If I weren’t sick and working right now, I’d jump for joy and yelp just a little.

1) I am going to China this summer!
2) I have no finals! I am done after May 12th!!

Hip hip hooorah!

My 90s playlist in brief:

Garbage-Push It
Depeche Mode-Enjoy the Silence
Fiona Apple-Criminal
Live-All Over You
Collective Soul-December
Nirvana-Lithium
Pearl Jam-Better Man
Oasis-Champagne Supernova

I spent 2 days attending the cattle auction of college students known as the career fair.

I have a few prospects I will be applying to over the next week. *fingers crossed*

Looking at numerous job descriptions, I think I’ve figured out what I would really like in a job. I would love to work in marketing/web outreach for an environmental organization/firm (i.e. this opening for sfenvironment.org). Now all I’m missing are design skills and just about anything you might need for one of those jobs…with the exception of a passion to learn and be a better designer.

I would also love to teach sex ed…minus that whole public speaking part. I could talk about sex all day long.

Haha.

I am looking forward to seeing all these policies/theories from my ES classes take form into actual projects though. CEQA/NEPA…I’m ready for you!

I wish I had a voice like:
Christina Aguilera
JoJo
Feist
Alicia Keys

Pop Songs I have on repeat:
Natasha Bedingfield-Love Like This
Alicia Keys-No One
JoJo-Too Little Too Late
Paula Deanda-Walk Away
Sara Bareilles-Love Song
Regina Spektor-Fidelity

Time it will take for them to get old: ~2 weeks.

Tom gave me his extra capo, but I left my guitar in Sacramento.

Edinburgh A-Z (2) : A is for Astronaut, Explorer & Dinosaur.

Jackie and I were about to catch up on what’s been going on in our lives on the steps of I-House when this guy comes up and says “Hey, I’m waiting too. Mind if I join you? I have snacks if you want some.”

As I walked back home, I couldn’t help wonder if I felt like ignoring him because he came off as creepy or because I am a bitch. To justify my behavior, I tried to imagine if he had been dashingly handsome (not to say he wasn’t) or harmless looking. I think I would have treated him the same way. I like to think the best of people, but I am also very paranoid. I actually looked back a few times after walking away to make sure he wasn’t following me. Is this because I’m a woman conditioned to see myself as a victim or is it just the extra dose of paranoia my mom so lovingly instilled in me?

Jenn once told me of a woman she encountered at a bus stop who she believes was in a cult. Jackie once mentioned a directionally challenged man who feared his sister was in a car accident and asked for help locating her. My mom always says “I don’t know” when asked for directions because anyone could be a predator out to rob/rape you.

Well, I would not have picked up on the cult. I might have referred the man into a store. And, I always give (unintentionally lousy) directions.

Party games I am eying: Cranium, Catch Phrase, Apples to Apples, Taboo.
Plan: Amazon has Cranium on sale for ~$10 plus free shipping. Yay!

Books I want to read: The Automatic Millionaire, The 4-Hour Workweek, Before and After Page Design, The Richest Man in Babylon, all the Harry Potter books.
Plan: Get a Berkeley library card (for most if not all my reading list). Free! Yay!

Watch more movies.
Plan: Berkeley library card and DVDs from La Loma. Free! Yay!

He’s doing a duet with himself! He also does The Little Mermaid and Whitney Houston…

Haha. 3 minutes of my life well spent on YouTube.

Currently singing to: Jason Mraz-I’m Yours

When I get a capo, I am learning to play this song. Also on my list is Colbie Caillat’s “Bubbly”, though I had it on repeat so much in one day that I might have overplayed it. It’s just too bad when that happens.

Will be missing the last Superb free concert of the semester. Von Iva sounded intriguing.

I HATE SIGNING UP FOR CLASSES.

I have spent way too long trying to pick classes and I still can’t figure something out that will be anything other than THISSEMESTERSUCKS.

Anything I had hoped to take (i.e. environmental health, wildlife ecology, microbiology, genetics, and the list goes on) is either not being offered or conflicts horribly with something else I need to take. The only class I have settled on is the ES seminar, which is basically “set in stone”.

Today, I finally decided to take Biology of Algae for my ES elective and petition Population and Poverty for my Internationl Breadth…BUT (@#*^$) they’re at the SAME TIME. Now, I am back to nothing.

I might just have to sacrifice Population and Poverty…one of the only classes I was looking forward to taking. No more Malcom Potts and his “happy condom” tie for me… *sniff*

P.S. My journal is getting a little “error 404″ happy. It might be that I am storing too much stuff on my account, but I don’t have time to check right now…
