After College Part 3

Since it is not quite after college yet I think I should do a countdown of sorts until that day does come.

Days until I graduate: 44 days.

Things to finish first:
1 midterm.
1 essay.
1 10 page play.
3 finals.

Shitty Week

This week sucks.

I have been sick and since everyone is worried about the swine flu i have been freaking out. I know I probably don't have the swine flu, but it's hard not to be freaked out about it anyways.

I am also experiencing cramping pains. BOO!

And lastly...I broke up with Kevin. He took it nicely, but was clearly REALLY fucking sad about it. Which makes me REALLLY fucking sad about it. I almost wish he had turned into a douche over it...then I wouldn't feel like such a piece of shit.

After College Part 2

Whoa dude. I'm seriously on a roll tonight with remembering shit I want to write about.

This blog's topic is travel.

I forgot to mention in the previous 2 blogs that I want to travel after college. With my nonexistent money of course. My plan to fix this is to beg my Uncle Dennis to get me some flights and some spending money. That guy is amazing...he is one of my heroes :)

OK if i for some reason finagle the money here is what I plan to do:

First. Road Trip.

Damon Poon, Angela Dang, and Todd Quigley have been my closest UCSC friends since the beginning of it. Without them I would not have made it through...sooo we plan on having one last hurrah. And since we are all poor we thought a road trip up to Seattle would be the cheapest way to go. We can stop at the drive thru zoo. We can also stop at the zoo that represents my childhood: The North West Trek. http://www.nwtrek.org/ I used to go there every other summer or so with my family when we would drive up to see my family in Washington. Shout out to my favorite town name: Puyallup. That place owns.

Second. Brighton England.

You totally saw that coming. Admit it you did. Katie begs EVERYONE she meets to come visit her in brighton. I think it would be freakin amazing to go. Especially since I have never been out of the country and Katie is freakin amazing. I would stay with her (saving on hotel) and we could go to some festivals. Reading festival anyone? or maybe Glastonbury? Tea in the park? we'll see what time I can get out there...and then I am all over that stuff.

Third. LA and LV.

I want to go to Las vegas with some people. My brother? Chelsea? Merced! And I would love to return to socal. I totally missed hanging out with Nikki. and that saddens me.

Fourth. Australia.

I want to go so bad. I also missed Wendy leaving so I feel like a huge douche. Downside is I have no idea if I would be able to stay with Wendy...and I have no idea what I would do when i get there. But a koala better be involved at one point.

Fifth. Other stuff.

I want to go lots of other places too. Just have not figured out where. I love knowing people in the ILC cause they can house me when I get there and tell me where to go when I get there.

Ok. So that is my traveling wish list for after college. Crap I have a lot to think about. Maybe I can win a contest for most awesome person and be gifted a million bucks?

After College Part 1

Wow. 2 blog posts in one night. You know what that means? PROCRASTINATION!

Yes. This week I have an essay due Monday and 2 midterms (1 on Tuesday, 1 on Thursday). And here I am doing absolutely nothing productive. Getting to the end of my college career has made me really lazy when it comes to class and really not lazy when it comes to social life. I party more now than I have in the entirety of my existence prior. I blame Katie. Her britishness is infecting my brain. She's always saying stuff like, "In England we do mid week drinking. America confuses me!" lol Yeah soooo...I find myself spending most of my Tues/Wed nights at a bar with the international students...or at Damon's place playing Wii. When I graduate all of this will stop. And that saddens me.

On to the real point of this update.

I'm fat. Ok...I'm not really fat. Just pudgier than I normally am. To fix this I plan to beg the crap out of my mom for a membership to club sport. Then I could go to the gym with Merced. And maybe my mom will even jump on board. This is part of my After college plan.

general plan:

1. Drivers license

2. Work out

3. GET A JOB

4. Move the fuck out of my parent's house. I love them, but I can not live with them

After college life in 4 completely ridiculous steps...

PS: Whenever someone asks me to my face what I plan to do after college my response will be: "Well my 5 year plan is to win the lottery. It's a pretty solid simple plan. And what will you be doing while I am enjoying my millions?"

After College Prologue

HOLY SHNAP! College is over in 7 weeks...eeee! Since it's almost over and all anyone seems to be asking me is...what are you going to do after?..I decided to use my blog to track all of my random thought processes on the after undergraduate life I am about to lead.

First off. Grad school?

I would love to go to grad school. but...i am a poor mother fucker and a very confused one. I have no idea what I would want to get a master or PHD in. So as it stands...I am taking a year or 2 off. Possible ideas for masters/phd: Forensic psych, Social Work, something else?

Second. Job?

I NEED ONE! Really badly. Areas I would love to work: non profits, for a psychologist, for an organization that is attacking our shitty government AND absolutely anything possibly involving music or the music industry. I was thinking about moving to SF and practically living at Bottom of the hill and other such places in the hopes that I make the right connection somewhere along the line. Problem with this is I have Fuck all for money, so I won't be able to move to sf until i save up some serious dough.

Third. Place to live?

I will obviously move home for the summer and beyond until I get enough money to move out. If I can swing it I would love to be out of my parents house some time in the year 2010. Which should not be too unreasonable. People I could live with?: Merced, Chelsea (if she comes up to sf), damon? angela? other people? I'll figure that out later.

Fourth. Drivers license?

I know. I'm lame and I still can not drive. This is the first thing I will do when I get home this summer. Perhaps even before job hunting. I have a serious fear that I need to overcome and thinking about getting a job whilst learning to drive will only make me have more panic attacks.

Lastly. Love?

I am still with Kevin. We'll see how this progresses.
