Why am I still awake?
Riley’s Place, Woodside, Ca.
p.s. It’s 1am late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. I’ve been awake since 9am on Monday morning. That’s like…40 hours. Why aren’t I sleeping yet??
Reservations have been made!!
We are going camping!! And by “we” I mean a group of awesome girls and myself.
I am too busy with finals to actually get started on the planning and acquiring of gear but very very soon I will start tearing my garage apart to find all my stuff.
Things I need to purchase or find for free-
* a sleeping pad or inflatable mattress (I like to sleep in comfort)
* a raft or boat of...

JUDITH
I did a presentation on a lesbian, queer theorist, feminist, anti-zionist, post-structuralist today for my contemporary theories class. I HATE PRESENTATIONS but I got through it and I don’t think it was too horrible.
Hey Judith Butler, I’m never reading any of your work ever again, EVER.

Steph’s baby is going to be here soon!!
Her real name is Annabella but I call her Annie OR Annie Boo Boo Child.
I am seriously so excited and happy and anxious and excited and happy :) :)
rant continued from months ago.
So I rent (pay a friend) to use a carport at an apartment complex right next to my school. When I got to my spot today there was a mini van parked in front of it, right in the drive way, blocking me from getting to my spot. I was bummed. This kinda stuff has happened before and usually makes me miss my class. You see, all of the street parking around the campus is either 1 or 2 hour limit....
WatchCash and Tiger. I luv them.
WatchFun in Walmart with my BFFL (pronounced biffle), Steph. She’s gonna be a mama annnyyday now. I can’t wait!!

Poor Future
It took me a long time to settle on sociology as my major. I actually changed my major a few times while at CSM but in the end I decided sociology was for me. And even though I’m currently sitting in a sociology class right now, not paying attention, I do love sociology.
In the years while I was changing back and forth people would tell me “Chelsea, you need to major in something that...

goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend...
I just created a facebook event page for Alysia’s going away party. Alysia is my oldest (23 years) bestest friend in the whole fucking world. She’s moving to Saudi Arabia on Saturday and I’ll pretty much never see her again :*(
Here’s my karaoke song list so far-

I love you, California
Is this not the cutest bear holding California you’ve ever seen??
Writing “I love you, California coast” in my last post made me remember a song I had heard a long time ago called “I love you, California”. Apparently it’s our state song…I hate no idea! The lyrics are really beautiful and perfectly illustrate why California is the best state evvver. I...
Tides
So yesterday’s low tides were perfectly scheduled for 3pm. Thanks Mr. TideLord. I usually (like once every 5 years lol) go to The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Moss Beach but this time we decided to try a new place in Princeton…turned out to be a great idea!
We saw some AWESOME stuff!! Like a 22 legged sunflower starfish…didn’t get a good picture of that one :( and like a...
You piss me off!
I’ve sat here and tried to figure out if my feelings of hate toward Peta are justified. I’m leaning toward yes, they are justified. Peta does some good, I’ll admit that. But any organization that spends their money on crappy campaigns like this deserves to be hated by me. p.s. I’m not some weirdo anti-vegetarian. Accusing parents of child abuse because they feed their...

Global Sociology - B
Family, Kin, and Community - A
Sociological Analysis - A
Social Science Core II - B
I somehow came out of last semester with nothing lower than a B. That’s GOOD!!
I hate people
like this…
I look at this picture and read this quote and just hope/pray (and whatever else works) that this little girl has someone in her life that will help steer her away from turning out anything like her mother.

papers. grades still to come.
I wrote a lot this semester and would really like to keep track of all of these papers. What better place than my lovely little blog?
Child Rearing in Kibbutzim between the 1930s and 1980s. For an anthropology class.
Women of the Yao and Masai Cultures. For the same anthropology class. (Grade: A. woohoo)

Oh Ryan Ryan Ryan.
Ryan Gosling may not be vegetarian, but that’s not stopping him from ruffling feathers at McDonald’s over the company’s outdated chicken-slaughter practices. The 29-year-old Canadian actor has just fired off a letter on behalf of PETA to McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner. Check it:
“Dear Mr. Skinner, I was shocked to learn from my friends at PETA that McDonald’s, a company that...
damn look at these shoes!
So the CASA office got a huge donation of fully built Build a Bears. The bears were built to be donated to the foster children who are served through San Mateo CASA. Ideally the foster kids would be brought into the office to pick out a bear but because of scheduling conflicts I was unable to bring my kid in to pick out her bear. Soooo, I went in to pick two out, one for her and one for her...

This is so cute!!

So first it was the Magnums and now this!
When I first got to Holland people used to have to drive to Belgium to buy this stuff. By the time I was stocking up on stuff to bring home I found it at Super De Boer (grocery store across town that I didn’t normally shop at) and now you can get a generic brand of it in California! What the ef man!? lol.
Can someone tell me where I can find...
runaways and homeless dogs
My mom called me today to tell me that a Chihuahua had followed her and Cash home. Later after she had called me she went knocking on a bunch of doors and finally found its home. Yay! I have an aversion to Chihuahuas.
Here’s Cash (not a Chihuahua) with his new haircut. This was taken right after he rough-housed for about 20 minutes. He was pooped!

thoughts
I’ve been trying to formulate my thoughts and opinions on two subjects.
1. The occupy movement. We talk about it all day in class and then I come home and see everyone complaining about it online. I have an opinion just need to figure out how to word it…not that it really matters what my opinion is but this is my blog so I guess this is the best place for it.
2. When people say...
10 things I hate about you.
you’re ugly
you’re stupid
Just kidding. I just love 10 Things I Hate About You and this picture…
a few good things.
I’m obsessed with American Horror Story. There, I admitted it. I’ve been trying to figure out who the rubber man is and if Violet is dead or alive. I NEED to know NOW.
And even less surprising…I’m going to see Twilight tonight! Yes, that means I will be waiting in line surrounded by a billion young teens who will probably be debating if Bella should actually be sticking...

1. You’re in the far left lane (fast lane) on 280 going 70 miles per hour when Chelsea comes up behing you. It’s obvious to you that she would like to go a bit faster than you are going. What do you do?
a) stay where you are, you’re going fast enough and Chelsea needs to just deal with it and/or pass you on the right.
b) move over, the fast lane is for whoever wants to go...

I’d like to let everyone know that I saw Julia Roberts and her husband in Half Moon Bay last weekend. I’d like to add that I DID NOT run up to her, ask her for her autograph, take pictures, or anything like that. This aint 10 years ago and she is definitely not Green Day…duuuuh! But a few minutes after I walked past her she walked into the cooking store (yes, I love food and...

Tamale Basket for Mayan Families.
The organization I sponsor Dina through is collecting donations for Christmas Tamale Baskets. Many families that are involved with this organization do not have sponsors and may not have any food for their Christmas Eve tradition. If you’re looking for a good cause to donate to this holiday season (or purchase in honor of someone you know or would like to buy a gift for) please consider...
"I'll see you in court, buddy!"
I skipped school today to observe a real court hearing. I got to see 10 different cases; 9 dependency and 1 delinquency. It was so fascinating!! but made me realize (again) that I definitely do not want to be a county social worker…or attorney or a judge for that matter. Way too much pressure.
Observing the court today was the last step in my CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate)...
