homework time

Nothing too exciting has been happening lately. I've just been trying to read, do homework, and write papers. Playoffs have been distracting, but i enjoy it. Netflix too.

Pick up line

I heard the best pick up line on the bus the other night: "your breasts are tubular." It was the funniest thing i had heard in a long time. It was late in the night and clearly beer influenced.

I'm going to be taking summer school after all this summer. July 12 - Aug 13. not too bad. The class is "Families and Society". I want to try to graduate next spring, so i want to do everything i can to try and do so. Budget cuts should make things even more difficult next year, so there will be less classes.

Thinking about graduate programs and taking the GRE and other things have also been on my mind. Guess i just gotta take it one thing at a time. Stay in today.

Went to UC Davis today with my internship. I was really impressed. It was really big and beautiful. I thought about what i would be doing if i had gone there. It's fun to think about. It's interesting to just think about every decision you make or thing you do, and think what would life be if you chose the other one, or something else happened. It's important keep these thoughts light-hearted. The point to me is not to dwell about "what could have been", but just how fascinating the relationship between the decisions we make and who we become are. To what extent does your environment affect who you are, and to what extent will your personality affect your environment.

fine dining

Angela's parents, Val and Terri came up and we've been hanging out with them for a couple days. On Thursday, they came over in the morning to check out our place and then we went out for breakfast. We went somewhere on irving street that was good, but nothing special. After that we took them to see the campus. It was a beautiful day and everyone was laying out and all kinds of festivities seemed to be going on (what a day to see the school). After that we cruised on up to see the golden gate bridge. That was spectacular as usual, it never gets old. Then we went downtown to eat at some fancy seafood place. The food was exquisite. They had some fresh, delicious calamari. After dinner they were pooped so they took us back home and returned to their hotel. Pat called me and said he was coming to see his friend's band playing at a gay bar in city. I met up with him at the bar and had a nice time listening to music.

Today, Friday, we had class from 10-2. Val and Terri picked us up for dinner and we ate at our favorite gourmet pizza place, Little Star Pizza. We parted ways after dinner because they are leaving tomorrow morning and wanted to get a good night's sleep before the long drive home. Tonight, we are going to our friend Courtney's 21st birthday party, so that should be fun.

Tomorrow and Sunday i want to dedicate mostly to homework and studying so wish me luck.

p.s. I got netflix recently, and am loving it so far!

The parentals

I'm back from spring break and slowly starting to get back in the groove. It definitely took a good couple days to get back in student mode. Spring break was really good and it was nice to see familiar faces. Played a lot of basketball which was super fun and good for me to get some exercise. Visited family, got to see my dad's work, lunch with friends, late night donut runs, and more. Oh, and i saw jonathan gerrard play music at a coffee shop in irvine. He played really well. I really enjoyed the tunes. His performance had a very intimate and honest feel. The band he opened for was very talented and entertaining too. Before the show i helped bring all the equipment into the venue. It helped me halfway fulfill my fantasy as roadie for a band on tour. it was cool.

Angie's parents have come up for the next few days. Which probably means lots food and things to see and do. I will update more later about what we do. I know they want to check out our school and our place. Everything else is up in the air. Should be a fun next few days.
