it's been one whirlwind of a week

summer is already well underway, school's in session, and it's 90 something degrees (and counting) in riverside. its been exactly a week now since i went home for my sister, mimi's, graduation and it already seems so long ago. i had to rush back to riverside the following week to move out of my apartment, cabin 8, and it was only then that i understood why my mom fell ill every time we made a move to another house or city or country. yeah unpacking may be worse hell than packing but shoving everything into garbage bags isn't all the easy either. so three days, four showers, and a box full of consumed popsicles later, we were finally all moved out. it was the "end of an era" as quoted by my roommate. indeed. what an era.

after that i spent the whole week pretty much bumming it at my friends' house and mooching off of their everything. oh and i almost forgot. three friends and i, on our way to a celebratory moving out dinner to boiling crab, ended up stranded on the freeway for a good forty minutes. i was racing on the 60 when the tire light suddenly started blinking. i thought nothing of it until my steering wheel started shaking furiously and the car that was tailgating me sped off for safety. i pulled over and it turns out the whole rubber part of my tire flew off and i was pretty much driving on metal. i guess the accident made for good memories but honestly its made me paranoid about feeling the slightest bit of turbulence when driving.

speaking of paranoid, the house of the room i'm subleasing got robbed the other day. i was watching x-men for the second time (yes it's pretty good) and got ten missed calls. apparently someone slit the laundry room screen and climbed in the through the window. my heart literally almost stopped when i found out but luckily nothing was gone and no one was hurt. if i were an airport, my security alert color as of now would be red but i'm sure everything will be fine. i was always the kid that would never dare touch her eyes after using bug repellent for fear of becoming blind so if anything, red is me being overdramatic. i'm probably more like at orange right now.
