I always half hoped I was the type of person that would consider Halloween their favorite holiday of the year. Amazingly and boringly enough, it's not.
Not quite sure what I'm going to be tomorrow. I need to get my hands on fake skin putty so I can try some looks I saw on Youtube. Hopefully it wont turn out as an epic fail.
Ironically enough I think I will be hanging out with Mission kids tomorrow night, assuming plans don't fall through....we'll see.
A lot of people say the cops are out to get us this year. Rumors claim they are going to crash parties and check IDs, ugh. I think their efforts are more needed in IV over in Santa Barbara. SLO is weak sauce.
LET THE KIDS PLAY, MAN!
[EDIT]
My housemate, Hannah, who is an architecture major and hardly sleeps just came back from a Halloween party. Uhm. Now I know I fail at life. The girl who doesn't sleep has enough energy to go out to parties on Friday nights and instead I opt for a night home to watch tv shows and study physics. In the previous years I could at least blame my lack of a social life on my HCV, but this year I can't.
What a rut, Helena Wong.

I cruise through LJ almost everyday, but until now haven't been able to get myself to make an update of any sort.
New year at school as a third year in a house with new roommates has been both a roller coaster and straight up HELL. Actually, the school work is "whatevs", but my new roommate situation is a disaster.
The situation is this: I live on an acre lot with two houses. Between the two houses, I live in the front house where I share a room with Courtney. She was one of my suitemates from first year and we roomed together last year as well. Only difference this year is we're sharing a room this time. Hannah, I met in Poly Habitat when we went on our spring break Wyoming trip and Christine I know primarily through her boyfriend. All these girls are great and I get along GREAT with them.
Now here is the rub: The back house consists of jerkoffs that all went to high school together. In the group of four, I know Linsey, who was my roommate from first year and second year. I was familiar with her friend Alejandre from first and second year, but by no means are we close. Then there are two boys in their house who are pretty useless and unimportant to the whole situation. The only thing worth saying about them is, although they are really chill, they are motherfucking lazy. Both have lax ass majors: history and journalism. Half the time they don't have class (one dude only has it Monday & Wednesday) and they NEVER do homework.
This back house is the bane of my existence.
Too describe all the problems I'm having with them would require an LJ cut and honestly, I don't give enough of a fuck to want to waste my time going deeper into fucked up, shit situation I'm in.
What it comes down to is:
1. Apparently they still think takesie-backsies are allowed in college.
2. Have no accountability or credibility.
3. "Yes" to them really means more like "uhm, I'll get back to you a month from now to let you know if I still feel the same way...but I probably wont".
4. Are trifling, petty, cheap asses.
5. Lazy ass motherfuckers.
6. Their verbal agreements are super fickle. If our front house proposes something and we get a full 8 person ok, the back house, SOMEWHERE down the line wants to bitch about it and cry about how it's unfair for them. They only stand by group agreements they propose...which are ALWAYS fucked up and ridiculous.
7. Whiny assholes who complain about money, but go home to Stockton every other weekend.
8. Bitch about only having $50 in their account to last them x amount of days. (BITCH, IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE MOTHERFUCKING POOR. MY FUCKING SINGLE ASS MOM WHO WAS PRACTICALLY UNEMPLOYED FOR ALMOST A YEAR PUTS ME THROUGH SCHOOL. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF YOU FAIL AT LIFE.)
Ugh. I'm so disgusted by them.
Right now whenever I think about them, I think about burning their house down. If they want to complain and be petty about every nickle and dime spent, why not just take it all away from them so they have NOTHING to bitch about. Problem solved. IT'S A WIN WIN FOR ME.
Sigh, the last week has had me stressing over the house and now with this money stuff to deal with, I'm pretty close to going ape shit.
Since I'm in a ranting mood. Let me write a list about the things we have had to deal with upon moving in:
1. Ants
2. Mice (caught 3 and found a dead one behind our stove.)
3. Rain=muddy drive way.
4. Rain=leaky ceiling and windows the night before my o. chem midterm.
5. Rain=our water becoming brown and smelling/tasting/looking like dirt. (Thanks well system. The shit is ghetto.)
6. Hard water that makes my face peel like I've been severely sunburnt.
7. Spiders larger than quarters, with bodies that belong to crickets.
8. Speaking of crickets, when it rains, crickets come into our house....FROM I DON'T KNOW WHERE.
9. I'm so over painting. Painted our room and kitchen. Majority of both projects were completed by me.
10. Ants trying to move into our mailbox when it's raining.
11. My cat eating crickets/spiders.
12. The backyard still isn't ready for company and guess who is going to have to do it - ME.
13. Garage needs to be "closed" with some 2x4 and tarp. And the person who is going to have to do it? Helena Awesome Wong.
14. Get to deal with Charter who provides our cable and internet - ME. Oh, btw, Charter SUCKS and after getting everything initially set up, I'm the only one who calls them about the problems we've had. Such as:
15. Not getting the channels we paid for.
16. Getting our service TERMINATED.
17. Dealing with tech people who come out and are absolutely DOUCHES.
18. Talking to Charter people on the phone who can hardly make a sentence in English or don't know how to help me.
19. Troubleshoot the down wireless internet because our router spontaneously reset the security settings and log-in information.
20. Getting cable for the back house after service was terminated.
21. Following up on the 2 audits we had to get service back after the termination extravaganza.
22. Tripping over the super long cable that goes from the living room, through our room, to my window, so the router can sit on my window sill to broadcast the signal to the back house.
23. Handle all the details as to getting a water softener.
24. Calling the property manager about ALL problems at least once a week, usually more.
And on top of all of that. 25. Deal with the back house who makes me want to kick myself in the face.
That cat, Samwise Gamgee, keeps me sane.
Right now I'm in my bed with the laptop in my lap and she's sleeping on my wrists. The motion from typing doesn't seem to bother her.
Being able to sleep with my cuddly little fuzzball every night and waking up to her on my pillow curled up against my face makes everything ok.
OH, cat just got up and curled into another sleeping position that now has my laptop tilting inconveniently to the right. I think this is a good point to end this entry. Pardon poor grammar and foul language. 3 years as a science major has basically regressed my entry's grammar back to what it was like in junior high.
GOOD NIGHT, LIFE. YOU FUCKING WIN THIS TIME.

Brought Samwise, the kitten, home Sunday night. Showed him to my mom this morning. I GET TO KEEP HIM, YAY! He is one of, i think, six kittens from Wilson's house. His mom is a feral cat, but gee does she make the prettiest babies. I'm really not sure if it is a boy or girl though. WIlson says boy, but I don't see any genitelia yet, so who knows. Planning to take him to the vet to let them figure it out. I hope it's a boy though, otherwise the name wont fit anymore. :( How can we have the four hobbits if there is no Samwise?! Poor thing thinks my oatmeal is his food. Keeps trying to get to me on the floor from the bed. He is distressed.

Took a little tumble at the basketball game last night. Knee isn't feeling too hot, but oh well, I don't think anything is seriously wrong with it. If I went down with it any harder it would of been bad news, but not the case this time! I could hardly remember how to tape up my patella, it's been awhile. Lost the game by a point, but it's no biggy, we just need to get into playoffs. Who the hell cares about winning all your games when you lose the important one in the championship game. I really need to get back on the courts though, I haven't played in awhile and it shows and I'm most definitely feeling it. My entire backside apparently got a work out, haha.
Tonight have the a bbq with the Poly Habitat kids I went to Wyoming with and tomorrow is The Rescue. I'm so excited to take part in it! I just wish I was doing the LA, SD, or SF location. What politician/celebrity/mogul is going to come to SLO?! I think our entire evening rests on Chuck Lidell's shoulder's.

| Spring Break and Senor Chavez |
[31 Mar 2009|11:58pm] |
Got Tuesday off because of Caesar Chavez day. Yay! The only thing I did today was sleep a ton, work on a few job applications, and take my roommate and her friends ice blocking. Went down a stepper hill then last time and picked up a ton of speed.
I'm sad spring break is over because Wyoming was amazing. Jackson Hole is so beautiful with its mountains and abundant wildlife. There are elk and moose everywhere, it's ridiculous. The theme of the town is consistent throughout, all log cabin status.
To a certain extent I wish I was able to go home and hang out with friends, but I got to do so much in the nine day trip! We camped in Zion, drove through Bryce Canyon, went snow shoeing, learned how to side a house and then did it for four days, and hiked through snow to a natural hot spring. Everyone on the trip was super nice and with a group of 11, surprisingly drama was nearly non existent. The only partially annoying thing was raging hormones. Sometimes I felt I was in The Real World's cast shoved into a horny group of young adults.
I should get to reading my chapters now.

Ice blocking is cheap, fun, and lasts for quite awhile.
For dinner had a potluck with the PolyHabitat members going to Wyoming. It was a chance to meet everyone before shoving all 12 of us until a van for the two day drive.
Everyone is amusing, some really witty people. The group is quite a spectrum of Cal Poly kids. Surprisingly there are three minority people, including myself, so it's nice. Look forward to spending the next week with them and BONDING.
First service trip, here I come!

Slept an hour and a half. I don't understand how my lab notebook took me THAT long to finish. A lot of other people pulled an all nighter too. Ugh, I was a hop and a skip away from that.
I was suppose to go to a presentation today put on by PT/OT Club. All our club events are meetings are on the first floor of the kines tower...except today. I ended up sitting in on some steroid/illegal supplement spiel from some man. I think it was a big deal because a lot of kines profs were there.
When I walked in, I was surprised our presenter had power point up and THAT many club members showed up. A professor walked up to me and I asked her if this was the "speaker", while the kine's department head was pulling a chair for my friend and me. As soon as I sat down and looked realized this was NOT the presentation I meant to be in, it was too late to leave. How could leave when the dept chair grabs chairs for me and sits me in front of a bunch of professors?? There was no way I was going to rudely walk out and leave some sort of negative smear on my reputation for being the "stupid girl who walks in late and then leaves" that would not be good for my letter of recs.
At least the topic was fairly interesting. The man sped through his slides at a blistering pace, but was still surprisingly organized and coherent. Learned how a lot of supplement companies get away with mislabeling their products and "name drop" phenomenon to make it seem various professional teams endorse a product. It's surprising how many harmful supplemental vitamins/protein mixes, etc are out on the market. The clinical trial information that is kept in the fine print is astounding and repulsive to imagine. It's amazing how people who publish in scholarly journals can so easily sell their soul to turn around and contradict all their scientific dignity so they can endorse some harmful product for chunk of change.
Meh, I can't form coherent thoughts. My brain is quite sluggish. I quit.

I JUST realized original Captain Kirk was William Shatner. I hate me.
I was reading through Wikipedia and saw a Captain Kirk collage with AGED William Shatner. I thought to myself, "When the monkeys did he play Kirk?? I don't remember being OLD." I NEVER connected the dots that...he was young and the stupendous original JAMES TIBERIUS KIRK.
FOR SHAME.
What a unobservant dolt I am.
Back to the anatomy memorizing.

Off days make me feel so desperate. It's like a glaring weakness I can't make go away, how annoying.
We looked at the cadaver in anatomy lab today. For some reason I felt a lot more uncomfortable looking at the legs then the face and abdomen last week. For some reason my prof covered most of the cadaver and only showed a hand and a leg. It was as if he was trying to maintain the cadaver's dignity by keeping him covered, making it more like a person. I'm a bigger fan of dehumanizing cadavers, makes looking at them MUCH easier.
Cadavers smell like plastic.

Technology is all kinds of WTF.
I was looking through ONTD and found a picture that was put up online during hs and it wasn't a very nice one either. I don't know if the poster went to Mission or anything, but I don't think they did and they used the picture with different celeb faces over it.
At first I thought it was hilarious because I remember when that picture went up and it was a big no no, but now...I find it more creepy then anything. It's been three four years since ANYONE has probably thought of that picture, but there it was, on a celebrity gossip website. Wtf, trippy, much?
So I've started watching True Blood that I randomly got from my uncle and I have to admit, it's cheesy as hell, but I enjoy it. I hate me. Sometimes I watch it and think it's stupid, but they always end the episodes at some cliff hanger and I CAN'T stop myself from watching the next one. Guilty pleasure for sure.
I've decided, HBO is a win. Wish I had more time to take advantage of getting it at our apartment.

I KNOW WAY TO MUCH ABOUT THE BRAIN AND EYEBALL THEN I WOULD EVER WANT TO KNOW.
My chem prof was telling us how what we were learning was easy. After he did the practice problem he started at it and said, "Well, if you put a lot of easys together, I guess it is kind of hard..." Science classes is straight love.
Did poorly on my bio lab practical. I have my anatomy one at 7. I really don't want to go to my 6 o'clock workshop, but I have midterm tomorrow and workshop SHOULD help.
After 11am tomorrow, I only have chem lab test. Week 5 is killing me. I miss the phenomenon of sleep.
Velvet just sneezed.
She almost ate Ham yesterday. She pushed one of the books off and fell into the cage. She got distracted when I yelled at her and I threw her out of my room. Now I have 2 textbooks, a monopoly board, Ham's heavy food, and my laundry detergent piled atop the cage.
Good times.
