august 2022


august wrapped up summer pretty well!!

[8/2] i got my first dose of monkeypox after some back and forth calling and annoying stuff with the department of health. since my home address is back in the suburbs i had to go way out into the suburbs from the city to get my dose... took forever but i was still on the clock for work >:)

[8/4] a quick lil teaser of the project i am working on for my internship. a circuit breaker simulator with some additional tools... i never wired anything before so this was #new to me

[8/5] me and the other intern finished the device and tested it with our mentor and it worked!! thank god bc we had to rewire everything bc it was super messy when i did it. was so relieved when it actually worked!!

[8/6] hung out with ajunie's art program friends in the city!! hwiy and michy. we got thai food for lunch, went to a target in the city for a few things, headed to wicker park for some ice cream then went to one of hwiy's professor's art installations. afterwards we headed back to hwiy's dorm.

[8/9] oops looks like i forgot to edit that one clip of the date... oh well. but i had the urge to go thrifting... so i went to i think three different thrift stores and bought sooo much... #retailtherapy.

[8/10] i hung out with joselyn and we got burgers in portage park and gelato in wicker park.

[8/11] juan and i drove back to the parents house with arlo. arlo meet the rest of the family for the frist time. my sister came over with hobbs and they two dogs went crazy with each other. the ragadio's and augustin's were over too bc kurt and michelle wanted to surprised both parents with being in town from california. we tried to surprise my dad but he literally turned around the moment kurt and michelle came out. we had a big ass dinner with everyone.

[8/12] this was my last day of my internship. the managers took out to lunch one of the days this week but i guess i didnt record. just realized i saw a lot of crazy stuff during my internship but i never recorded with my camera... felt like that would have been weird. i turned in all my gear and my latop and badge and stuff. drove back to the suburbs to my parents house to hang out with kurt. we watched bullet train together. pretty good movie. pretty goofy but fun.

[8/13] isabel, kurt, mom and dad and i went to a beach in like basically wisconsin illinois. it was so pretty. we talked along the trail and there was like. brutualist beach buildings.. which was so interesting. we ate our silly lil snacks on a log on a beach and talked about many things. this was like this first time isabel hung out with my family a lot and it was fun :D we ate another lil snacks under this big ass tree at another part of the beach then we headed to mitsuya to have a real lunch. n we drove back home. a couple hours later isabel and i headed to thai's birthday party. for like 3 years in a row we (both) always missed her party so we had to show up this year. it was soo nice to meet thai's friends and her family and it was a really good time. except she didnt tell us there was a theme to the party. so we looked silly not dressed like cowboys.

[8/14] i got a haircut... went a lil shorter on the top to make up for the hair that broke off from the bleach a month or two ago lmao. arlo and hobbs came over and were playing. mom helped bleach and tone my hair. ajunie, juliana and isabel and i headed to downtown naperville for dinner then juliana left. then the three of us watched nope together. such a good movie... brandon perea and steven yeun are so fucking hot.

[8/15] i had some doctors appointments. and i headed to target for some gay ass things. think... i hooked up with a guy today.. hence the gay things.

[8/16] ferlie and i played tetris together. this literally used to be our thing during 2020 quarantine. literally we played for hours straight just playing tetris together. i headed back to the city to hang out with lily dabrowski!!! i havent seen her since high school and it lined up that she was back in chicago for a lil bit. she happened to be free the day there was a courtney barnett concert. the beths and alvvays opened and they were all sooo good. this was my first time going to a concert at the morton salt shed and it was pretty nice. just very annoying venue to get to without a car. thankfully lily's parents dropped us off. it was so nice to catch up with lily. afterwards we walked to a restaurant and got burritos for dinner. lily's parents and aunt picked us up and sped to the train station for me to get home. we literally got on one platform and this lil track cleaner was on the tracks so last minute lily and i sprinted to the other platform thru a tunnel and i just made it to get on the train. i forgot to get my salt shed hat from lily but at least i made it back to the train to get home.

[8/17] my mom wanted to spend some time with me so both my parents and i went thrifting together and we got a bunch of stuff. juliana picked me up and us and isabel went to shinto for sushi and had to wait for our table so we walked around outside in the suburban landscape.

[8/18] isabel and i went to barnes and nobles in dt naperville. we walked around and ended up in north central college's campus and literally was snooping around. got the cold stone just for the animal crossing cup. and i am just now realizing i dont know where... i put the cup afterwards. we stopped by park to shop real quick for something.

[8/20] isabel and i wanted sushi again... so we went to sushi plus. right before we tried to go to a liquidation.. bins store but i think they were closed or something. i somehow spent a lot... and we ended up getting cocktails and they didn't card us :( also dasha was leaving and i saw her. i havent talked to dasha in a million years and i think she doesnt like me. hehe, we also went to target or something. mom and dad drove me back to the condo in the city and hung out with arlo.

[8/21] isabel and i went to a farmers market thing in wicker park and salsa fell and spilled on her skirt. it was a whole dilemna to try to get the stain out. i think we went thru 2 tide stain sticks and tried dish soap, rubbing alcohol and water. i got my ears pierced and isabel got her belly button pierced at this one place in logan square. while waiting for a bus (that never came) a guy at the stop light had such a cute puppy and i was trying to record her but he looked literally right as i was recording. while waiting for the train, there were cats in the apartment complex across the way we were talking. we went to a get flea market thing and it flopped sooo bad. we didnt even buy anything. we went to a culvers rlly quick to get some stuff then headed back. we headed to dt chicago and i dropped isabel off at union station and i went back home.

[8/22] first day of fall semester. started my routine for the semester where i went to my 8am class. went to the west campus (the med school campus) to work out since the gym is way less busy, went to my 12 pm class, hang out with anna for a bit then went to my 2pm class. after class, juan and i walked arlo.

[8/23] second day of class and i was meandering out. after class headed to block 37 to watch bodies bodies bodies together. i think i saw the movie earlier the week so it was my second time watching. went back to campus for the rest of my classes. i think i went to my 3pm class with merlyn and i went to my 6pm class alone ... the nuclear power class. sooo late in the night.

[8/25] just me and arlo walked together for the first time. another start of our weekly routine. i got this perfume bc i saw a guy on tiktok use it. and i also got it bc the bottle is soooo pretty. the smell is like 90s milf. delicious.

[8/26] i hung out with merlyn before our 3pm class.

[8/28] hung out with arlo more when juan went to pulong. such a silly girl.

[8/30] was my secret mission time. i had to go back all the way to the suburbs for my second dose. got caught. then headed back home to get lunch and isabel brought me back to the train to go to chicago again.

la end of august!! :D
