It's all good
I woke up at 6 in the morning today, put on my bathing suit, dragged Chrissy & David out of bed, then walked down to the beach despite the morning fog. A girl in our house from England set up this event called "May Dip" where people in England jump into the ocean at dawn on the 1st of May. Well, we went over there and it was dreary, overcast, and cold. Only a few people showed up but nobody wanted to swim. Only David, Fiona (the English girl), and I swam. My legs immediately numbed and it was almost painful to be in water that cold. We didn't stay in for long, but we felt accomplished and had hot chocolate afterwards. yay :)
I didn't boycott class today. Did any of you? No...after I swam + showered I went to my 8am chemistry class and fell asleep in my comfy chair...went to my 9am computer programming class and slept through that too (my friend said i slept with my mouth open. how embarassing)...but hopefully I learned something anyway. When I came back to the dorm I took a really long nap, and felt blah. I went to my Physics discussion despite there being a blackout over much of campus (we think it may be possible that the power outage was intentional because of the immigration boycott) and I was the only student who went. But hey its ok. For one hour I got my own private Physics tutor! And boy do I need it. Physics + Math I'm worried about the most.
Chemistry + Computer programming are my favorite classes. Writing is fun too, in a different way...but it's also time consuming.
Anyway. Today I also went over to the Chemical Engineering offices and asked the advisor what was going on with my application. I petitioned the first day of Spring Quarter. That was over a month ago! Turns out they only JUST approved me, and now they are sending my application to the college of engineering to approve me. Either way, this means I'm pretty much in. I don't really feel happy, I was a little worried, but I pretty much thought I was going to get in anyway. This is a tough major and I know it. I'm already stressed as it is, but I also know it will be really rewarding and fun. Actually I am happy. I'm just really preoccupied with my classes now.
And it's not like I don't have a social life. David took me out for a wonderful lunch at an Argentinian restaurant yesterday, and I had sushi with Chrissy the night before too.
