Seems like I’ve become addicted to traveling abroad, but I feel that I should capitalize on my ability to do so while I still have the chance in college. My life will be consumed by my career in the next few years so I’ll have to enjoy the time I have left…sigh. How moderately cynical.

Here are my early tentative summer plans:

Today was a nippy, sunny day.

In comparison to my weekend, I accomplished almost nothing academic. However, when I was frisbizing with my mates on the HUB lawn, a hippie man approached and started giving us lessons in frisbee throwing techniques. Suffice it to say, I have learned how to throw one like a tomahawk. In addition, I’ve been working on perfecting the underhand and, furthermore, learned to step out with my dominant foot when throwing. The whole process of becoming an ultimate frisbee champion is coming along smoothly, more than ever before. That’s worth celebrating at the very least. Afterward, this hippie character told us he had to go off into the woods because it was 4:20. He offered us a chance to join him and enter his magical realm above the clouds. Regretfully, we declined, although the mere invitation was flattering enough.

Definitely – this was the highlight of my day.

It’s marketing crunch time. This is what my team needs to provide by next week:

Items for the Marketing Team //
* SWOT Analysis
* List of Potential Wholesale Clients
* List of Potential Retail Clients
* List of Potential Loans/Financing Options
* Interview Notes, Minutes, E-mails

Items for the Financial Team //
* Estimated Costs for Continuing Retail
* Estimated Costs for Creating Wholesale
* Cost-Benefit Analysis for Both Distribution Styles
* Breakdown of What Sales Volume is Needed to Break-even & Sales Forecast
* All of Rozana Cuizine’s financial statements as well as projected statements

In addition to this, an external marketing plan and a catalog of milestones and goal periods for the implementation stages of her business.

I can’t believe what I got myself into with this project. This is so overwhelming, I can’t stand it. ~ Been working on it all night thus far, and I have a headache from it already. I’ll be focusing on this all weekend, but I’m actually willing to sacrifice it in hopes of gaining a feeling of accomplishment afterward.

But here’s something to look forward to: PASSION COMES TO SEATTLE > MARCH 1!!!
I’m definitely going to go out of my way to see that show. I can’t wait…
I just hope I didn’t jinx myself with all the anticipation.

President’s Day Weekend:
Long and academically unproductive. On Friday, I went to the dragshow to show support for the student commissions. I really hope I won’t have to do this next year if I become the ASC Director…haha.

Potentially the next Pacific Islander Commission Director

Saturday was the JSA Matsuri, and I have to admit that I was surprisingly impressed. The ambiance turned out well as well as the fashion show, although not exactly what I was expecting. This picture really doesn’t do the festival justice, but it shows that the indoor tents and streaming lamps were my idea. Hehehehe.

The room was actually a lot darker and moodier

This pic’s for Lucy: I still wear these pink boxers haha!

Overall it was a fun weekend, but I feel really guilty about having too much fun and not concentrating enough on school. I’m going to get my econ midterm back tomorrow, and I’m pretty sure that I bombed it considering I drew a dinosaur as one of the answers.

Another long and tiring week is ahead. I’d better go to sleep. G’nite

It’s beginning to get a little warmer now,
and plums are blooming on the Ave.
I can see tiny buds on the tree outside my window.
Spring is near, finally at long last.

Phone background update:
For Valentines Day it has red lighting and flowers.
In the background, little bubble-heart things keep poppping up.

Really… this is a little bit too much. Haha

I’m looking at old pictures taken in the spring of my freshman year.
MAN I long for the sunshine. I wanna go outside without having to layer up beforehand.

I had a dream about Battlestar Galactica last night, and it has reinstated my angst for the season premiere on April 4th. Attention: a nerdy entry will soon follow.

I saw Lee Adama and Kara Thrace among normal surroundings, in a type of Neapolitan apartment in New York or some other densely populated city. I assume it was either Earth or Caprica, who knows. But everyone had looked changed and older. At first I thought that I had glimpsed the final outcome of the series, but then each of these characters kept looking in the mirror, unfulfilled with themselves. Lee in particular stared at his reflection in the mirror and gave a dramatic soliloquy on how the world is not what it appears and how he remembered a life far different than the one he was living. This brought me to parallel this dream with an episode of ‘Lost’ where Desmond remembers events from the future while he is reliving his past. If this were the case for Lee Adama in my dream, then that would have made the scenario all the more cooler.

The tone had dark yet vibrant colors, there was a high contrast that gave everything a surreal effect. Even the tribal-celtic music was featured in the background making the entire experience feel like a big commercial for Scifi, advertising that the world was so much more than it seemed. In the end, I woke up with a heightened yearning to watch the series again. Writer’s strike will soon end, it it hasn’t already. I am so hyped up about April 4th ~ this is truly the only show that I’m obsessed with this season.

I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you,
and be less than I was, just to prove I could walk beside you.
Now that I’ve flown away, I see you’ve chosen to stay behind me,
and still you curse the day that I decided to stay true to myself.

I just got an email saying that they’re electing a new VP of Membership for AKPsi.
And I guess looking back in retrospect, rushing was actually a pretty fun process.

Would I run for the position? HECK NO.
I’ve learned to start saying ‘No’ to offers that really aren’t fit for my palate.
I’ll probably be a pledge educator though. That sounds fun.
No more leadership positions for a while for me, thanks.
