Today was a pretty good day, despite a crappy beginning. I woke up at 8 for my Asian America discussion, which was okay. TA, Christopher Woon, was cool (cute), but didnt seem like he knows what to do. I went to Chem discussion, which was bad since i didnt know we have to do the hw assignment b4 we go over it in lecture (wth?) So ppl just pulled out their work &started asking questions, &i just felt very lost. The thing is, the questions that they asked (aka, the ones on the hw), weren't easy. I had a hard time following them :( Then i had my Art History lecture, which is my fav lecture s far. All of that was back to back to back. It sucks that i couldn't pay attention in the classes i was in, bc i was worried about how to get to the next class on time >< Then in the afternoon, i had chem w/ Lavelle. I thought he was going to review hs chem, but he jumped straight into properties of light ! &i totally spaced out bc it was a physic thing, not a chem thing... So i guess i'm behind in chem now, &i thought i'd never let that happen. Ugh !
I met Laura in my Chem lecture, so we hung out together after class. She took me to a UCLA bearwear shop down in Westwood, &i bought the sweater i wanted for about $30, which is cheaper than Ackermann's WITH coupon . Then i went with her to a medical-research seminar, which was awesome. I felt inspired to start doing some research work &travel over the summer to another university. They told us about the programs, how to sign up, what to do, etc. It was exciting bc i've been kinda bummed that e.b. on my floor has been concerned w/ nothing but rush &sorority. It's nice to know i've finally found sth meaningful to do &it doesn't involve doing stupid crap. So i'll probably look into that soon. There's seriously just SO MUCH to do. E.t. is back to back to back. I'm having a hard time just planning things out and making it to those places. Yikes!
Then after that we wen to Westwood to explored. We saw a bunch of clothing shops, went in Trader Joe's, spent like an hour in Borders. I got a book &donated 5 bucks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation to fulfill cancer children's dreams. My feet were in excruciating pain; i was limping by the end of the day. But it was worth it. Such a great trip <3 After 11 pm, Theresa's uncle took us to her house. Her family was pretty cool! Her uncle Dave is actually white and has a cool British accent. Her mom is beautiful. She has 2 superrrrr cute dogs, one of which looks like a giant cotton ball, with HUGE eyes. So cute <3 And now here i am, at home. It's very comforting <3. I spoke to my dad on the phone today, briefly. It's been awhile since we spoke on the phone, &it kinda scared me that he sounds EXACTLY like my grandpa, his father. For a brief moment, the future flashes through my eyes... I went home, showered and ate mom's food, even though i was pretty full from the dorm's food. I know it would please her (: I'm happy to be back home, where things are peaceful by night and functional by day (=
Hate:
- i hate that though my roommates are so awesome, they hang out with crappy girls - the party asian girls who constantly, uninvitingly step into our room to ask them to go party. Ask THEM, mind you. I don't exist apparently.
- i hate that the asian girls bought alcohol for my roommate. There are now bottles of alcohol in our fridge.
- i hate that my roommates alway open our door, even when they're not in the room &our laptops are out. Nvm that, no one good has ever come into our room when we leave the door opened anyways.
- i don't like that even though i asked the nice girls on the same floor to call me whenever they go to dinner, they still haven't done so. I don't like going to dinner alone anymore.
- i don't like that there're so many ppl all the time. Nvm the privacy, it makes one feel extremely self-conscious about oneself.
- i dislike how although college is supposed to grant me unlimited independence, i AM dependent, bc i don't know anything! I dont know where to go, how to get there, who to go with. So i'm just stuck walking by myself back and forth between places. Sucks. I'm beginning to understand how it feels to be lonely among a crowd, too.
Like:
- i really like how nice my roommates are. They think i'm hilarious, apparently. We went out for lunch once and they laughed with me the whole time. (: They said im funny even when im not trying :o
- i like walking around
