Snapshots: Dulce de Leche Cheerios, Harry Potter, and a couch

Today, I impulse bought a couch.

Now I got to figure out where to put it. Our apartment's pretty big for a single, but not thaaat big.

---

Today, next year's third roomie cancelled on us.

Now we gotta find another person by Monday. Good grief.

---

Today, I picked up a mint condition copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for a buck. Is it nerdy that I still got excited about it?

What can I say, I reallyreally like numbers 1 & 3.

---

Today, I saw one of the girls from my floor freshman year on the bus ride back to campus.

We chattered about life and it was good.

Everyone needs more coincidental meetings with consequential strangers {read the book! It's excellent} in their life.

---

Today, I wore a business skirt to work and I felt all professional and grown up.

It was weird.

Also amusing? The number of people who commented and asked me why I was so dressed up today at GOC. Come on, guys. I've been wearing dress pants and fancy shirts every Friday. You're just noticing now?

---

Today, I wrote "Gentlenes: prerequisit *curlique* fishing trip" in my notes at GOC.

Obviously, someone was drifting.

It was supposed to read: "Gentleness is a prerequisite for humility"... or maybe the other way around. As stated. Someone was drifting.

---

Today, I tried Dulce de Leche Cheerios for the first time.

They're not too bad, but I think I like Honey Nut better. Habit and tradition, ya know?

---

Today, I impulse bought a couch.

I still can't get over that.

Who impulse buys a couch?!?

On the other hand, I just bought my first piece of major furniture.

*yeaaah*

... I'm actually doing my reading for class. And it's not even the easy type reading from a Psych or Soc textbook. It's scientific articles with big words, no pictures, and a lot of small text. The world must be ending!

... I saw an old man wearing bright red skinny jeans the other day. I don't know if he's a professor or not, but goodness, his class would be interesting. He made my day.

... Orange Flavored Dried Cranberries from Trader Joe's. Amazing.

... I finally figured out a meal that I can make with reliable accuracy {read: yummy} and that doesn't take too long {as opposed to my 1.2 hours to de-fat chicken}. I am proud of myself.

... I went to two, read that again, TWO sports games in one, read that again, ONE weekend. Whoa me. UCLA Men's Volleyball Saturday night and UCLA Women's Gymnastics Sunday afternoon.

Of note, I went to both games by myself. I knowww, right? I never do that. If no one can go with me, I don't usually go. But... I dunno. I had fun and didn't have to worry about making conversation with anyone except my dad. We watched the vball game simultaneously 352 miles apart. Twas nice. Although the people around me were giving me funny looks and probably wondering why that Asian girl came by herself and then spent almost the entire time texting. Crazy kid.

... Men's vball is so much different from women's vball. The guys seem more all over the place while the girls make it look like a sport. Or an art. Sometimes both at the same time. Daddy says it's cause the guys hit so much harder that they don't have as much control over the ball. I think that's lame. Wouldn't it be better to hit it with less force if that means you wouldn't lose a point for serving out? *shrugs* Boys.

... Since I have class at 11am everyday {except the days I work, but 3 out of 5 days is the majority}, I made myself promise to wake up at 9am on those days so that I could at least try to get stuff done before going off to class. It isn't always easy, because who wouldn't want extra sleep? But it works for me now. In that small span of time after I get ready for school and eat breakfast, I'm able to read all my dailys and check facebook really quickly. Call it a young generation's morning newspaper. But yes. It's 10:22am now and I should be heading out. Four hour block of class, GO!

Right now...

... I am gathering intel on the clients at my PR internship. I need to know as much about them as I possibly can from Internet researching. The fact that I like all the businesses so far is a good indicator of how much I'll enjoy my time here. Yay, photography & food!

... I have my earbuds in my ears, but no music playing. It seems to have become a habit of mine, started back when I first started dorming and wanted to look uninterruptable. I don't actually know if that's a legit word. *grins*

... I have no homework. Whaaat.

... my roomies and I have taken to turning on two different sets of lights when we're in the apartment. Apparently, having just one on makes us feel rather isolated in our little circle of light, so having two on makes it feel more warm and inviting. Or something like that.

... someone should probably make the trip down the hall to take the trash out. That someone will probably be me. While I'm at it, I should probably check for my textbooks.

... our fridge and freezer are completely stocked. I think we have enough food for a month. Although we may run out of milk before then.

... Emma's giggling/snickering/snorting behind our closed bedroom curtain. I think she's watching "How I Met Your Mother". She doesn't have any homework either.

... I'm contemplating writing up a bunch of posts since I have no homework and I took a late nap. The joys of First Week.
