So... my car got totaled on highway 17 today. Some lady came speeding out of nowhere and smashed into the center divide and my car and sent me spinning into the center divide. My whole body hurts and I don't have a car anymore. I'm supposed to move this Sunday but that seems to be falling through because no one is being responsive or contacting me and now I don't have a way to get around. I am very happy to be alive but it still sucks. It doesn't matter how safe you drive because someone else is bound to be driving like a mother fucking asshole. I spent time laughing and crying over it and I still don't know how I feel; everything still feels surreal.

Sonja had her baby on April 28th and I am an auntie. I never really appreciated how awesomely cute babies were until now. Weird.

Her name is Kajsa and she is so freaking adorable.

Winter quarter started this week and I started my new job at UCSC. I decided to change my major again and I am pretty excited about it. So far I really like my job but I haven't necessarily started it yet. Things seem to be looking up and I am pleased.

I am hypersensitive to energy drinks nowadays. I have one tiny energy drink at one o'clock and can't fucking sleep all night. I wish I didn't have to get up in the morning and go to school. By the time I get to chemistry class tomorrow I am going to be struggling to keep my eyes open. Then I have to stay all day so I can go to Chem lab until 6:30 tonight. I am not pleased.

School keeps going and I am still unemployed but on a positive note the US department of defense is going to pay for my tuition and books.

I drank a carmel macchiato so I wouldn't fall asleep driving on 17 and now I can't sleep for shit; I'm brilliant! So here I am posting on live journal at 2 in the morning.

School starts in less than a week and I am excited and anxious about it. I also have an interview this week to become a math tutor.

Today, I was given extra paint and 2 huge ass 36"x48" canvases and some smaller ones to paint things for my little sister. I have never worked with such large canvases and I am nervous; it is going to take me forever to finish them and I have no idea where to start. Does anyone know what 13 year old girls like?

Well if anything good manages to come out of this I might actually post it and update my deviant art thingy.

I am totally convinced that Martha Stewart is a man in drag.

Regardless of the size or specifics of a river the average velocity can be found at 60% of the depth? I totally learned that today, integral calculus is a total mind-fuck.

I am sitting outside of the library on a bench under some giant redwood trees, which may be older than anyone I currently know and using the internet. Fucking awesome... I felt like I had to take advantage of the situation and use it to do something, so here I am updating my live journal for the first time in weeks, possibly months.

I pulled out in front of a police officer today quasi illegally and didn't even get pulled over... it made me happy.

I have been 21 for 11 days now and it really just isn't as exciting as I thought it would be. Whatever. The real party doesn't begin finals end.

So... I guess it has been a while since my last post...

This is the last week of the quarter and next week I have finals. The quarter system really does make classes fly by really quick. I can't fucking wait until it is all over with. I decided to switch to a biology based major and just minor in psychology. I suppose one could say that I had unreasonable expectations for the UCSC psychology department which I find to be somewhat lacking. I could tell within the first couple weeks that I wouldn't be happy or satisfied majoring in psychology anymore but I think I am going to minor in it so that the past two years won't be a waste. I have no idea what happened to my studiousness but it is gone, I missed more classes this quarter than I missed during any of my semesters at Cabrillo.

On an unrelated note...

I have a job interview with Best Buy tomorrow but I am not sure if I really want to work there or not. I am sick of the weird politics going on at my work and I don't want to worry about a quota anymore but I really don't want to wear khaki pants everyday that I go to work... I don't even own any! Also, I think they might want to stick me in the cell phone center which would be kind of weird considering it is in the same shopping center as my current job and I kind of want to get away from the whole industry.

So, today was my first day on at UCSC, the campus is so pretty. Walking to class is hiking through a forest of redwoods. I am all sore from walking around all of today and all of yesterday on campus. I don't care though because I am so excited and I had fun because I was with Jason and it was beautiful.

My Oceanography class was pretty interesting, I have never had a class with 271 students before. There was this group of retarded guys that were sitting next to me that kept talking and being all loud and obnoxious! It really bothered me I almost wanted to slap all of them. I really don't get what the point of going to class is, if all you are doing is having a loud retarded conversation. BLAH! I wish they were paying for their own schooling... Besides that almost everything was great.

Tonight, I am going to try and add Behavioral Neuroscience because it sounds so damn interesting. Jason already has the book and it comes with a physiology coloring book where you get to color all the sections of the brain and nervous system, fucking awesome.

So, today was my orientation at UCSC. I solved some of my financial problems while I was at school, it kicked ass! I enrolled in classes today... I'm so excited! I can't wait until finals week is over.
