Ever since I heard the song "Catch You" I've been a fan of Sophie Ellis Bextor. I feel that her new album is going to be a good dance floor stomper that'll be enjoyable by all. I am now beginning to realize that my form of speech is beginning to be "imperialized," if you catch my drift. Hm.
So yesterday I really enjoyed training for work. We got an idea of how to use all of the different machines in the store, including how to make all the different types of drinks and paninis. My goodness - everything tastes SO good I'm really excited about this concept store and I'm glad the drinks are delicious b/c it makes everything so much easier to sell when it tastes that good. There are also very cute looking people who work at the store. I won't acknowledge that they are though b/c I don't want to go down that road. But yeah, everywhere I go - hot people, it's getting ridiculous.
After that, I ended up going to the commencement ceremony by fluke, to see a friend of mine graduate. It's crazy b/c there are so many people that the way it's done is that this ceremony is optional, but it's still a big deal b/c it's on the main mall, there are fireworks, etc. etc, We couldn't find a seat so we didn't stay long, but still it gave a bit of confidence when I saw the people that were graduzating that I knew from the architecture school. It felt good to see them there.
After that we ended up going to my friend's frat party. It was very interesting b/c it was a multicultural frat (of mostly Indians) and it was suuuuuper awkward but I still got drunk so that's fine. In fact, I got pretty drunk. Not trashed, but I felt it for a good while after words. Enough to talk to this guy from my Italian conversation class that I think is hot. It was nice lol
Today I've been watching the French Open. I LOVE tennis. It's the one thing I wish I could've done with my life - I didn't really learn about the sport until I was 13, but nonetheless I'm still very passionate. Who I think will win is Nadal and Henin. Who I would like to win is Djokovic or Gasquet, and then Sharapova or Jankovic. We shall see.
Other than that I'm taking today off. I need to go talk to a friend that is having issues with her bf (they've been dating for over 2 years!) and though I know they were going to come to a crossroads when she decides where she wants to go med school, but that's still a year away.
For me it's bittersweet, I would like to date someone, but I don't want to hurt someone b/c I know I won't sacrifice my future for someone else. At least right now. Things like this always change.
P.S. - go check out Daniel Brands. He lost his match but his looks win the war.

Just one of my favorite songs, so I really wanted to post it.
Today was the very first day of class! This means the log is going to get much much MUCH more interesting. Yayyy. Today I began with VisComm III (8am!!), which I'm actually retaking b/c I had one too many absences. Either way, I was relieved to find that the class will actually be easier this time around, and that if I attend every single class then I am basically guaranteed an A. Also, having it contributes to my Design class, which I'll explain a bit. Later on in the day I had Italian Composition and Conversation. Currently I'm on the waitlist for the class, but I can say with 90% certainty that I'm going to get into the class, as I'm first on the waitlist of two people (the other person on the list was there as well). It was funny b/c she and I were fist pumping every time that someone's name was called and they were absent. My favorite thing about it though was that I understood everything she said! It was a big confidence booster after I had a lackluster summer in regards to my Italian language development. I think overall it's going to be an excellent class; hopefully I'm officially accepted in the next couple of days.
Design.
Design V began with a lottery, where each instructor gives an introduction to the work that will be done in the upcoming studio, including Interior Design though no one else can take their course. My professor this semester is Clay Shortall. Don't try googling him - I've already tried and have found little existence of an architectural presence online. Anyway, he currently works for Zaha Hadid (super well-know architect of our generation b/c of her flowy looking buildings of which I question the validity of) as the only remote worker in the entire firm, specializing in digital work and fabrication. It's going to be an excellent year, not only because of the work I'm doing in the realm of technology this semester, but also b/c of the design program we are given. Essentially, we are doing work concerning a velodrome. For those of you unaware with the sport of track cycling, velodromes are arenas that are specifically designed to optimize the speed at which the bikes travel on the track and reduce the amount of centrifugal forces occur on the bike, not to mention the work done to maximize the necessity of perpendicularity concerning the cycle in regards to the track. I'll write more tomorrow; currently, I'm three sheets to the wind as it is officially my roommate's birthday! Nevertheless, this will be quite an interesting semester. Because if this ain't love, why does it feel so good?
---Apparently I had finished this last night...----
It seems this semester especially everyone is buckling down and focusing on school, which of course remains to be seen, but it helps that my friends are in the same position as me so that I don't feel guilty about ignoring them to do work. I've actually felt that way very often: I used to schedule time in for my friends every week and no matter what I was doing I would hold my appointments. This year I can't do that; I need to focus on my many other obligations: arch school, part-time job, organizations, student government, etc.
For now I'm just here doing laundry, cleaning up and preparing for what will have to be my greatest year on record. There's a part of me that's afraid of putting down so much on the year and taking the risk, but if I don't take it now it's not going to happen later and I know I have the abilities to do it. I'm not going to give up on my love.
-Design your day ^^
p.s. - Once I get financial aid in and buy my camera there will be tons of photos on this blog - excited!
