| so I've had this blog since I was about 14 and I honestly feel that its time to move on. This has been a great way to get my thoughts out but I don't think I'll be posting here anymore. That is all.

| Heyo I am still alive, I've just been busy. I've been in Ithaca
for about a month now and am almost done with my first full week of
classes. The first two weeks were partial. I enjoy most of
my seven classes, some keep me running around like mad but I enjoy it
for the most part. Best class is definately my Grants and
Proposal writing class, it is also by far my heaviest workload.
Other than that I'm just super busy. I'm choreographing a hip hop
dance this year, which is not my usual genre but I'm enjoying pushing
my boundaries as a dancer and a choreographer. I've also agreed
to help my friend Jeff teach some local kids hip hop every week.
I'm rather excited about it, because not only do I get to try out new
moves, teach (which is something I love to do), but he's also agreed to
help split the amount of money. Which while it isn't a huge sum,
is still decent, and I'm grateful just for the outlet. I've also
been declared temporary leader of the Model UN team. Which is
fun, but stressful at the same time. We've just started the
interview process and I just feel warn out by the whole thing. I
hate judging people, especially when I'm comparing them to other
people, it just feels wrong to me. Like who am I to judge, what
makes me so damn awesome that I should be judging people and
determining who is 'worthy' of making the team. Aside from that
I'm just adjusting to having a compeletely full schedule and the
workload that comes with it. But it feels good to be busy and I'm
really enjoying my housemates. They're awesome, and our late
night chats over large mugs of tea make it all worth while. So
yeah, I'm still alive, I'll try and check in every now and then.
Hope all is well.

| This weekend was busy to say the least. On Friday Thomas came home, and we all went out to Korean food. Which was delicious as always. Went home to practice and rehearse for the wedding, and while tuning Thomas' violin he managed to crack the peg down the middle (something we later learned at Ifshin's that was believed impossible). Managed to practice on a back up realize we're not in too bad of shape so that's a small comfort. Really worried about the arrangement of the prayer though, because it sounds kinda funny right now and Thomas' vote is that it sucks, the primary reason for that is because he has to learn something new which loosely translates into more practice time. So we all got up the next day to get the violin fixed, went rather smoothly, I got the chance to test out a violin, since I'm slowly getting on the market for something of a better caliber than what I currently play. So we'll see how that goes. That evening we went to my mom's boss' house for dinner. When we got there their cat was sitting in the front lawn looking at something. We weren't sure what it was at first, thought it might be a kitten or a large rodent of some sort. Got a closer look and it was this naked rodent like thing which had its eyes stuck closed. We took it in luckily that cat hadn't harmed it in anyway. So we called various places and for awhile assumed that it was a baby possum that had fallen out of its pouch. We ended up taking it to the Lindsey Museum, where we found out that it was a baby foxtail squirrel. I feel better now that its in capable hands. Sunday I got the chance to hang out with Royce and his cousin James, who I hadn't seen in like. . twelve years. It was kinda crazy but lots of fun. I ended up getting called in for work on Saturday night so I guess I didn't work myself out of a job since they found stuff for me to do. So yeah been hitting the gym every night so far this week, which isn't saying much, but I managed to do an hour of cardio tonight and that makes me really proud of myself. Hopefully I will be in shape for this vacation we're leaving for next week. | | |
| So today has been a wave of mixed blessings and compliments. I'm really not sure what to think anymore. i was told at work that I didn't need to come in on Monday, because I was so damn efficient I essentially worked myself out of a job. Which could be a compliment but kinda sucks all the same cause I like going to work. Weird as that sounds, the people are really cool, the work isn't too hard, I just need to slow down I guess. I'm going to work on going fast but not too fast. On the plus side the organization steps I took iniative on are working wonderfully which has also aided in speeding up the time it takes to complete tasks. So yeah on another note I just got the grade for my Gender in American Culture class and I got an. . A!!!! Which means I got two A's in summer school at UC Berkeley. I feel so proud of myself right now its really rather ridiculous. I guess my hard work really did pay off, and now how to reward myself. . I really want an mp3 player so maybe I should just cave in and get an iPod, although I still feel like if I wait a little bit longer the next generation of players will be out anyways. Hm . . decisions decisions. So yeah short little update there for all of my 'devoted readers' although some of them have forgotten how to write in their own blogs it would seem. | | |
| The best part about summer is definitely the fresh fruit. Went to Costco this weekend and totally loaded up on it with cherries, strawberries, mangoes, blueberries, and my personal favorite Peaches!! And not just white ones but yellow ones too!! They're delicious and make me happy. So yes yay summer for the harvest and all the delicious things nature has created that don't require extra sugar or fake additives that really aren't that good for you to begin with.
Kinda like how my new job is working out, its a lot of work, mainly busy brainless things, like filing invoices, xeroxing ( I can actually call it that since our copy machine is by Xerox :P), and other odds and ends. But my coworkers are super nice and helpful, and my boss is so nice and understanding about things. Its really casual even though its a small company. For those who are wondering I work for a real-estate software company. I'm learning a lot just by watching how they keep the books and interact with customers over the telephone lines and through e-mail. Been working really hard, I've actually been told that I might want to take a break, because I just keep doing stuff. It's really not my fault that I can't stand being idle sometimes, especially when everyone else around me is so busy all the time. But I was just given permission by the owner of the company to do some rearranging of the invoices to make it more accessible and stuff and she was pleased with my innovations. I'm so glad I have this job, its way farther from home than my last summer job, but I'm making more money, and everyone knows that office work is way easier than retail.
Still waiting for my grade in my genders in American culture class, hoping I pulled off an A, which would mean I'd gotten my first 4.0, in like a million years, granted its only for one class but still. I'd be super proud of myself if I did manage it. I think I'd get myself the Nintendo DS or a nano iPod with the money I earn working if I that happens, as a means of celebrating. So we'll see what happens. I'll find out by Monday at the latest.
Saw an old friend I hadn't seen in a couple of years, ended up spending several hours in starbucks just talking and catching up on things. It was so nice, we're planning on doing it again sometime.
