8-10:30 Health was pretty mellow today. We took a small quiz on psychological disorders and a self evaluation quiz on "how high our self esteem is". Needless to say, i scored in the range of "high self-esteem". We wrote adjectives using the letters of our names and mine was Sexy? Yes. Lavish, Vicious And Narcissistic. We also went outside and played "human pretzel". The point of the game is to see if together we could untangle our arms by using teamwork.

10:30-11 Took the 29 to Sunset and Noriega and walked around Noriega for a while. I haven't been there in quite a while and saw a cafe that made me kind of nostalgic. I remember one of my ping pong friends (Chris) brought me there one time and bought me a Vietnamese sandwich when the club closed too early one day and I was waiting for my mom to pick me up. Yeah, kind of random.

11-12:30 Ate Pho with David. I was quite indecisive with what I wanted to order so David suggested flipping a coin. It landed on heads so i ordered the Beef Noodle Soup & David ordered the Chicken Noodle Soup. After we finished we walked around AP Ginini and I watched David's last vlog on his ITouch.

12:30-1:30 Took the 71 to Irving. I have never taken the 71 before so I was quite nervous but I got to my destination safely. Because i was early for my SAT class, I decided to study in the library for a while.

1:30-5:30 SAT classes with Randolph. Learned some basics for the Writing section. We also read an interesting article called "Why Mcdonalds Fries Taste So Good" from Fast Food Nation which was quite interesting. It supported the fact that a lot of processed foods only taste good because of engineered flavors and smells. One fact that startled me was that taste only counts for 10% of the food and smell counts for a whopping 90%. That kind of reminded me of last week when i went to Fisherman's Wharf with Vivian and just walking near Coldstone's Creamery made me want to buy some ice cream because of the strong sweet smell.

5:30-6:30 Took the 44 home.

So this is probably going to be most of my summer- Health, SAT classes and spending time with friends. But as for now, I will probably work on one of my newly aquired hobbies...gardening!
