this past week has been fabulous. except my summer job didn't work out. on memorial monday, i went to work, learned the ropes of field canvassing and started working with the human rights campaign. as ideal as it was for me to work for the HRC, the hours with the PIRG that i was working with just didnt suit me at all. so after my first official day in the field on tuesday, i quit. they had offered to promote me to field manager and although i did fundraise a good $120 in a rather conservative neighborhood on my first night, i just couldnt see myself doing that job for the rest of my summer. so on wednesday, i began my jobhunting again, and now i'm working with Clean Water Action, another nonprofit organization where i do phone canvassing instead of field canvassing, earn a stable hourly wage with opportunities for bonuses, have an extremely flexible work schedule, and continue gaining experience working on grassroots campaigns. now all i have to do is meet my pledge quota these next three days or i'm jobless again. heh.
sunday night, may 28th was fantastic because i got to hang out with my girls! well, most of them. moe, patti, lulie, josie, and i met up for coffee and then we went to Creations on Geary for some asian desserts. we sat in their awkward communist red ikea-style seats, watched karaoke music videos playing on the flatscreen, and had our usual girly talk. afterwards, after miscommunicating with evan, moe and i were picked up by him. i ended up at wolf's house with the guys as usual. but it was a wonderful night because damn, i've missed you girls! 
thursday, june 1st was a day spent with josie and michelle after lunch with josie at toasties! it was an intense day of action....xmen3 followed by mission impossible3. 5 full hours of action movies...my eyes were blinded. after some yummy sago from sweetie cafe, i went home for dinner, met up with the boys again and played boardgames. we've played risk, aggravation, taboo, pictionary, and for many nights, settlers of catan. i suck at pictionary because i can't guess. wolf and i tend to become engrossed in our game of risk. we all get overly excited by aggravation, a game for 6 year olds, mind you, and taboo...is just taboo. ;D it's been uberly fun just hanging out in wolf's chill pad, playing boardgames. too bad wolf is going off to the uk for the next 2 weeks. poo. ;(
on saturday, evan, wolf, and i made a trip across the bay bridge to see jenny in oakland! we went there to pick up my viola, abduct jenny for lunch at zachary's, and a visit to ikea. unfortunately we missed the exit to emeryville and ended up going to home earlier than we had planned. oh well. i went downtown anyway to do some shopping and omg, urban outfitters had one of their humongous sales...half off of on sale items!!! i bought a pair of fabulous grey jeans for $10, down from $64! sweet deal! saturday night was awesome as well because i got to see nicole, thomas, joyce, lisa, jun yi, alyssa, judy, julia, and rialyn!! we celebrated nicole's birthday, and although i couldnt make it to teriyaki house for dinner, i joined them for a night of karaoke at do re mi in jtown. omg, nicole and i almost made it through bohemian rhapsody! what an absolutely fantastic day ;D
sunday was a chill day at home, then pictionary at wolf's. these past couple of days have been filled with jobhunting and relaxing at home and yummy lunches with evan. summer feels like it's flying by fast....i simply can't stand it! i can't believe it's already wednesday...halfway through my third week of summer! ;O
