I am soo absolutely TIRED !
Last weekend, i went home early w/ Tim instead of going at night w/ Theresa, bc my mom sounded sad when i told her i'd rather go w/ her (Theresa). We ended up going home really late anyway; i passed out on the couch. W/ the exception of reading 2 pg for Art, i did absolutely NO hw. Went out &saw Salt w/ the family. Then sunday, i had to get up early to go back to UCLA for Care Extenders' volunteer orientation at Santa Monica Hospital. Laura &i took the bus there. Both of us being first timers didn't know jack. The bus driver got the impression that we weren't gonna pay - She didn't really like us, i sensed. We got there &saw about 175 ppl showed up - one session among ten others similar. They're taking 70 ppl. Fat chance... We had to sit in the cafeteria to fill out a 6-pg application for an hour. It was like a test ! We weren't allowed to talk or use our phones... 3 essays questions - 'What are the pros and cons of running healthcare as a business? What are your alternatives?', 'Write an Elevator Pitch advertising yourself', 'DRAW sth that represents you &explains.' DRAW !!! I drew Spongebob &explained that i am a sponge who absorbs others' knowledge and emotions. lol...
I liked them bc they offer different programs for us to shadow in - maternity ward, oncology (cancer-related ?)... I wanna see babies being born ! Is that a bad idea ? (= Tonight i went to HOPE orientation, recommended by Steph, my mentor. They're a very small group, so small that i don't think i'm gonna get in. They currently have 10 volunteers for the medical branch and will take 7 new ppl. According to them, volunteers actually get to do e.t. instead of just standing on the side. We'll get to learn to take blood pressure, measure height &weight, all the technical stuff. Which, i have to admit, sounds super cool. But like i said... what are the chances ? UGHHH, COLLEGE = SO MANY REJECTIONS ! I'm sad :( I got rejected for that job at the Public Health building, btw, the one I ran my ass off to get to... But i could kinda tell she didn't really want me this time, sth in her eyes..
I woke up early today after going to bed at 4 A.M. bc my TA's office hours are 8-10. %#*& I had a question on a hw for chem, which Peter the TA couldn't answer, so i had to drag my ass out in the freezing rain, w/ my squeaky flip-flops and all, to see him. He still couldn't answer my question. He's a nice guy, by all means... But he's not doing a very good job as the TA of my hardest class &that makes me annoyed. Anyway, i went to Lavelle's office hour, which was worse: A room full of ppl asking STUPID questions like how to balance the equation &dilute solutions. He spelled out step-by-step for them, wasting e.o.'s time. I didn't get to ask my question, but i'm not coming back to office hours again. Just this ONCE, i want to say... stupid blondes...
I'm just stressed bc just a couple of days ago, i was still an idle person anxious about not having a.t. to do. &now, suddenly, i have a shit load of hw and reading to catch up. I WILL NOT LET COLLEGE KICK MY ASS !
