I woke up early (does noon count? it's a sunday) today determined to do something... I went to ARC and did my leg workout, which I haven't done for a while. It was nice to get back into things, but I developed that nauseous feeling, like the one you get when you run your hardest. As long as I stay consistent, I won't have to deal with that feeling anymore. After that, I ate and then went to mass, and then spirit rally practice. I haven't started filming anything for commercials, but then again, I didn't have a camera. We were fairly productive, but at one point we spent 15 minutes trying to determine a good hug for our skit. Afterwards, we went to In-and-Out where I saw my brother's friend Uriel (who I've seen 4 out of the last 6 days I think) and Rae, who's been MIA, but only because she's one the busiest people at UCI, besides being a computer engineering major. I joked that I had to sit next to Mom, so she sat at a different table, giving me evil looks. I guess it's a mom thing. A few of us left for Parkwatts 25A, and since I didn't want to deal with parking, I rode with David. You'd think they'd put in angle parking or something to remedy the horrendous parking situation, but I guess the revenues from towing are better for the Irvine Apartment Company than guest parking. We parked all the way on the far side of Parkwatts and walked for a good 5 minutes (uphill both ways, in the snow) to 25A. Cristina, Nim, Flo, Fran, and Shelby were there, chilling. I was tossing a hacky-sack to Cris and I accidentally hit the VCR (I was tossing with my left hand... limited coordination), and I got the look of death from Mom... I don't need to see that look ever again.

Dave drove me back to In-and-Out at 1 am to get my car, and he told me about how he fell asleep on the freeway and lost the front lip on his car when he hit something. On the way home, I took the long route, cutting through UCI so I could speed (safely of course) around campus and skip some stoplights. On the freeway, I played with the thought of testing my top speed (also safely, on long straights with no other traffic) again, but I figured there might be a cop around. Lucky for me I didn't, because right as I merged onto the 73, two police cars had pulled over some guy. I took my exit on Fair Dr and cruised down, but hit a red light on Fairview. I checked to see who triggered the red light because I don't like stopping on Fair Dr (the lights can take forever), but I didn't see any cars. The light changed quickly back to green and I check left and right before I cross, which isn't really a habit of mine, but when I was driving to the ARC I realized that I'd drive through crosswalks or make right turns without looking to the sides for pedestrians. I saw an eclipse come around from the left on Fairview (you can't see cars coming from that direction until they're almost in the intersection), going pretty fast, but I expected it to stop. I start to roll forward and then I look again at the eclipse, which proceeds to barrel through the red light. WHOA. I think He made me check that time. That eclipse had to have been going about 50, and I would have been T-boned. Check those intersections kids... they're dangerous. Drive safe!
