can't believe it happened again

While I was writing my entry, IE crashed! and I lost my super-long entry. ugh.

Here's a very disturbing article.
The longer immigrants stay in the U.S., more likely they are going to be obese. Staying in the U.S. is detrimental to immigrants' health. I should remind myself about this article as my stay in the U.S. gets longer. Or, should I go back to Japan???

random stuff-cat seducing power: cats, including the ones that are not friendly to people, like me. Kaoru-san's cat (Chakko-chan) doesn't like people...but when I was babysitting Riku-kun, Chakko-chan voluntarily came to me and let me pat him. Same thing happened with Fonzie and Susie. Do I have cat seducing power??? Whatever it is, all I know is that this power doesn't work for men. (well, if it did, i wouldn't be single :-p)

-today is the last day of classes. finals on Fri, Tues, and Wed. almost there.
-it's super cold today in NYC. it was 25-degrees this morning. If it's below freezing temperature, it should at least snow. we haven't had first snow of the season yet.
-called my mom this morning to see if she got a package from me. yes, she did. she told me she's been sick. bit worried about her. :-(
-don't want to go to study session for social psych. study sessions are usually useless--some people ask bunch of stupid questions to take up the whole session and nothings gets done. there's another study session later on tonight but i will skip both of them.
-finally got my black coat from Esprit last night. it's really nice!!! i like it a lot!!!
