Thoughts

Ahh..plenty of thoughts on my mind. So yeah..I've been thinking. I'm trying and have in the past, be very open-minded and non judgemental of others. Especially in the circumstances I'm in now, I want to be able to have respect for everyone, even if they may not be my most favorite person. There is one person, and I've been having what I think is an internal struggle in accepting/tolerating him sometimes. There may be characteristics that irk me, such as being somewhat pretentious and full of himself, and disregarding any valid point I feel I may make in a debate. Then, the other day during the benefit relief concert, he did seem nice, and offered to pay my ticket because the stupid ATM was out of money. I mean seriously, ATM with no more money left in it? That thing should always be stocked at a certain level. Anyways, there are characteristics of this kid that not only I, but other people are a bit fed up on, even though they talk about it amongst themselves. I hate all that back talking.

Ahh! Enough of that. Sometimes, when I feel like I'm trying to be a good, genuine person in not talking of others, keeping an open mind, staying tactful and keeping my mouth shut of any trash talking, I feel like there's something building up inside of me. Ugh, I hate it and I want it to just go away. I guess this is what this baby is for.

There may have been some more things I might've wanted to get off of my chest, but I'm tires and it's getting somewhat late, so I'm going to go to bed after my post-midnight snack.

random entry

Most people in my grade are turning 20 this year. It's a bit wierd, because, I don't feel anywhere near the independence I should feel for someone of that age. I mean, I still have 6 months left of my last year as a teenager, so I'm good for now. I still feel like a little girl inside. Not to mention I probably look like a little girl as well several years my junior to some people, but that's besides the point. Is that the right terminology? Several years my junior? I think that's right.

In social psychology class we've been learning a number of things, like fundamental attribution theory, which is something that was right smack in my face most of the time in high school. >Insert angry emotican here< Life has been the usual, studying, classes, eating, shitting, showering, hanging out. How lovely does that sound, lol. No serioulsy, I've been trying to focus the majority of my energy to schoolwork lately. I don't have that firm of a grip as I really really want to, but I'm getting there. So, a dear lovely friend of mine and I don't want to go to a thing we were invited to because we need to study and it is a bit of a hassle/out of our way having to take the trip to get there or what not. What would be the most classiest way of getting out of it without making our drama-prone hostess have a fit with us?

Ehh..so it's almost 3 and I have a 10:20 tomorrow. Oh, another couldn't hurt, now could it?!

So...I want to be able to have more meaningful entries rather than the ones that reiterate what I did for the day. I mean, I guess it's not a bad thing. I don't know where to start.

I'm looking forward to this semester after I first step foot at the first APO meeting. There's this really warm feeling and positive aura. For some reason, my collegiate career (I think I can call it that?) will feel so much more complete if I did this, and I cannot wait. I wish every other aspect of my life felt like this. I guess perhaps a number of people yearn to be part of a family of some sort whether it be within your friends or whatever social/community group or organizations you're in. It's somewhat human nature to be gregarious and enjoy that tight familial feeling. It just feels better with connecting with others. I just don't want to be thinking this because I myself am probably yearning this. No..I think some of what I said has some truth.

Oiy! Ok, so after not feeling well the first couple of weeks of school, I'm happy to report that I've recuperated significantly. I went to the health center and the final verdict is that I'm not completely 100% fine from before I started school, but I have been feeling ALOT better nontheless. This reminds me, in health psych class, we were learning how health is correlated with other factors that are psychological, like placebo effect, self-efficacy, stress and a whole lot of other stuff. The whole health, body, mind, spirit connection was too true my sophomore year in high school. That was one of the hardest years of my life, and I wouldn't want anyone to walk in my shoes that year with all the Hell I endured then. It's so fascinating though, don't you think? Of how the one time I really showed symptons this week was when I was nervous right before Deep Treble audtions. Well, yeah, I guess maybe it's not such a big deal that nerves can trigger a bunch of things in your body involuntarily, but isn't it fascinating how our whole body's system is interconnected like that? There is someone who is thinking along the same lines as me somewhere in this world and is amazed at this too right? I remember my doctor saying one time of how the body is smarter than the mind, because if there is something not good for your body or you're not treating/taking care of your body the best it could, it'll reject what it takes in. Or something like that. Hmm..maybe I should focus on what I want to major in something in this direction.

Oh, and I miss dance. I don't think I want to to Rutgers Performing Dance Company b/c well, it's not the same atmoshpere as APO and I have alot of other obligations during night time with other things I have to do and go. Whatever.

Oiy, and it's time to clock in 5 hours of sleep tonight! I need to go to bed earlier.

: )

I am so rushing for Alpha Phi Omega. There's just this positive aura in the room and I look forward to each thing that I plan to go. There's not a negative in not joining. Perhaps not getting into the a capella groups did serve it's purpose for now? Ame = estatic

Ok, so..I know I should be going to bed for my 9:50 am music class on college ave, but 10 minutes before 2 am writing in my blog won't hurt anyone. Let's see, the infamous Grace-face visited, and it was muchos fun : D . Trip to NY, even though Lindsay and I separated from Grace, Amy and Bridgette. At the end of the night when I took the train and got off by myself at the New Brunswick train station, I couldn't get to the other side of the station so that I could walk down the path I'm familiar with to the Grease Trucks. Some emo looking freshmen kids were making some wierd banana documentary, and one of the kids sitting on the bench offered to run with me to the Grease Trucks through the back alley way since that was the only way how to get there on the side of the train station I was on. He had to run because his friends were waiting for a train in the next 7 minutes to go to the next town over just to eat. Apparantly, they were really bored. So anyways, we had this brief conversation panting out of breath on our way running to the train station. He lived in the McCormick high rise and I was like, oh, I was just there last night. Oh, and another funny thing, my friend Winnie who I took the train with home who got off at Edison said she was at Rutgers, sleeping over McCormick the night before us girls went to NY. C'est interessant, non? So yeah, the point of this story was that it just made my day that some random kid would run with me to the bus stop risking missing his train. It was nice. I hope he made his train.

Sometimes, I feel lonely around here. It's alright though, because this year, I feel like I'm meeting more people. I'm getting more involved.

10 minutes has passed. Even though Ame wants to write more..Ame however must force herself to sleep for the morning classes she stupidly scheduled for every day of the week. It's not such a bad thing though because my afternoons are free. Signing off.

So

So..I decided to give this baby an update. Classes in swing, school, going out, same same. One thing I do realized is that I find myself more alone nowadays this school year. Last year with the open door policy in our freshman dorms and there were people usually around often. This year, it's more quiet, which isn't a bad thing by any means, but it means that I can't run to a nearby neighbor or a friend living next door just to talk or ask about something. I don't even know who some of the people living down the hall from us are. Oh well, it's not such a big deal.

Today I studied a good chunk in the library, and then just bummed in the dorm when I got back. I'm lazy, but at the same time, I'm sort of not. So someone I knew from high school imed me, and it was great talking to him after a long time. Only thing is, I think he needs to see someone. I mean, well, you should just meet him yourself to see what I'm talking about. Very nice individual though.

Oh, and last night, Nik called me, and then Viet got on the phone telling me to go out at 1 AM in the morning. Pshh. Sometimes I claim of how "I have no friends" : ( . I guess I do but our timings are bad and some of them are nuts.

See how boring my life is? It's alright though, because this week is full and busy of practices and audtions. I might not go to some though, even though I listed them on my little calender planner. I just need to do something! With the classes I have and how I scheduled them, there is no excuse for me to be able to do awesome academically and balance some dance/music/something anything activity that I'd like and be passionate about!

I almost forgot today was September 11. I was going to go to the Candlelight Vigil thing they were having, but then I left the dorm right at 9:30 and they were already gathered there in a small ellipse, and I didn't want to bother them. So I just kind went back up. Gosh, this whole entry has just been about me and I feel a little bad. The one thing that I thought about was my former cross-country couch. There was some important meet on that day that year that he was amping up because it was a decently competitive team that we had a chance at beating. I remember him saying how he wanted this one to go to his twin brother who died that day. Then the whole September 11 deal happened, the same day of the anniversay of his twin brother's death, and the meet was obviously cancelled. I forget if we ever did beat that team, but that just crossed my mind.

I should go to bed because I stupidly scheduled morning classes on different campuses where I have to take 2 buses. Bleh. Oh, and I met a new person in my health psych class! I hope that doesn't sound loserish if that's a word. Maybe I just need to meet new people or something.

: (

I could cry a river

Damn Dorms!

Omg I'm going to kill someone! Kill someone! I hate these freaking old ass dorms from 1929 that lock me out! Freaking dysfunctional crap and locks and no air conditioning! Ugh! I got my lock jammed and was locked out until 2:30 AM for a whole freaking hour! Ugh!ksfsfkdsjkdfjgdfjgdfjgdfkjgdlkfgjkdfgkrtoreigkjgbjkfbfjhbfhkfjggfdgfdgjkdfjgkdfjgkdfjgfkdljgs;df

Ahh..but yes..allow me to recollect my day. So...I woke up and watched the Rocky Horror Picture Show this morning/noon. So random of a movie. Haha. After that, I had an urge to go see Deep Treble perform at the college fair....but by the time I got there, they were done. Oh well. However, I did get to got to the Rutgers College fair at College Ave, and I found a lot of stuff. The bad thing is that I signed up for absolutely everything, so I'll probably be getting junk mail and what not. The things I may want to join are Dance Performing Company, maybe a choir if I get in, Alpha Chi Omega, and perhaps that seeing Eye Dog Puppy Club. Oh and maybe a sport like Rugby or an intramural one. Not sure. So..about 2:30ish I left because I had to meet up with Priya. So when I left to get on an EE, the bus was somewhat full with people standing. The lady driver was such a bitch. I was the 5th and last person able to get on. There was a whole crowd of people and they couldn't get on. Felt bad for people waiting for over an hour. I saw Brienne! The buses these days have been horrible. I saw Nancy, JC, Jeremy, Chris and Sean walking. Apparantly they walked from College Ave to Douglass. Man. Get to my dorm, see Lindsay's friend Kim chillin there, talked for a bit, and then left to meet up with Priya. So nice to see Priya in such a long time! She was with roomie Chayne and Priya's other friend Amanda from Ruet. First it was the whole..oh..how is everything, summer, classes. Then it got quiet. Then Chayne had the idea of playing pool, but we didn't end up doing that and headed to the activities fair. It was alright. Saw the Mckormick crew who were attempting to mooch free stuff. Priya and Amanda had already left to Amanda's Newells apartments. Then headed over to busch, chilled, ate dinner. Had this whole talk of the legal ages of people having sex. Chilled then went back home soon with Chayne. Chayne is really cool. That was really the first time I really talked and hung out with her.

So when I was back at the dorm, I thought to myself, I don't want to be bored and alone. Who will I chill with? Called some people, then Viet called me and he was around Rutgers. After a while of figuring out how to get to my dorm, Jay and Viet came over. Then Jay's brother who I'm good friends with met up and they were all outside smoking. Chilled, then Nikhil who is Jay's brother came up with the other guys. Decided to go to a frat. Lambda..the Asian frat. Hot as anything inside there. Ran out of almost every drink AGAIN just like Sunday night. Oh, and of course, I can't get around Rutgers without officially meeting people who I've seen around my hometown in Edison. Saw Megan, that girl Tatiana, and met Jeff Ho. Then we bounced and I came back to my dorm around 1:30ish..and of course the stupid door lock gets jammed. I was having trouble trying to lock my door when I was leaving, and Nikhil helped screw in a lose screw. Had to paige the RA on duty, but I guess I was doing it wrong and didn't know how to paige. Went to my current RA. Lorraine and Kiwi were there, had opened the door and I told them what happened. Lorraine offered if worse comes to worse, I could've slept over her room because she has no roommate. That was cool of her and I really like her as a person. She's really smart and seems like a genuine person. I knew her from Shaping a Life last year. So finally Elaine came, made some calls. She wasn't too bad, because I've heard that she was stuckup from other people, probably from Grace or someone. Overnight housing workers or something came and fixed it. It was lose, which was something I noticed when I was tryng to leave and lock the door. Ugh, they finally got it and now I have to call for an extra screw. Now I am writing this for the .2 people who read this. So that was my day. Intriguing no?

sunday night shenanigans

Yes, it was kind of a weak party night for the people who was with us last night. So, I went over to McCormick with Lindsay yesterday. Ate dinner, watched the VMAs, and met Nancy's new freshman roomates. After some uncertainity of who was going to go out, Nancy, Chris, Seamer, Eugene and I headed out. We went to SAM's (Sigma Alpah Moo or something) and that sucked. People drinking and standing and beer pong that ended after awhile. They ran out of beer, hot as anything and we found it boring, so we headed outl Then from after that it was everyone except Chris and we walked and went to some place...uh..some house near a parking lot. Just waiting outside and it was like..whatever. I texted and called Melissa, and she said they heading to Lambda. Sometime before, Nancy ran into two friends of hers, Andrew and Aaron I think, and they were with us for most of the rest of the night. So we were heading over the Asian frat and those guys started talking to these girls we met out of nowhere. I'm like, what the hell. It was funny though. I just randomly met people that night that I had no idea where it came from. So, on our way to Huntington we passed another group of asian girls sitting in front of Au bon Pain, overheard us and said Lambda was boring cuz they were just there. The two guys just were there talking to them and we left them but we'd catch up with them later. Blah blah this is boring never made it to lambda. Afterwards we went into DKE for two seconds, but it was a long line for alchohal and we left because it was even hotter in there. I kind of liked DKE though. Eugene decided to go back home. Then met up with Andrew and Aaron and headed to their place at 17 Mine St. to just chill. Met some more people. Heard there's a party in Edison near the train station next weekend. Saw some Sin City. Headed to the bus which was pretty full, but then it headed to the Grease trucks and there were a whorde of people just on outside and in front of the bus. Oh my God, and the bus ride was packed after it was already full with drunk people up against each other and cheering stupid chants. Some girl took a picture of the whole crowd running to the bus..haha! Then we finally got home and I passed out on the Mckormick lounge couch. Ehh..yeah...kind of a sucky party night. We'll have better nights.

Aaaa

Aaa..how good it feels to be back!

I feel so much happier here. You know, broadening my horizons on many levels. It's great.

Edit: Ok, so now I'm updating here after taking a nap after doing greeting. Oh, and this must be more than a coincidence. My good friend Baneen from high school got into the same freshman dorm room Grace and I had! That is so cool! It must be a sign. I think this will give Grace an excuse to visit our old room or something. But really, that's a bit wierd..you know?

Anyways, I've been thinking some things lately. I really did not get a chance to hang out with some, actually most of my friends.

Edit #2: Ok, I have a very short attention span on this thing. I didn't get to finish that last thought and I was going to continue it later, but whatever. So..since I can't take Dance Appreciation because I guess it's for Mason Gross people, I was looking for other opportunities to dance around Rutgers. That's strange though with Dance Appreciation because in the Douglass yellow book it says it fulfills a humanities requirement. So there's these non credit dance classes, Rutgers Dance Company, Ballroom Dance Team which I don't really want to do and Modern Dance 2 which is a 2 credit course. I found there's a non-credit break dancing class! Whoa!

Some of them don't fit in with my schedule and wow this probably sounds really boring but I don't have anything else better to write about on the top of my head because I am slightly bored now.

Head Automatica is great!

Ok there was no central focus and point to this post. I just wrote this in a couple of attempts when I had nothing else better to do online.

WTF?

Is it just me..or does it seem apathy has swept over teenagers? I think may be more of a buzz going around campus if you're there taking summer classes, and considering there are people occupied with various other activities at other places during their summer that they may not be as aware. According to local news, the process of restructuring Rutgers University elimates all the separate colleges and ties them all under one umbrella. That would mean my college, Douglass college, will cease to exist and the only remnants of our campus that would seem to stay the same are the all female dorms. It's all over the prominent Jersey newspapers, but why do I feel like no one seems to care? Or perhaps it's simply me? Just two days ago, the Douglass alumnae launched a website in their campaign to save the college. If Rutgers does decide to go ahead and merge, the uniqueness (if that's a word?) of our smaller community within a greater community will be extinct. The alumnae sponsorhip who have donated time, commitment, and money to this school will not be able to do so in the same fashion as they have in the past under this new infrastructure. If plans for this re-organization does prove successful, it states that students will be called to unite the student governments of Livingston, Cook, Rutgers and Douglass, or to remain separate. Wouldn't the combination of these institutions and our self-governing systems create even more of an anonymity in an already colossal system that bases students' identity by a faceless social security number? Isn't the beauty of having these seperate entities to form a tighter community, academic environment, and social/professional network in this already gargantuan of a university that a foreigner could easily get lost in while driving around this area? Especially under the current drawn out Route 18 construction that is never ending. In addition to a student's quote, it also develops a sense of pride for someone's own campus. They claim the science and math programs to support women in this underrepresented field that was specially designated for this school wouldn't be affected. But still, what would happen to some of the programs that are designed for giving opportunities to the female population under this college? I just feel if the bullshit Rutgers bureacracy is triumphant in this ordeal, this little college, where I feel is almost like a small, personal homely college with it's delicate scenery and the friendships I've founded here will be gone forever. Ok, so maybe the delicate scenery and friendships will still be in existence, but...that atmoshphere of a small school where if you didn't know it was under a big name like Rutgers you probably wouldn't have known, and just thought it was another run of the mill small college in Anywhere, USA.

Despite maybe some run-on sentences and discrepancies in grammer in my blog, here are some of the links in the media that discuss in more detail of the current situation..if anyone freaking reads this damn blog or gives a rat's a s s. Oh yeah, and tuition was hiked 8% in several higher education state institutions in NJ, Rutgers included. That's a whole other blog where I can go off on a tangent and vent.

NJ.com/The Star-Ledger
The Home News Tribune
www.savedouglasscollege.org

P.S The Home News Tribune has several articles related to recent occurances in Rutgers. Just poke around and you'll find all of them. Or better yet, go the Rutgers University section on the side menu, and you'll find it all.

In addition, Cook College will not be affected becuase of it's science/environmental focus. There's also no mention of what would happen to Mason Gross. Would they be under the the Rutgers heading or would they form themselves to be their own academic enitity, separate from Rutgers?

To be continued

So, due to a surge in curiousity in podcasting, I found this random women's blog thoughts here . Then I found an i p o d tutorial ! I haven't realized that podcasting has been available since last year. Then again, I'm always the last to hear of such things. It's going to on my list of things to do when I get back to school, well..other than studying, attending classes and being involved in school and community-related activities of course. If anyone out there reads this and can translate m u s i c technology jargon to a computer/math illiterate simple-minded psych major, please feel free to help a soul out.

I shall update more later with a more mainstream alternative rock playlist! However, human urges to consume food calls, so I will elaborate on this later.

I'm back with a vengeance bithces. Here is what I've been listening to lately:
Electrelane: "If Not Now, When?"/Axes
Wilco: "War on War"/Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The Features: "The Beginning(Week One)"/ The Beginning : )
Head Automatica: "Beating Heart Baby"/Decadence
The Beta Band: "The Eclipse"/Hot Shots II
Shonen Knife: "Redd Kross"/The Birds And The B-Sides
Garbage: "Bleed Like Me"/ Bleed Like Me
Armor For Sleep: "Car Underwater"/What To Do When You're Dead
Modest Mouse: "Ocean Breathes Salty"/Good News For People Who Love Bad News
Nine Inch Nails: "Hand That Feeds You"/With Teeth

Little bit more mainstream this time. Sorry if I lack exceptional writing skills like many other bloggers I have seen on the particular site. So far, Seton Hall's WSOU Pirate Radio is by far the best college radio station our local area has to offer with eclectic forms of rock. Rutger's 90.3 FM The Core is the better radio station out of the two that Rutgers has to offer. Going back to Seton Hall, their Thursday night programming of Under The Stars will make your life more complete if you have a penchant for this kind of m u s i c. Outside the college radio realm, I feel that G 106.3 tickles my fancy and satisfies my thirst for modern and alternative rock hits.

So this is how I spend my summer days. Exciting, is it not?

Bands

Alright..so I presume this blogging thing will be an ongoing thing. Since my life lacks fascinating details, I shall discuss all that is good right now, which would be bands. I appreciate the Katelyn Hughes introducing me to Sufjan Stevens. Lately, I've been listening to the likes of Hot Hot Heat, Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy's "Grand Theft Autumn", Straylight Run, Dashboard as well some others. I just wish I could have great access to some of the more obscure bands. I've heard Fugazi's "Waiting Room" and have seen Reggie and the Full Effect's latest joint on Fuse. I also have a proclivity towards Head Automatica's "The Beating of Your Heart". I have been so deprived in the musical realm due to dial-up internet and lack of DC++. Le sigh. I desperately need reccomendations. I like Wakefield's "C'mon Baby" and the effervescent new Relient K tune. Basically, the playlist of what has come across my ears are:
The Police-Roxanne
Queen-Bohemian Rhapsody
Something Corporate: Konstantine
Green Day: When September Ends
Foo Fighters: Best of Me
Hot Hot Heat: Middle of Nowhere
Weezer: Gone Fishin'
Beck: E-pro
Violent Femmes: Kiss Off
Velvet Revolver: Dirty Little Thing
The Shins: New Slang

Ugh..I have just discovered that Joy will be unable to enjoy my company due to work obligations tomorrow. So much for attempting to be social. : ( And plans with Liz went null. Life is so sad when the only form of discussion I can put on my blog are bands because I have nothing to learn during my day to put into philosophical translation:(

Edit: more bands I recently discovered through Windows Media Player internet Library!!!
July 8, 2005
Love as Laughter: “Pulsar Radio”/Laughter’s Fifth J
Dios: “You’ll Get Yours”/Los Arboles
The Album Leaf: “The MP”/One Day I’ll Be On Time
Deathray Davies: “Clock in Now”/The Kick and The Snare
Smog: “37 Pushups”/Rock Stars Kill J

summer is boring

Ok, so as I look to peruse the internet of interesting and thought-provoking reading material, I find myself feeling so vapid and worthless as to what some of these freaking college scholars write. I mean, ugh. So smart, so in-depth, so not me. A simple attempt to cure summer boredom ultimately questions my own intellectual capabilities and lowers my self esteem. The things that some of these people write. Ahh..I wish I could write and think like that.

So...summer has been very dum-de-dum and essentially BORING. I am already the proud owner of 2 xangas, a livejournal, and now this. I think I'm doing this to occupy myself for the time being until the constant hustle and bustle of college comes back into play next semester. This week I've been keeping busy somewhat. Cleaning my room every other day since clutter and mess magically re-appear in between that one day interval. Oh, this Tuesday I played pool and went to the mall with Nikhil, so that killed some time and encouraged some social interaction on my part. The game of pool. Now if only I could find some more colleages intrigued enough to partake in a friendy game with me.

Wow, I think I sound like such a pessimistic, but I think it's only because of my current mood and monotous surroundings.
