Sometimes in the Fall Fall Fall

This has probably been the slowest week I have had in a long time. Monday and Tuesday were extremely viscous due to some emotional setbacks. Thankfully, my stresses reduced after hump day (Wednesday). As I recollect my memory, I'll take us back to Sunday and work from there. I was torn between watching the Chargers vs. Giants game or enjoying the abnormally good surf. Because my roommate is a fervid Giants fan and I am a loyal San Diegan, I figured the football game would shed some good laughs and tears. After the Charger's eccentric victory I was in a good mood and decided to do all my homework that was due this week. I like busting out my homework early so I can spend the rest of my days studying for upcoming tests. Like I said Monday and Tuesday was such a drag. I couldn't really point out what was wrong because it was just a culmination of things. To distract myself, I worked out and ran to boost up my endorphins. I had another fun volleyball practice with my friends that almost turned sour when I had to retrieve the ball on top of the bleachers.

On Tuesday I had a meeting with my preceptorial assistant. We had a nice little chat about the classes I am going to take next semester and just overall see how I was doing. I spent the rest of my night studying for a psychology exam until I was interrupted by our floor's pet, Henry. Henry isn't your traditional pet for he symbolizes one of the many gray hairs of old Maher Hall.

I won't call him by his insect name because that is just plain degrading for poor Henry. After the bug fiasco ended, I ventured to the Camino dorms for a late night study session. I ended up falling asleep there for a few hours until my alarm woke me up for my 8 a.m class. I looked like a zombie for much of the day because of my sleep deprivation. I chugged along the rest of the academic day and took a nice siesta in the afternoon. That night I attended a ChatU as an Ambassador from 7-9 pm. This means I sat in a computer lab with other ambassadors and we chatted to prospective freshman over the internet. It was kind of weird doing this because just a few months ago I was in the curious, anxious position as a high school senior. After the chat I relaxed in my room a bit before the Maher RLC. As usual, the RLC sparked interesting conversations that really got me thinking about life. The discussion stuck with me for the rest of the night and even hindered my ability to sleep! Today is Thursday where I only have one class. Thus, the day is open purely for my ambitions and motives. After writing this, I am going to go study, eat, study, go to the gym, play volleyball, and study. I am looking forward to Friday because it is the first home basketball game against Stanford. I definitely need to practice my "oles". Till next week lads.
