a regular kind of recap
because I really haven't in a while. Lots has been going on!
I am halfway through my last quarter of freshman year and I must say it is the most hectic of them all! Besides being pretty exhausted and/or lazy 24/7 I have been occupying myself with the following...
SCHOOL
I have a midterm and a test this week and also a prospectus for my research paper. This quarter is a lot more busy work than I have ever had to deal with but I suppose it's keeping me in check so I don't completely failS on tests/papers. Although I didn't do super well on my first HumCore paper but...sigh. ): I'm currently working on a research paper about urban planning/environmental design, which is really related to the paper about new urbanism I turned in a couple weeks back...I'm gonna be an expert, seriously! And I'm actually considering urban planning as a major/minor so we'll see where this goes.
PLEDGING
Still a lil sis pledge. It's actually realllly fun and getting to know my pledge sisters and the bros is pretty cool. You learn a lot about different people/why they behave the way they do when you are thrust into an already established group of friends. I've been observing and it teaches you a lot about how to conduct yourself in the way you deem most fit...hard to explain, but I'm enjoying myself tremendously. It's always nice to have something to look forward to, and there are a lot of events that they planned for us. Fun times.
Also me and my pledge sisters went to the tattoo parlor over the weekend and got some piercings hehe. I'm probably gonna be back there sooner than I thought.
WORK
My first day of work was today! So I got up at the crack of dawn (6:30 AM) to don my UCI Dining polo and hat and really weird rubber shoes. It was pretty chill, all I really had to do was make coffee and work the register. Everyone was really nice, too, even though today was NOOB day and I was ultimate noobs. Plus I got free sushi at the end, YEE!!
Also one of my co-workers is a staff writer for the UCI paper, the New University. The editor-in-chief came in to buy coffee and we chatted for a bit and I gave him my email which MEANS I'm probably gonna be writing for the New U SOON!! Either this quarter if I have time or next year. (: Connections baby!
Besides all that not much has been going on. Summer plans are falling into place and it looks like I probably won't be taking summer school at UCI this year. What IS happening:
-GETTING MY LISENCE
-summer school at De Anza perhaps
-job. Baskin Robbins anyone?? HAHAh...
-Irvine trip to move into my apartment/stay for a while? ANY TAKERS? We can stay there and make some trips to Disneyland & the beach etc... (:
-going to Indonesia in early September
and then I guess school begins again late Sept! Time sure does fly.
It's funny reading the seniors' statuses or wall posts about college. I chanced upon an "09 goes to college" facebook group when I was avoiding doing work and it kinda made me sad. I feel old. ): I wanna be young and excited for college again! Cause all I really want to do right now is go home and be lazy. Hopefully this summer will be revitalizing enough.
Also, I reallllly want to go snowboarding. REALLLY BADLY. ):
I texted my sister earlier this week about shiiiit that was going on in my life and I'm finding more and more how similar we are. It shouldn't be surprising but I never really thought of her as someone I'd talk to about my problems. I guess we're really similar in how we deal with things and how we view things...so it's definitely nice realizing that someone who's been right beside you this whole time is actually a lot more than what you thought. NTS talk to sister more. (: But yeah she offered me this one great piece of advice: "keep your pimphand strong and be hard."
HAHAHAHA......truth.
That's pretty much it...I think I'm gonna take a nap.
