A BeaconThrough the Smog
at last, i am not alone. although i wasted 2 precious hours at a review lecture for my biomedical ethics midterm which i took today, and which i could have been more effectively preparing for had i not attended the worst review session i've ever experienced, my lost hope of finding a significant number of people with humane hearts in this university was finally revived during the walk to class in the form of a demonstration being conducted on bruinwalk reminiscent of the peta style i'm so accostomed to hearing about. a person in a chicken suit, another in a cow outfit sitting inside a large dog cage, a table complete with video footage of the atrocities of factory farming, vegan baked goods, and pamphlets, fliers, and stickers galore, and energetic students handing out "YES! on prop 2" information - i could have easily mistaken this beauty for a mirage.
as class was soon about to begin, i made a mental note to speak to these people later on my way back to the dorms. i wish i had walked through the area while the activists were spray painting t-shirts with catchy graphics promoting prop 2, or while their game for a chance to win a shirt or vegan treats was ongoing, but i did catch them in time to ask what i can do to help, right before my hands were filled with a stack of fliers to distribute, a bumper sticker (it's on my tote since i don't have a car), and a bright yellow paper with a picture of those girls hugging ginormous squishy adorable pigs and the directive i needed to enliven my mundane college experience.
on thursday i attended my first meeting of my newfound love, the club Bruins for Animals. the chilly, slightly intimidating room decorated with nothing but a white board and 4 tables arranged to create one large meeting area quickly warmed up with the welcoming attitudes of club members, ranging from the administrative third years including kelleigh (a blonde white girl with far better cause to apply her intellect and compassion to than any other i have seen here), a semi-newcomer named payal who had only been to a couple meetings last year when not even 5 people showed up at a time, a phd student (the only male present haha), our community liaison zoe, other eager first-years like myself, and a mix of girls in-between sharing our love for animals and passion for improving their lives. surprisingly the ice-breaker at the beginning of the meeting did not strike me as a humiliating waste of time as most do, but instead gave me something to talk about that every one of us could relate to, specifically, our wacky pet names.
as the agenda progressed, we discussed reactions to and critiques or commendations of the event i witnessed the day before, and future events in the planning stage like a thanksgiving activity to communicate the dire plight of turkeys murdered by the masses during the holiday season, and upcoming movie screenings of films that appeal to the conscience and graphically document the reality behind human use of animals for entertainment, food, clothing, pets, and labor, as well as lighthearted cinema for any fan of animals. listening in wonder at the enthusiasm and creativity of my fellow BFA members, i felt confident that i had found some true angels in los angeles who would not mock my moral principles and who could help guide me in my personal mission of helping animals in a place where almost no one seems to care.
one of my "friends" from biomedical ethics, a taiwanese international student who attempts to talk and walk with me far too often for my comfort, blatanly responded to my polite request for him to take a few fliers to spread the word on prop 2, "in my home country no one really cares about animals. we have more important things to think about, like national security with china nearby. animals don't matter." suffice to say, i deleted him that day from my facebook friends and will no longer be granting him a casual uninterested smile nor will i be allowing him the privilege of my speaking to him as if i give a damn what he thinks.
barely grazing the better side of timing deadlines again, i reserved a club t-shirt at the end of the meeting on the last day orders were being taken. spending my measly college student funds on clothing with meaning more than makes up for restraining myself from purchasing another UCLA sweatshirt on sale in my size or a pink hollister sweater that would look fabulous on me but can probably be found on multitudes of other girls i'll walk past this winter season.
you may think i needlessly inundated a blog with superfluousnesses describing every aspect so far of this one change in my daily bleak outlook on bruin status, as opposed to a post detailing multiple newfound things to do in kari-style, but when i find something to fully appreciate about people in this school, i cannot take for granted any opportunity to indulge myself in it.
loving BFA,
Juli

Happy November (:
So last night was Halloween, & I hope everyone had a great time whether you went trick-or-treating, didn't do much, or did crazy things. (:
Here's an agenda of what I have to say about my... life? college life? (so you can skip to parts you want to read if you dont want to know about some things.)
1. classes/behind/ahead?
2. skipping unintended
3. halloween
4. winter/spring rush?
5. horrible stories.
6. stay/go home
7. randoms
1. sooo for academic life... i think i'm starting to go behind ahhhh; i cant let that happen. but i'll still have time to post here (: i think i'm behind in 2 of my classes but i'm catching b/c of a midterm... so in a sense, midterms arent that bad, they help you catch up? (even though they are the ones setting the deadline. ROFLOL) i also think it's weird.. how i dont have classes with people i know for a lot of the classes i have >< so it's like... besides chemistry, i dont have people to walk with to my other classes. also, for my computing arts class, we're playing a GAME as a project (: i found that pretttyy interesting & cool (: hahaha... thing is.. i dont think i have the time to play it!! xD LOL it's a game called Second Life. it's pretty interesting. you can fly :D only reason i dont like it is because it's like.... 3d... i hate 3d games.. because i'm not that complex in the mind, i guess. I like 2d games like maplestory. (:
2. skipping unintended. okay. so the first time i've ever skipped a class in my whole entire life. i skipped my computing arts class once (lecture). But i wouldnt have skipped it if i didnt have to! i only skipped it because i had a review session for chem midterms at the same time. ohh and by the way... i feel bad after looking at that midterm. practically the whole class failed. oh my. horrible indeed. but yeah. i still regret not skipping ONE class in high school. it'll be an experience i'll never get again. hmm well i did skip.. but like in college.. it was because i had something else to do (track?) does that count? lol
3. halloween. it's a long story. so at first i started halloween without any plans but school work... and more school work. this is how my day started out. i woke up at 8:30ish for my 9:00am class. it was math and there was a quiz. the night before i was going over the homework with victor in geisel library until like... 1am ish and we went over everything and pretty much solved everything except for one problem, problem 10. i was like.. okayy we must solve this because i have a feeling it would be on the test... then after many attempts... we were like..nah it's tooo hard to be on a test. after i got back to my dorm though, i felt like... i wont be accomplished until i solved it sooo i asked my roommate for help but she couldnt isolate the y's and x's either so then that gave me an idea.. IMPLICIT differentiation! (hahaha, i cant believe i didnt think of that earlier & sorry if you dont know what i'm talking about ><) anddd i solved it with out really thinking if it was right or wrong. i just left it at that and went to sleep.
okay so after a 30 minute lecture in my math class, the quiz was passed out and i looked at it. (by the way, these are 2 question quizzes;; two problems directly from the homework.) sooo the first one was easy and i easily finished that. THEN... i turned the page around and... Problem 10. OH MY GOOOODNESS. i was so happy i worked on it before i slept x) but yeah.. i hope i did the right thing before i slept and that was the answer (: lesson i learned here... extra time into studying and working does pay off. Also, if you dont get it right away, take a long walk or long break and go back to it. Or... simply ask for help.
Anyways, after my math class, i had political science discussion at 1o, so i headed off there and sat thru the discussion (reviewing for midterms). after that, i had an hour break. i dont even remember what i did in my dorm in that hour break because it went by soooooo fast. Because it takes me 15ish minutes to walk to my chem discussion, forty five minutes into my break, i left for my chemistry discussion, got there at 12 and sat thru it (it was pretty boring too!) i had another hour break until a review session for poli sci midterms came but the chem discussion location was so close to the polisci midterms location, i didnt want to walk 15 mins back to my dorm and later, walk 15 minutes back to that place. (half an hour gone like that!) so i just stayed near my chem discussion place which was when i was like... "What is there to do here in Thurgood Marshall College?" then.. DING! JUSTINE! so as i was walking towards justine's dorm, i called her and all of a sudden like magic, she appeared in front of me! (along with Mindy and Irene, her suitemate and roommate respectively) so i asked them where they were going and they were like.. i dont remember the room name so i just followed them. then that was when i decided i'd sit thru their lecture (which was an hour), perfect timing for me to go to my review session afterwards. what's even better was that... their DOC classes' lecture hall was going to be where my review session was :D so i basically stayed there for two hours (their doc class & my review session). YEAH so i went to a class i didnt even have! LOL (and learned (: it was interesting too)
after that review session, i had a group study session at 3 pm at clics (a library in revelle. the closest library from my dorm). however, only one member and i showed up for the group study because one couldnt be contacted and the other just couldnt make it. so i'm like.. okay it's pretty pointless since we all dont have our work... so we left. At first, we planned to work on the project until 5 but we left before 4. LOL me and my roommate were planning to go shopping at 5 but i guess we went instead at around 4:10 and met up with justine. (: just as we were walking to the bus stop, we realized we were in our 'costumes' (: my roommate was wearing green, justine pink, and me blue. WE WERE THE POWERPUFF GIRLS! ROFLOL oh my (; ahahaha sorry i forgot to take a picture >< but yeah we headed to the shopping center where ralphs/trader joe's was and shopped there a bit. my roommate had to leave then because she had to head back to go on a trip.
so it was me and justine now (: we ate at this deli place and then we were like.. it's only 6:30... what do we do nowwww? and the choices were that... we could either head back to campus or go to the mall. OF COURSE, we went to the mall! (: LOL we got there at roughly a little before 7 and shopped for about two hours (because 9 was when they close). i bought a tanktop from hollister, 2 shirts and a jacket from forever 21 (: justine didnt buy anything because she went on monday and spent a lot of money. xD when the clock struck 9, we headed to the line for the bus. OH MY GOODNESS. the bus was so scary because.. it didnt seem like a legit bus. we went on with like 3 other people and then another one of the same number bus came and took other people still standing in the line. but... i mean.. there couldnt be haunted busses that drive you to ur doom right? so i took the bus i was on with justine and 3 other ucsd students (because the bus driver was like... oh the other bus drives with all these stops but i drive straight to ucsd!). After he turned off the lights on the front of the bus, i got scared. he started driving and it was going fast because he wasnt making any stops. i soon began to wonder... shit. where's this taking me? why did i go on this bus?! OMGOMGOMG. but justine and 3 other girls were on the bus too so it cant be bad right? thankfully, we got back to ucsd and i thanked the bus driver (because i've never seen a public bus drive people straight towards where they needed to go).
When i got back i didnt want to walk back to revelle by myself so i went with justine and followed her to her dorm and saw her roommate and suitemate. We ended up talking and eating. We first went to OVT (the dining hall in marshall that doesnt close until 1am) because i was thirsty and wanted juice. I got a green tea. Oh yeah and this was where i happen to run into my family friend, sean. WOW. lol he does look a bit different and he had a girl next to him. i suppose it was his girlfriend from UCLA? o_O i dont know. but... *shruuuug* anyways i said hi, turned around, and turned back and he was gone. so ehh. oh then andrew called and asked if there were any parties were going on tonight. i said i didnt know any on campus. I knew there were some at SDSU though xD i got a mango green tea and went back to justine's dorm (: we then.. watched THE FOOD NETWORK :D LOL and during commercials, i would change the channel and watch this scary movie with justine and irene (justine fell asleep!! LOL) and it was sorta scary... bloody mary. ahahaha. yikes. but we kept switchingback and forth from food network to bloody mary. xD omgness. the shows finished and we were just talking.
soon after, victor called and asked if i wanted to go to price center. I'm like... okay.. so justine lent me a sweater :D theeenn justine and irene walked me to the pricecenter to meet up with them (as in... these four people named andrew, leandro, an, and victor// i'll just call them LAVA from now). it was funny because.. it was like... at 11? and the doors to the pricecenter was locked. I called and asked how do you open the doors?! and they were just like ... slide your id at the door! so i'm like.. okay! thanks! so i literally slid my id right between the doors.. (i thought it would open the lock) OMG. i felt sooo stupidd cuz when i walked to the other door, there was this slot for u to slide ur id card for the door to open!! OMGSHHH LOL so yeah we went in and then met up. Then, irene needed to go to the bathroom but the bathroom we saw was being cleaned and wont be usable for another while. Good thing... (or bad thing?) there was a co-ed bathroom (like.. just one toilet in a room kind?) but because we just watched a scary movie, she didnt want to go in by herself and she didnt want us to go in with her soooo she held it. xD LOL the lady took forever cleaning so they just went back to their dorm and i was now with LAVA. they were deciding where to go and finally, we went to warren, leandro & victor's suite.. where.. i was surprised because everyone was out partying. lol so they did some crazy things there and then from there we walked all the way to revelle (farthest college away?) to andrew's suite to meet up with more people (: . lol HAHA they did crazy things there too! Rockband xD card games. xD i'd love to post pictures.. but... LOL... i dont think i should go in detail, but it was all fun (: we got a complaint that we were too loud. (AND HOLY JIDFJSDLFD MY RA was on DUTYYYY OMGOMG that was so embarassing. ><) L and V (the people from warren) got too crazy to go back to warren so they just crashed in andrew's suite along with the other usual people who stay the night there. When they were going to pass out, i just left and talked to sean the whole night because i didnt feel sleepy anymore. (it was already pretty late into the night when we left) but at around 6:30am i went back to my dorm and slept. that concludes my halloween. honestly, it was one of the best ones ever because i hung out with so many people... AND SHOPPED UNTIL 9PM!!! (:
4. i'm planning to rush for a frat/sor. I am actually choosing between two. a social one.. and a professional one. hmm... i think i'm only picking frat over social because social ones... ahaha the stories. calling you at 1am when ur sick doesnt sound appealing. plus, after halloween, i realized i could have even more fun without joining (:
5. so i've heard horrible stories about sororities. hazing? lol. so the sorority made the pledges move ginormous boulder like rocks around to spell out their sorority's name and had a group of guys (probably from a frat) try to destroy the sign. thus, they had to keep rearranging the rocks. ouch. physical torture? next i heard a story where a girl was called at 1am the night before halloween to make a costume . MAKE A COSTUME. good thing she had a car. She had to make a pokemon costume and wear it the whole day and act out a skit in the middle of the school. wowwww. yeah that's basically all i remember of what people have told me about their roommates/suitemates/friends.
6. i actually love it here. i do want to go home though. i mean i'm not homesick... but i just want to share the experience. (: y'noe? lol so lucky that most of you have already gone home at least once. welps, just a few more weeks for mee! (:
7. randoms.. hmm.. i've been bonding with my text books. i've been reading so much.. i think i'll go crazy. lol i haaaate readinggg grrrrr. lol but i love college (: it's fun. cant wait for the november questions (; oh now i'm going to go get my clothes that i bought from justine's dorm and my camera that i left in andrew's suite. later ^-^
:D so please do tell me, how were your Halloweens? (: fantastic, i hope. :D

(: just as we were walking to the bus stop, we realized we were in our 'costumes' (: my roommate was wearing green, justine pink, and me blue. WE WERE THE POWERPUFF GIRLS! ROFLOL oh my (; ahahaha sorry i forgot to take a picture >< but yeah we headed to the shopping center where ralphs/trader joe's was and shopped there a bit. my roommate had to leave then because she had to head back to go on a trip.
so it was me and justine now (: we ate at this deli place and then we were like.. it's only 6:30... what do we do nowwww? and the choices were that... we could either head back to campus or go to the mall. OF COURSE, we went to the mall! (: LOL we got there at roughly a little before 7 and shopped for about two hours (because 9 was when they close). i bought a tanktop from hollister, 2 shirts and a jacket from forever 21 (: justine didnt buy anything because she went on monday and spent a lot of money. xD when the clock struck 9, we headed to the line for the bus. OH MY GOODNESS. the bus was so scary because.. it didnt seem like a legit bus. we went on with like 3 other people and then another one of the same number bus came and took other people still standing in the line. but... i mean.. there couldnt be haunted busses that drive you to ur doom right? so i took the bus i was on with justine and 3 other ucsd students (because the bus driver was like... oh the other bus drives with all these stops but i drive straight to ucsd!). After he turned off the lights on the front of the bus, i got scared. he started driving and it was going fast because he wasnt making any stops. i soon began to wonder... shit. where's this taking me? why did i go on this bus?! OMGOMGOMG. but justine and 3 other girls were on the bus too so it cant be bad right? thankfully, we got back to ucsd and i thanked the bus driver (because i've never seen a public bus drive people straight towards where they needed to go).
When i got back i didnt want to walk back to revelle by myself so i went with justine and followed her to her dorm and saw her roommate and suitemate. We ended up talking and eating. We first went to OVT (the dining hall in marshall that doesnt close until 1am) because i was thirsty and wanted juice. I got a green tea. Oh yeah and this was where i happen to run into my family friend, sean. WOW. lol he does look a bit different and he had a girl next to him. i suppose it was his girlfriend from UCLA? o_O i dont know. but... *shruuuug* anyways i said hi, turned around, and turned back and he was gone. so ehh. oh then andrew called and asked if there were any parties were going on tonight. i said i didnt know any on campus. I knew there were some at SDSU though xD i got a mango green tea and went back to justine's dorm (: we then.. watched THE FOOD NETWORK :D LOL and during commercials, i would change the channel and watch this scary movie with justine and irene (justine fell asleep!! LOL) and it was sorta scary... bloody mary. ahahaha. yikes. but we kept switchingback and forth from food network to bloody mary. xD omgness. the shows finished and we were just talking.
soon after, victor called and asked if i wanted to go to price center. I'm like... okay.. so justine lent me a sweater :D theeenn justine and irene walked me to the pricecenter to meet up with them (as in... these four people named andrew, leandro, an, and victor// i'll just call them LAVA from now). it was funny because.. it was like... at 11? and the doors to the pricecenter was locked. I called and asked how do you open the doors?! and they were just like ... slide your id at the door! so i'm like.. okay! thanks! so i literally slid my id right between the doors.. (i thought it would open the lock) OMG. i felt sooo stupidd cuz when i walked to the other door, there was this slot for u to slide ur id card for the door to open!! OMGSHHH LOL so yeah we went in and then met up. Then, irene needed to go to the bathroom but the bathroom we saw was being cleaned and wont be usable for another while. Good thing... (or bad thing?) there was a co-ed bathroom (like.. just one toilet in a room kind?) but because we just watched a scary movie, she didnt want to go in by herself and she didnt want us to go in with her soooo she held it. xD LOL the lady took forever cleaning so they just went back to their dorm and i was now with LAVA. they were deciding where to go and finally, we went to warren, leandro & victor's suite.. where.. i was surprised because everyone was out partying. lol so they did some crazy things there and then from there we walked all the way to revelle (farthest college away?) to andrew's suite to meet up with more people (: . lol HAHA they did crazy things there too! Rockband xD card games. xD i'd love to post pictures.. but... LOL... i dont think i should go in detail, but it was all fun (: we got a complaint that we were too loud. (AND HOLY JIDFJSDLFD MY RA was on DUTYYYY OMGOMG that was so embarassing. ><) L and V (the people from warren) got too crazy to go back to warren so they just crashed in andrew's suite along with the other usual people who stay the night there. When they were going to pass out, i just left and talked to sean the whole night because i didnt feel sleepy anymore. (it was already pretty late into the night when we left) but at around 6:30am i went back to my dorm and slept. that concludes my halloween. honestly, it was one of the best ones ever because i hung out with so many people... AND SHOPPED UNTIL 9PM!!! (:
4. i'm planning to rush for a frat/sor. I am actually choosing between two. a social one.. and a professional one. hmm... i think i'm only picking frat over social because social ones... ahaha the stories. calling you at 1am when ur sick doesnt sound appealing. plus, after halloween, i realized i could have even more fun without joining (:
5. so i've heard horrible stories about sororities. hazing? lol. so the sorority made the pledges move ginormous boulder like rocks around to spell out their sorority's name and had a group of guys (probably from a frat) try to destroy the sign. thus, they had to keep rearranging the rocks. ouch. physical torture? next i heard a story where a girl was called at 1am the night before halloween to make a costume . MAKE A COSTUME. good thing she had a car. She had to make a pokemon costume and wear it the whole day and act out a skit in the middle of the school. wowwww. yeah that's basically all i remember of what people have told me about their roommates/suitemates/friends.
6. i actually love it here. i do want to go home though. i mean i'm not homesick... but i just want to share the experience. (: y'noe? lol so lucky that most of you have already gone home at least once. welps, just a few more weeks for mee! (:
7. randoms.. hmm.. i've been bonding with my text books. i've been reading so much.. i think i'll go crazy. lol i haaaate readinggg grrrrr. lol but i love college (: it's fun. cant wait for the november questions (; oh now i'm going to go get my clothes that i bought from justine's dorm and my camera that i left in andrew's suite. later ^-^
:D so please do tell me, how were your Halloweens? (: fantastic, i hope. :D
