Radiohead - Videotape (live at Bonnaroo) |
] |
Yeah, so I'm done with college. I dare you to ask me what I'm doing now. I've memorized the script.
Being at home with my family is already driving me crazy. It's been two days. I suppose that normally when I'm home I'm usually with a certain someone.
Instead, i was dragged all over Ralph's with my mom for a couple hours and drank a way-too-sweet vanilla latte from coffee bean. oh LA.
Would have been four years two days from now. Ugh.
Yeah, just ask me about it instead of dancing around the subject.
I see random people all over the place when i come home. And many pleasurable non-randoms. Saw camden and jessie for the first time in 1.5 years yesterday. It's always like nothing's changed, and I love it. Same with Georgia.
Really glad I'm going back to Berkeley for a few days before coming back here for another week. I could never, never, never live here again.

Things are good.
One final left, and I'm done with college. Tomorrow I'll be attending my last class as a Berkeley student. I'm ready for it.
Why is college just one long transitional period?

The last few days my back had been feeling better, so 2 days ago I went to the gym. It felt great. I worked out for about 45 mins-hour, just doing the elliptical and lifting some light weights. Then yesterday, I decide to do the same thing. About 10 minutes in my back started hurting, so I stopped and walked home. After about 10 minutes of being home on the couch, I was in such pain i couldn't get back up. I spent about an hour crying trying to find a position where I wasn't in excruciating pain, and finally after an unheard of amount of painkillers, I was able to doze off.
I wasn't even able to sit up for at least 3 hours. Sean came home from work and made me dinner, which i had to eat lying on my back.
I'm so frustrated right now. I don't deserve this. I've spent all of my life eathing healthy, exercising, and in great shape. I let myself go for a semester, and I'm a complete mess. As an athlete, I can think of nothing more frustrating than being stranded on the couch for the next few days. I'm so upset, and I feel 95 years old and pathetic. Sean had to scoot me over to the bathroom so I could fucking pee. Fuck. this. shit.

I'm back in Berkeley! I have a 3-bedroom house to myself, 2 lab interviews today, i start work tomorrow at 6am, the painkillers are making my back feel normal for the first time in 3 months, summer school in 10 days, I'm back to the daily routine and loving it.
What do you guys say, when Bri gets back next weekend, I cook a yummy dinner for all you wonderful people in Berkeley, we watch Arrested Development, and have a girly sleepover to catch up. I miss you all!

Thom Yorke - And it Rained All Night |

Esthér is bringing up my suitcase today. I e-mailed many lab directors this morning to try and get a job as a research assistant, and I had trouble forming sentences in English. I´m sure I sounded like I wasn’t a native English speaker. I´m on my 21st page of final paper writing in Spanish – describing paintings in your non-native language is difficult. In four days I´ll be in France for the fourth time in the last four months, and second time with Georgia. Bri was here a little over a week ago, and I almost cried when she left. No one except me “knows where I´m at” right now. Sort of alone, friends but not friends. A hipster thing to say right now, but I feel quite misunderstood, or at least un-understood. Going to be in Portugal on my own for four days, and I don´t care what anyone thinks about “people who travel by themselves”, but I can´t fucking wait to be by myself for 6 days. 2 finals, 5 pages left. 16 days.

me queda un mes en madrid. one month. i've been in europe for 3.5 months. it feels like less, but sometimes it feels like more. the weather is finally nice, which ups my spirits and enthusiasm for spain just in time for me to leave! i had a great weekend here in madrid. i actually spoke a lot of spanish (though with romanian people), and got mistaken for being spanish a couple times (thank you european/short haircut, to which i am still accustoming myself). i know, i've been terrible about keeping my blog. sorry guys...look at my facebook pictures? i guess i've had barely any time to actually reflect on this trip and on myself, which is usually why i would update a blog anyway. i get bored recounting my trips step-by-step in a journal. so i apologize.
how do i feel about going home? excited! i saw hayley last night, and she's going home tomorrow. yes, i'm actually envious. i want to come home. but at the same time, when i spend weekends like this one in madrid, it pains me to think i only have 2 in madrid left, with so much stuff left to see and do. but i have too much emotional stake (you guys! and berkeley) in stuff at home that i don't think i could bear to stay any longer than i will.
bah, school. the bain of my existence. seriously guys, it's a joke. but not the good kind, the painful kind. workbook exercises, 2-page regurgitation write-ups, shitty grading system -- it's on my nerves. it's a bad time for it to get on my nerves too; in two weeks i have 5 finals and a 10-page paper and an 8-page paper. what the fuck am i going to write about for 8 pages for spanish history? yeah the inquisicion was shitty. end. it makes me thankful for the intellectual standards at berkeley. it at least motivates me to do work most of the time. it's pulling teeth for me to write a 2-page art history writeup. it actually feels like high school.
yeah, so that's my update, sorry it's lame, but i will recount my whole trip (and you will recount the entire semester for me) when i return. in one month :)

This is the first time i've logged into livejournal in probably 2 months, and for that I'm sorry, and I feel like I have no idea what'g going on in all of your lives :(
Why I'm excited to leave Spain:
1. Food. Raw food/vegetarian + sushi diet when I get back. Hope you will all recognize my chubby face. Too much oil.
2. I don't know how to express how much I want to go outside in my flip-flops with out being stared at as if I were not wearing any pants.
3. I really miss all of you. A lot.
4. My university is an absolute joke. Even in Spanish. I need to be in a psych class, as much as i LOVE spanish literature (not).
5. I need to make some money.
Why I don't want to leave Spain:
1. I love it.
2. I want to travel more.
3. I have no homework.
4. I want to keep working on my Spanish.
5. The weather is amazing right now.
I'll be back in Berkeley between June 4th and June 15th. Who's around this summer?

the acoustic version of creep just came up on my ipod, and it took me almost 3/4 of the way through the song to realize i had been subconsciously picturing the cartoon music video the whole time. it made me miss radiohead class and all the people in it :(. and everyone at home.

| lo siento, es que tengo que practicar |
[27 Feb 2007|02:06pm] |
pues, estoy aqui en madrid, y por fin, mi vida tiene un poco de ritmo. he finalizado mi horario de mis clases. estoy haciendo cinco clases de espanol: lengua (por supuesto), literatura espanola, la historia de espana, espanol coloquial, y arte espanol. la vida aqui es de puta madre, pero al mismo tiempo, mi cuerpo me olia. vivo cerca del parque de buen retiro entonces puedo correr, pero casi siempre no tengo ganas de hacerlo. Tambien, salgo de marcha casi todas las noches de la fin de semana, por supuesto tomo bebidas y a menudo no regreso a mi casa hasta las mil -- hasta cuando el metro empieza (6am). No puedo quejar porque es una vida de que probabalamente tengo una oportunidad de experimentar. Ya que vivo aqui, deberia vivir como una madrilena, no?
supongo que debo hablar mas espanol, pero es que cuando estamos en grupos grandes de americanos, es dificil. siempre es mas facil comunicarnos en ingles, pero al mismo tiempo, aprender la lengua is porque estoy aqui! Tambien no queiro ser "ESA PERSONA" que solamente habla espanol me hago solitaria.
estoy muy alegre de que mi madre y sean vayan a visitar (no al mismo tiempo, claro). Con mi madre voy a Paris, lo cual is perfecto porque va a estar la semana immediatemente despues de mi semana santa en italia que va a ser la hostia de caro. Y quiero hacer las cosas turistas en paris, es todo. Queiro viajar mas a otras lugares en espana para que practique mi espanol. esta fin de semana voy a granada y cordoba, la proxima a barcelona, y la proxima a Valencia para las fallas! pues pienso que si voy a usar mi espanol.
pero bueno, ya es tarde (cerca de medianoche aqui, y tengo que levantarme my temprano) pues voy a acostarme. espero que toda este bien con todo, y os quiero dar un "lo siento" por no escribir mas. hasta luego tios. os echo de menos!
