greetings from college park!

basically i am stranded in college park for the night at yvette & erin's apartment because i came up here for dinner and i missed the last train out of the college park metro stop. the problem is i need to be back at my dorm by 7 a.m. to register which means i have to wake up at 5:30 (aka in 4 hours) and take either the umd shuttle or a wmata bus to a metro stop to get back to gwu. i'd register here at yvette & erin's apt. but yvette's computer is painfully slow and erin's keyboard is missing the 9 key which is fairly essential for entering in crn's. plus i don't remember what i'm taking since i decided to be a public policy major (yes, i'm serious this time) and i realized from that that i don't need economics because i took history instead (er, well, i got out of it b/c of ap exams) and my list of hopeful courses is on my computer which is at gwu. the scary thing is that i'm registering for my 4th to last real (aka not summer) semester of college, aleady, since i am indeed graduating in may 2010.

in spite of all this drama and commotion, i am more motivated than ever to live here over the summer. ventura county is a pitstain, and as joe goldman once so beautifully put it, it's the "kentucky of california". so let's just say this summer in maryland is going to be great. so let's just say i'm about 95% sure i'll be here over the summer...? (you can tell since i can type in the 9 who's computer i'm on at the moment) so i think i'm going with my original plan and will be in california from may 10 until around the 28th (since umd summer term starts june 2). i'm also hopefully going to be back for thanksgiving. and christmas, of course.

hey, with all the effort i put into applying for internships, it had BETTER pay off in me getting one. the good news is that i have 2 phone interviews tomorrow and an in-person one on thursday (i won't reveal the organizations' names, i don't want to jinx it for myself). i had a job interview last week for a retail management position but i'm skeptical that i got the position. if all else fails, i can always become a macy's bitch at p.g. plaza!!

i need to go to bed now if there's any chance of me waking up tomorrow to find my way back from the ocean state.

happy 21st birthday, yvette!!
