today will count....eventually.

I got like a bazillion things HALF-way done throughout the entire day @__@

It took the entire day to get more than partially finished with a lot of it. This in-between phase is driving me crazy. But it's the end of the day, and I was actually up in the morning. So I guess now let's see what I've accomplished? Or more like, all the things I've HALF-accomplished, but not finished still @@;.

Half-finished things:
-Talked to Yvonne/caught up a lil on AIM
(only half accomplished cuz she and I were sposed to catch up on the phone)

-Talked to Priya a lil on AIM
(AGAIN another should-be phone date, but she was busy w/ class stuff at the time I think).

-One more entry for India Processing posts
(it took literally ALL day, where I started writing this afternoon and just kept coming back to it till I could finally finish the post. And I STILL have only written about the airport so far.)

-Uploaded India pics in group account for Matt & Joy
(this is also a half accomplishment because not only did that also take all day, but I've been trying to post these same pics on FB for a week now but its been crashing on me every time I finish selecting all the pictures)

-Dishes, dishes, more dishes
(it never ends. < 3 )

-2 chapts of Search for Significance + a walk
(still more than half the book to go. plus, walking is a daily thing. i feel like an old lady w/ my 30 min walks =P )

-Phone convo w/ Kevin
(Well, this was actually yesterday. But STILL only partially finished, cuz I still have to call him again and tell him more about India.)

-Phone date w/ Marni
(this was done a few days ago, but it really was a blessing to have been able to do =]. Huh, maybe this one wasn't half done?)

-Message Dana to try to find a way to catch up/talk to heeer
(again done on a diff day, but still half done cuz she hasn't contacted me back yet. )

-Caught up w/ Alwin
(again, not done today. kinda been continually done gradually over the days, but its been nice =] ).

-Called Peter back
(Yeahh, still not done today, but I did it last week!)

-Went through and deleted 700 unread emails
(done today! they were driving Priya crazy xD )

Hmm..I..can't really think of much more =/. But I guess that's just the pace that summer goes? There's still plenty of things I need to do. But at the same time I think the bigger accomplishments that I didn't put on the list were things that didn't so much require my own work. Like..having a family breakfast together with my mom, dad, brother, aunt, and sis again finally =]. And having a failed lunch attempt with my mom, aunt, and dad where we all sat around after realizing no one had remembered to make the rice. Seeing my lil brother off for his first day of real school and getting a pic of him in his Scrub < 3 ! And even the simple act of brb-ing to finish doing whatever I had to do instead of dropping everything completely (well okay so did break for a lil while) over getting an unexpected IM. Oh! And must not forget, getting to catch up a lil more with Yuki and have a sit down-good conversation. Oh! And finally remembering that it was SONIA I had to tell stuff to, and telling her =]. (even figuring out the stuff to tell her at all was an accomplishment)

My sis reassured me too that its okay that I miss Davis, and that it doesn't make me an ungrateful family member to. I blame Justin's key lime squares that I dont get to taste, and the study parties I don't get to crash--er..participate productively in.

But who am I to complain? I get to eat yummy food here my mommy makes, and she even gives me tips so I can learn to make it for myself too =]. I just found the recipe Annie sent me to chicken tortillas in the process of cleaning out my mailbox, so that gives me what to make for dinner next for my family. My sister's friend really wants to hang out with me and invited us all to go out on Saturday, and that's pretty exciting too. I dont know...I think I'm just enjoying myself a lot here. I love my family. I'll probably never get tired of talking about them haha.

I looked at your India pictures, by the way.

Your potato sack dress thing actually suits you!.. that sounded like it was mean, but it wasn't! It's just very beautiful and airy, even though I imagine it must have been a little uncomfortable in the heat. @_@

The kids are all adorable.

..by the way, the 'word verification' was unick, and when I read it out loud, I giggled for days. *mature*
