second attempt... for lack of a better title

As I was rolling back from Starbucks today, I was thinking about my last sad and pathetic (and yes, I know, unfinished) post. It's funny, when I'm sitting by myself and just letting my mind wander, I think in a pretty eloquent way, if I do say so myself. But the second I sit down at my computer, all of that eloquence goes right out the window. I can't put into words the annoying feeling I get as I sit staring at an empty computer screen.

Have you ever noticed that writers on TV, blog or otherwise, are never lacking in material and have ideas flowing out of them the second they sit down to write? Even if they are scripted to have writer's block, something happens and, miraculously, their writer's block disappears. And it always sounds so damn good. Not fair! This is always the case for one Ms. Carrie Bradshaw from the HBO show "Sex and the City" (one of my guilty pleasures, I admit it!), who is never lacking in new and insightful thoughts on men and their interactions with women. She is, I'll admit again, who I was channeling in my last failed attempt at a post. I was going to write about how, when it came to romance, I really didn't have much to write about. But as I sat there thinking of what to write, I realized that there wasn't anyone who read my blog that wanted to read some sob story about my non-love life anyways.

I must admit (wow, I am over using that word) that I try to shrug it off that I'm single and have never had any real prospect, but it is getting harder for me to do. I don't want to sound like some co-dependent woman who has to have a man in her life. I don't... as evident by my living an incredibly successful and full life for the past almost-20 years. I'm just saying that it'd be nice to find someone special. Maybe sophomore year will be the year...

men... or not!

I was going to write this all about how I don't have a man in my life and how much that sucks and that I don't know why, but I realized that probably none of you give a crap! LOL

Oh well!

Instead, I'll say that I can't believe that start my second year of college in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where does the time go?

So clearly, I am in DESPERATE need of topic ideas... Please, inspire me!

Official sophmore!

That's right... I am officially done with my first year of college! I have nothing else to say... I am completely speechless! :-D

Two weeks left...

O-M-G! How can there only be two weeks of school left?! Where did the year go? It feels like yesterday that I was still homesick all the time and couldn't find any of my classes... Now I'm coming to the end of 1/5 of my time here at Cal. I can't believe it... I need another month! Probably won't be hearing from me for a while, as all my time will be spent coloring myself in, studying the psychology of culture, and presenting on men, sex, and the city...

Talk to you all later!

It's gettin' hot in here!

And out there! And everywhere for that matter! LOL I mean, I'm (i must interject that This Is Why I'm Hot by Mims just started playing... coincidence?) all for warm weather, but this is ridiculous... even for me! This is the kind of heat where you don't want to do anything but sit in front of a fan and eat ice cream all day. But alas, I am sitting in my room at my computer, with every window and door open, an open notebook on my lap that I should be writing my Cultural Psychology questions in... oh well! Which makes me wonder, why is it called 'senioritis'? I'm only a first year and I'm already feeling antsy! I think a more adiquate name would be 'summeritis' -- same basic concept, applies to procrastinating and unmotivated people everywhere! :-D I must add (for my mom, who will start reading my blog soon) that I'm still doing my work and will still be graduating in 4-5 years... ;-)

I will now go attempt to be productive for 30 minutes until going to the gym, where I might actually die from this heat!

A little change...

Is always good! I was sitting in my room the other day thinking how boring (and quite frankly drab!) my blog looked. I felt a bright, colorful change was in order... It is almost summer, after all! So, here I am sitting in my room listening to Summer Rain by Milk Inc making my blog look more summer-y! Hope you all approve!

Aside from my seasonal blog and the BEAUTIFUL weather we are having here in Berkeley, Ca, a sure-fire sign that summer is upon us is all the new movies coming out! Most importantly, of course... 17 AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zac Effron=yummy!

College!

Holy crap! I can't believe I'm almost done with my first year of college! I gotta say though, it has been AWESOME! That's not to say that it has all been easy though, because it definitely hasn't. Now, this may come as a shock to some people, but I don't transition well. So, as you may have guessed moving out, coming into college, meeting all new people, and on top of it all, figuring out how to manage my life, was... intense to say the least. But everything I was told by my older friends, my family, and especially my mom (even though I didn't believe any of them at the time!) was true. That this transition gets easier with time. You find your niche and Berkeley's 25,000 (or some other obscenely large number) undergrad campus doesn't seem so big and overwhelming anymore. On top of meeting people through class, study groups, clubs and friends, some of my best friends I've met by sheer proximity. Living in the dorms was by far the best decision I've made (besides coming to Berkeley, of course!) I've met so many cool people, some of whom are now my best friends. When I first told people about applying and going to college, a surprising number of them assumed I'd be living at home. I truly believe that living in the dorms has made my first year in college exponentially better!
