update of the year
i'm not going to be lazy anymore! i will update more often now. i promise. mostly for my sake.
today i slept through chemistry. 8 am classes suck, but i have no choice. i remember snoozing my alarm at 7:00 am. i don't remember my ihome turning my ipod on to wake me up because i don't think it did and i don't know why. but the next thing i do remember is johanna's cell phone ringing, me looking at the clock, seeing the time as 8:50, and then me thinking "well, chemistry just ended". i believe the first word that came out of my mouth this morning was a very groggy "fuck".
oh well, what can you do?
this week is going to be crazy busy and i'm procrastinating by posting on my neglected journal. i have to study for my chinese quiz tomorrow (more like cram) and do the assigned homework. i have to go to my asian american women's experience class in about twenty minutes. that class is intense. three hours long, one day a week. i'm quite intimidated by the amount of upperclassmen in the class, but i need to learn to get over that. our midterm is a group paper and i unknowingly joined a group of pomona upperclassmen. i'm just a little intimidated, but i will try my best. i'm already three weeks behind on the reading for this class. ever since the professor announced that the readings weren't going to be tested on and only used for discussion in class, i've been quite lazy. it's too bad, too, because they're really interesting.
i'm thinking about majoring in asian american studies or international relations. or maybe biology or something. perhaps premed? i don't know. i think being a doctor would be fun, rewarding, and not to mention would bring in a nice income. but i'm sort of lazy and i don't know if i want lab classes for the rest of my school career. lab is definitely not fun. my parents are pressuring me to become a pharmacist. their reasonings? "it's easier than being a doctor", "it pays well", "you can't do anything with a major in asian american studies". what does that translate to me? "you won't cut it in med school", "money matters", "we want you to do something practical, not something you have an interest in". i know that this isn't what my parents are thinking, but it sure comes off that way.
on another note, march is the month of concerts. seriously. let's see which concerts are coming along. the bolded ones are the ones i'm going to/i'm considering on attending.
3/1 Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins (i haven't really heard her new album, but i'm a rilo fan, so we'll see)
3/12 The Elected (same reason as above)
3/22 The Sounds in LA
3/23 The Sounds in Pomona
3/23 Metric
3/24 The Sounds in San Diego
3/25 The Strokes
3/28 Black Eyed Peas
3/29 Black Eyed Peas
3/30 The Strokes
4/29-30 Coachella
6/3 Pretty Girls Make Graves
uh..so i'll be broke for about two months. :(
i'm thinking about doing drum corps again. i really miss it, but there's so much i want to do. get a job, get an internship, go to summer school, go to taiwan, etc. but my brother's wedding is in the middle of tour and on a show day (assuming i return to impulse, which is another issue in of its self). the schedule seems manageable with wedding rehearsals (i think :/) and they'll probably let me fly out. but then everything will cost so much. money is evil. i don't know what to do. and as i've said before, talking to people with no experience with corps is useless as they don't understand what corps is or what corps means to me. but the people with corps experience always tell me to continue and age out, etc. but i can't do this for the rest of my life!! i have other plans, but i miss the activity. ugh. i need someone to make decisions for me.
and i'm going to continue this in the next journal entry written during times of procrastination because i have to get to class now.
