These times are a changing

May 09, 2009 06:05

I never had a real idea of who I would be when I grew up. I used to think I’d be a marine biologist only really, I misunderstood what they did and really wanted to be a zoologist. I wanted to work with dolphins and whales. Then I wanted to work in genetics because I loved that unit of biology in high school. Then I kind of went adrift until my ( Read more... )

I read it all! =P

Oh I know what you mean about the physics program here at UCI. It made me want to tear my hair out. It was all so frustrating, and most of the professors couldn't reach it for shit. GAH!!!!

I went through that, too -- jumping from idea to idea, going from criminologist, to politics to FBI... then to med school and finally vet school. I think a lot of people do it; it's a part of figuring out what will work out best for us.

We sound quite a bit alike -- I think of myself as an extroverted introvert, too! I'm usually fairly quiet unless I'm really comfortable with people, but I do just as well when I'm alone.

(sorry for the late reply, I've been MIA lately due to school craziness)

Kind of random: do you have any interest in Huntington Beach or thereabouts?

I'd say I have a "it's no worse than Irvine" interest in Huntington Beach. I mean, it's close to Irvine and all that. Why do you ask?

(also, we so have to meet up and hang out soon!)

Hah, okay. Dan and I were thinking about getting an apartment out there somewhere for the next year or so (starting in September?). No idea if you have any interest sharing a place with an LJ friend, but we'll probably need a roommate or two. It's an alternative to living with family (and it's closer to your Irvine friends?). Just a thought, we've just started looking into it.

(Yes, we do!)

Well, if I find a job by then, one that pays enough to afford rent, then definitely keep me in mind. You know, once you have a good idea where you want, how much it'll be, just drop me a line. The thing is, I rather not share a room again if I can avoid it. You know, that introverted part of me, it just hates not having a sanctuary (like, I'll go insane and start hating everyone). I'll also be keeping LJ updated with job things so you'll know if/when I find something.

(I'm going to be down probably this weekend and the last weekend of May before fully working on moving down)

Yeah, you definitely sound like me. I would without a doubt prefer to have my own room than share with another girl. Mainly, I want my own space and I hate how messy other people let it get. Oh, and I'm an annoyingly light sleeper but my roommates go to bed hours after me so I have to use earplugs if I want to get any sleep at all, but then I'm always afraid that I won't hear my alarm in the morning and blah and it's all one big mess. I've been going insane quietly for years.

(Dan's mom's birthday is at the end of May, so we'll probably go up to his house for at least part of the weekend. I might be able to work it out this weekend? I volunteer most of Saturday and I have a quiz/midterm on Monday to study for, but I can try to get that mostly done on Saturday and have Sunday free. Let me know!)

I'm so OCD/neat about my room. Which sucks because here at home, large bed means cannot clean. I'm a night owl and that's why I like my own room, so I don't feel bad about following my natural sleep pattern (which sucks for real life, darn the end of school). I'm also a light sleeper so having a roommate that gets up before me is annoying because while I can do the earplug thing and hear my alarm, I hate not being able to hear my surroundings. (Though, that may be what keeps me up at night because I get super paranoid and adrenaline rush and can't fall asleep.) Ugh, yeah, you need out ( ... )

honeystix May 15 2009, 05:18:06 UTC

I'm slightly OCD. A little mess doesn't bother me too much, but it can't get to be more than that. Fitting three girls into a single not-terribly-large bedroom? Yeah, it's more than a little bit messy. I agree, I need out! One roommate might be better than two, but I would prefer my own room.

(Okay, I'll still plan on getting everything done on Saturday. Just let me know if it pans out!)
