2012, a thursday

Class, grabbed lunch and a chai from the Laughing Goat at the library and sat in the sundial square, enjoying the sun. Met up with Mo and Ian and we studied in a room in the library for a couple hours. Home, more studying, physics midterm. Agonized over so many questions. Home, physics prelecture, scored the round 1 games, currently trying not to pay attention to CU’s diminishing lead.

2011, a tuesday

Class, yoga, opened up the first box of Girl Scout cookies. Made flashcards, watched some ‘Doctor Who’, listened to the Nerdist podcast with Nathan Fillion.

the ides of march! nothing sinister happened today (so far). i went to walgreen’s to pick up photo prints i ordered from flickr and was sorely disappointed by the quality. bring back direct-to-target printing!! took a photo of my outfit and posted it since i didn’t want it to be wasted on just a 5 minute trip to walgreen’s. didn’t do much except work out and eat and watch star trek:tng.

Class, most exhausting hike ever for field geology. Hour and a half hike just to get to the trail we wanted to map. Then 1600 feet in elevation gain over about half a mile. We got halfway, thought we were off the map area, came back down, found out we weren’t, had to go back up—all the way up—and double time it. We were rewarded with a great view of the Continental Divide and a formation contact, but I seriously wondered if I was going to make it. Hurried back to the meeting area (my knees are killing me) and then had to make the insult-to-injury walk home from the geology building. And on the way—found out the old gum I’d put in a wrapper had squished it’s way out and was stuck all over to the wrapper and my lip balm and the inside of my pocket. Awesome. Home, hoovered some food, stretched, but still sore. Cannot believe I have to take a midterm in the morning. …And another one tomorrow night. Gah.

2011, a monday

Class, homework, class, ‘Torchwood’.

2010, a sunday

worked out, hit two targets and spent an insane amount of money buying liberty of london stuff. don’t worry, i’ve already got almost half separated out to return – i couldn’t just sleep on it since over half the stock was already gone and this was the first day it was available. went to get pie for pi day with angie and susan at house of pies, then entered this year’s march madness teams into the site – all good to go! cross your fingers :)

Slept as late as possible—still not used to the time change. Class, totally lovely day, Sed/Strat lab midterm, studied all evening for my astronomy midterm. Watched some ‘the Walking Dead’.

2011, a sunday

Slept in, walked to Los Feliz Village and went to the bank, then couldn’t resist and got an ice cream sandwich from the Coolhaus truck that was parked in front of Figaro. Also got a pint to take home. Spent the rest of the walk home trying to keep ice cream from melting down my arm. Mostly succeeded. Home, posted the NCAA brackets, watched ‘Torchwood’.

2010, a saturday

slept in, went to target, got groceries (and a big bunch of fresh flowers). went to maria and clayton’s for a big bbq, but left after just an hour for dinner in santa monica with college friends. met up with jula and terry and renee afterwards at a bar just down the street.

Class, field geology—gorgeous mid-60s day. Attempted to study for Sed/Strat lab midterm—realized I have an hour to do it tomorrow and gave up in favor of doing absolutely nothing. So wiped out from hiking.

2011, a saturday

Woke up crazy early. Went to Lora and Ben’s for a pancake party! Lots of toppings, pancakes, mimosas and thick-cut apple smoked bacon. Home, CVS, to Aroma in Studio City for tea/cake with Meghan and the other ladies, during which she announced her pregnancy (to everyone else). I ate so much cake I felt sick, and spent the next few hours in a sugar hangover. Home, calculus homework, ‘Doctor Who’.

2010, a friday

worked out, ortho appointment, saw ‘the crazies’ with alex and it was pretty good! went to the mall and returned some stuff, then went home. had a bunch of unemployment forms waiting for me (yay!) so immediately drove them to the post office. ate non-stop until i met up with everyone to go out with megan’s from-out-of-town friend. started at dimple’s then moved to sardo’s. went to vons and got some pizzas for late-night snacks.

Daylight savings time stole an hour from me. Had these incredibly vivid dreams about holding the key to the cure to some terrible disease in my immune system—people were trying to kill me, buildings were exploding, crazy plans to zipline through a doorway moments after the doors blew open, etc. Worked out, made a spinach-egg-quinoa thing for breakfast, studied for my midterms. Talked to Maria, played a little Glitch. Took a practice test for physics, still need to study for tomorrow’s Sed/Strat quiz. Currently eating a lot of peanut butter.

2011, a friday

Slept in, yoga, took car to the shop, hung out at the Americana and had blood orange Pinkberry and sat by the fountain and enjoyed the sun. Home, ate half a Crumbs cupcake for dinner, surprise invite to see ‘Rango’! Went with Cameron, Steve and Kirk and it was The Best Movie I’ve seem since ‘Easy A’ or ‘Inception’ or maybe even ‘How to Train Your Dragon’. Completely amazing, and during the Ride of the Valkyries scene I realized I had this huge, open-mouthed stupid grin on my face, I was enjoying it so much. Also I did a lot of laughing when no one else in the theater was laughing but WHATEVER IT WAS AMAZING.

2010, a thursday

worked out, processed photos, took advantage of the beautiful day and sat out on the stoop and read. got a little chilly so came inside and read. made really good chicken tacos for dinner. walked to the actors co-op and saw dave’s production of ‘wit’ with renee and terry, then the four of us went to 101 diner. walked home, and i know this is really pretentious, but listened to my new favorite miles davis album and totally loved on la for the whole walk.

Yoga, gorgeous day in the 60s (felt like the 80s or 90s on my balcony) so I spent most of it outside, reading or studying. Even had lunch out there. It was glorious. It was also not that great of a study day, turns out. Couldn’t focus; weather was too pretty.

2011, a thursday

Class, homework, prelab, lab, ‘Doctor Who’.

2010, a wednesday

went to see ‘shutter island’ with megan, lunch at olive garden, then hit the mall for some coupon-using. spent the rest of the day/night processing photos and fretting over a terrible out-of-nowhere allergic reaction I had last night, but could not recreate it from what I had eaten, so am at a loss.

Class, went to see ‘John Carter’ which I really enjoyed! I liked it so much I started reading the first book in the Barsoom series. Spent the rest of the night playing Glitch and drinking wine with Star Trek on in the background. Crazy Friday night!

2011, a wednesday

Calculus, homework, study for chemistry test, take chemistry test, feel like I didn’t do so well and some of the questions. Home, started the ‘Doctor Who’ season 4 finale, helped Eric look through photos for all of the new You are listening to…sites.

After 70+° temperatures yesterday, back to the low 30s and freezing rain. Field geology was cancelled, spent the afternoon doing homework and watching TV and napping.

2011, a monday

Calculus, review for test. Did endless number of proofs. Chemistry, review for THAT test. Got out early, thank god. Crazy winds in LA tonight. Lots of traffic on You are listening to Los Angeles!

2010, a sunday

slept late, went to lunch at the mercantile with my valley girls. had extremely slow, poor service, so much so that meghan and i had to bust ass to get to the grove in time to see ‘alice in wonderland’ with renee and terry. we made it pretty much as the previews were finishing. then, i went to elaine’s to watch the oscars. she had a lovely spread out as usual, including crack pie (which is INSANELY GOOD), and i brought snickerdoodle muffins. had a great day!

Slept in, class, so hot out—70°!—studied and did homework out on the balcony in shorts while eating a popsicle and was still sweaty. Started a big core project in Sed/Strat which is not welcome at all considering my time commitment to field geology. Physics homework forever, physics pre-lecture…and I guess now it’s time to start getting ready for bed since I have to be up early to register for summer classes.

2011, a sunday

Yoga, studied calculus. Answer questions from a census person. More studying. Saw the launch of Eric’s new project! It’s great!

2010, a saturday

worked out, did some returns, went birthday present shopping, saw renee’s play (she was great!). went out after to cat & fiddle with renee, terry, angie, tiffany and renee’s college friend dave. dessert was unsatisfactory, so renee, dave, terry and I went to canter’s. great, weird conversation ensued. finally left at about 2:30am.

Wide awake at 6:30. Why. Beautiful day—in the 60s! Field geology was actually quite pleasant without horrible winds or temperatures in the 30s. Did some icy hiking at the end though, which I could’ve done without. Home, tired, dinner, a bit of homework, ‘Deadwood’.

2011, a saturday

Studied all day. A fair amount of procrastination thrown in. Brief visits from Meghan and Josh, and Renee. Much chips and salsa were eaten.

2010, a friday

ran errands, processed photos, made snickerdoodle muffins (AMAZING), made fish tacos, had a quiet friday night at home.

Up early, worked on field geology, read, did homework all day. Managed to catch up with ‘Smash’ during meal and brain-rest breaks. Up late working on field geology.

2011, a friday

Up early to move my car for street cleaning. Yoga, chores, off to Santa Monica to meet with my former math prof. He was very helpful! Killed some time at the mall, then met Renee for lunch in Culver City. TJ’s, home, finished up my chem lab and my online homework. Time to do some more memorization and go over notes.

2010, a thursday

went to see ‘the wolfman’ with megan g, went to lunch with her and maria and clayton, then went to the mall to use a gift card. did not find anything at the store where i had the gift card, spent too much money at another store (eeeek). met up with friends at red lion and stuffed myself with german food.

Slept in (which means until 9). Yoga, errands, enjoyed my Panera lunch whilst watching ‘Grimm’. Spent all afternoon on my stratigraphic column. Then had to redo it. Agonized over depositional environments and finally was all, screw it, and just wrote something. TNG, astronomy reading, tea and cookies.

2011, a thursday

Class, made plans with my math prof from last semester to come in to get some extra help. Home, chem lab, had a great time with my partner Laura and a girl who teamed up with us for the night, Su Jong. She thought I was Vietnamese though? Home, ate some cake, watched an amazing 2-part ‘Doctor Who’.

Class, watched ‘Rango’, took a nap, filled out my in-state tuition petition, watched the special features on the ‘Apollo 13′ Blu-Ray then watched the movie itself. Cried all the way through the ‘Lost Moon’ featurette. Suspect that I have chosen the correct career path, but may be too emotional for other scientists.

2011, a wednesday

Learned nothing in class, made appointment to meet with my old math teacher to get some real learnin’. Homework, study, web videos, chemistry, wherein I may have won over my professor with my dazzling stoichiometry skilz. Well…I mean, at least now he knows I’m not an idiot and I actually participate. Home in the crazy rain, scored some ‘cheap’ gas (only $3.75!).

2010, a tuesday

processed photos so long my legs got all stiff from not moving. actually cooked. watched the rest of the new ‘emma’ series. mr. knightley!

Really weird vivid dreams, second night in a row. Another awesome astronomy class (got some physics help from my classmates—they totally rallied around the hw problem!), frustrating physics tutorial, good Mars meeting. Lunch, errands, physics and astronomy homework, physics reading and pre-lecture. Just realized another round of midterms is sooner than I’d like…eyes on the prize: spring break in Portland!

2011, a tuesday

Class, yoga, homework, prelabs, flashcards, probably some ‘Doctor Who’ tonight and maybe some reading if these darn word games don’t keep distracting me! Thank goodness I don’t have class Tuesday nights!

2010, a monday

worked out, processed photos, was unable to sleep during regular sleepy-time hours.
