Collegian training, nail paint and relationships

I freakin' love blogging. You wouldn't be able to tell from my oh so frequent posts, of course, but I really do.
So life's been fun lately. I've gone through some downs. Actually I've gone through lots of downs (I maintain that it could have been much worse, though) and I'm very grateful that I'm so lucky to have great people with me. To my best friend and cousin, Karen: I love you so freaking much. In all our crazy phone mis-conversations and what not. I think the real solution to this recent blargh-ity feeling would be locking ourselves in the bathroom and having a good, long talk. Just like when we were little! :D

As if I didn't have enough on my plate, I added a second job! I'm in training for it right now and it's an experience so far. I've made new discoveries regarding my personal interests, strengths, and motivations for life, for school, and for play. There's just so much to sponge up, I hope my brain can take it! The experience here as a member of the creative team hopefully will be useful in a career sense. If not, I suppose I'm strengthening my time management muscle. : /

I love the weekend as much as the next person, but I never really "lived for the weekend". Nowadays? Definitely living for the weekend. Each week, I look at this calendar printout and the time slots are ALL FILLED IN. Even then, I barely have time to finish reading all these novels.
Who else finds is strange to go from reading a novel for an Asian history class to reading a sci-fi novel? I wonder what my brain looks like when it switches modes.

Sci-fi.
Asian history.
Martian colonies.
Khmer Rouge.
Human versus machine.
Refugee camp brutality in gruesome detail.

Totally ridiculous.
