i dance naked in front of my pets

aight. ima write an entry to procrastinate making my modern art flashcards. probably not a good idea but has that ever stopped me before?

so now i'm thinking about biking on campus. part of the reason is cause i'm still obsessed with bike & build and this would be a way to let some of it out. another part is so that i can get to places faster without needing to lug up a piece of wood at the same time (plus i'd be able to go uphill). and the last part is that maybe riding the thing up hills will burn a few extra calories (or not). seeing as this summer i've figured out where a few of the plausible paths up and across campus are (via the few handicap ramps), i'm also a little more willing to give it a shot.

also starting to get a bit nervous about my classes this quarter. thanks to the wonderful uc enrollment system, i have now landed myself into physics, life sciences 2, ochem, and chem lab. all at the same time. in addition to that, i'll be having srp (that research thing that i do) 6-10 hrs a week. i'm maxing out my credit units. and all my classes will be notoriously hard sciencey lowerdiv classes. oh. and my ochem and life science 2 finals are 30 min apart. wtf.

ohyeah. and the biggest problem: this is me we're talking about.
say goodbye to my gpa (even more [noes!]).

though i better get used to it i guess...seeing as the way my life is planned out so far, i will be taking physics, life science, and one or two chem classes each quarter for the next year. *cry*


i'm also going to be a move-in assistant this year cause...well i don't really know why. i just am. movin' in sooper early on the 18th. that's about all for that i think.

recent lion dance performances this past friday and saturday were fun. got to our destinations sooper early though so we basically sat around bored outta our friggin minds for a couple hours before showtime. friday was for some autistic kids event thing, saturday for the 20th anniversary promotion dinner party thing for some company (turns out the company was the one that one of my fellow lion dancers interns for). it was set in some cathedral in downtown l.a. they had lots of fancy, rich stuff and really goodsmelling catered food. and i had to sit there for 2 hours staring at the cooking crew bust out all the goodies.

also on the car ride down to sat's performance, one of my current LD coordinators, janelle (who was the coordinator for taiko and had interviewed me at taiko tryouts last year) reminisced how our past LD coordinator, allie, had discussed about us newbies early last year with her. apparently allie had said something along the lines of me being "really good" and threatened janelle "not to steal me from lion dance" with taiko during the tryout period. this news was a bit awkward. a bit flattering. but really i also didn't know what to think about these secret talks behind my back. i mean, we (the younger members) always knew there were discussions behind the scenes amongst the older peeps. it's only natural. it's just kinda weird to hear about it. i'm kinda curious to know more now.

i'm also getting mixed signals as to whether i should try taiko again or not from LDers. janelle now ironically discourages it even though she was a taiko coordinator herself. and the person who was encouraging me to try it now kinda seems to be sending hints at not doing it. the biggest issue is time and commitment since i guess the two groups do overlap esp during the busiest time of spring quarter. i keep sayin' that i have no intention of ever leaving LD and that it'll still be my first priority club but they still seem a bit wary about it. perhaps doing several clubs along with school will never be a plausibly good choice. grr.

old highschool tennis people keep catching me offguard everywhere and i can't remember their names half the time. supposed to visit the team with tiff tomorrow which is making me a bit nervous. need to remember last names too in case of parents. apparently, tennis is being taken over by the "sophomore" (by sophomore, i mean when we were seniors) generation of overly involved parents and tim is "mean" now (they also have summer conditioning now HA). also, uniforms cost almost $200 bucks this year. like wtf?

rubik's cubes are fun and i'm going to eat a brownie now.
