Semi-Productivity

Today was super duper productive, all the way until 8 pm. So I suppose most of the day was but it mostly was making sure I went to meetings, classes, the gym, and eat. Ahahaa.

So at 8, Carrie and I embarked on a journey from Warren to Muir on bikes. Me on mine and Carrie on Danielle's bike. Danielle's bike is way to tall for her so we couldn't bike at an incline and had to walk to even ground for her to get on. Even there Carrie couldn't get on the bike, so then she wheeled the bike backwards onto the handicap ramp at the computer science building (I think or whichever building David said he was gonna be at a lot). And from there she crashed into the handrails down the ramp lol. She tried again and made it off the ramp and we were able to actually bike.

Ok I realize this post is mostly ridiculing her, but it's funny and she didn't get hurt. So after I came back to the room at night I tried to work, but Letty is extremely talkative today. I have done no real homeworking up until now. To further distract myself I'm here typing. I guess I could attempt studying again, but I don't really want to. There's also a fruit fly lingering above my desk. It either found its way here from the trashcan in the bathroom full of pads or else the nasty kitchen one confined to the smelly ass closet.

I'm excited for Halloween, but I've realized that I have no means of transportation to a fabric store to purchase massive amounts of yellow felt. I would also have to find yellow leggings. It's hard being Pikachu. I need a caaaar! I need to fufill my Pikachu dream.

Can I have this?

I was researching clever names to give my future bake shop and I looked up Once Upon a Cupcake, but someone already owns that! Booo! However, they make fantastically cute cupcakes. See below!

Aren't they the sweetest cupcakes you've ever seen?! I wish I were one year old Ethan :(

Me llamo

Discussion is mandatory for comm class and the TA takes attendance. Alphabetically my name comes up right after Esteban's. Since the TA tries to be accommodating, he says Esteban's name with a Spanish accent. When he arrives at my name he says Monica with an accent, too. Every time I raise my hand I notice people watching me with a confused look on their face. I'm clearly not Latino.
Anyway, Letty and her friends have just cooked up a midnight snack and it's making me so damn hungry. I must resist though or else I have to rebrush my teeth.

Wrong Turn

I don't see why I get so excited for school to start all the time when I know I'll be super annoyed when it starts lol. Well I guess just with having to use my brain. This year has started out with so much fun! Last night I went to a Starfucker show at The Loft. They're amazingly good and cute. I don't mean looks cute. They were dressed up as girls and one of them had a prom dress on hehe. Except my ears really hurt now from Deelay Ceelay who went on before them. They were these two guys who both played on drum sets, with strobe lights underneath them, and a projection of random videos in the background. My head was spinning like crazy. Waaah! Really though, it was so much fun!
As of today, I'm a member of The Loft Street Team :) It's also a partial internship. I the position entails other members and myself to do the grunt work, but it'll offer a sense of purpose. I also get to go to the shows for free. OMG! You guys can't tell, but I'm bursting with excitement. Well on the inside, since my roomies are studying haha.
I also went to Warren Field and ran 3 laps today. I didn't know it was the size of three soccer fields!! Instead of that being a motivator because I get to run less laps, it actually slowed me down. Since the starting point for the laps was so far away all the time.
Chinese class is also proving to be harder than I thought. And I like how the professor keeps telling us that Taiwanese and Cantonese people are not speaking Mandarin the proper way. I guess she's not doing it very condescendingly, but I'm certain she is implying it.

Year 2

Week 1 isn't even over yet and I'm tired. AND I haven't even really been studying at all. So far my classes all seem okay. Phew!

DARK SIDE:
However in Chinese class, we have a super duper know-it-all who reminds me of a certain giant Asian from our high school days. I'm sure he's not trying to be annoying, but I'm still extremely peeved by him. I also unknowingly switched into the tutorial that he's in too. So I must enjoy his insightful responses in class 4x a week :(

BRIGHT SIDE:
I have a new cute planner. It's lime green and such a cute little size. I have also stopped bumping my head on the underside of my bed. I was so pissed at myself during Week 0 when I literally hit my head 5x a day. I thought if I kept it up, I would've probably had to drop out of college for lack of brain cells by the end of the year. Lol.

It's Time

Omg, today was the day I finally reached peak summer boredom. For 4 hours now, I have been in agony! Was at Linda's house from 8-10 and we couldn't decide on anything to do except browse the internet. That usually suffices. After that I returned home to rot in bed and watch TV. I cannot wait to go back to school aside from missing everyone from home. I need purpose!

Prior to this sudden hit of boredom, Mish, Linda, and I made yummy choco covered strawberries! sliced bananas! and apple cubes! Sooo delicious. And then there was my lone attempt at making red bean filled mochi. Hahaha that turned into a messy glob of mochi wrapped in red bean! Linda said it was good anyway. Yesss.

Then I went on to Wendy's with Shaun and Co. Lol. Wendy's has to be my favorite fast food place. It's just so much better.

Ok, so maybe the whole day wasn't so bad. But my brain was threatening to shutdown earlier! Was just too bored!
