| | This was the best weekend that I've had in the longest time! 
On Friday after work I hung out with John for awhile and looked at him
working on his Z. It's pretty cool to see someone work on a car, it
makes me think of when I work on my computer haha. Cool to see someone
put a lot into what they do. Then John gave me a ride to Qualcomm
Stadium. There I met up with the crew.
I wanted to race but didn't have the money. I WOULD have had the money, but there was a good deal on DVD-R! 
I got 3 packs of 25 DVD-R. So that would make it 75 DVD-R discs total!
It only cost me $25 too, so now you know why I didn't have enough money
to race lol. Can't pass up such good prices on DVD-R. Haha enough
computer talk, it's getting nerdy.
All I can say is, watching a drag race in person is WAY BETTER than
seeing it on TV. It's hard to describe the vibe. But there were lots of
people lined up, the smell of burned rubber in the air, and a lot of
smoke! I got to be a passenger in John's Z which was pretty chill. I
even got to borrow a helmet 
Even though it only lasted about 9 seconds, it was pretty cool to just
speed along the track. Even if I was just a passenger. There was
this funny supped up Volvo that beat so many cars LOL!  I'm pretty excited for the next time I get to go to Qualcomm, this time I'll probably race!
Haha I didn't actually race (I was just a passenger), this is just me
posing for the camera in John's Z (Car made by Datsun/Nissan). Thanks
John!
Then on Saturday I ate at a Japanese Restaurant called Ume No Ya. SOOO
HARD TO FIND! I got lost! Haha my teacher started laughing because I
couldn't find the restaurant. I had a fun time at the restaurant, it
was the best! It was even cooler because
the teacher gave me and two other students some Japanese Bandanas. We
got them because we never missed class or usually always went to class.
My Japanese teacher is the coolest teacher ever!
Haha everyone said I looked like a kid. The food at the restaurant was
OK. I really liked the fish though. Mackerel (sp?) tastes really good!
I really want to visit Japan or study abroad there, but now that I'm
working I don't want to leave my co-workers behind. I know for sure
that if I leave for a year to study abroad that I'll probably be
replaced or something... My job is the best, and I have the coolest
co-workers. Plus I get paid $10 an hour! (Haha why do I keep mentioning
this???). If I left and came back, it would be so hard to find a job
this good. So my plan is to graduate, and then when I work and get paid
vacations I'll visit Japan!
This weekend reaffirmed how happy I am that I have friends. Sure I may
not have a girlfriend or anything, but I have a lot to be happy about!
(A girlfriend would make things a million times better though,
ROFLMAO!) Now I know why people take pictures, they take them because
they won't want to forget cherished memories...
Sometimes I wish I could just freeze time in the present. I just
finished this Japanese Drama called Orange Days and the ending was a
bittersweet one. It made me think of what will happen to me and my
friends when we graduate from college, and how hard it will be to keep
in touch with everyone. I'm so lucky that despite the struggles that we
all go through, that me and my best friends have remained best friends
throughout all these years. One of them lives in Georgia right now, but
I still try my best to keep in touch. He'll be here in the
Summer, so it'll be really fun to have him hang out with us again.
It'll be like "old times" again.
