Jun. 30th, 2006 @ 01:37 pm Summer what?

Haven't updated here in a while. Sort of because I've been writing in a different blog. Sort of because I'm lazy.

I had surgery on both of my big toes about 3 weeks ago. They're steadily getting better from the surgery, and now I can wear close-toed shoes without walking funny and ending up in pain.

Looking for an apartment. We found a really nice 3-bedroom one, but haven't turned in any sort of applications yet. I hope we can still get it, but if not, we'll have to start looking again right away. The lease on the apartment here is up on July 31st, which means we have to be moved out by then.

On the 13th-15th I'll be up in north checking out Humboldt University. Might end up going there a year from now. We'll see.

Work is boring, but at least I'm getting paid. Trying to find a different job at a Peet's or Starbucks or Borders or something. I'd really like to be able to not work here anymore.

Summer is going.. It's kind of boring, but kind of not. I've been playing a lot of Oblivion on Paul's computer (mine couldn't run it if I paid it $1,000). I've also been playing some Big Brain Academy on my loverly DS Lite I recieved on the 20th of June (read other blog if you don't get it).

Tomorrow is Saturday, which is good, because I want to go swimming or something. It's hot outside, and I want to get some exercise. Swimming is both cooling and a good form of exercise.

Went to City College yesterday to check out the campus and see if I could get some questions answered, but none of the counselors or records people knew, and the numbers I was given to call weren't being answered. Pfah. All I need to know is if a Red Cross CPR card will be accepted in the place of an American Heart Association CPR card. Pfah.

And now: Back to work! (Moneys moneys moneys)

Dear Caitlin,

We have considered your application for admission to the Berkeley campus of the University of California. After careful review, we are sorry that we are unable to offer you admission for the fall semester 2006.

Our transfer decisions were very difficult this year, as competition for fall admission was exceptionally rigorous. We received more than 10,550 applications for only 3,000 admission spaces, and most of these candidates were extremely well qualified. We regret that many talented and promising transfer students will not be included in our entering class because of this high level of selectivity. We have prepared the answers to some frequently asked questions which provide additional information about our selection process and, we hope, address many of your concerns.

We would like to thank you for your interest in the University of California, Berkeley and wish you every success in achieving your educational goals.

Sincerely,
WR sign

Walter A. Robinson
Director

So I lost my debit card this morning while on my way to my City Year interview. The interview itself was pretty good, but I still don't think that I'm going to do it. Just have to tell my mom...

I went about 2 hours out of my way to go to a Trader Joe's near Almaden, when there's one near the Whole Foods that I usually go to in Campbell. The light rail only takes about a half hour to get to Whole Foods, and it took me an hour and a half of light rail and three different buses to get to the other Trader Joe's. Bleh. At least I have food now.

Been tired all day so I decided to take a nap after I got back. I really didn't want to get up from the nap, but I had to to come to work.

At least I have a free pita sandwich waiting for me at the Pita Pit after work...

So, I'm sort of pondering moving to England and going to school there. Don't ask me why, I just am.

I'm leaning towards moving to some European country anyway, after I've graduated, so I guess I've just taken it a step further and started to think about going while still in school.

However next year goes will probably affect my thoughts/decisions.

I got up early and went to my morning class, finished a make-up midterm in 30 minutes (the allowed time was an hour and a half), got extra points on an assignment that I thought I had done badly on, got to spend a good deal of time with Paul, read some really good scifi stories for my English class, which I then had fun discussing, and found out that not only do I not have class tomorrow, but the essay that was due in that class isn't due until next Tuesday. Whew! Talk about a run on sentence. : )

And, it's a beautiful day outside. BEAUTIFUL. Sun is shining, there's a light breeze, and the air is warm. Summer is coming!

I feel much better today.

Also, I'm going to start moving my things into Paul's room soon so that I can move out of my apartment ASAP when school is over. I may start sleeping up there on nights when I have to get up early in the morning, since I can't ever go to sleep early in my own apartment.

Paul's birthday is on Saturday - I ordered his present from Amazon.com already, but I'm not sure when it will arrive. Hopefully before Saturday so I have a chance to wrap it, but if not, oh well. It's not like he's told me what he wants for his birthday.. Sheesh. I asked him like a month ago if he'd think about it, and he still doesn't know what he wants. Boys! ; )

My stepbrother Ken's birthday is the next Friday after that, and I'll be going home to celebrate. Then that Saturday is English tea at my mom's (yay tea!), and the hopefully Sunday is the symphony. Fun stuffs ahead!

School is so almost over, and I'm so ready for it to be. I'm excited about the trips I get to take this summer, and I'm excited/anxious to find out about next year (whether I get into City Year or whether I'll be going to school some more).

My tummy is making funny noises... I'm sure all of the people in the lab are like WTF? ><

Study time!

I'm at work, and I'd really rather be sleeping. Or napping. Or doing anything that involves me, a bed, and not being at work.

This research paper is sucking the energy out of me. I'm so tired. I keep getting headaches from staring at either the computer screen or the papers I'm reading. Also, I just tried to spell screen scerrn.

School sucks. I need a long, uneventful, relaxing summer break. I won't even mind working. But I can't do school and work at the same time right now. One or the other is pretty much all I'm good at.

Paper due Thursday - hopefully will be done by this evening so I can sleep tomorrow. Two more papers due in May, along with a short story. And hey, May isn't even that far off now! Bleh. April just goes by way too fast every year.

If anyone sees TJ today, tell him I said Happy Birthday.

Also, creepy Asian comic guy is back in the lab again. I don't mind friendly people, but stop hitting on me. Jeebus. I don't really read comics that much - I read Paul's Hellboy comics and they were good, but that doesn't mean I'm going to like all other freaking comics and FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP BRINGING ME STUFF IT'S WEIRD.

..So sue me.

I'm really getting fed up with my flatmates. I'm glad that school is almost over (while also starting to freak out about research essays that are due soon...). Lesson learned: Don't room with people you don't know, especially if they all know each other from before.

It's not like anything really big has happened, but I'm tired of all of the small things that keep happening. Like last night, I turned off the AC because it's still FUCKING RAINING outside, and quite cold. Not 10 minutes later the air came zooming back on, so I opened my door to check the thermostat. Lo and behold, but what was hanging above the 'stat? A STICKY NOTE! Now, sticky notes aren't necessarily bad things, but after having people leave them all over the goddamn apartment instead of talking to people, it gets really, REALLY fucking annoying. Also, the note said "if you're cold put on a sweatshirt". I am TIRED of having people tell me to PUT ON A FUCKING SWEATSHIRT when it's cold. I'm ALWAYS wearing a sweatshirt! I can't even sit in my own room without wearing a jacket or something and being wrapped in a blanket!

The cold doesn't really bother me, it's having the freezing cold air blow on me every two goddamn minutes that pisses me off. So, I put up a note that said "if you're warm, try opening a window", as well as one that said something along the lines of "talking > leaving sticky notes". Of course, both Alison and Kristen thought this was funny, and decided to talk about it RIGHT OUTSIDE MY DOOR. Okay, I'm not deaf people, jesus christ. I also heard Alison say something like "I'm going to make another note and leave it in the bathroom!"

I really didn't care what she wanted to do - I just wanted to go to sleep. So I came out and asked them to be quiet, and finally got to go to bed. Then, at 2am, the fire alarm went off! Oh, huzzah. We had to spend an hour downstairs while they tried to figure out what was making the alarm go off, and when we got back upstairs it took me a long while to get to sleep. When we got back up, the first thing Kristen did was rush into the bathroom. She wasn't even in there long enough to do anything, and didn't even bother to pretend to flush the toilet, and I'm assuming grabbed Alison's note while she was in there.

Honestly, I really don't care anymore. In a month I will be moving out of this stupid apartment, and will never have to see these people again. In the meantime, I won't be buying any "communal goods" such as toilet paper or paper towels or whatever - I don't like these girls and I'm not going to spend money on things for them.

Gah, I hate being angry. It just makes me MORE angry.

And I have a research essay due next Thursday, and I missed my appointment with the nutritionist yesterday which is going to cost me $20, and and.. I'm just not having a good week.

Can I take a break from life, please?

Say what?

From what I can gather, not only are government officials admitting to propaganda use in this country and abroad, but the President is as well. Also, last time I checked, Congress has not declared that we are at war. So what's up with Mr. Bush saying that we are?

Something has gone horribly wrong in this country.
