| ok, so xanga is telling me to update or lose my name because, apparently, they are running out of names and mine may just get snatched up by some new user. Really? So someone is going to choose the words "empty" and "profundity", then mispell "profundity" so that it comes out as "profoundity", and then cram them together into one spaceless word? Hmm...I feel bad for that person. Alright, updates: 1) Living in San Diego still, currently in Clairemont Mesa and soon to be elsewhere when my lease is up and I decide where to live. 2) Working as an Accountant for multiple shady internet companies (granted, they're all for the same bosses, but now i can say i've worked for like 5 companies at once; talk about multi-tasking) 3) I don't use this anymore, but I feel bad trashing something I've worked so little on but used to stall so often. 4) I plan on moving out of state to some random location because I'm curious. 5) Cya. | | |

| Ok, so in the last entry, I forgot to mention my explorations thus far this quarter.
A couple weekends ago was Julian, which, by the way, had SNOW!!! We drove there and decided to go up and down the main street of Julian. This consisted of about 10-15 souvenir shops, 5-6 restaurants, and a couple randoms. Unfortunately, it was the 3-day weekend Monday, so most were either closed or extremely crowded.
We ended up wandering the street about 4 times before deciding on calzone, and then from their we went to a graveyard...cuz when I think exploration, I think of graveyards... :-/ . Definitely couldn't figure out how some of the people actually fit there, and it wasn't that they were cremated...that woulda been the easy definition. I think they're just buried a couple feet above or below each other is some way that probably involved some planning lol. After this we went to the Gold Mine, which, as it turns out is not a gold mine so much as a museum. Unfortunately, it too was closed, so we ended up going around a "no trespassing" sign...in a semi-legal way...and through a path. Granted, the path was shady and we didn't want to get caught, so we left without getting anywhere except to some more snow.
When we got back from Julian, we stopped by the Pyramid . This pyramid is actually a design center/furniture store, but jeez does it look climbable. It's been one of my goals since first year to climb that stupid thing, and for the first time worked out a method of actually doing it. Granted it was too early in the night to actually do so, so I just have been working on the plan since. Muahahahaha...now I just need a group to help me...
This last weekend was Camarillo to visit a friend. We ended up driving there (granted I found out I would be driving said 164 miles about 30 minutes beforehand, and had woken up about 20 before that). Unfortunately, directions are confusing...especially tired directions driving. On mapquest it stated that the 5 turns into the 101...DEFinitely not true. Ah well, we figured that out, so we got onto the 101...only to stop paying attention to the signs. Hehe...apparently the 101 actually goes back to the 5; a fact I didn't realize. Soooo, we ended up on the grapevine by Pyramid Lake (we only figured this out because I remembered the stupid area from my trips to norcal).
Hooray for U-turns and off-ramps. So we turned around and ended up in the correct location...2-3 hours later than expected due to the rain and darkness (we drove off the road once). There was a really good Thai food place there, and the guy's family was really nice, allowing us to stay overnight and even providing us with pancakes with walnuts before we left. There was even this fun drawing/sentence game that came out with hilarious results.
So, that's the explorations of the quarter. Not as much as I'd like, but a lot more than last quarter. Ah well, now I just need to find someone willing to go into the Warren canyon again (gotta go in the morning so that we don't have to leave as early as last time); gotta reconvince another friend to sneak into the Preschool Playground off Library Walk; have to remind UCSD maintenance that they still owe me a Tunnels tour for me and about 10 other people (hehe ok, so really about 5, but since they took so long I'm opening it to some others); and finally have to climb the Pyramid! Anyone care to help me with these plans .
Wow...two updates within 24 hours...I must be bored.

| Ah xanga, my rarely used friend.
It's now Winter Quarter, and it's one of the best ones ever. I'm in 4-ish classes: the challenging Math 100B of Algebra; the ridiculously entertaining Lit 110B of Folk and Fairy Tales; and the job-like Math 95 & EDS 39 of Secondary Math Teaching Intro. The story class has a professor that doesn't believe in midterms or finals, instead relying on us telling a story (full credit with any attempt). The Math Teaching one is giving me a $600 stipend for finishing the class (and 20 hours of class observation over 6 weeks).
On a side note, I'd like to comment that I hate point systems, especially new ones. Especially when they don't take into account people whose lives can't/don't revolve around them.
Finally, I just found out that I was never actually ON housing
probation...apparently I was told that, but then I guess the Assistant
Dean forgot to put me on it? no idea, but remarkably entertaining. | | |
