Naïveté

Today seemed like a long day: Attended my classes, went to the bank, stopped by at Safeway to buy a giftcard and now I am here; after two hours of reading ancient emails.

Shit. I was such a naive person back then. I was re-reading my emails to my girlfriends back in Cyprus when I first "fell in love" with this guy. Man oh man, I was such a stupid kid. I fell in the hole so fast that it was hard for me to get out of it. Coz of that, I built walls around me that are quite difficult for people to climb up at.

I need some shelter of my own protection baby

I've become the mean, tempermental bitch. The snob. The hard-to-get. And sometimes I hate myself for becoming those things. Why can't I be "normal"?

Whatever normal means.

I've pushed quite a few people away.

And there's this guy who's suprisingly still around. And I hope he continues to stick around a bit more until I figure out what to do with myself.

It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightening out to do


I miss the times when I didn't have to think so much about things, when I didn't give a fuck.
I miss the risk-taker in me.

Already?!

I can't believe there's only 4 more weeks until the quarter ends. Shizzzz.

Gotta propose my fieldwork ideas for Mass. Comm. on Tuesday, I have no idea what I'm gonna do!

This is such a blah quarter, I have no idea how I'm doing except for Speech Comm. which is treating me well =]

First Aid is being blah too. Frickin' 65% for the test. Argh. Hopefully the 100% writing assignment will compensate for it.

I'm already itching to go to L.A.! Dates are set: May 5-8 =] Haven't booked the flight and hotel yet but will do soon!

OPT will start May 19, not quite sure how that's gonna work.

Before I know it, September will be here, university time! I'm excited but to be honest, I CAN wait. Hahaha. After Shoreline, I don't want to think about books, homework, studies, etc. quite yet!

Time, please pause for a while!!

A day full of ups and downs

Haven't blogged for more than a week. Why, you ask?:

Midterms, quizzes, homework, essays, applications and oh yeah, social life.

I got done with my midterms yesterday. I don't feel comfortable but I know I did my best and it's all that matters.

So today seemed like a very long, exhausting day. Felt like I was riding a rollercoaster of emotions. Nervous, excited, disappointed, happy, sad etc. It sucks, I tell you. Hahaha.

Here's a brief recap of my day so far:

-I aced my First Aid assignment... literally aced it, I got a frickin 100%. Such a good start of my day.

-Did a lot better than I thought on my Speech Communications midterm. I dreaded getting the result today but when I did, yeahyuh! Hahaha. Full points on the essay part. Say what?! Heehee.

-Ko is not feeling well :( Get well soon, buddyyyy.

-Found out that I didn't get the International Programs Assistant job. Nevermind. Life goes on. But I was disappointed when I found out. I guess it's because it would've been my second job ever. And in my first job, I didn't experience rejection, and now that time has come. It bugged me for a second, but now I'm okay :) I've worked at the office for nearly 2 years and giving me a position there again would've resulted to "they picked her again?!" So no... (I don't want by business leaking, people like to run they mouth) As Polly said, I should give a chance to other people. Hahaha, so true.

-I missed my bus.

-My mom is coming on March 12th! YAYYY.

-My phone bill is HUGE :(

Y'see? ROLLERCOASTER, I tell ya.
