Happy Halloween

"This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween..."

It doesn't look like it's up to be Halloween today. No one's dressed up and it's not cold enough. Back home my mom was telling me it was supposed to rain tonight in Fremont. Rain! Oh how I miss you! I cannot wait when Irvine/Newport Beach get rained in. That's going to be awesome. I wish I was more into random holidays like today's. Dressing up can be fun. I used to dress up for Halloween all the time back in the day. Never had any strange costumes 'cause I was a prude. My sisters are going as Pinocchio and Snow White. Disney themed, how cute :). They better email pictures.

I'm waiting on the last 10 minutes of work so I'm sitting here blogging. Working and studying at work tomorrow. I have 2 more chapters to read for Psych 120P...and probably 4 or so for ICS 21. Hopefully not that many more chapters :(.

Monday, Monday, Monday!

I hope my week is turning up. Midterms are at the middle stretch and I can feel the anxiety and stress building up. I'm a lot less moody about school than I was last week though. Mondays are my short days out of the week next to the weekends. I love it because I don't have work and I usually finish class by 12, if not 3 in the afternoon. Other days drag on till 5 or 6. Crossing my fingers that next quarter I'll have a more spread our schedule so I can enjoy my evenings. I think this made my day.

If only it were cold like this longer! Makes me miss home. Southern California is like a pit of sunny delight. Makes me sad it can't take a little more rain and cooler temperatures. At least this fog is a start.

And of course, he always makes my day, too :). Just realized, Happy 1 Year & 8 Months! :D

Notes

It's amazing how bad my memory can be, if not how often I put myself on auto pilot. I know that I'm paying attention in class or work, but then somehow, I manage to do things without really paying attention, yet I'm still consistent and reliable. It's a natural occurrence, yet I'm nearly always fascinated.

Studying like mad for psychology tomorrow. Going to bed, g'night.

Ho Hum

I feel amazingly behind in non-academic activities. Okay maybe blogging and keeping in touch with friends, but that still counts! I haven't called home much and that's unlike me to do so. Called my parents today and talked for a long time, it felt good to talk to them again. I have been doing my best to be non-hermit-ish, but somehow I have a talent to be the opposite of that regardless. I'm not agoraphobic, I go out and interact with people. I like how I almost typed angoraphobic. I'd be afraid of wool instead. Sorry, little psychology humor in there.

Classes have been going well except for ICS 21. I honestly dread being tested for that class, ever since the first quiz, I feel a little jaded. Can't lose hope, just have to be patient and "think". Those are the main instructions for lab, be patient and think, a lot. Statistics on the other hand, was not as horrifying as I sought it to be. It's actually a lot better when I try to learn the material myself since it's an online course. The server is stubborn as hell though because it either freezes or won't let me navigate to other pages which is annoying. The professor and the TA tells us that the refresh and exit button are our friends. You have to log in, log out, and start all over if it won't work. Luckily it saves your work, otherwise I'm screwed. This class also gives me back my Fridays by moving them to Mondays. No lecture after the non-mandatory lab!

To be fair, I have to rave over my psychology classes, too. I'm head over heels for them! I'm already in waist deep and as sad as this sounds, I think this quarter has reassured me this was the right major to switch into. I can't get over how fun it is to sit in lecture. I think once you get past the core psychology classes, you're basically outlining what type of psychology you want to get into. Right now clinical sounds like a set structure to think about, but I guess I have to wait and see until I take the classes for it first. It's been fun applying what I've learned outside the realm of lectures. Freud cracks me up. Seriously.

Nothing else to update. Only social events I've been to the past few weeks were my uncle's wedding and a baby shower last weekend. I'm going to another wedding this week! My RA is getting married so that's going to be super exciting. This talk of marriage and babies makes me wonder how the heck I'm going to turn out after I graduate. Don't have time to contemplate about it so pfft.
