YOU GUYS!!! THIS IS SO CRAZY GOOD I CAN'T EVEN!!!



This ain't bad either, but the above video, holyyyyyyyy!!@!!!@@! Seriously, my jaw dropped (I initially typed that as draw jopped... that's how blown away I am) when I was watching it. And there were a few moments where I just got chills.

Starting to get my first emails from Stanford and from the rest of my cohort. Only 36 of us! Can't wait to meet everyone. Up until now, Stanford seemed a bit like a faraway thing that I'd be doing a couple of months from now... But after getting that first email from one of my classmates, I thought... wow, this is real. In four months, I'll get to meet this person! Amazing.

Someone's already started a Facebook group, and I'm looking forward to getting to know people there. Haha, ironic, since I practically don't touch Facebook, but now I feel like one of those silly incoming MHC firsties who are all up on Facebook with the rest of their incoming class talking about MHC. Except the difference is that there's only 36 of us so we are definitelyyyyy gonna get to know one another over the next year.

Starting to get excited! XD

Finally got an acceptance letter from Claremont Graduate... and they gave me lots of money too (38%), and I could probably ask for more (maybe up to 50%?), but alas... too late for them really.

I got accepted to Stanford!!

Um, not gonna lie. I really dig that coupe. I mean, coop.

Serious case of coop envy right here.

(Also, lolol, his rooster's name is Russel Crow. lololol)

So, I think my mom is secretly five years old.

She went out shopping for groceries today, and she came back with... 3 more baby chicks.

!!!!!!!

>_<;

While I have to admit that these chicks are seriously cute and adorable, still... MORE BABY CHICKS!?!!

Especially since she's going off to China in two weeks, leaving me to be a single parent for a month to these three babies. T_T

And I also have to worry about my tiny black chick, which, despite being 4 weeks older that these babies, is just a smidgen bigger. So we're grouping the tiny black chick with the babies now...

So yes, single motherhood and 4 baby chicks to take care of. Not to mention the 8 rebellious teenagers.

Um... anybody want to be a chick-sitter?

Today, the cutest cat ever hopped onto the hood of my car. And then climbed onto my driver's side window and meowed hello. CUTEST CAT EVER!







If I had opened my window, it would have fallen into my lap.

Nothing really new to report. Got a new part-time job with a tutoring company based in Newport Beach, but I'll be tutoring in the Claremont area. Had training last Sunday, and I think I'm gonna really like working for this company. Really like the structure of it, and I think I'm going to learn a lot about different ways to run my own tutoring gigs and how to handle students. Lots to learn, so I'm excited about this partnership.

Also, now I know how strong my interview skills are. Apparently I killllled it at the interview. =D

Chick update:
The chicks are getting soo bigggg now. Except for the little black one, who still manages to give me a scare. Yesterday it was limping again, and wasn't eating much, and there was a little bleeding near its eye where the others might have been pecking at it. =(

But today, no more limping, and it ate lots of food overnight. Was running around with all the others when we let them out in the backyard today. So yay!

I wish all my chicks would stop growing. I just want them to stay little forever! (Now I know how my mom feels about wishing I was still 5.) Well, except for the little black one. I want him to grow up a bit so I can stop worrying that he's gonna get crushed by one of the big chicks. They're literally three times his size!

AHAHAHAHA. Yes.

Been pretty crazy for the past couple of days.

Chick update:
In the past week, we lost two more chicks. One just died for no apparent reason we could see, and the other, my smartest, bravest, healthiest chick, was taken by a crow. Sigh. I really miss the last one. It was the one who was smart enough to run to my flyswatter. Sigh. RIP.

Other than that, have been really busy with moving furniture and tutoring. I need to take care of my own shit soon, but I can't seem to leave my chicks. One of them has taken the place of my smart chick as ringleader, and has learned to come to my flyswatter. It helped me with the grieving process that this chick, which we call Mama, will let me pet it or hold it while I swat flies to feed it. And another chick, One-Eye (because my uncle damaged its other eye), likes to come and sleep in my shadow, usually next to my foot.

I figured out what breeds they were today. They are Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks.
The new ruler of the flock, Mama, and another chick looks like this:

Three of the chicks look more or less like this:

My tiniest chick looks like this:

Two of my chicks look like this:

The last chick is a fat yellow fuzzy one, and now that I think about it... might actually be a different breed. I think he's refusing to grow up, since his feathers are growing in so slowly, BUT HE'S GETTING SO FAT. And he likes yogurt.
More of less looks like this, except fluffier. A bigger fluffier butt:
