What day is it?

My days are so jam packed now I can't keep track of which day is what day. I didn't get to blog yesterday so I'll catch you up on what happened. I like yesterday, I think it's worth mentioning, although, now I can't remember as much since it feels like it was a week ago:

Yesterday, I woke up for physics. For some reason the later the class, the later I show up for class. O chem is at 9 and I always show up on time or early, but physics is at 9:30 and I seem to show up a couple minutes late every time. By the way, showing up late for physics is terrible! Everyone who shows up early apparently does not enjoy sitting in the middle of the rows, so for those who show up late are forced to squeeze through everyone since they've already taken over the outer seats. These rows of seats are so close together, it doesn't matter what size you are, you will end up sitting on some one's lap at some point and you will clobber someone in the head with either your boob, shoulder, or backpack. Plus, it always makes a scene even though there are about 300 kids in this class...everyone notices. Anyways, after physics, I went home to get ready for jogging. Now, tell me I don't have bad luck. The day before was ridiculously hot all day and yesterday seemed like it would be hot if it weren't for the big, relieving cloud that was covering the sun. I even bragged to someone about how nice it felt outside while they were complaining about how hot they were back home. Well, I went home and got ready. By the time I got out of the house to bike to the track, the sun was out and was not joking around. It was so hot, I looked like I had already gone for a run by the time I got to the field. However, due to my secretive competitive nature, I ran full force. Whenever I have these classes, I always secretly compete with the strangers around me. I was doing well too. I passed the girls that started before me and caught up to the guy that was first in place. I never passed him but I felt pretty good that I was so close to him. Nearing the end of my run, maybe 2 laps left, I suddenly started to feel faint, so much that I had to forfeit my good stature. The sun was beating directly on us. I swear, I sweat out a weeks worth of sodium. I slowed down to a slow jog and those 2 girls passed me right at the end. They high-fived each other when they finished. Yeah, whatever. On my way home, the cloud came back and it felt decent the rest of the day. 
I collapsed on my bed once I got home and laid there for a good 20 or 30 minutes. After the recovery, I ate some lunch, studied, and then got ready for physics lab. On my way to my bike, I ran into this guy that I've had a couple conversations with. Last time, I saw him he was headed to the gym and asked me for directions. So, in attempt to be a bit more social, I asked him if he found the gym and if he liked it. The conversation was brief but we exchanged names, which that makes 3 names known in my complex. Well, it turns out I couldn't crash physics lab that day so the TA was going to let come in next week. Sweet! I am okay with that.
Around seven (I don't remember what I did with my self in between physics lab and seven), I was about to head over to check out the Excursion club meeting but before I could leave I ran into Alex again (guy I met earlier). He held up a flier and asked me if I heard of whatever was on this flier. I looked at it and it was for the meeting I was about to go to, so he sattled up and we headed to this meeting together. He was really cool and easy to talk to. I might be a bit more talkative due to the fact that I don't get to talk much these days. There was about, I'm going to say 200 kids at this meeting. The excursion club is legit! They are going on 20 various trips this week alone! They got me so excited about it, I contemplated dropping a couple of classes and not going home this weekend (no offense to everyone at home). Alex turned to me and said, "I think I'm going to quit school just so I can make it to all of these trips." I figure everyone was thinking the same thought we were at that moment. When the time came, I wasted none of it. I signed the waiver, reached into my pockets and handed my life away. Oh, and I bought a tank top on the spot and wore it the rest of the night. After the meeting, Alex said his friend was playing a massive game of ultimate frisbee and invited me to come play. I told him how terrible I was at throwing a frisbee but he didn't care. It turns out it wasn't a game but it was team practice. I was the only girl out of over 100 people on that field. I met Alex's friends and started playing. They threw it to me, which I missed because I didn't know it was coming towards me, and then I had to throw it back. Of course, on my first try, I hit someone in the back of the head. Everyone found it really funny, except for the kid I threw it at. I told him I was sorry repeatedly but he didn't even look back at me or stop playing. It was like he didn't even know that he just got nailed with a frisbee in the back of the head. Whatever, I'm just glad he didn't yell at me. We played for about 2 minutes before everyone had to meet in the middle of the field. By this time, my O-chem book was calling my name, so Alex and I went back to our apartments. 
Then, I studied until late and went to bed. Not too shabby. If you are curious about this club here is the link so you can check it out: http://www.excursionclubucsb.org/Excursion_Club_at_UCSB/Home.html

As for today, sheesh, so many activities!!
Today, I had o-chem in the morning and then went back home (this was today and I am having such a hard time remembering what I did) It was sunny again today, so I attempted to lay out on the deck and read for Primate Behavior. Nope! I tried for about 10 minutes (if that) and walked right back inside. It was way too hot. I tried to read but my mind was all over, I just couldn't focus. I made myself a sandwich and put Arrested Development on instead. Eventually, I went to my Plant Diversity class. I like this class. The teacher is just so funny! Oh, I forgot to mention last time that I only have to take this class for 2 weeks. WOOOOO! It's only 2 weeks because I only have to take the "plant diversity" section of this actual biology course so that I can please my advisors and qualify for my upper division classes. All I have to do is pass the midterm. The only problem with that is that it doesn't come with a text book, so I have to do my reading on my own. 
Primate behavior is always amazing. I cannot get enough of this class. I can't get enough of this teacher. I would pay just to have her talk at me for an extended period of time, it would be like stand up comedy.
I got out of class around 4:00, so I had to go home and get ready to go climbing with the excursion club at 5:00!!! It wasn't anything too special. It was in our gym just to teach who ever is interested how to climb and it was an excuse just to hang out. They don't have too many people who are certified belayers, so I am going to get certified tomorrow possibly so I can help them out. The staff in this club are all good, fun people. I can't wait to go surfing with them tomorrow. I know, there's so much to do that it's overwhelming. In fact, because I'm going home this weekend, I am missing out on an Indian Pow Wow! It's a small price to pay because if I were to stay here this weekend and go home next weekend, I would miss the opportunity to go camping in Big Sur. HA! So stoked! I'm never coming home again!
Anyways, I went grocery shopping later, made dinner, and hung out with my roommate and her friends for a while. After all this fun was over, I went back to studying (seeing how I seriously need to buckle down on this studying so I can justify all these recreational activities I'll be doing). That's it. That's the last two days of my life. Now, it is 1:30 in the morning and I need to go to sleep because I still have 2 more days of school this week and I am exhausted. I probably won't read this over before posting it, so I apologize for any mistakes I have made. Good night everyone.

  1. too many words joseph...
    and your apology is accepted for the typos i found:
    "...so the TA was going to let ___ come in next week."
    "...just to teach who(no space)ever is interested how to climb..."
    :-P

    despite having the worst grammar in the whole world and the lengthy length of it all, your blog keeps me entertained in the library when my brain refuses biochemistry.

    for that, i thank you.

  2. uh excuse me my grammer is amazing... I've been praised by many english teachers and writers okay! AND for being so "lengthy," you only found 2 mistakes which makes me happy. For that, I thank YOU.

    Oh and I know it took me forever to respond, but I just realized I had comments.
