So I slapped myself back into reality today
And here's how ( Read more... ) -
Second all-nighter of the quarter
I was reading my anthropology (Making of the Modern World 1) material for a good couple of hours, trying to stay away all night so that I could reset my biological clock. The plan is basically to stay up until it's time to sleep again, then just keep a normal sleep schedule all week long ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Back in October, I wrote that I was adjusting better to the academic and social environment in San Diego. I find myself almost making a complete about face now ( Read more... ) -
Tuning In...
My feelings about UCSD have changed a bit since last week. I wouldn't say the change was so much a dramatic shift as it was a rapid one. In the last conversation I had with some friends a week ago about being here, I pretty much found this place a social desert. Yes, people here are in a rush to get to their next thing, but where are they not? That ( Read more... ) -
Socializing
I'm about to head out soon so I'll save some for later. I've been back in San Diego since Saturday night/ Sunday morning, and I've noticed that it's a lot more livable this time around. The last time I was here two weeks ago, it was just me and my grad student housemate who had a full-time research job. That basically broke it down so that I was ( Read more... ) -
Tick, tock.
I've been wondering recently when it is that I'd explode and reveal every secret that I've been keeping with me, allegedly "to the grave", like we young people like to exaggerate so much. Like a timebomb, we're all bound to go off eventually, and when that happens, the usual result is panic. Total and uncontrolled panic ( Read more... ) -
More insomniac moments
I'll outright say it. I haven't changed much in the past couple years, except that now I'm a little more patient with certain types of personalities than I used to be. Looking back at my lil' mental notes from hell these last couple... months, maybe years, I notice that the only thing that's really different now is that I don't talk about growing ( Read more... ) -
Bout of insomnia backed by reason
This is the first time I've been unable to sleep in what I'd say is about half a year now. The main thing in common both now and the time before is that I'd had an encounter with a close friend of mine in both scenarios. Here's what's troubling me ( Read more... ) -
Summer jobs and ethics
After looking at all the places I've applied for work so far (tutoring centers, insurance companies, Starbucks, In N Out, front desks of businesses, etc), it seems like everyone's already done hiring for the summer. That makes sense to me, seeing as how I didn't really start looking until the week before finals, when every company and business ( Read more... )
