I went to Target yesterday because I really wanted to get out of the house.
Here's a random review of two things I bought from Maybelline:
Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector
I've been looking for a good inexpensive concealer to cover up my sleep-deprived eyes. I read some good reviews on this one, so I gave it a try. I think I got it for around $8? I was impressed with this one! It was very liquid-y and sheer, but still provided good coverage. I also liked the highlighter it came with, which really brightened my eyes. Hooray!!
XXL Volume & Length Washable Microfiber Mascara
I bought this one a whim because it was on sale for $5. It has a primer on one side, and the mascara on the other. Though it wasn't a bad mascara, it wasn't anything special either. It lengthened, but I didn't really see any volume. I tried it without the primer on one eye and with it on the other, but there wasn't much of a difference. Overall, a good basic mascara.
I have no homework today since the semester is ending tomorrow. So I'm watching a Chinese drama called When Easterly Showers Fall on the Sunny West.
It's Friday tomorrow! Lots of Chinese New Year celebrations this weekend.

So I actually did end up having a snow day. How shocking, considering that we never do since our superintendent is from Vermont and snowstorms here don't compare. I woke up, looked out the window and there wasn't even that much snow. I was expecting to have school until I checked the school closings...and then I went back to bed. I ended waking back up at around 10:30.
But it was such a boring day. I sat at home all day on the computer and talking on the phone with my boyfriend. That was pretty much it...

Here I am again, procrastinating to the max. But I am hoping with all my heart that there will be a snow day tomorrow. I could use a day to just relax after midterms. Today doesn't count with this memoir I have to write for my contemporary literature class.
I took this photo yesterday when I was at my grandparent's. I was in a rush and forgot to bring my iPod, which entertains me a bit. But I had my camera so I just took random photos. The phone in the front is mine, the LG Venus. And my sister's pink Motorola Razr is behind there, which actually used to be mine. My sister just lost her phone the Razr is its replacement, haha. She hates pink. But I love pink <3>

Random, but I've been looking to buy a gel eyeliner because I've heard they work and look a lot better than pencil and liquid. Pencil doesn't stay on very well and liquid is very harsh looking. I was reviewing the different brands and decided I would get the M.A.C Fluidline. Yeah, I get distracted very easily when I do schoolwork.
[Not in purple though]
I should get back to that memoir.
Please snow.

Happy Chinese New Year!! 新年快乐!! I hope everyone had a good one, regardless whether or not they follow the lunar calendar. I celebrated by waking up to a vegetarian breakfast and then had dinner at my grandmother's. Even though the festivities are just starting, I've gotten quite a few red envelopes already. I love how Christmas, my birthday, and Chinese New Year all follow one after another. Roll in the cash $$$, haha.

I think my midterms went pretty well today. Actually, I didn't end up presenting in Spanish because I forgot to save the PowerPoint as the old version, which the school doesn't have. Yeah, Vista doesn't work unless I convert it. So I'll be going on Wednesday, during class. If we don't have a snow day (crosses fingers!). And my statistics test was fairly straightforward. I was fretting about not studying enough, but I'm sure I go at least an A-.But one more day of midterms: tomorrow I have AP Psychology, and then String Ensemble rehearsal. I have some major studying to do, as no one tries in that class but she still gives us a ton of work. But after it's all over, I'm going to Harvard Square to hang out and eat lunch as a super late birthday thing with my friends from school. Yay!

I've spent the whole day at home. It's Chinese New Year's Eve, so my mom has been doing a lot of cooking. And I, have been sitting here doing my Spanish project. But getting distracted about every 10 seconds. A PowerPoint should not take this long, as Jeff said to me. He came over before and helped me a bit. His presence actually helps since when he's watching me, I won't stray to other sites...
We ate pretty early, which is good because it feels like I still got some time left in the day. My grandparents were here and so were the cousins. There was a lot of food but it didn't seem as good as the previous years. Maybe I've grown out of the traditional Chinese food. Oh no!
On a side note, I've developed a fascination for Lady Gaga. I really liked "Just Dance" before it became uber popular, and right now I can't stop listening to "Poker Face". Near the end of the video, she has this really cute hair bow. I attempted it, but my hair is too short. Fail. And I'm no good with hair anyways. I just comb it.
Argh I have to get back to my project!!
