Jessica :)'s Journal

16th May, 2004. 11:44 pm. home

I'm home. Yay. Really, it does feel nice to be home, if a little boring right now. The day I got back I went by UCLA and took Jay and Jason to the beach with me. Good times, then left for Yosemite w/my 'rents the next day and got back today. At some point tonight I'm going to write t he paper that's still due (yay for extensions past when grades are even due!) It's a critical analysis of the modernist gender crossings in My Antonia and The Sun Also Rises. Really, I'm going to enjoy it more than you think, I'm just lazy.
I've developed a thing for online scrabble. Yay for quadplex.com.
It's wierd reading everyone's posts....I feel really removed from everything... everyone here is still coming back from school on random weekends or somehow involved in this...I don't know...what to me is its own world. There is school world and home world. School world at least has the decency to have everyone step out of it at the same time, but here things keep happening and moving foreward. Interesting perspective on life, although it makes you appreciate your friends that much more...the people you can not see and then come back to and pick up where you left off, laughing harder than you remember having laughed but knowing you're going to think that again next time you hang out. Friends that remmeber your quirks and sayings and adapt to the new things you do, but understand them in the context that is you. Time is this crazy thing, and the more I experience the more I realize it. Memory is this strange snippit of time that glances back and tugs at the strings of your emotions so that you somehow feel validated in that past experience, that you can connect to it somehow and how it has affected every moment of your life since then. You never know which moment is going to make the difference.
Sorry, I should come back from the romp in my mental landscape. I keep getting more and more like that, when I'm by myself I get all contemplative and cought up in the thoughts without really ever deciding or saying anything. I'll blame it on smoking too much pot :-p.
Back from that tangent, I miss you guys. Everyone!! We should do things and hang out this summer. I'm home for a amazing four months and cna't wait to take advantage of every second.
I can't really think of anything else...that's why I hardly post...what the hell am I supposed to post about?
Okay, I will tell one wierd thing that happened the last day of finals, 2 Fridays ago... I had this incredible random sensation of the year having come full circle. This guy Jay in my hall (and his roomates and that group of sophmores in the hall) were kinda the first people I got to know in college at the very beginning of the year. It was the first room in the hall I hung out in too. He was also the first person that got me stoned. Randomly, before I went off and hung out w/my friend Laurie, I got stoned w/him and some of the sophmores, and hung out in that room a little while pondering the cyclic nature of life (okay, yeah, I was stoned, I have an excuse) and it was just funny. The things you never expect....

Current mood: bored but contemplative.

23rd April, 2004. 4:39 pm. One of those days...no, not those days, THOSE days

I am in the world's best mood right now, I don't even know why...
I had a relaxed night last night, worked out again (slightly sore, I've been increasing my weights) and got the Igby Goes Down sndtrk w/a gift certificate I got for helping out w/a women in comp sci study for the assistant to the chair of the computer information systems dept's doctoral thesis. AWESOME soundtrack.
Got slightly stoned last night, I was energetic too when I did it so it was just one of those generally amused highs, fell asleep at like 2/230 instead of 4/430 like the past few days (I wake up at 830) woke up really refreshed. Made myself a chai w/half water half espresso and some carmel flavoring that was ridiculously good, so I also started my day off w/an extra caffiene sugar kick (sugar always affects me, and the caffeine was on an empty stomach so it added a little perk). Italian midterm went well. Went to the last part of a women in comp sci lecture and got a great catered lunch, my cse prof was really nice and asked me to come to office hours b/c she knows I have a lot of issues programming still and this project is harder than you could imagine(client and server game of texas hold em' polker).
Had psych lecture, which was really amusing it was just a relaxed overview/application/fun lecture, and the prof's AMAZING so it was really good. Made plans to go to Chris's Jazz CAfe w/Val next week (which is, according to my yoga instructor, run by the albanian mafia) and I'm meeting Alex (yes, both of the girls are in my sorority...I told you there's very chill people in it!) to go to the mixer/bbq at Alpha Chi Ro and hang out cuz we haven't in a while. Went to my meeting w/my english teacher (for my modernist literature seminar) to talk over my final paper. I really enjoy tlaking about literature, and she agreed with and liked all of my ideas. She told me that it was great having me in class and that she thinks I'm really good at English and critical literary analysis which enforces my belief that maybe I should major in English...
THEN
As I was leaving I had this educational epiphony... I'm doing computer cog sci and if I did a concentration in linguistics (as much as I like psych this might be the better idea, although maybe I could throw psych in there somewhere) and an English major I would be connecting them in the sense that it's all these differnet perspecitives of language, etc. and this is a lot of what I have interest in. And English comes to me a lot more naturally than Comp Sci, so I'd have a balance of classes that had a variety of levels of challenge. I called Jay, bless his soul for humoring me, in like my exited epiphony moment to bounce the idea off of him, he said it made sense. Came back here, took a shower, getting ready to go out...just a great day. Yay life.

Side note, as it's my last day of freshman classes in college, I figured I should go ahead and have at least my first game of edward 40-hands my freshman year in college (duct tape 2 40 oz. bottles of beer to your hands and you can't take them off until you've finished them...yes, you end up pretty drunk) so that's prolly happening tonight. Good times.

And in 2 1/2 weeks I'll be home! Woot!

Current mood: ecstatic.

20th April, 2004. 2:18 am.

I think that a few people in my hall and I have probably contributed to the decision of a few kids to not attend penn. 4 "prefrosh" (prospective students who got in but are still deciding) are staying w/some friends of mine next door, and there's some others scattered around the hall. Gavin, one of my really good friends (albeit crazy) took two of the kids in his room next door to get drunk at his frat. Only one of them had ever drank before, they're asian, and were apparently bright red by their second game of beruit. Another one was hanging out talking to Myron (one of hte roomates) and I was getting stoned w/Ray(another one of the roomies) and Jean, with Ray freaking out about the kids seeing him. I go out to try and be social while Ray and Jean ran away and proceed to just sit there and look stoned (my eyes get bright red, it's a dead giveaway). JS comes in, sees the situation, and says that it's not as bad as when he went into our RA's room and when he asked how JS"s last night of spring fling had gone he mentioned getting into a fight w/a homeless man (he was trying to rob him... different story), leaving off when our RA was like 'prefrosh! prefrosh!'. Furthermore, the kid who was around while I was stoned proceeded to have a convo w/Gavin and I about Penn after Gavin and the other 2 kids came back drunk, where we find out he is totally straight edge. I was amused, despite feeling really bad and trying to talk about the diverse opportunities to have fun on campus. Then I went back to my room and watched southpark or something.

Other than that, I keep thinking I've been busy but it's just because I've gotten really good at distracting myself fromt he fact that I'm procrastinating. Spring Fling was fun, it's this huge party that's basically an excuse for everyone to drink all day for 3+ days. I did not make it to many parties at night, and definitely no late-nights because I was too hung over by like 11 every night. Now I have lots and lots and lots of work, a paper analyzing modernist lit, a ridiculous programming project, a 'midterm', and 4 finals. All in the next 2 1/2 weeks. Joy of joys. But, I am on top of it, so it's good. And things are looking up because I can finish all necessary work early in the day tomorrow and thoroughly enjoy the first 4/20 I will ahve ever smoked on.

I don't know if I mentioned, but I finally declared my Engineering major: Computer and Cognative Science - like a light comp sci degree with some classes in linguistics, psych or philosophy so that you can do artificial intelligence and interfacing and stuff. Woot. College major is down to ling, psych, sociology, or english, I think. It all fits together much better than you'd think.

The weather is finally getting nicer, thank goodness. Although even the mild humidity is bothering me. For all the romantic notions I had of the east coast, I'm not sure, but I think I've decided that living in this climate is pretty much on par with mild schizophrenia, maybe with the exception of like I-bankers and people on broadway. and masochists.

Chi Omega, despite my entire belief in not ever joining a sorority, is going well, after pledge it's nice b/c it's all optional, and I do have a lot of fun, there's a lot of very chill girls.
Can you imagine all the things I've done this year that I said and thought I'd never do a year ago? At least 4 come to mind right away.
Today I saw this cute Italian film, La Forza del Passato, about the past and our perception of it, I really enjoyed it.

Well, I've sat here for long enough, I've got to go take a shower (I just worked out) and finish my hw. It's nice, I feel like it's been a productive day.




OOOOH side note - Watch tv next sunday, the 24th, and see if there's a march in washington on the new...I'm going to be in what's supposed to be the largest march for women's rights in history or something like that... 1 million+ people? The March For Women's Lives is to show the government that yeah, we're not happy that you're taking our rights to choice, health and privacy away, hoping we won't notice, so that you can start chipping away at the freedoms you claim to protect. And such. :)

2nd March, 2004. 1:51 am. form of procrastination #764

Wow. It's already spring break. I can't wait for it to come, but I can't believe it's already here. The past month and a half have flown by - so much has happened it feels as if it's been a 4 months, but it's flying by so quickly I could swear my plane landed a few weeks ago. I feel bad though, I haven't been as involved in any clubs and for the first time in 5 or 6 years (more than that depending on how you count it)I'm not involved in anything drama related, but it's probably good since pledging has taken up so much time.
Yeah. Pledging. I'm pledging a sorority. Shocking, but true. They're very kewl girls and I've been having a good time. It's actually a pretty wierd feeling that pledging's going to be over, it's been such a big chunck of my time. In like two and a half weeks I'll officially be a sister in Chi Omega... "Laid back girls that drink like fish" as described by one girl... amen... the girls do know how to have fun.
Declaring my engineering major: computer and cognative science (comp sci + a concentration in some combo of psych/linguistics/philosophy, used for AI and human-comp interfacing, etc). Contemplating psych, sociology, urban studies, and others for my liberal studies degree. Yeah...I'm never going to graduate. As for school, I'm treading water in my classes, still having comp sci troubles, but the challenge is good for me, I need to get my scholastic ass in gear.
I'm looking foreward to being home, thought about stopping by the theater and seeing if I could scare up some trouble and watch a dress rehearsal. Call me, email me, something, we should hang out. A week is going to fly by, unfortunately.
I'm not really sure what else I could mention, I'm sure there's tons. I've got plenting of entertaining stories for when I return, promise. And I might try and start posting more than like once every other month.
Much love.

Current mood: restless.

It's me again. Look at this mad updating. I'm at work right now, dreading driving home since the traffic is supposed to be really really bad, although I havne't decided how late I'm going to stay. I'm at the switchboard right now, I get to say "Good afternoon, ______(name of whatever department they're calling, how can I help you?" good times :-p. Last night Dustin, Jay, Kristen, Jason, Erik & Carrie Nass came over and we watched movies, it wsa good times, although I got all tired early (prolly has something to do w/waking up for work). I was happy I got to see everybody, but we still have to have GNO soon. Umm...yeah, there's not much else to say. I can't believe Christmas is only 2 days away! This semester flew by, and it's so wierd, I hadn't even really realized it was the holiday season yet. Yeah, so nothing eventful, I don't even really know why I'm updating. But I am.
Much Love.

So yeah, I'm home!!! It's great to be here, it's great to see everyone, it's great to not be cold. Jay came w/my 'rents to pick me up at the airport, which was awesome. I was so tired, I don't know when I went to bed the night before and I woke up at 6 something am on my friend's couch and went back to my room but couldn't fall asleep but still couldn't fall asleep til almost 4 am west coast time, which was kinda crazy. The next day I hung out w/Jay for liek ever, which was awesome, got to drive a bunch, which was also awesome, then saw my friends from church, which was stellar. It's so great to hang out w/people from here, it's just refreshing and comforting. So we all have to hang out. Although, before I left school things were getting cooler there. It's crazy though, I keep just realized how much I missed everyone. I love you guys *warm fuzzies*
So yeah, Jason and I are smokin' up and seeing LOTR today at some point, good times. And Kristen is coming home today, so even more good times, yay, I'm really excited to see her. Um, yeah, that's about the updates, call me!!!!!!!! :-D

Hey guys...
Sorry I haven't updated all semestere, I suppose I should've, but yeah... I 'm lazy and I never feel like I know where to start with reading these things.
Right now I should be studying calculus. But I am a slacker (hardcore!) my grades this semster are going to be so less than par. Ces't la vie, right? Life's been wierd here, I'm finally starting to feel emotionally settled here, I guess. I'm just so looking foreward to going home and seeing everybody and relaxing and having mass fun times. I miss everyone sooooo much! Way more than I expected to, actually. I just can't wait to go be with people that really know me, and my quirks, that understand me a lot better. People here aren't nearly as kewl.
I'm trying to think of things to tell you so there's no really big surprises. Um... I'm pale(I feel like I look sickly!), my hair's darker, I've totally put on the freshman 15 which is driving me insane cuz I'd just lost all that weight and aaaaaaaaaaaaaah htere are no words for the frustrations. So I'm gonna hardcore do the diet thing and get back to the slender me, the on e that fits into my clothes :-p. Um, I'm in need of a haircut. I've picked up a few bad habits... I smoke pot sometimes (once every other week or so?) and cloves. Starting to smoke pot was me deciding, hell, why don't I try it, I am actually curious, and yeah, it's good times. Smoking cloves was the decision of boredom becoming self-destructive. I drank 6 or 8 redbulls to see what would happen, was watching Igby Goes Down (in which they smoke cloves) and was like, ya know, cloves smell REALLY pretty. So I went on an adventure the next day and found them. And yeah, they're mass enjoyable. I'm a glutton for stimulants. As for boys, I reserve those stories for conversations and non-public postings. Umm, I'm sure I left something out, but we'll all have to chat when I return, we all must hang out. GNO will resume, I assume. Call me!! 267-608-5723, my cell, it's usually with me. I think I'm going to throw a shindig at my house some night, so I expect all y'all to be there. Love u much, hugs n kisses.
