Omg... it's 2am. nothing good happens after 2 am. HAHA jk that's a how i met your mother reference. anyway ... I was supposed to go to sleep at 12 today. I have to get up and teach children tomorrow at 8am! I went to take a shower at 11:30 which means i was probably done around 11:45. And then I decided to knock on Paulo's door and tell him about a SUPER AWKWARD MOMENT that happened in the bathroom HAHA and then ALL OF A SUDDEN it's like freaking 2 am.
Eric came in a little after I did and the three of us just talked for ... a longggg longg time. Then we moved places and loud whispered in the hallway and at the very end I talked to Paulo for like 2 minutes in my room. 2 hours of pure talking. LOVE IT. I learn a lot from them. Paulo is like ... one of the most stereotypical guys I know. If you look at most of my male friends, a lot of them aren't like that stereotypical guy you would imagine. Not that that's a bad thing - I'm sure I'm friends with them usually because they aren't what I view as a stereotypical guy. Ok, so this is the conversation I had with Eric and Paulo, which I view to be stereotypical guy:
Ok, actually I typed out a portion of the conversation and realized that most of my friends who read this blog would not appreciate it. Plus I figure we're all going down to SoCal one day, and when we do, I don't want my friends to be like "oh ... you're that guy who said ... that ..." so HAHA I'll just remember it in my head.
The end of this semester is REALLY weird. I've said this so many times. I'm in one of those weird mood phases. I really just want school to end because I don't want to do any work anymore. Every day I have to consider what classes I absolutely have to go to. But I don't ever want the year to end because then we'll never have these study lounges again, where we go in and knowingly sit on a freaking dirty couch. Or we plug in our laptops and pretend to work but really, we end up just talking to each other. And then people get up and write chinese all over the chalkboard. And I'll miss just walking to the bathroom, opening the door, and then ending up in a long conversation over the sinks. Or just walking past Jon/Paulo/Joe's room and going in whenever I want. Or those very few times we went to the gym together. Or being able to whisper in a hallway. Or even waiting for the elevator together to go eat dinner. Or being like "dude I'm hungry and it's 1am ... WHO WANTS LATE NIGHT?"
And I also haven't gymmed in three days and I am really fat and I just realized that I have banquet on SATURDAY where I have to wear a dress which means MAJOR DIETING TOMOROW. Ok, I already know that won't work. But I also have to do my presentation for IEOR on Tuesday, which means dress pants and a dress shirt and I look SUPER FAT in the dress pants because they give me a muffintop, even though they make my legs look fantastic. I need a new pair of dress pants, I think. But even though I know I don't gym, I eat TONS now. Tons of really bad things. Mainly peanut butter and candy. So baddddddd
This is like senior year, when you're rushing to do everything you want before you leave for college. Only, senior year was dragged out over an entire year with set friends, whereas this was four months of meeting friends and feeling like you've known them forever. While talking to Eric and Paulo, we were kind of going over how we met each other. And then I realized that back in February, when I had gone to look at a house with a bunch of people, Eric had tagged along and at the time, I was like "who is this guy?" And that was literally like 2.5 months ago. And now he's like one of my closest Berkeley friends, who I make fun of nonstop. Pretty insane.
Ok. Super late. I don't know how I will sleep when my rem cycle is off and my brain is jumping from all this socializing/blogging. Tomorrow will probably be a painful day. :)
Things that made me happy in the convo:
- paulo and eric saying i'm trustworthy
- paulo and eric saying i'm like the center of the group (only because I usually plan HAHA doesn't this sound familiar?)
- "i'm going to say 'give me ten minutes and i think i can please you'" "umm ... you can rephrase that later"
- "CAROLINE! what's the most lesbian thing you've ever done?" "... yeah ... i'm going to go now ... night guys"
- "paulo i think you've gone further with a guy than i have"
- realizing that Paulo knows SO MUCH about how to get girls. seirously, he could write The Game
- "i haven't had a gf in two years!" "YEAH well try nineteen!"
- "DUDE the most awkward thing just happened" *blah blah blah* "OMG THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I JUST SAID TO PAULO! I HAD THAT EXACT AWKWARD MOMENT"
- "WAIT WTF THAT'S CREEPY! YOU'RE SO CREEPY! oh wait. sorry. is that mean? ok. never mind."

My Off-Balance Life
I don't know why but my life feels very weird right now. Like, something is not quite right and it kind of bothers me. Usually this happens when I don't have very much work to do. When I have less work to do, I start to stress out because then I think "omg there has to be something that I could be doing right now. But I don't know what it is..." That's probably what is happening now. I wanted to make a chart of my stresses but ... actually I figured out how. Awesome.
I'm not quite sure how Google organizes the categories. I like it because it's colorful but I doubt anyone is going to take a good look at that. Don't bother - I didn't think too carefully about the numbers. Making it actually took a lot out of me, but at least I know how to do something new with google documents :D
I don't even know what to say now. Hmm. There are a lot of things on my mind but I don't know what is most interesting to blog about.
Since I don't have as much work to do anymore (yay!) I'm starting to stress out about other things in life that are much more difficult to take care of. For instance, I don't know why but yesterday I started thinking about how I'm not in very close contact with TMV people anymore. I think I realized this when I was thinking about what I would do for the summer. I was thinking to myself, "I hope TMV people come up to visit me ... but I bet they won't ... but that's ok since my floormates will be here in the summer" and then I was like OH NO! I hope this doesn't mean I'm starting to heart my floormates over TMV now. I hope this isn't the first step towards losing contact with high school friends. =L
I've always been fine with being really far from almost all TMV people and not really knowing what's going on in their lives. Partly because I'm very happy with my college life and partly because I don't think very much happens when I'm gone anyway. HAHA. But after yesterday I was like hmm ... I always figure that I can't dwell on keeping in contact with TMV because life goes on and it's very difficult to make the effort when I can walk two doors over and have fun. But then I was like, but I don't want to make that excuse when I graduate and start working because I would like to say that I will always know what's going on in our group. I don't know.
Then I'm kind of disappointed that I'm going to get a B in econ this semester. I have only 15 units, 2 classes are P/NP meaning that the B is going to make a huge impact on my GPA. I should have entered this semester thinking "this semester is important because I am applying for internships next year," not "I figure I got into Haas so this semester, I will relax." You might think this is just evidence of my never being satisfied, but actually, I only really have to worry about my GPA for one year, if my plan goes well. I have to work really hard this summer and the fall semester, apply for internships, and hopefully get one. Then, if I get an internship and do well at it, it's my experience that matters, not my GPA. I'm just waiting for that moment where experience trumps GPA and getting 4.0s is no longer my concern.
After Boat Dance I didn't gym and ate pretty unhealthily. =L I hope I can change this starting tomorrow. My body is really weak now, I think I have to start actually getting out of breath on the elliptical. It's very hard to push yourself on the elliptical but it's much easier on the treadmill. I never swim now and I never took any of those exercise classes like aerobic kickboxing.
There are signs posted about moving out. Eek! I'm super excited for next year. I'm just really stressed because my mom doesn't know I'm ROOMING with a boy. She only knows I'm living with them ... Let's hope she never visits me. It's like a disowning just waiting to happen. Anyway, how exciting. I paid $500 for a security deposit last week and it felt super weird. It was $500 out of my bank account and I didn't tell my mom beforehand ... it felt very adult. Turned in contracts and everything. I'm also excited to see where my friends are living.
Plans:
- BBQ at Caroline's since she has a backyard
- Football games
- Random people coming over to my place because I'm closest to campus
- My pretending that I'm not at home when people I don't like call
- Dinner parties
Ok. Wow, it's 12:15. I was ready to sleep at 11:30 Whoopsie dooo

boat dance
ok i'm suppperr tired right now. insanely tired. but i like to blog about things right after they happen, because then you kind of feel the excitement as you write it and it's less of a xanga feel that's like "yesterday i did this and this and this." so i am going to suffer for about twenty minutes and then turn off my computer and go to bed at 3 am.
today was the BOATT DANCEEE. i put up such a fuss about not wanting to go. but then my floormates made me. and i found myself actually excited to go. it's like a prom redux - we have charter buses that take us from our dorms to the embarcadero. from the pier we get on a cruise ship - 3 levels of djs, nonalcoholic drinks, and desserts. busride - fun. embarcadero - fantastically gorgeous and we go there at exactly sunset which was perfectly timed. cruise ship - perfectly sized with everything you need.
to be honest, i was like "whoa ... i think i'm having more fun now than i had at prom." prom was good - but definitely it was because of the friends i went with. tmv makes anything fun. tmv makes car washing fun (and that's been proven). but this was like ... nonstop dancing from 8-12 which i would have never imagined myself doing except that i was in a group where EVERYONCE danced and no one would want to sit down. plus the group itself was fun. so, WIN WIN. i thought the djs were pretty good - i wish i could find ALL the songs that were played and dl them. have to get: that really annoying danity kane song, some song that's about ghostriding, but it's not the e-40 one. so many others that i'll never remember.
we also had the cha cha shuffle? or something which was pretty cool and i had never seen it before. but EVERYONE knew what was going on so i was like "WHOA what have i been missing out on?" i also love how certain songs have designated dancing moves. like for flo-rida, the ENTIRE DANCE FLOOR does the get low part, and i wish someone could film it. and kelly clarkson - since you've been gone seems to be the staple last dance song everyone jumps to.
eek my feet hurt so much. i didn't even wear heels for that long. honestly, by the time we got onto the bus i wanted to take my shoes off. thankfully michelle had told me to bring rainbows, which i actually didn't use at all on the ship (because i just went barefoot) but it came really in handy when we went directly to late night after.
so dancing - fun. i wish had really good moves. oh well. pictures taken on the ship are amazing because one side was the sf financial district and the other was the bay bridge. god, i love bay area. anyway, four hours passed by insanely quickly. my calves hurt now but before it was the ball of my foot. not much to say about the cruise ship part - we danced, we had fun, we got separated at some point but we somehow ALL found each other and became an even bigger group than we started out with. we got back on buses around 12:30 and i pretty much fell asleep the second we hit bay bridge. when i woke up we were four blocks from home and i was like WHOAAAA.
sad yet funny to me: three people brought cameras. two of them lost power before the bus even got to sf. mine lasted the whole night and still has power. so YEAH. but boo i never got an ENTIRE group picture. i think each time we managed to get big group pictures, it was only half of the people. :( it's so hard to get big group pics. we never really got one for prom. we never got one for graduation OR grad night. BOO. oh wellllll
anyway - we get back to the dorm; i had suggested going to late night but most people were like "nooo i'm tired." but when i get off the bus paulo's like YEAH LET'S GO so we end up going with like five other people. LONGEsT LINE EVERRR but SUCH GOOD FOOD (i was really hungry). delicious omelet plate, as i always get. we come back, i immediately shower, and here i am.
so yay! i can't believe it's a thursday night. i was like "GUYS WE SHOULD EAT BRUNCH TOMORROW ... wait ... is it friday tomorrow?" and before we left christine was like "nooo after today we have nothing to look forward to, it'll just be finals" and i was like "yeah sure whatever" but now i'm like OMGGG THATS SO TRUE. i'm seriously sad now. time to get ready for finals. SADNESS. i don't want to stop living with my floormates. i don't want my friends to graduate! one of them is going to ucla med school and i'm like omggg :( your real life is beginning. :( must savor these last few days.
but yeah. i heart my friends. both the ones here and the ones back home. :)

Being terribly lazy
I'm using wireless right now. Berkeley has wireless internet all over campus where you just login with your id and password and you have internet! I use it all the time when I take my laptop to the study lounge and ... "study." But right now I'm sitting in my room, the ethernet cable is literally a foot from me, but I really don't feel like reaching over and picking it up. So ... wireless it is!
Anyhoo, I actually feel very tired right now but I shouldn't take a nap. I have an interview soon for another ASUC position. I'm debating between contacts or glasses. I don't look good with my glasses but if I wear contacts, I risk having a sudden attack of dry eyes and going into the interview constantly looking like >___o o____< >____o
I had a weird dream yesterday. I don't even really remember it and it's really not that interesting to read about but I'll write about it anyway. I was sitting and eating at some cafe-like restaurant that seemed to be in an alley. I was eating with two friends from Berkeley - when I woke up I really could not figure out who the two people were. We were talking about some song and I was like "my friend Eric really likes that song" and they were like "HAHA I bet it's because of THIS LYRIC" and they point out some part of a song that Eric really would like - it's like that female, very natural sounding and sweet voice with some strumming of the guitar. And then we all laughed about it. The end. I woke up feeling like AW I miss TMV because it's cute that we know random little things about each other. Makes me almost not want to stay in Berkeley for the summer.
Today should be a busy day and then it'll all wind down. I can count on two hands how many homework assignments I have left to do
- 4 physics and music homework assignments that usually take about 15 minutes to do, each
- 1 Fun in Science poster that's basically me pasting pictures to a posterboard
- 1 Film paper due Friday that I will attempt to finish by tomorrow night
- 2 film papers that take me about 20 minutes to do, each
- 1 IEOR reflections paper that takes me about 15 minutes to do
- 1 IEOR project that involves powerpoint presentations, meaning practice time and slide making. But still relatively stressfree because all the groundwork has been done
- 2 Econ homeworks that are the scourge of this semester
Fine. If you count individually, that's 12. But I'm counting the number of dashes. Of which there are seven.
My hands smell all fishy because I ate smoked salmon with a bagel today. DELICIOUS. But I wonder who woke up one day and said "I'm going to put some fish on my delicious breakfast food." Also, my bagel yesterday had spots of mold but this one did not. At least, none that I could see under my dim table light.
I found a place to live over the summer! I will be subleting for some girl's fraternity room. Sigma nu. I don't know anything about them - I looked it up on wikipedia and I think it's some service fraternity. It's only $400 a month which is damn cheap (hopefully it is not damn shitty). I will be rooming with some girl from the University of Bordeaux, so I take it to mean I'll be rooming with a French exchange student? Sounds cool. I figure if it turns out to be a rather quiet fraternity house, fine. And if it turns out to be a loud, party house, fine because it's only the summer and it'll be like experiencing a fraternity house without having to pledge for one. I'll be working nearly full time for the first half of summer and then work/school the second half. I also want to get up to gym, and then go to the media resources center and watch a movie every day. Plus, I kind of want to visit my norcal floormates every weekend, so I probably won't spend too much time in there anyway. So, this summer will hopefully not be as "sit around the house all day and wait for friends to wake up so we can go out" as it was last summer.
Now I must go otherwise I'll actually be late to my interview.
OMFG THREE DAYS TILL BOAT DANCE. SHOOT. I ate like 1/3 of my granola box yesterday and felt terrible.

A happy post
Dude I am freaking tired. Super really effing tired. But my day was AWEEESOMEEE. I use that word a lot, I've realized. I did a shitload today. And besides the meeting I had in the morning, I didn't even touch homework and I barely thought about it. The downside is that I REALLY want to do homework this weekend, because if I can finish it all, I basically don't have to do very much for the next three (THREE!!!) weeks of school. Which means I probably won't go out tomorrow when I was SUPPOSED to go eat at la note's and schubert's and shop in sf.
Anyway. Today:
1) Gymmed. Yay! Except my body is so weak now. I can't even believe I used to be able to run on the track in the summer. Really need to get in shape!
2) IEOR meeting where we fleshed out basically our entire final project and once we actually start making the slides, we're just two presentations away from FINISHING THIS DAMN PROJECT! WHEEEE Plus Amy made muffins which were DELICIOUS. Everytime I go to her apartment, I'm like DAMN I so want to live here. I'm pretty sure it's that feeling a lot of people get when they walk into a house and they're like "this is it. This is the house!" And it's PROBABLE that I WILL live there so EEEEEEEKKKK I am excited!
3) Chinatown! San Francisco one, not the Oakland one. It was nice to see it but I wouldn't go again. MMMMMM the bakeries SO GOOD. It was a total cockfest though - six guys and me, a girl. We witnessed a verbal fight on the Bart. Two black guys going at it - I was really amazed by how many insults they could throw at each other. The conductor refused to start the bart and actually came out to scold them. I had to try really hard not to laugh. At the same time, I was thinking to myself "oh please don't pull out a gun." HAHA. We also went into the mall and Virgin megastore but we didn't buy much. OH. We also went to Pier 39 and even though the meal I got was only $7, which is fairly cheap in such a touristy area, I wish I had just eaten back home.
BUTTT I hope this trip taught me a lesson. I had kind of planned the event for just people from our floor to go. But somehow, these guys from the second floor got invited and I was kind of like "what the hell ... why are these random people going?" It turned out that the two guys are pretty cool (one I had met, didn't really like at first, but now I like him a little more; the other I think is SOOO smart and independent) and they were the only people who knew how to get around or where to go. So I was like dangg I'm so glad they went, otherwise I don't know what we would have done. SO hopefully I will learn to be more inclusive of people. I'm very exclusive. It is the TMV culture.
4) Paulo brought back a HUGE carton of his mom's spaghetti for me. I wasn't even hungry but when he showed it to me I was like OMGGG I HAVE TO EAT IT and I ate the entire thing. SO GOOD. Ground beef can NEVER go wrong. Omg. I was like "PAULO YOU ARE THE NICEST" and he was like "seriously? That's what you base niceness on?" AND YEAH. When a guy goes home and remembers to come back with a carton of pasta for you THAT'S SUPER NICE. Totally made my day. EXCEPT MY DAY WAS NOT OVER YET.
5) Met Caroline's mom which was hilarious because I always thought Caroline was kind of like Connie L in the "I <3 my mom!" way. But she was totally like "ok that's enough mom let's go" so HILARIOUS. HAHA. And of course I'm the total parent asskisser so I love meeting parents
6) WATCHED FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL. I was SOOO excited. SO HAPPY to watch this opening weekend. I was like "guys we have to watch forgetting sarah marshall" and caroline was like "we can! I have my mom's car" and I literally leapt out of my chair and starting jumping up and down. So we drove to Emeryville to an ACTUAL THEATER and not the ghetto ones on Shattuck. Driving was not without its difficulties. I love how we were just going down the street and then Caroline goes "uh.... this is a freeway. I am now driving on a freeway..." and then Paulo started giving directions and I was like "do you know where we're going?" "no, I'm just following my instincts." HAHA
Anyway, pretty good movie. Considering my expectations were so high, I'm glad I came out thinking it wasn't a waste of money. BUT part of it is because there were SO MANY PEOPLE I LOVE IN THAT MOVIE. The guy from 30 rock, Billy Baldwin, Jason Bateman, Jason Segel, and obviously KRISTEN BELL. EEKKKKK! So much penis in that movie though.
7) Driving back, dropping the guys off, intending to find parking with Caroline, and then ending up just driving for an hour up and down bay area highways. AWESOME. We blasted music and it was the perfect match because she loves to drive and I love to stare out the windows. So fun.
I also realized this in the car but I HEART CAROLINE. She is totally like, the person who made me realize a lot of things I think are not that bizarre. She's definitely not my twin, but we have common views such as:
a) We get super super sad if we aren't able to gym
b) We have both considered throwing up after eating a huge meal, but knew we couldn't really do it
c) FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS! WHO watches friday night lights?! WE DO.
Ok. I can't think of any more. FINE.
8) Conversation with Jon in the bathroom. HAHA It's a secret conversation though, so I can't say what was said. But it made me very happy. OK
AND NOW IT's 2:40. OMGGG SO MUCH HOMEWORK TO DO. BUT WHATEVERS.
OH ALSO
9) I e-mailed someone about a sublet for the summer and it is only $400 A MONTH. That's incredibly cheap. So I guess I will just stay the entire summer. I don't know what to do with all my stuff though; there's definitely not enough space in the place but I don't know if I can put it in the apartment that I don't even completely own yet, or if I should just take it home. Luckily, my parents are coming up and I also don't have much stuff anyway. Seriously, TV is soon obsolete. All I need is the internet.
10) EGG CUSTARD. I just had one. OMGGG SOOO GOOD. I took nearly the last ones from the Chinatown Bakery. Also hilarious, apparently this was a conversation once:
Jason: Have you ever had egg custard?
Caroline: Yeah! Once in China, I had one in KFC
Jason: KFC?!
OK. I also came up with a new thing to add to my summer to do list. Go on roadtrips with my norcal floormates! We're going to explore randomass cities like Danville and San Ramon and Rockridge and Walnut Creek so I can figure out where I want to live after I graduate. Also, just so we can get to know the area. AWESOMENESS RIGHT? EEK! This summer is going to be AWEEEESSOSMMMMEMEEEE
ALSO, Caroline is pretty close to getting her apartment, which is pretty far but it has a BACKYARD so we were like OK BBQ NEXT YEAR. Also, I was like OMG we all have to come to my apartment because it is freaking close and everyone was like "yeah ... we already figured we'd do that" which AHHAHA CUTE because YAY that means they actually like me enough to spend time with me. HAHA I've already made little like costco lasagna dinner party ideas in my head. I make so many plans nowadays. Like, we're going to go to the football games together next year which FINALLY I have good friends to go with! And then I'm still pushing for us to all take a class together, but that's super hard to coordinate. OMG I JUST REALIZED IF JON LIVES WITH ME HE HAS A WII OMGGGZZZZZ. He's also my scrabble buddy. AWESOME AWESOME. College is not long enough for fun stuff, seriously. It's too long for academics though.
FOUR DAYS UNTIL BOAT DANCE TIME TO STARVE!
Anyway. Today:
1) Gymmed. Yay! Except my body is so weak now. I can't even believe I used to be able to run on the track in the summer. Really need to get in shape!
2) IEOR meeting where we fleshed out basically our entire final project and once we actually start making the slides, we're just two presentations away from FINISHING THIS DAMN PROJECT! WHEEEE Plus Amy made muffins which were DELICIOUS. Everytime I go to her apartment, I'm like DAMN I so want to live here. I'm pretty sure it's that feeling a lot of people get when they walk into a house and they're like "this is it. This is the house!" And it's PROBABLE that I WILL live there so EEEEEEEKKKK I am excited!
3) Chinatown! San Francisco one, not the Oakland one. It was nice to see it but I wouldn't go again. MMMMMM the bakeries SO GOOD. It was a total cockfest though - six guys and me, a girl. We witnessed a verbal fight on the Bart. Two black guys going at it - I was really amazed by how many insults they could throw at each other. The conductor refused to start the bart and actually came out to scold them. I had to try really hard not to laugh. At the same time, I was thinking to myself "oh please don't pull out a gun." HAHA. We also went into the mall and Virgin megastore but we didn't buy much. OH. We also went to Pier 39 and even though the meal I got was only $7, which is fairly cheap in such a touristy area, I wish I had just eaten back home.
