| So I've been in school for four weeks (it doesn't really feel like it). It didn't quite hit me until the night before school started that this would be the last year. Maybe deciding that grad school wasn't for me the week before helped a little bit with that feeling. I find myself rather busy, but I'm not really sure with what. My senior year is full of fluff classes that I didn't know I had to take or just neglected to do so until now. After being super academically and career focused for the last 3 years (and changing the emphasis of that multiple times), now I'm busy doing all the random activities i had to quit or never had the time to start. It is amusing though, because trying new things now and taking care of a few general requirement classes means that half the people in them are freshman. And I'll be damned if it isn't hilarious to watch a bunch of kids flounder around in confusion for the first few weeks mixed in with a batch of apathetic seniors. | | |
| In the past two weeks I've found myself doing a lot of the things I did in high school, but with different people. And apparently a lot of those places had beer and I didn't notice or care then. Either way it's still rather silly fun to go back to wandering around Venice beach, playing pool in some random place (haven't found anywhere else since Breakzone), and playing a bit of minigolf. Granted that was all compacted into two weekends since weekdays now are for working. On that note, who in the world decided it was a good idea to let me make video games for small children. Poor future small children... | | |
| It's been some ridiculous number of years that I've had this xanga. That's a lot of teen angst. But on to why I'm on here. I'll go backwards for the past month: Today I was in Solvang wine tasting. I don't much care for wine, but it was a birthday, so why not. On a side note I bought a bag of flaming hot cheetos after reading Lindar's post about them and it made me really want a bag. They ARE good, I haven't had any in a while. Yesterday was the end of my first week of work. Instead of working, we got the day off and everyone got tickets to go see Pirates instead. Awesome! Last week I was in Prague and London to visit Rama and one of my roommates respectively. Double the fun! Before that I lived in a lab for two weeks for finals started off by a nice house party and trip to Coachella. And that was the past month. Anyways continuing work in North Hollywood for the duration of the summer means I'll be in LA all summer. Give a hoot and holler. | | |
| After a month of trying to do stuff every weekend, I'm looking forward to nothing more than sitting at home all weekend and maybe a nice dinner. Ok, so I always look forward to a nice dinner, but that is beyond the point. I realized I've been pretty lucky this semester and living the stereotype. Signing up for a boatload of business classes sounded like it would be a nice easy semester, and I was afraid that was just be a stereotype, but it's turned out well. I'm not saying it's any easier, it's just a different type of difficult that doesn't involve me staying up all night all the time, and that's been amazing. And anything that lets me take a month to travel, celebrate my birthday, and see friends is good enough for me. Also, I'm not sure if I already mentioned it, but I'm definitely going to be in LA this summer. Whoo! | | |
| So lately I've decided that there's a bunch of crazy random things I want to do and that I really should get to making a list of all the things I want to do before I die. (Watching that one Scrubs episode helped). Well I'm not quite at one of the ones I've always been aiming for anyways, but between last weekend and this one, I've managed to go snowboarding and sailing. One day I'll get you, elusive task of hitting the beach and the slopes in the same day... Either way, it's good fun to spend a full day or two with people stuck together shivering on a ski lift or on a boat. What makes someone want to write a list with a morbid deadline? Probably the fact that most of the things on the list are so random or silly or grand that it would be hard to keep them in mind otherwise. Once I make a list, I fully expect to be able to figure out which ones I can get done before I get old and things break but while I have a crappy college student budget. | | |
