Shit.

Rough summary of my night:

Good chat with a friend=yay

Girl talk with the roomies=lots of laughing and screaming

Email from an old friend=awww

Finally hearing back from two positions I applied for=excited squealing and phone calls

Realizing that it’s 1am and I have a 2 page paper to write=sad face

Getting an email about something that happened at work=shit. fuck. FUCK.

Seriously, why?! I am one of the few people that actually takes my job really seriously. I actually match faces to IDs, I make people sign in, I keep an eye out for things, and people tend to hate me for it. I’m the Nazi SM. And it only takes on stupid freaking resident to slip through and I’m fucked. Yeah, I messed up. But FUCK, why couldn’t it have been someone on my staff who doesn’t give a crap about the job?

There go my hopes of applying to be an SC.

It is now 2am and I have still to begin my paper.

Ugh, I kind of want to cry.

Haha.

I LOVE EATING.

Not like everyone didn’t already know this, but I eat all the time. Like. All. The. Time.

Hahahahah I’m at work and the RA who gave me my breaks last night just commented on how I was eating again. Nice nice.

Anyway, I realized that since I love food so much I should start working on my cooking skills :) I will not try/pretend to be a gourmet chef like my dear brother does (haha don’t kill me if you see this), but I will try to start putting more time and care into the food I make instead of just throwing things together randomly. Not that it doesn’t still taste good.

And here are some silly quotes from work today:

“I love wearing dresses because then I don’t have to wear pants!”

“Maybe I should be going there [Clark Kerr] to get laid. Football players have broad shoulders. And they’re really strong.”

“Dude, what are you talking about? Ninjas are stealthy!”

“Are you guys just partying in the elevator?”

Make me happy and read my list!

Okay, I’ll admit it- I’m a little bit stalkerish at times.

But who isn’t?  We all spend more time on Facebook than we really need to, clicking through pictures and picking up random pieces of information about friends or even strangers.  I think my friends only call me out on it because I admit it.  Hmmmm?  Haha.  I also like to read blogs.  I know it’s silly, but at least they’re always people I kind of know.  Not that it really makes it better or excusable.  I bet people do it to me to0!  Or maybe not and nobody reads this, which I am okay with too.  I haven’t really had a post worthy of reading in a long time.  Sorry folks!

I only started writing this because my friend? acquaintance? (someone I know and hopefully doesn’t read this because I feel creepy) made a list of things they wanted for their birthday, and I rather liked it.  So with some editing and additions, here are some things I would greatly appreciate.

1. A handwritten letter.  I like sending snail mail, but receiving snail mail is nice too.
2. A photo of you (or us).  Email it to me!
3. Your favorite song(s) or one that reminds you of me.
4. A copy of your favorite book.
5. Something handmade.
6. A page telling me about yourself.  Your favorite things, pet peeves, quirks, funny memories, whatever.
7. A hug.

That is all!  I am heading back to school tomorrow to work some holiday shifts.  I guess since it’ll be quiet I can occupy myself with dusting, vacuuming, and organizing.  Hehe how fun…

CREEPY CREEP :(

I am so creeped out right now.

Last night around 9:30, I got a really creepy prank call to the phone in the SM booth where I work.

“Hi, Towle SM booth, this is Andrea.”

“This is your superior.  Do you like your job?”

“Um…yeah, who is this please?”

“I’m the one asking the questions here.  If you want to keep your job, you’re going to do exactly as I say.”

“Okay seriously, who is this?”

*Creepy laugh, phone hangs up*

Apparently, he called the next SM working here too.  And then today…

“Hi, Towle SM booth, this is Andrea.”

“Hello Andrea, this is your superior speaking.”

So this time I just told him I didn’t want to deal with him, hung up, and called the police because my boss told me to.  About half an hour later, a nice police officer came to write a report.

“Did he ask you if you were wearing close-toed shoes?”

Apparently there have been other prank calls about that, which is just odd.

“Some loser must have lost his World of Warcraft account and is really bored.”

I laughed really hard when he said this.  What a friendly guy.  Anyway, there are people baking cookies in the kitchen down here and it smells so so good and I really want warm cookies right now!  Hopefully the rest of my shift will be creeper-free.

Until You Got Love

So once again, I’m working a late shift here in Towle and I’m getting bored.  I suppose I should read or do something productive, especially since I have a midterm coming up.  But instead, I watched “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” and am now listening to Rent and singing along.  Hopefully I’m not being too obnoxious.  Hmmmmmmm time for a random life update list?

1. Last weekend at home was definitely a nice break from Berkeley.  I miss having my parents take care of me.  And my mother complimented my driving!  And I got to see G.  And I just love home.
2. I drove up to Berkeley on Sunday to further  my mission of conquering my nervousness about driving on the freeway.  It was actually pretty fun because it’s the longest I’ve ever driven.  Yeah, shut up I never get to drive.
3. On Thursday, I actually managed to stay awake during my entire physics lecture.  Before Thursday, I’ve fallen asleep every lecture.  Sighhh I need to have a better sleeping schedule.  And I also need to stop failing at physics.
4. Music 20A might be a really easy class, but I like feeling smart for once at  Berkeley.  Usually I feel like such a failure, but I know how to sight sing so I pretty much win in this class.  Yes.  For the first time, I am confident about going to class!
5. Because my genes have blessed me with a fast metabolism, I have no motivation to work out.  But it is not a good feeling to trudge up four flights of stairs and be out of breath.  Not at all.  What happened to the girl who could run 10 miles?  I am going to try and make an effort to exercise more.
6. I hate how midterms just creep up out of nowhere.  I have promised myself that I will study hard this weekend, and I better actually do it for once.
7. C. is coming up the Berkeley for the USC game next weekend and I am soooo excited to see her.  I miss friends!
8. I wish I could go down to LA or SD and visit people.
9. Watching tv online during work is the best thing ever.  I’ve pretty much decided that work will be tv time and I can stop feeling guilty about it.  It’s just too hard to do actual homework when I’m SMing because I have to stop so often to swipe people in!  But yay for being almost caught up on all my tv shows?  Heh.
10. I feel kind of shitty right now and working the late shift is definitely not helping.  Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow!  Jon McLaughlin always makes me smile.

so why should I apologize for looking for

a better way to live, way to live

Happy Working Song

Working as an SM is pretty nice for the most part.  I can work, watch tv on my computer, and I get to sit.  Also, there are little things that make my job more interesting.  Here are some quotes I think you might enjoy.

• “Do you know where Fraternity Row is?”
• “Do you have any medical knowledge?”
• “Oh you need ID?  I have my Cal ID.  I also have my driver’s license.  And this credit card.  And I’m a member at BevMo!  Haha you think I’m funny!  She thinks I’m funny!”
• “Have you ever tasted alcohol? How about weed, do you smoke weed?!”
• “How are you?  I’m sooooooo high”
• “Can you please eat a shrimp chip to prove to my friend that I’m not the only person who likes them?”

People are so interesting.  I must say though, late shifts are not my favorite things.  But I have wonderful friends who visit and keep me company!

How we all enjoy letting loose with a little la-da-da-dum-dum.

Not As We

I’ve been trying to listen to all the music I have on my computer.  So basically, I’m playing all the songs on iTunes that have a play count of zero.  Which makes for a rather odd but interesting listening experience.  Movie soundtracks are actually a lot of fun to listen to, classical music does not help me concentrate better, and boy bands will always have a special place in my heart.

The first few days of classes are over and I am still excited for this semester, which I take as a good sign.  My good feelings haven’t worn out yet!  But I am definitely having trouble motivating myself to work and do all the things I need to do.  Bio reading has been putting me to sleep way too much, and hopefully this trend does not continue.  Otherwise, it’s going to be hard going for the next three years, haha.  But I think I’ll be fine on that part as soon as I get my groove back.

I had my first work shift yesterday, and being an SM is actually not as boring as I thought it would be.  I mean, I expected a lot worse.  But some people are really friendly, which makes me happy.  Nice people make me smile.  Oh and I love how flustered I get around cute boys.  Way to make an impression.  But that’s not exactly important!

You know, it took me long enough but I think I’m finally happy with how things are.

From scratch begin again but this time I as I.

Minor crisis

I accidentally scheduled myself to work on September 5th from 6-10pm.

Our first football game is September 5th at 7pm.

If nobody can cover for my shift I am seriously going to cry.  Like.  Literally.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

On a slightly happier note, my first day of classes went pretty well.  Not that I had much class to go to, haha.
