No Way!!

I went to PB (pacific beach) tonight with friends. I danced. Miracles happen.

Sungod '08

For those of you who don't know, Sungod is UCSD's one day of outrageous drinking, partying, and concerts/events all day on campus. Extra security and police on campus never stopped anyone (especially minors) from having a good time.

Sungod was ridiculous this year. I made the most of it being my first and last actual sungod (since i didn't go last year). Some of us, including me, starting drinking thursday night since we didnt have class friday. Others.. like me, got all of 3-4 hours of sleep thursday night as well. But friday was lots of fun! There were "jello shots" that tasted like straight up vodka at noon, then Irish carbombs, and a mission to find the bus to take us to the party in la jolla. Once there, it was more drinking. I don't know how I managed to stay awake, but I did. Then a group of us went to campus and stopped at Porter's Pub (for another beer!!) on the way to rimac field. Once we got to the field, there was loud music and dancing (which I'm still allergic to). Then there was more fun and music that I skipped out on because I was exhausted beyond belief. I was also hungry. I got home, opted not to drive to in-n-out at 11, and instead cleaned up from thursday night and crashed.

And I think today has been the most unproductive day in my life... unless you count catching up on desperately needed sleep productive. (Why was me being tired and drinking the theme of sungod week? Because I had 3 midterms last week. Sunday-Wednesday I got no more than 4-5 hours of sleep each night then spent each day studying, going to class, or taking midterms. And then Thursday kicked off the celebrations!)

Procrastination Post

I don't know what it is, but every time I hear the word monster I stop what I'm doing and say "I'm a monster!!" and raise my fist in the air as if I had a hook for a hand... Thank you Arrested Development. I mention this because I was at office hours last week and the prof said the word monster referring to people who act mentally retarded, but don't qualify according to the DSM-IV. And sure enough I mumbled the phrase to myself. I don't think the prof and other students heard me.

It's now week 7. I have 3 midterms this week, 1 midterm and a final during week 10, and then finals week. Soo.. I can see the light at the end of the undergrad tunnel. Woohoo!

This quarter I've also been training for a bike ride (just for fun with my parents) this summer up near Mammoth. I thought I was just going to do the metric century (100km or 62.14 miles) but now I think I may do the normal century (100 miles). I started out just going to RIMAC (our kickass gym) and riding the trainer bikes. But now my aunt and uncle in SD have me actually riding on the weekends, which is extremely different and much more difficult than anything I do at the gym. I rode 25 miles two weekends ago, 30 last weekend, and the plan this weekend is to go about 40 miles. They're fun for the most part, except the steep hills, especially the one at the end of the ride just before their house when my quads are burning and I'm usually hungry (and I have no granny gears on my road bike). It sucks, but I manage.

Procrastination time is over. Clinical psychology treatments here I come!!!

Week 4

After a 100% nonproductive weekend I've been cramming for 3 midterms this week. I spent all of yesterday reading for clinical psych and child disorders. And I'm going to spend most of tonight gong over slides for those 2 classes and reading stuff for my illusions class. Only 7 more weeks of this stuff! So yeah, school is in full gear and sadly I'm still figuring out which class to drop. I'm most likely dropping kid disorders over clinical psych, but I have until this Friday to edit my schedule.

In other news... there isn't too much going on. It was 95° a couple weekends ago and I went to the beach with Chance and Maite and got sunburned. Go figure. The water is also really cold still. This quarter I've been going to RIMAC (our wonderful gym) and attempting to train for my 100k bike ride that I'm planning on doing this summer. That's been keeping me active since I don't have hockey anymore. I'm also slowly getting closer to learning to kiteboard. It's potentially dangerous to learn on your own, but I think I'm going to find an isolated beach area this weekend and try to fly the full size (beginner) kite, which is 6 meters. I'll probably get dragged along the beach.

Hangover Free

Here's the story of my Friday night:
We went happy hour hopping and to the beach for a s'more. I drank a lot!!

Spring Break Recap

My last spring break as an undergrad was quite good. Most of the week was spent in Mammoth with Katie, Robert, and my mom. Three out of four days were good. And the bad day was because of wind. The skies were clear, but it was windy as hell and only 4 lifts were open, which resulted in reallly long lines at the open chairs. My mom and I also went for a drive up to June Lake one afternoon. I hadn't been there for as long as I can remember. It was cool though. After Mammoth I was home for a day. I spent most of the day with friends, which was fun. Saturday's drive back to SD sucked cause there was traffic everywhere due to baseball games/wrecks. But in the end the traffic was worth it because Saturday night was amazingly fun. That was pretty much my spring break.

Classes started today. I'm signed up for 5 but only need 3 to graduate. So in the next two weeks I'll be down to 3 classes. And my goal (other than to graduate and find a job) is to attempt learn how to kiteboard this quarter/summer.

Finals Week

It's finals week and I bought Zelda for the Wii today. I don't actually own a wii, but one of my roommates does. I guess it's time to put my time management skills to the test this week.
