So warm and yellow out today, it felt like the time between Spring and Summer when every breeze smells of sunshine and grass and it made me feel happy again.
Today I had the whole day free almost because I had to attend a parent/student orientation for the Tanzania program. Dr. Arons personally introduced himself to my parents before the program started (only them).. maybe he sensed their extreme apprehension. My dad asked him to spell his name out for him after their awkward hand-shake and scribbled it down on his paper and then soon began dotting the loose leaf with dashes and bullets and prepared to take notes -_-. LoL. Oh dad. Anyway, after about 15 minutes, I grabbed a dunkin donut and was escorted out along with all of the other students and instructed to wait outside on these dilapidated looking tables adjacent to the pond in Jasmine. It was nice and we all got to know each other just a little bit. Everyone seems pleasant and friendly and I'm not worried anymore at all about their characters or what I will do after Tanzania. Many people seem to want to travel, so I'll have plenty of buddies to choose from.
After the orientation, which lasted roughly 2 hours me and my mom headed out to the mall. I bought new summer clothes, a wind breaker/rain-coat and a luggage. Then we stopped to get bi-bim bap and sushi take-out and I spent the remainder of the day ignoring phone calls and napping. I watched some korean drama, took peeko out and let him roam around my floor, had a great cucumber melon bath, read for about an hour and am satisfied that I am finally on track with my readings again. This feels great. I need a day off every week.
My list from the other day is much shorter!
+Inquire about that damn 110 dollar ticket
+Hand in the forms to Costco about study abroad
+Finish reading for EGL 226..about 100 more pages to go which is nothing
+Apply for Student Loan and hand in financial aid sheet
+Pay for Kim's ebay thing GRRRR I have no clue why it won't accept my debit card, but I pretty much just have to wait for my new one to come in and replace this temp. one
+ *new* Register for summer classes
+*new* Buy Sipro(?) anti-biotics, special bug-spray, a first aid kit, a book for class collectively with someone else, another SD card and another camera for me and Vincent
Alright, that list doesn't look nearly as bad as the last one :) Making lists has really helped me a lot. Seeing everything in some sort of tangible essence rather than just calculating it in my head is good. When I only materialize everything with thoughts, they all seem wispy and unimportant and I get nothing done. This makes my little chores more real.
I felt so bloated with words today and now I'm just content and sleepy from my bath and can't write anymore. Goodbye
