how time flies.

I can't believe it's already the beginning of week 3! This past week went by super fast, and it seems like I've been at San Diego forever (although it's only been 2 weeks...) We've started working on our mini-sculpture, and I am extremely excited about it! Hopefully, it will work, as it is a crucial part to our kinetic sculpture. We also started on our clock webpages, which look kind of empty so far, but perhaps in a few days they will become updated and filled with beautiful pictures/videos.

One of the nights last week, I painted henna tattoos on myself and some of my suitemates. I was using two different pens, so some of them turned out pretty dark but other ones are fading away. My favorite one is the watch that I painted on my wrist. Because of this "new watch," I've stopped wearing my old one. I also have spirals, some weird vines, sun/seagull/waves/fish seascape thing, and P and M on my ankles to represent my suite (Peppa-mint!) I really like that activity because I like to doodle, and it gave me the perfect chance to draw on myself.

On Friday, we had the scavenger hunt and the dance. The scavenger hunt made me feel like I was on the Amazing Race (one of my fave shows). It was quite amusing because our team just approached random people that we saw and asked them if they knew where things were. We flagged down this guy in a golf-cart and asked him for directions, and he was one of the two more helpful people that we encountered. If only he could have given us a ride! Spending an hour running around campus and discovering new things was quite fun, and sweaty.

The dance was alright. There was just this clump in the middle of the danceflo. Unfortunately, the music went haywire on us, so it just became a nice chit-chat time.

Saturday, my roomie left me. :( I somewhat like having less people around, because it just makes everything so much more laid-back. Going to the mall was fun, but I wish we had more time to browse. After that, we went to the cliffs and half-watched a beautiful sunset. Then, we played some volleyball back at the ERC green. My arms are sore from not playing in such a long time.

Today, we went to go see BATMAN: the dark knight. It was amazingly good (and a bit scary...). The Joker was a freakishly scary character, but there were some humorous parts as well--like the 'you complete me' part.

Now, the roomie and I are working on our stuff in our suite. It's nice to have everyone back. It's definitely returned to the usual sound-level.

Food Recap:
The most memorable meal was today's dinner. 1) It was good, and 2) I'm too tired to give a play-by-play on the other days/meals

Dinner: we had a London Broil, which is basically like steak. In my opinion, it was cooked just right. Some people don't like to see any red, and some like their meat to be all bloody, but today's was nice. Pinkish, but no blood gushing. The simple seasoning complimented the meat. The baked potatoes were good, too. Some surf camp just came today, so hopefully Cafe V isn't just making good food on the first day that groups arrive. Please, oh please.

Peace out,
Joyce
