couple guaranteed internships (if i take them), and a couple good prospects, and i'm still interviewing for some more, so hopefully that'll all fall into place by the end of may.
And westwood just sounds like such a cool place, and my roomie has promised to show me LA, hehe.
I should start making a list of all the things I want to do this summer, one of them definitely is to go to a movie premiere, which I hear happens a lot in Westwood.
 

[4/27/2003 10:01:00 PM | Angeline Huang]
Argh, just my mother. argh, words can't even explain it.
I talked to her about going to LA cause she refuses to let me go by myself cause "i've never drive there by myself before" and "its dangerous."
So she said she has to work friday, but she's free thursday, but then my summer roomie is busy thursday. So i tell my mom that and said "just let me drive by myself friday." And she simply refuses to, she says she'll change her schedule, yada yada yada. And I argue that don't bother, just let me do it, but no, she won't let me. Cause you know, im still a 5 year old child who can't fend for herself or drive a car 2 hours. Nevamind that my housemate does it every week, my roommate drives 3 hours to go home, and friends i knew in SC drove home to LA which is 6 hours.
And it's not even so much that she won't let me drive (even though i hate that she still treats me like a helpless little child), but I know she's going to whine and complain about how she had to change her schedule and she's missing a day of work, yada yada yada. yet, at the same since, it's not like she's going to let me do it on my own. So I just never win, no matter what, it's my fault, i'm just trapped, in this hole that she has me locked up in, with no way of going out. I try path A, she's in the way, so I go route B, and she's blocking that as well. And it just gets me so angry and sad at the same time, cause there is nothing I can do about it, except cry my eyes out, which solves nothing and makes me feel even more pathetic cause she has the ability to make me cry everytime.
 

[4/27/2003 8:31:26 PM | Angeline Huang]
I have a summer roomie
Posted on the UCLA forums last nite and someone IMed me and we chatted, and we're gonna room together over the summer. An we seem very compatible an would make really good roommates, so i'm happy for that. Hopefully this whole summer housing thing will get taken care of by the end of next week, sigh what a relief.
My mom started asking me about what internships I was gonna do over the summer and i was like *eek* "well um, there is this software company..."
 

[4/26/2003 9:47:14 PM | Angeline Huang]
my mother has absolutely no consideration for me whatsoever.
First, she makes me wait till 4 pm before she lets me go home cause she drags me everywhere with her. And then she decides she wants me to meet her for dinner. Fine.
She calls me at 5:30 and says "okay, im on my way, meet me at the restaurant." Fine, i go around 5:45, get there at 6, she's not there. 6:30, she's still not there. So i borrow the restaurant phone and call her "oh im almost there." "almost there, like what 20 mins away?" "no, im close, i went to buy cake." Buy cake?! couldn't she have done it AFTER dinner. So then, fine, I wait some more, 7pm she finally arrives. She gets out of the car with a big smile on her face and i'm like "you do this EVERY time, next time you do this, I'm not coming for dinner!" and she laughs and mocks me "ohhhh someone's mad" And i'm like "yes im mad! next time, call me when you arrive and i'll come!" And she's just like "yea yea, ok." And course she doesn't apologize, she never does.

 

[4/25/2003 11:21:01 PM | Angeline Huang]
wow...mandy's upcoming album definitely is different. I've heard clips of 5 songs already, well 1 i've heard full cause Craig Kilborn and all, but it's definitely a new style. I love the idea, and like some of the songs, but dunno if i'm fulling embracing it yet. But then again, what can you really tell from 30sec to 1min clips. But i will say, if people are still comparing her to Britney after this one...
Anywaiz, it's almost a new month, so need a new layout, and wanna do that before midterm hell starts, so, any ideas? hmm, maybe the Lakers to give them good luck for the playoffs.
 

[4/25/2003 8:06:44 PM | Angeline Huang]
alright, it's official. my mother is on crack.
she has an appointment tonite with this life insurance guy, so she can buy life insurance for trevor (her boyfriend who moved back to england). So that if he croaks, she gets his money. He himself doesn't have life insurance cause he never bothered with that stuff, he has no family he cares about anywaiz so he doesn't wanna leave money for people. So my mom has taken it upon herself to try to make sure she gets his money if he dies, and he doesnt know she's buying him life insurance, or something like that. Now I was under the impression that since it's your life and your money, you would kinda have to know if you're getting life insurance...
Yes, here is me, trying to find a cheap place in LA for me to stay in the summer, while my mother has $1000 to go invest in life insurance for a guy who doesn't even pay for her dinner...
 

[4/25/2003 5:36:09 PM | Angeline Huang]
ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH my mother is the most unreasonable person in the world, actually you know what, unreasonable doesn't even cut it, there are NO words to explain what she is.
So here I am, been looking for the past 3 weeks for places in the summer and all she keeps saying is "have u found a place yet, are you looking." No am not, thats why my head hurts so much from looking!
so then her co-worker's daughter had done a summer thing so she (the co-worker) was giving me advice, and she said to look into frat houses. So I called sorority houses at UCLA yest and asked and they said sorority houses are closed, but frats are open and they house co-ed over the summer.
So just now Im trying to explain what a frat and sorority is to my mother.
me: "Okay, so a frat is all guys, and sorority is all girls"
her: "look at your face, its full of pimples, you won't let me give you a facial" (EVERY SINGLE FREAKING WEEK I HAVE TO HEAR THIS?!)
me: "will you listen while I explain?"
her: "look at your face"
me: "oh i give up" (go get the dog, and then i come back)
me: "you know, i can't even get 2 words in before you interrupt me..."
her: "you can't live with guys"
me: "im trying to explain what a frat and sorority"
her: "you can't live with guys!"
me: "oh forget it!"
I mean geez, i can't even have a simple conversation! Im just trying to speak and she goes off into her own rant, which has nothing to do with what im talking about!
And you wonder why I hate coming home, or why I'm trying to get away from her, or why i just can't even stand being around her. Argh, just...grrrr. I just need this to be a long summer, away from her, where I can live my own damn life. And what a life it is...
 

[4/25/2003 4:53:43 PM | Angeline Huang]
I need someone to share a room with me over the summer, anyone interested? It'll cost you $390 for the room and about $20 for DSL, phone, and cable a month. Comon, you know you wanna.
 

[4/24/2003 4:51:49 PM | Angeline Huang]
Wow, this day really sux. And I know it's just going to get worse.
And then worse of all, something I was really looking forward too isn't happening. I knew it might happen, and I really wish it wouldn't. Argh, people really make stupid choices. I want hardcore drama, not romantic fluff. Yeah yea, i know, im a hopeless romantic, but still.
 

[4/24/2003 12:21:24 PM | Angeline Huang]
Man, gotta love hollywood. Katie Holmes vs Mandy Moore. Whats the point of having 2 movies of the same title, with a similar story, aimed for the same release date?! And i'm not saying this just because I like Mandy, cause I like Katie Holmes as well, but you would think with Dawson's Creek ending, she would start going after more mature roles, not back to playing the college student again. I mean Mandy, she's 19, she can't really help but play a teenager, cause well she is one. Granted its not like I really was looking forward to Mandy's First Daughter version as well. We've seen the same type of movie on the Disney Channel 100 times before.
 

[4/23/2003 10:02:02 AM | Angeline Huang]
hey, what's this? When is Josh gonna realize he and I are meant to be
 

[4/22/2003 11:59:00 PM | Angeline Huang]
For someone that was so amazingly happy this morning/afternoon, i'm amazingly depressed tonite. And I don't really even know why.
First I totally broke my diet tonight (actually i did last nite at the concert as well), which isn't good cause i'm so not ready to break it yet. Finding housing for the summer is a bitch. And then I guess something else happened tonight as well, something that shouldn't be bugging me, but is. And then usually I can come here and vent away or be totally carefree with what I say, but lately I've had to watch myself cause there have been people online harassing me and I feel like my space is being violated and all that crap. And I dunno, i sometimes feel like I have noone to turn to, that people well just say "shut up ange, stop whining." Or people don't really care about hearing me complain, not that I blame them. I dunno, just one of those nights where I feel really alone or something I guess.
 

[4/22/2003 3:52:21 PM | Angeline Huang]
Checked my UCSD email and got an email from another production company that wants to interview me. I'm like in happy overdrive here! Now it's like trying to choose, I want them all!
 

[4/22/2003 1:55:53 PM | Angeline Huang]
Got another call this morning from another company in LA.
And get this, the lady was excited about interviewing me! She said that honesty she wasn't looking for an intern cause it's hard to find someone who had the right balance. Cause she's hired tech qualified people, who have no social experience, or socially qualified people who have no tech experience, but that when she looked at my resume and cover letter, that I was just perfect for their company and what she needed. That because of that, she just was really excited about wanting to talk to me and interview me. And this was one of the companies I was most excited about as well, and that just the fact that my cover letter and resume spoke so much, that's just, wow, i'm in awe. She didn't want me to make a trip to LA just for her though, so she said to keep in touch with her and if i'm in LA I can go for an interview there as well.
And then I have another phone interview this afternoon with another company.
Today...has been a good day :)

psychological tests are so fun...and freakishly accurate? what do you think?

You're an ISFP
ISFP
You're gentle and compassionate...open and flexible...considerate of others and do not for views and opinions on them. Often focus on meeting others needs...pleasant, quiet and kind....at their best ensuring others well-being. Caring and sensitive....modest and reserved..

OK...you enjoy subjects that relate to helping and knowing about people... art...computers and history classes if these classes are taught with an applied, sensible approach.. and if objectives relate directly to everyday lives....

You're somewhat artistic, aren't you? You could probably post a great poem on the Storm Palace, huh? You dislike structure, because it takes away from your spontaneity and freedom. You like leisure, and seek it out. You savor it...probably say "stop and smell the roses"...You have a personal and humorous approach that is unique...

Patient and flexible..easy to get along with and no need to dominate others. You don't need to lead, and are a loyal follower...good team members... You're trusting and understanding...

Love to you is utter devotion and loyalty... when you first fall in love, you may feel consumed by it...."falling in love with love" ...focus on the romance of it all..you are constantly nourishing the relationship... When scorned, you probably retreat and repeatedly analyze the situation internally....When you let go finally, you can be more assertive again...

You organize things according to their personal and humanistic values. You like a work setting that contains cooperative people... leadership style involves personal loyalty as a means of motivating others... prefer team approach...likes to enjoy life...

Be careful of the following: you can lose out when you neglect your own needs. because you see others' needs so clearly, and because you're heavily motivated toward meeting others' needs, you may overlook your own requirements. You need to learn how to respect own needs more and to be assertive and direct with others in asking for their help and for time to take care of themselves.

You also lose out when you are afraid of conflict and mismanage it as a result. You take personal responsibility for conflicts and issues that in actuality belong to others. You become hurt and withdraw. Finally, you can lose out when you become self-critical, and do not appreciate your own accomplishments.

ISFP: "I Seek Fun & Pleasure"

my mother is starting to scare me...
first off, she has been nice to me lately, she was nice last weekend, and besides one annoyance this week, she's been rather nice, and when you're mother starts actually being nice to you...
then she's been totally laxed with the LA thing, i told her tonite that I found a place, she asked about it (i'd be living with phD students), she was all totally happy about that and was like "take it." She still wants to come with me to LA to check it out though cause she won't let me go up there by myself (its too far away for me to drive by myself apparantly, lol...hmm...thinks back to March 24th...).
And then tonite she was like "too bad you're getting an internship, cause I almost found you a job in san diego last nite." Apparantly she met this girl who owns a printing company (also she doesn't know computers), and my mom thought that since I loved graphic design/computers so much, that it would be perfect for me. My mom has always been against this whole computer art thing I have interest in, and now she actually tried to help me find a job in that exact thing? It's all very...weird...

[4/17/2003 11:50:39 AM | Angeline Huang]
I got one!
Had a phone interview with Lions Gate Films today, and they offered me an internship. And the girl was totally cool, UCLA alum, and really wanted to fit my schedule and needs. It's a company that mainly handles indie films, so it's small and you'd be able to see how everything in a company happens, promotion to production to marketing to development, all in one place almost.
 

[4/16/2003 4:01:43 PM | Angeline Huang]
haha, just amusing:
IceCream627: I met the guitarist from foo fighters
chrissydechagny1: god i hate you :-(
IceCream627: and my boss passed by Dave from FF as well, in the hall

IceCream627: i didnt meet him
chrissydechagny1: i'm gonna go out and meet mandy just to spite you lol
IceCream627: LOL


 

[4/16/2003 2:06:23 PM | Angeline Huang]
man, still so tired from the concert.
Running around 20 boxes trying to find shirts and sizes then throwing them at the sellers. And then trying to sell shirts to massive floods of people who don't know how to stand in line. My legs felt like they were gonna give out.
highlights:
met the guitarist from foo fighters. Just a quick hi. Merchandise guy: hey guys, this is blah, he's the guitarist from foo fighters. me: oh hi. Nobody else made a big deal so I didn't either. Course if it was like somebody from Mandy's band, or Vertical Horizon or something I'd probably be like. HI!
half off all ending inventory: I got me a baseball 3/4 sleeve tee for $15, not that Im a fan of FF, but the shirt looked kool, I never had a baseball t before, and the design is pretty kool, and plus, it's not like FF are bad and I hate them. And hey $15 isn't too bad. Got a T for a friend, and then a bunch of sticker packs to give to my housemates and other people. Woulda bought more, but one of the other girls needed to borrow some money, and I didn't know how many of my friends actually liked FF, so yea.
not so highlights:
people who are high. When the crowds slowed down (when FF were performing) some of us went into the arena to check it out a bit from the balcony and man, just weed smell everywhere. And some were drunk too. And then when I was selling at the post concert rush, it was like sweaty high drunk kids clamoring to buy stuff.
food. concert food isn't exactly fit for someone on a diet, so I kinda had to break my diet a bit, which wasn't good.

all in all though, a fun and tiring night. I like working at concerts, it's fun, you get to hear the music and not actually have to be IN the arena. You get to hang with cool co-workers. Free food (kettle corn, cotton candy, hot dogs, pretzels), course none of which I can eat, but still. And sometimes if you're lucky, you get a good deal on ending inventory. It's tiring and you feel like you're going to drop dead afterwards, but it's nice and fulfilling in a way too.
 

[4/15/2003 11:52:27 AM | Angeline Huang]
Today is a crappy day. How do I know, considering I've only been up for 2 hours and so many crappy things have already happened:
Woke up late for class, which wasn't that big of a deal cause the lectures aren't all that informative anywaiz, but I needed to pick up my camera from my friend who borrowed it, that's in that class.
So i hurried my ass out of my apartment to class. He wasn't at class.
Come home and he was at my apartment, only then I did have my keys or wallet with me. Banged on my door for 15 minutes, nobody answered. Tried the patio, locked.
So had to go to res life to get a key, where the college punks charge you $1 for a lock out, got the key, went into my apartment and there was my housemate sitting on her computer.
yep, so that was the start of my day. Now I have 1 hour to finish lunch and finish my paper cause I won't be home till late cause I'm working at the concert tonite.
And to top this all off, my housemates all wanna go to semi-formal and once again my pathetic self can't find herself a date.
And my webserver still does not want to upload my wallpaper
 

[4/15/2003 1:29:03 AM | Angeline Huang]
I did something good and useful for once
but my server is still a butthead.
 

[4/14/2003 10:08:36 PM | Angeline Huang]
hehe, my roommate is dancing in the living room, she's so adorable
And why won't my server upload my dang wallpaper!
Oh and I did something stupid today

I should write a book on relationships
How is it I always find myself involved in a relationship, never my own, but somehow I always end up involved. Listening to people involved, trying to give advice, etc. Considering I'm never in a relationship, I often wonder why people keep asking me for help? Half the time I think i'm probably giving the wrong advice anywaiz, and it'll probably come back to bite me in the butt. I genuinely do try to help though, and hope I do in some way, I worry about my friends, I can't help it, I guess it's that "nurturing" side of me, who knows.
Relationships are a rather...complicated thing though, the whole process, crushing, dating, break ups, etc. There's people who you think will make it (Jennifer Garner and Scott Foley ), people that should make it but can't because life just doesn't want to work out that way, or the whole liking someone and them not sharing the feelings back. All of them are depressing, and just so unfair. All this stuff about relationships got me thinking about myself in high school and how truely pathetic I really was when it came to boys and stuff. I use to think relationships were so important, that there was something wrong with you if nobody liked you or if you didn't have someone, and investing all that time and pain into something that I realize today was so...inane. I guess it had a lot to do with how I grew up, seeing my mom and her men, never having a father, etc, I guess I always felt the void of a male presense and thus craved it more...who knows. I'm glad II've grown out of that (or so it seems), yea I'm single and yea I do want a boyfriend, but just because I don't have one doesn't make me any less of a person. It is a good thing I've come to realize all that I guess, cause now that I think about it, I really was on the path of turning into my mother...
 

[4/11/2003 7:08:48 PM | Angeline Huang]
Layout change.
Yeah, I know it's a little late in the making, originally wanted to do this right after she won the World Championship, but with the start of the new quarter, trying to figure out my schedule, LA stuff, the website wasn't the biggest priority in my life. Regardless, new layout, somewhat simple, but oh well.
And what will Ange be doing this weekend? Looking for an internship, writing cover letters, emailing, faxing, all that fun stuff.
 

[4/10/2003 9:56:07 PM | Angeline Huang]
Look what I found today!
Iventa Corporation:

Comon, aren't I so qualified for that? Isn't that exactly the type of thing I blogged about just a couple days ago? But don't I meet the qualifications they asked for?
Eep, now i'm so excited. I just feel like this is perfect for me, it suits me, and I'm qualified for it. Now...how to tell them that so they will want me.
 

[4/10/2003 1:41:36 PM | Angeline Huang]
Do I just gravitate towards asian people or something?
Was doing more researching for summer sublets and somehow I end up on UCLA's Chinese Student Association classified listings page.
I did manage to find some good deals, like a bedroom with own entrance and private bath and such for like $550 a month, living with a chinese family (i'm sure that would make my mom really happy).
But I just thought it was kinda funny how typing in "summer sublet UCLA" in google got me to the CSA classifieds page.
 

[4/9/2003 7:05:29 PM | Angeline Huang]
maybe it's cause I'm a kobe fan, I dunno, but Shaq just pisses me off more and more. Now he missed practice today "flat tire." What a flat tire on all 50 of his cars or something? They're only playing the kings tomorrow night, not exctly their easiest opponent. He talks shit and pulls this crap on his team. It was Kobe who brought the Lakers back to playoffs, it was him who did all the work while Shaq sat on his butt, and at the end of the season who will people remember? Shaq.
 

[4/9/2003 9:14:59 AM | Angeline Huang]
Argh, what is it with Shaq, he's always giving a bad name to the Lakers, saying crap like this:
``Our two big guys didn't have a great game and we still beat them by (nine). It's going to take a lot more than whining and crying and underachieving big men to beat us,'' O'Neal said, adding of Dallas' centers: ``They all stink.''
Dude, your team may have won the game, but you sucked. And lets see now Dirk 26 points...Shaq...14. As good of a player that he is, I still don't like him.
Anywaiz, it was a good game, rather annoying that Kobe and Shaq both sucked, but everyone else was doing good, and gives me hope that the Lakers can still win when their 2 stars aren't on.

Will the people around UCLA stop taking my sublet spaces, lol.
The one that I found that was $499 for private room, shared bath, was taken by someone last week. Then the one that was $528 for private room, shared bath, was taken too. Now I might be able to get one that is $608 for private master bedroom, private bath, but i really dont need something that big and it might be taken too.
I mean I could share a room with someone, just I won't know people there, and I might not be compatible with them, so at least if I have my own room, I could lock myself in there and not come out, lol.

you know...it's kinda amazing and a bit freaky when you realize what it is you want to do and where you wanna go in life. Spent the whole day looking for summer sublets around UCLA, had some good prospects.
But now i've totally fallen in love with their business school, which has a MBA program in Entertainment Management. Which is essentially what it is I want to get into, and it's business, yet it's something i'm interested in and want to do. And you know my mom doesn't have to know what sector of MBA i'm going into, just that I'm going to get my MBA. And this MBA seems to be perfect for me, I came to the conclusion that this is what I want to do as my career. I want to work in a film & television or music company, not as an actress or anything public like that. I want to work behind the scenes, I want to make the products, promote them, make the artwork for them, distribute them. Basically, I want to be part of the team that helps build and make the product and then bring it to the masses. I dunno, it just feels kinda freaky to like have a life goal, to realize, this is it, this is what I want to do. And then this MBA program just seems even better and exactly the type of MBA I want/need. I guess I could apply upon undergrad, but I probably won't get in cause A) my GPA sux, and B) MBA schools look for work experience. But I guess I could just keep applying every year until they finally want me, lol. But ewww GMATS, ewwwwwwwww.

I'm having the GREATEST weekend. Now only has my mom allowed me to go to LA, and talking about classes and such, I mentioned I might just just classes cause I'm going up there more for internship than classes and she seemed to just go along with it. And now not only that, but I mentioned living off campus next year with my housemates I'm living with now and she was actually okay for that. In fact she was already trying to get me a mattress and all.
 

[4/6/2003 1:49:22 AM | Angeline Huang]
Man, it's just been one great night.
First LA is actually happening, I get to be in LA this summer. Now to register for classes and hope it's not full, find a safe place to life (with internet connection of course ), and then face a big argument with my mom when she realizes it's the entertainment industry I'll be working in, lol.
But, we just got back from Viejas for my mom's friend's bday, and I came back $125 richer! I was actually up $200 for a while, and I said to my mom "lets go before our luck runs out," but she wanted to keep playing "no I want to win $500!" Then they switched dealers and we lost it all again. I managed to keep the money I was able to win though, I stopped after I lost a bunch of my winnings and just let my mom finish out her chips. Add the $125 with the $100 I have still from chinese new years from my mom's friend (if I can find it back at school, I cleaned out my desk at the start of the quarter, I hope I remember where I put the money), and I'm almost to that digital camera I want! But first I should probably buy a CompactFlash Card, so I can start using Pocket PC as a mp3 player, and then later can use it for digital camera that I'll try to get around my bday, so I can use it in LA, where i'll be this summer!
Lol, people should be frightened that i'm actually this happy!

*dances around like a happy little kid in a candy store*
I'M GONNA BE IN LA THIS SUMMER.
my mom is so predictable, first thing she says "it's dangerous." "Mom, many students go and make it out alive all the time." Then she kept changing the subject, blah blah blah. Trying to change the subject, but I kept talking. And it helped that one of her boyfriends is here this weekend, and he's all for the "let angeline live her own life thing." (no course not trevor, then again trevor wouldn't mind be going far away). But that definitely helped and she couldn't really say no in front of him. Hey, her boyfriends have to be good for something, right?
Plans aren't made definite yet, there still needs to be planning done, but she gave the okay, so I'm gonna sign up for classes before she has the chance to back out and say no! Hey, once the money is in and classes are signed up for...
Now, to find a place to live where I won't get mugged or killed.
*continues dancing* i'm so happy!

lol, sometimes I dunno if Kath and I are a good influence on each other, or a bad influence on each other. We're always keeping each other from actually doing our schoolwork, we turned each other into Mandy Moore fans a year ago, fell for Josh(es) at the same time, but in the whole process I think we've become better friends. I dunno, I think it's rather ironic how our friendship has bonded more when we're 3000 miles apart and talking through a computer than when we were in the same high school and saw each other almost everyday.

[4/3/2003 3:04:57 PM | Angeline Huang]
can't i ever have my schedule set when i start a quarter?
so turns out one of my music classes i'm taking, i don't need to take. And these 3 gen ed requirements I need to take, I HAVE to take at UCSD, so can't take those at UCLA. So I get to take writing this quarter! gee...when was the last time I actually took a writing course?
So now, it's trying to find out which classes at UCLA I can use in place of classes at UCSD, stuff like that. Most likely it'll end up being econ classes, oh joy of joys. But my internship, if i get it, could possibly be used as one of my advanced vis art classes, so that'll be good. Or if I don't get that one, if i get into this one class that is also an internship program at UCLA for the summer (another reason to be at UCLA), then the internship I end up going to, I might be able to use as my vis art class.
First, convince my mother to LET me go to LA. Sigh, I wanna go so badly.
 

[4/2/2003 10:19:12 PM | Angeline Huang]
I am beyond excited about this quarter, maybe it cause last quarter sucked so much, I dunno. But this quarter just looks so great, first no econ classes (not that my mom knows that)! I get fridays off! In one class I have take home midterm and finals, another I have midterm and final projects, which means I have essentially 2 final exams to take. I only need to buy ONE textbook and ONE reader the entire quarter. I get to learn new programs like After Effects and Director. The quarter just looks so great, I'm actually thrilled and excited.
Now if only I can get my summer shorted out, I'll be so very happy.
 

[4/2/2003 2:22:13 PM | Angeline Huang]
alright, looking more on the UCLA website and the programs they have to offer for the summer, I have decided that I am going to spend this summer in LA. There are more opportunities for me in LA than there are in SD, the things i'm interested in are all in LA, and I'm very much in need of a change of scenery.
So...now, anyone wanna help me think of a very good reason to tell my mom why it is that I need to be in LA this summer and why UCLA summer is better than UCSD summer. And no "woman, i'm 21 years old, let me live my own damn life" will not work, as much as I want it to.
 

[4/2/2003 12:05:33 PM | Angeline Huang]
Just got back from lab and my TA kinda freaks me out, lol. He was just all like, adobe premiere sux, director sux, cd-roms suck, if you have use other footage you better have a damn good reason to, etc. Kinda sounds like he might be a tough grader. But he's also funny cause he cusses and is anti-software buying so he's emailing us all links to where to download software. My computer is going to crash with all that media software Im going to have on it, not that I dont already have a few, but I'm beginning to think maybe I should create myself an Multimedia folder for all that software.
 

[4/2/2003 10:11:13 AM | Angeline Huang]
look, it's 9am and i'm awake! Only cause I wanted to try to get my lab moved to Wednesday and there was a 9am and a 11am section, I wanted the 11, but to try to make sure I'd get any Wed I went at 9. The TA told me to come back at 11 and he'd fit me into the section. So picked up my petition forms and came home and made changed on the mm bbs. So they added my class, but I still have no grade, course I saw "Comment: C," which goodness I hope is not my grade, I certainly don't think I deserve a C! Gosh, my essays weren't THAT bad were they. Unless he counted me off for not participating cause my TA wasn't really on task with the whole attendance thing and everytime I showed up late he'd say "oh dont worry about it" when I went up to him at the end of class. But I had a lab before that section, so I had reason to be late. Course then, it'd be nice if he actually replied back to me. But UCSD is always out to make my academic life here frustrating one way or another, right?
Oh and I came up with an idea for my project, so I'm actually really excited about it, now if I can find all the clips of all the things I want to work with.
