i am tired.
why are kids so loud? and why are hallways so echo-y? the combination of the two really sucks, especially when you're trying to nap in your office.
let's see... i've been busy working on grad school applications (fucking tedious and i'm sick of the whole process to tell you the truth) and on the ADRC project at work (Alzheimer's Disease Research Center). and then to top it off, i've been sick since the beginning of february.
going back to the ADRC project: one good thing about it is that i get to spend my days working at UCLA instead of the VA. i have an office (well it's really the professor's office, but he only comes in once a week) with a big window, which overlooks out into a semi-busy turnaround. there's also a UCLA vanpool hub there too.
i am tired.
so far i've been rejected by UCLA and CSUN. i kinda expected it. the program i applied to at UCLA only admits 13 a year. then for CSUN, i just plain didn't care and didn't bother taking the master program writing test. anyway, my friend, julia, said that she didn't really like bureaucracy at that school. so now i'm down to USC and CSULB. my second and third choices. i have an interview with CSULB next wednesday. i'm too tired right now to be nervous. to make matter worse, i missed the deadline for student loans. if i get into SC, i'm not sure how i'm going to pay for it. *sigh*
deidra and i had a very nice valentine's day weekend. friday night, i took her to maggiano's for a romantic dinner. saturday mid-morning, we left for san diego to go to seaworld. i wasn't expecting much out of it, but i actually liked it. it's a nice place to relax and see the fishies. since i'm wasn't too familiar with SD and we were pretty tired from all the walking, we kept VD low key and went to coco's for dinner. (see, that's why i took her to maggiano's friday night) anyway, sunday we went back to seaworld (got the fun pass) to go see several of the exhibits/shows we missed the day earlier. so all in all, it was a great weekend.
apparently, there's a new morrissey album coming out in may. am i excited? it's hard to say. i want to say yes, but then i feel sort of "blah" about the whole thing. i'm also debating whether or not to go to croachella, sunday only, to catch belle and sebastian and the cure. is it worth the shitload of money to go see them and a number of other bands? i hate having to debate like this. and not so much the money issue, but do i want to drive down to croachella and be in the sun all day with a bunch of dirty people? not a very tempting thought.
i can't help it, but i really like women's sweatpants that have words written on them. "JUICY," comes to mind. what a great place to put words so we can stare at women's asses some more. fantastic.
i am still tired.
ten more minutes until the start of the first march madness game. #12 manhattan vs. #5 florida (upset special in the making). am i excited about the tournament even though UCLA is not in the group of 64? hard to say since they dissed me royally for graduate school. *** some guy just passed by my window wearing a tan blazer with a pair of white shorts (i'm hesitant to say that it's a pair of boxers) and socks with dress shoes. now that's just weird. *** i have stanford going all the way, it's a tough year to fill in the brackets.
one good thing about working at UCLA is the accessibility of things. like right now i want to go get a cup of coffee, so in a couple of minutes, i'm going to go down to the coffee bean and get myself a latte with a blueberry muffin. breakfast of champions.
now listening to: the postal service.
