Homesick

This might just be the very first day I’m starting to feel homesick.

I’ve been talking to old friends lately and this past weekend could be considered the high point, in the sense that it was the one time when I felt like I talked to a lot of people all at once. It probably also has to do with the weather and how every Sunday here at UCLA seems to be so incredibly beautiful, a lot like how my weekends were back at home.

But, you know, it’s not like I’m even far from home. If I wanted to, I could just take a short drive back to Glendale; however, I don’t think this has anything to do with the distance. I don’t really want to go home as much as I want to go back to Glendale and live a more-free life with my old buddies.

You know how it is, back in the days of being a child in your hometown spending time with your friends. Things were so less complicated back then (well, except for having to gain parental permission), but you know those were the good times. Well, of course I’m having great times here at school too but I feel like this is a crossroad in my life. I’ve got to figure out many things and quickly otherwise I’m going to be left in the dust. Of course, I could just be feeling very confused and it doesn’t help that I feel like I’m stalled while I watch other people around me starting to get to where they want to be. Growing up sucks.

Everyday Efficiency

I just positively hate that feeling of waking up late. I woke up this morning at 11 am, which is pretty much the latest I’ve woken up in a very, very long time. See, the thing about me is that being a future engineer makes me want to find the most efficient way to do something like completing a task, or in this case, getting the most out of my days. Getting up at 11 am and sleeping at my usual 1 am to 2 am bedtime means I will only be getting about 14-15 hours of daytime/night-time instead of the usual 16-18 hours that I absolutely love getting. Though I must admit that those long days sort of lead to these inefficient days.

That’s all I really wanted to say, or at least what I wanted to write here. I hope everyone has a happy November 1st!

Stupid Mistakes

I think the worst part about thinking about midterms after you’ve taken them is when you talk to someone else who took the same midterm and ask them about a problem, only to find out you made like the dumbest mistake in the world and now there’s no going back. Truly an “fml” moment.

But then again, you sort of just brush off the embarrassment and you realize a big weight has been lifted off of your shoulders. It’s really tough when you only have one midterm for a class (like how it is for most upper div classes), but I suppose I must adapt to the situation.

Not much to say except for the fact that I’ve been feeling free as a bird since this afternoon; just in time too! It’s Halloween!!!
