1) Hockey. I know, I know, this one's obvious but after yesterday's game (triple overtime, an amazing winning goal from Bobby Ryan), I'm even more excited for games than ever. Friday is the Ducks home opener and then Sunday is Corey Perry Night in honor of him winning the Hart Trophy!
2) Music. Evanescence has their first album out in five years. I love Amy Lee's haunting voice. It'll be interesting to see where where the primarily new (besides Amy) band takes their music and I'm definitely looking forward to it.
3) I get my dress back. Remember the dress I'm wearing to the charity event I was tellig you about? I had to take it in to a tailor's in order to get cups so I wouldn't fall out (if you know what I mean). Once I get the dress back, all I need for the event is makeup, jewelry, and shoes!
What about you? Anything you're excited for?

Sunshine Sunday
1) The Ducks arrived in Finland safe and sound! Tuesday, they have an exhibition game in Helsinki and then their season opener Friday in Finland against the Sabres and Saturday in Sweden against the Rangers.
2) South Park and House, M.D. start back up! I love those shows (I really am hoping House steps it up!)
3) It's October! This is one of my favorite months (after November, of course!), and even though I live in the stagnant Southern California, the sunsets are beautiful, the trees change, the leaves fall... I love it. Plus, there's Halloween and Halloween at both Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm (traditions me and Jeshicka will not give up!). The only downside is that all of my midterms are this month as well. Eh. We all have to take them. Oh, and best of all, hockey season officially starts!
4) I found my dress for the Ducks charity event! It's navy blue and a couple of inches from my knees from Victoria's Secret. Now if only tickets would come on sale... (Here)
5) My mom's getting a new television installed this week. It's better than our new one and she seems to be really excited about it, so I'm happy for her.

Sunshine Sunday
1) The real first week of school. I know, I know, I'm a nerd. But once you're done with your general education, you get classes that focus on your major and, at least, for me, I'm really psyched to learn more about mine. Oh, and since I'm a nerd, I finished all the reading for this coming week over the weekend so I don't have to worry about that!
2) Hockey. When am I not excited about hockey? The Ducks play their cross-town rivals the Kings tonight, Wednesday they head back to Vancouver, and Friday they play the Kings again. I know it's just preseason, but I'm still excited!
3) Birthdays. My dad's birthday is on Tuesday! He'll be 51 this year. He looks, maybe, like he's in his forties though. Good for him.
4) Music. blink-182's new album comes out on Tuesday as well. I love them. I can't stop listening to "All of This" (especially the bridge - it gets me every time!) and whenever "First Date" and "All the Small Things" come on, I get ridiculously, goofy-happy. I dance in my car. Definitely looking forward to this album.
5) Braces. My brother gets his braces off on Thursday. He's ecstatic. He's had them on in what feels like forever and I'm just so excited for him.
Anything you're excited for this week?

Sunshine Sunday
Sundays are usually reserved for relaxation, for groaning because Monday brings school or work or waking up early to take your brother to school... But I digress. So I wanted to talk about things this week that have made me happy and what I'm looking forward to this week. Ready? Okay!
1) Hockey is BACK! Well, almost. I attended the Ducks' training camp the past two days and it gets me super-excited for the season. Getzy and Perry were pushing each other (playfully, of course!), Bobby Ryan was goofing around with his teammates, Hiller was nearly back to his best (but vertigo is scary to have for a starting goalie), and my personal favorite Dan Ellis, is on top of his game! I also found a couple of players to watch out for (crossing my fingers that they make the team): Andrew Gordon and Mark Bell.
2) I start school on Thursday. I'm a bit nervous (I know an actual university is different from a community college but I'm not quite sure what those differences are yet and as such, can't prepare) but the closer it gets, the more excited I am. I am planning to go to sporting events (Why can't UCI have a football team? Why?) and socialize. I'm hoping that UCI is where I'll belong, not just for academics but because I care about the school as a whole. Plus, there's a bunch of cool activities during Welcome Week including screening X-Men: First Class on the Green.
3) Demi Lovato's new album comes out on Tuesday. I love her, her voice, and her songs, and I am looking forward to hearing what she has to offer.
4) TV. I'm a confessed couch potato who works out, okay? All my favorite shows premiere this week (Community, The Office, Glee, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family) and new shows that I'm looking forward to checking out (Whitney, Two Broke Girls, The New Girl, The X-Factor, Last Man Standing) and new shows that I checked out last week that I like (Free Agents, Up All Night). Granted, I will/have watched a lot of these on my computer because I can't watch everyone at once. I'm sad that I have to wait until October for Bones and all year until True Blood. But I'm sure some shows (and hockey) will tide me over.
5) Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper by Geoffrey Gray. You know my love for Depression-Era gangsters. D.B. Cooper is kind of like that, but for the 1970's. He's polite and charming and jumped out of a flying airplane with two hundred thousand dollars strapped to his chest on a rainy night after threatening to blow up said plane with a bomb. No one was harmed and to this day, nobody knows who Mr. Cooper really is. I love this stuff. Especially when the author wrote about an old woman who compared D.B. Cooper to John Dillinger. The gangster-geek in me squealed like a school girl! If you're into this kind of stuff, I definitely recommend it!
What about you? Any things you're looking forward to this week?
