What College is all about.... according to someone who's been here a good four months:)

College is all about having fun. Some would argue and say learning is what it should be all about. But I say to them that college is the place you learn about things you are interested in.... hence having fun. College is where you decide to drive to the beach at midnight just to be able to see the stars. College is where you play sports with your friends that you've never been that good at just for a good laugh. College is where you turn off the lights and dance with a stolen strobe light with a couple friends. College is where you draw pretty pictures, eat new foods, try new things, meet new kinds of people, surprise yourself, scare yourself, and really meet yourself. College is where you have fun.

My future home

This is the Domicilio Apartment Building. It is a palace. It is my future home. Next year I plan on moving in with my five guys friends and one gal pal so we can share a three bedroom apartment. Its cheaper than living in the dorm and the rooms are PHENOMENAL! Feel free to check out the website and be jealous:)

I'm back!!

So after a long break from school, california, and blogging... I'm back! With a new job, new classes, and new weather! My new job is amazing. I've already worked once and I'm getting about 9 hours a week at least to start out. I get to do my homework and just hang out! My new classes are amazing! My ethics class is going to be so much fun. I've already started rethinking my own morals:) My spanish class is full of my friends with my favorite teacher from last quarter so it will also be amazing. I also have my first of many sociology classes on tuesdays and thursdays. The syllabus looks really interesting, so I'm pretty excited. I am switching into a new drawing class but the new one sounds like a lot of fun. Basically its all the same here, the new library looks a lot more finished, its rains a lot more, and i brought a couple more pictures from home, but besides that santa clara is just the same as i left it.

Employed:)

I just found out I was hired for a job that I interviewed for on Tuesday. I am a front desk receptionist in my dorm building. Basically I am going to get paid 8 bucks an hour to do my homework or watch movies on the tv behind the counter. My new boss told me the job is really easy and the all the duties I have to do each shift take about a half hour so I have 2 and a half hours to just hang out. It's Monday Wednesday Friday 9am-12pm and I can pick up other shifts as well. I'm pretty excited about the whole thing; it's pretty much the perfect college job!

bio shmio

four straight days of looking at nothing but biotech. a week before that of studying a couple hours a day. a study session with others in the class that i ROCKED. how did the test go you ask?
o. about that...
sometimes things are easy. sometimes things are hard and you have to work for it. other times you try your best, you work your hardest, you do everything you can, and you still end up short.
nobody said college was going to be easy.

DEAD WEEK

wow "dead week"... what a name. as a naive little freshman i assumed dead week was so named because it feels like you are going to die because of finals. Turns the week of finals with no class is referred to as "dead week" because you are dead. you do nothing. no noise is allowed. If a CF can hear you you get fined $50!!! People sit. People study. People sleep. People eat. We are all like zombies barely surviving the 50 page study guides, 10 page essays, 2, 3, even 4 finals! Its probably the most depressing atmosphere in the whole wide world. Well I must go... biotechnology calls.
