small praises

Today I realized something soo cool.

  • It was overcast but no rain on Monday, when I had to ride the light rail and walk to campus.
  • It POURED down so hard on Tues, when I had to stay in all day to work on assignments. (But the rain thankfully cleaned my car of the bird poo that I had just noticed and realized I didn't to wash off soon)
  • And today it's bright and sunny, when I had to return to campus (and thus, walk to/from the light rail station)
  • And Tomorrow, when I have class again, it's forecasted to be sunny as well!

Yay!! God is so merciful! In the midst of sucky projects and deadlines, He still lightens my burdens and gives me blessings. :)

DST woes

Though I'm not positive that these are all due to DST or maybe to the warmer weather, but the fact that they occurred all around the same time seems too coincidental!

  1. forgot to set time on my VCR --> didn't record TAR & 24
  2. legs were like rubber on Monday --> very hard to bike, so had to lighten my workout
  3. really tired despite ~8 hrs of sleep each night! --> getting really late starts to my days and not getting as much work done as I want/need/plan
  4. brain was mush on Wed --> ......but at least i didn't have to use it much at work yesterday :)
On the bright side, ultimate's back starting tonite! yay! can't wait. hopefully, my legs will be working again, and I'll remember how to throw a frisbee.

Work's been good. Mostly clerical stuff so far, but I'm starting a longer-term project that sounds interesting, so I can't wait!! But I'm discovering that even though I only work 2 days a week (5 hrs each day), I'm not gonna be able to get much done on those days cuz I've got to add 2 hrs for travel (no employee parking for student assistants!!! therefore, no guaranteed parking spaces...so, I'm not gonna get a parking pass...thus, I must ride light rail to work) and I'm not waking up before 10am (see #3 above). And I have yg right after work on Fridays. Which means that I'm gonna have to be extra productive on all the other days. *sigh* Which probably also means that my weekends will have to be productive as well, since school's picking up and I've got a bunch of projects and papers due from now till mid-May. I don't even think I'll be able to get much of a break during spring break, cuz I have 2 days of work and then leaving on Fri for a wedding in LA. Man! I can't WAIT for this semester to be over. Then I can look forward to 2 weeks of blissful break before summer session begins (yes, that's right, I'll be taking summer school for the one summer break I get in this Master's program *cry*).

Ok. Enough whining. Back to chugging along. :)

Gosh. I've been meaning to update, but just haven't gotten around to it.

So..latest news with me is that I got a part-time job at the King Library!!!! YAY!! :) I'm gonna be working on the information literacy program (to describe & instruct on library resources/usage) that's required for freshmen. So i won't be out in the reference desk or anything...but still...i'll be working in the library! i'll even have a pass that gives me access to..um...ok. just the office...but i'll have a key card! such power! hehe my first day's today (in just 10 hrs), so i'm a little nervous, cuz i think they have high expectations of me so i really hope i can deliver!!

In other news, happy birthday to me! :D *sigh* i'm getting old. But on the plus side, that also means I get to have lots of fun for like a week cuz of all the celebrations with friends & family. woo hoo! hee hee So I think it's gonna be really hard to concentrate on school for the next week. eek!
