So the game plan didn't go exactly as planned...

Spent way more time being distracted and way less time "studying". For the final take-home exam due Wednesday, I didn't start writing my 6 page essay until 2 hours before it was due. I realize just how efficient I could be if I really put my mind to it because I completed my paper exactly as those two hours ended. Whereas I was spending countless hours trying to work on it the day before but got nothing done really. If only I can bust out that sort of adrenaline-time-sensitive-paper-writing any time I want.

But I guess the more important thing I want to say is that I'm done!! After I exited class on Wednesday, I walked out with a smile on my face (hopefully nobody saw) and declared that the final step out of my undergraduate career. It felt like sweet, sweet, victory--just as I had imagined.

So then started the process of finding random stuff to do to waste time. 

Wednesday night after that final class, I went over to Ling's to do a facial (haha my first!). We drank a beer and just talked about random things. It was nice.  Went over to her place again on Thursday after work and we watched some stuff at her house and went to starbucks for the rest of the night just to chat. Yea, I'm excellent at distracting people from their studies haha. 

Saturday was more uneventful. Woke up early with Frances to go see Priscilla who came to Rochester to visit. Then went back home but on the way, Frances and I were stopped by this random old man.

The conversation kind of went like this:

Him: So you ladies are oriental...did you know this place used to be occupied by native americans? if you have time please read the sign (and he reiterates this like three more times)

Us: ok...

Him: I know I'm an older man and you are young ladies and this might seem suspicious with me talking to you but I assure you that there is nothing to worry about....

Us: ok....

I'm a poet...can I read you a haiku? (and he actually recites this two to three versed haiku lol I only remember one line "Her wings were like dawn")

Then he said bye and left. Talk about random lol.

Sunday: Today was the Raising 100,000 Voices event. This is the event that my office has been working on for the past semester. It finally came together today, very smoothly. It was a red-carpet theme and all the kids had made movies about the Rochester community and are showing them today at the Dryden theater. Some of our sisters volunteered to be paparazzi lol. There was a large garden area adjacent to the theatre that we used to showcase their posters and other works besides the film. A good number of people showed up, including some senator. Cool stuff. After the event ended, went to Gleason and ordered chinese food with the group of friends studying here. Then went to see Frances's piano recital and came back to gleason. Currently bumming in a cubicle full of studying folks and I'm trying to figure out how to waste time on Phong's computer...lol ;)

---edit---

fell asleep while watching family guy on Lynna's computer. Then waited for Ling & Christy to get back from off-campus. Picked up a few videos at the multimedia center and then went to starbucks. Chatted for quite a while and Camille had to leave to do her group project. Ling, Christy, and I bummed some more until it was near midnight. We picked up the birthday cake from CLC and then stood around trying to pass time. After the minutes slowly inched by, we were on the move. First we checked her room and she wasn't there. So we snuck over to Gilbert where she said she was doing her group project. Surprised her with the cake but sadly she had to continue her project! So hopefully she had a wonderful bday--happy birthday biggie!! <3
