entry the sixteenth
a list of occupations i would like to have in life in order to make a living for myself and others:
1. professional gift-wrapper (i would specialize in bow-tying and ribbon-curling)
2. professional gift-sender (does someone need a birthday present? i'm your girl)
3. professional mix-cd maker (these are great to wrap and send as gifts, especially through the mail)
4. professional collage-maker (also great to send through the mail)
5. professional color-and-accessory coordinator (not exactly sure what all this entails yet- i think it as more to do with interior spaces and gift wrap than with clothing)
6. professional do-er of eyebrows
7. professional receptionist
8. professional etsy store owner (or ebay. i'm not picky)
9. professional hawker of handmade goods
10. peace corps volunteer
that's pretty much it. most of these things excite me a lot more than teaching, or they seem to right now at this moment. hmmmmmmmmmmmmumumumum.
whatever.

entry the fourteenth
after i take my sociology final tonight, i'll be a junior in college. hello!
everything's getting packed up into suitcases and boxes and i'm trying to say goodbye to everyone before we spread out all over america. forget studying. it's lame anyway.
i don't really feel that way. i love everything i've learned this year.
in any case, i went to take my pictures and paintings and things off the walls, and they just looked so sad and empty, so i'm going to leave all that up until the last possible second. it's been a good year. i hope it will be a good summer, too.
i'm going to go sell my last few books back and, for next semester, get my mail forwarded to switzerland. it better not be hot in murrieta when we get home :)

euclid street
i'm more thankful now that we were able to go to the protest than even when we were there in the streets with our signs and balloons. i feel like the olympics are coming up more and more just in conversation as a matter of course with the media and all, and it's so good to be able to talk to people about it from firsthand experience. it's surprising how many people don't know about darfur and even tibet, but i feel like anything that i can share with them about it was worth the gas money. which is the whole point of having protests anyway. (whether it justifies our carbon emissions on that trip is another story :)
also, instead of calling this 'entry the thirteenth,' i'm calling it something else, for the following reason:
many cities with numbered blocks choose to skip the number 13 in the sequence of streets because it's generally considered unlucky. so instead of 13th street, the sequence will read 11th, 12th, euclid street, 14th- in honor of some man named euclid who had a lot to do with geometry. if i knew more about math i could elaborate on this, but i just don't. my roommate told me this story, and it could be totally untrue, but it sounds reasonable enough! plus, i used to live on a euclid street with my dad in buffalo, and i know there's one in berkeley, in santa monica and in anaheim, so i'm pretty convinced of it.

entry the twelfth
hokai. so.
the whole posting something every day just isn't going to happen. i ran out of things to say about me on like day six. everything else i could probably pull off, but who cares to see that. so whatever flows out of my genius little fingertips into this glorious little box that holds words..that's what happens then.
last tuesday whitney and i decided to go to san francisco to protest china. so we got in the car at around 5, got to berkeley at midnight, took a tour of the campus with michele (i don't know why i'm not going to school there- more on that later) and then went to sleep in michele's dorm. we got up the next morning, went to the protest. had our signs. we were expecting for the torch to come by our group around 130 or so, but it never came. our side of the street was pro-darfur, and the other side was pro-tibet. on our block i'd say there were 500 people or so altogether- but i can be a terrible judge of numbers. what i'm sure of is that the torch never came by, which was really discouraging to every one of us. so we walked down to the plaza where the closing ceremonies were meant to be held to wait for the torch to get there. it never came, but there were so many people.
you should have seen all of them. there were just so many. hundreds. the majority were pro-tibet, which was so encouraging to see. there weren't as many pro-darfurians as i thought there might be, but actually i'm not sure that ended up mattering, because i know that the number of people there did make an impact. they wouldn't have changed the route of the torch if it didn't. as long as people are talking about these issues, that's wat matters. when we found out the torch was never going to come by, even for the ceremonies, whit and i headed back to the car to get on the road. i drove home, like the last time we went to san francisco. i like the drive, and i had a lot to think about. we listened to the once soundtrack almost the whole way back, and now i love love love it. probably when i listen to it a year or more from now all that i'll think about will be driving back from san francisco. i'm getting pretty good at it.
when we got back to school, the first thing chenese said to us was that protesting china right now is like protesting the olympics (period) which is disrespectful to the athletes and so no one should protest. that was super discouraging, maybe as much as not being able to see the torch come by us. i do have respect for the athletes. but i don't think there's ever a time where games that represent peace and equality can rightfully be represented by a country whose foreign and domestic policies dictate otherwise. and sports are never more important than human rights violations. i don't understand though how some aren't making a distinction between protesting the idea of the olympics and protesting these olympics and the issues that are happening right now. hm.
i know this happened like a week ago but maybe when i'm fifty i'll want to tell my children about it.
remind me to talk about berkeley later.

entry the eleventh
recap since friday: after a humiliating visit to the student health office on campus in which i almost started crying because i just wanted my mom so much, i'm pretty much recovered from my debilitating disease. i can walk around again!
in other news, there are only two weeks of class left before finals, and i'm really not sad about it. since senior year of high school started i can't even count the times i've announced that "it's gone by so quickly," but it really has, and especially this semester. i've learned so much about myself and the kinds of things i want to do and about life. in no particular order.
1. i'm pretty sure that i love college in general and not specifically pepperdine. i've been wondering if this was the case since the first few weeks of class, and now that it's winding down i'm feeling like it is. pepperdine is a great place with great people and beautiful surroundings, but chances are i could have gone to berkeley or william and mary and have felt the same way about college life. and all this actually really satisfies me because i know that whatever happens with transferring or not and especially with going to switzerland i'll still feel grounded and content.
2. the depressive state that they tell you to expect within the first few months of college is completely not mandatory. i was totally expecting to feel it, and at the end of last august before i came to pepperdine i was starting to prepare myself for it and i even thought i knew what it was going to feel like, but it never came. that was such a blessing, in ways you can't even begin to imagine. everything ran so smoothly here from the beginning. it's wonderful.
3. i hate television. and by "i hate television," i mean that i hate watching tv instead of going and having exploration expeditions and going to the beach to play harmonica and splash around in the waves at nighttime. that's probably the one thing i would have changed about this semester: i would have chosen for my roommate to not have a tv. because, let's face it, when there's a tv on in a room, there's not much else going on. i'm not going to miss television at all next semester.
4. where you are is all in your state of mind. i live in malibu. my mailing address is pacific coast highway. sometimes when there isn't any fog at night you can see the ferris wheel at santa monica from our caf. it's beautiful! and to be perfectly honest, i can see myself having been just as happy anywhere else. i'm not trying to say malibu is lame or that i don't appreciate being here, because i think i really do, but it doesn't really matter. obviously location is important, and it can really set your state of mind (if it wasn't or didn't i wouldn't be so excited to study abroad), but at this point in my life i think i'm really depending on other things.
5. "other things" pretty much includes only people. i love the friends i've made since being here. they're wonderful! and they prove to me what a small world we live in and how much people need each other. i haven't felt the least bit lonely or outcast since being here, and that's 100% fact, which is a little hard to believe but true. also, i feel so blessed to still have contact (and good contact) with the people from high school that i said at the end of high school that i'd planned on keeping forever. i feel like the changes we're all experiencing, we're still experiencing together, even though we're so far apart.
6. i really want to do everything. i really want to teach english, study theater, do costume design, do graphic design, fix grammar mistakes, study american history, study sociology, learn more french, do non-profit, advertise and knit for a living. i have yet to find a career that will allow me to do all these things. the search continues!
7. my mom is the best. she does everything for me. all those things that i thought i hated about her when i was in middle school and high school, now i can honestly see why she did them. i'm not thankful for anything more than i'm thankful for her. i wish there was a way i could help take care of her like she takes care of me.
8. i can't handle always being around people. right now the suite is pretty much empty and it's so nice and quiet outside, and i love it. i'm not saying that i want to become a hermit, because i don't- i'm actually pretty sure that the reason i wasn't depressed or lonely at the start is that i never had the opportunity to. having a roommate that you get along well with is like having someone spend the night every night. which is nice! but at the same time, without quiet time i can't function.
9. most "stuff" is lame and usually entirely unnecessary.
10. stress is lame and usually entirely unnecessary.
11. whatever will happen, will happen.
12. i love american apparel. i do.
13. it bothers me when relationships turn into dependencies, if that makes any sense. not sure how else to esplain that one.
14. creativity is so important to me. ingenuity! life! newness! i think it might be something that's fostered more by being alone, though. i'd like more time to fool around with the sewing machine and paper and pencils without my friends walking in. i have a lot of good ideas stored up for the summer, though, i think.
15. learning is so good. it's just so, so good. education is life. i think that may actually be a famous quote or part of one.
16. it would be nice to have easier access to the rest of the world. to take mass transit from malibu to los angeles is just not practical to do by myself, and there are not many people here who'd volunteer to 'splore like that with me. at the same time, this just makes me even more excited and thankful to have a car for this summer at home and to be able to use europe's trains and tubes to get all over the place. i'm really ready to be in a world where that's normal.
17. i don't know why we eat ramen noodles. i don't know if we actually like them or if we just all think it's something college students do.

entry the ninth
three things about me:
1. i'm still tan from last summer
2. i do my best to stay hydrated
3. my hands are usually cold, but i generate a lot of body heat, which makes me the ideal cuddle buddy.
three things about today:
1. i'm still sick, so i was still legitimized in not going to class
2. met up with jazz and had such a good conversation about everything in the universe
3. it sprinkled and now it smells delicious outside!
in other news: U2 is, in fact, not coming to pepperdine. so i enjoyed being april fooled from yesterday.
a quote:
The actions of a sincere person speak for themselves. But when there is a contradiction between words and deeds, the space between them needs to be filled with mountains of realizations. Therefore, those who are sincere speak few words. Those who speak loquaciously are not sincere.-- the tao te ching

entry the eighth
three things about me:
1. i'm excellent at tying bows
2. my last name is pretty sick
3. i'm big on celebrating birthdays? i'm running out of things to post in this part. i may have to make another amendment to this blogging process.
three things about today:
1. i am sick, so i finally have a ligitimate reason for not going to class
2. i started on a blanket for mrs. filar's baby
3. it was cold enough to wear my favorite jacket to convo tonight
4. U2 is coming to pepperdine? this is probably an april fool that i will later be humiliated by because i was so excited that i posted a myspace bulletin about it.
a quote:
It is enough to know simply there is a certain inscrutable will in God, and as to what, why, and how far it wills, that is something we have no right whatever to inquire into, hanker after, care about, or meddle with, but only to fear and adore.-- martin luther in the bondage of the will
this is what we're discussing in great books right now and to be honest it's such a tired argument. i feel like everyone just argues their church doctrine and no one is open to new things about the same God that we all have. i really do think that there is a certain part of God that no one will ever understand, and no matter how much we dogmatize this point, it's possibly the most wonderful part of God. i think what luther meant is that the will of God is higher than our own and higher than we can even begin to explain in human words. this is that part of God that makes everything work together for good- and if we aren't mean to be involved in that, then fine. and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. i think it's beautiful.

accrochant follement aux herbes des hallions
d'argent; ou le soleil, de la montagne fiere,
luit: c'est un petit val qui mousse de rayons.

my friend susan posted a bulletin on myspace about this new thing she's doing in which every day she journals: three things she likes about herself, three things she liked about her day, a quote she heard, a picture she took and a song for the day. and i decided to be a copycat, and now a blog is born. i'm hoping this will help me to stop being such a whiner.
three things about me:
1. i have good eyebrows
2. i can knit
3. i have small feet.
three things about my day:
1. i learned how to make buttonholes
2. i found something for niall on ebay
3. there was a streaker in the caf at lunch!
a quote:
how come i can't tell the difference between the free world and a living hell?
