Day 96: Locked Out

Today I went to class, back to the room, and then left to table for VSA. As I was halfway down the stairs, I realized that there was no key in my back pocket. I shrugged it off because I have two roommates and it shouldn’t have been THAT hard to get back into the room without using a temporary key. Unfortunately, Kayla would be gone for a good part of the day, and it didn’t seem like Jane was going to get back soon. So, I braced myself for another hard day.

Only, it wasn’t that bad. I went to my Psych professor’s office hours and managed to scrounge three extra points on my test (not that it really raised it that much…but it might count in the end, who knows?) Then I went with Richard to his apartment (JPR’s) to study since I happened to pack everything I needed in my backpack before I left. Oddly enough, when Jason came home to the apartment, Jennifer and André were with him. After they fed me chicken noodle soup, Jennifer and André walked me to English.

I returned to Cheney in hopes that Kayla was in the room. I was lucky enough to get in without a key, but not lucky enough to avoid an awkward encounter with the guy I liked, who was going to dinner. Kayla wasn’t in the room, but Shannon happened to be going to dinner, so I decided to join her. We ran into a few more floor mates on the way there, and we stayed for a good hour. When we returned, there was a mob in front of the elevator, and it’s not hard to guess who was also there, again. (It was so strange. This NEVER happened.) So we squished around 15 people in the elevator and got off on the 6^th floor.

Kayla was back so I was able to get my key, and then I went to the Student Learning Center to study with a bunch of VSA members. It was kind of loud in the SLC so I went back to JPR’s with Piotr and studied some more. (Also…I decided to go to a club on Friday. We’ll see how that turns out.)

Day 95: Not the Best Day

Well, this week doesn't seem to be going the way I want it to.

Remember that Psych midterm I thought I did so well on? Turns out I got the EXACT SAME SCORE I did when I DIDN’T study my butt off. It’s so much worse when you feel confident about something, then reality runs you over with a pile-driver. Knowing that I put so much effort into that test for nothing really hurts. I’m planning on going to office hours tomorrow to negotiate some points and ask for study tips. Obviously I’m not doing something right. I think that now, the highest I can hope for in Psych is a B (if I get an A on the final.)

I’m not really feeling okay with myself right now. I need to do better, but I keep screwing up all my chances of saving myself. It’s kind of disheartening.

The few highlights of the day was receiving melon gummy candies from my Secret Santa and the last Cabinet meeting of the Fall. Lots of love all around. 

I miss home.

Day 94: Avoid Avoid Avoid

Told the boy I liked that I liked him to his face, and that didn’t turn out as well as I would’ve liked (but it’s not like I didn’t expect it.) I didn’t  go into it expecting results. Rather, I went into it so he would be easier to let go. You know I can’t hide how I feel very well for long, and in putting it out there, I can finally move on with more important things.

Of course, rejection is not easy to take, even if it’s done nicely.

So, I spent the entire day avoiding work. Kayla came back (Jane comes back on Tuesday.) On an intended visit to the bathroom, I randomly saw our floormate, Steve, in the hallway and he asked if I wanted to go to Emeryville. Kayla and I ended up going with him to Emeryville and got some Secret Santa shopping done, so it wasn’t TOTALLY unproductive (academically, yes, but that’s beside the point.) Then Kayla and I took a stroll in the dark, and that was some good roommate bonding time.

I did manage to read a bit before falling asleep for about an hour. After that, I was tired, not sleepy. I hate that feeling.

XOXO

Days 88-93: Dumpity Dump

Day 88: Midterm

I took my second psych midterm and I can confidently say I did better than last time. How much better, I don't know. After the midterm, I took a long nap and didn't do much of anything.

Day 89: I Don't Remember, Honestly

I anticipated Wednesday.

Day 90: All Alone

I didn't go to class today because 1) I would miss a vital half hour of my Telebears appointment if I went to class 2) most people wouldn't be in class anyway and 3) I was extremely lazy. I did have lunch with Aaron and successfully pick out my classes, so I think that was a pretty good use of my time. 

Pretty much everyone on the floor left today (minus the people who are staying.) I hung out in Anh and Lina's room until they had to leave, too. The floor is pretty eerie when it's empty.

Day 91-93: You Know What Happened

THANKSGIVING BREAK~ 

XOXO

Day 87: Study Day II

Studied for the Psych midterm all day minus food and bathroom breaks. Around 11 I met up with Jennifer, André, and Piotr for Late Night. Then it was back to studying until around 4AM. Yeaaaahhh X_X

XOXO

Day 86: Dinner with VSA

Tried to study in the morning and got a few things done. Then Linh and I walked to

Nhi’s place for Thanksgiving dinner with VSA. The food was SO GOOD. Everyone had a good time and then Sally drove us back so we wouldn’t drown in the rain.

XOXO

Day 85: Study Day

Today I mostly stayed in my room and studied for the Psych midterm on Monday. And then I stayed up really late watching The Office on Netflix for no reason at all.

XOXO

Day 84: Essays are Poopie

I got a B+ on my English R1B essay :( I’ll need to step it up for the big paper. I did get an A- on my English 31AC essay I wrote during the Big Bang weekend, though. (Apparently both the big R1B paper and 31AC paper are due within a day of each other at the end of the month. Boo)

Scriptwriting meeting was today, and we got a lot of good things done. I’m really liking how things are turning out, but I won’t give away too much ;)

XOXO
