Bitter Sweet

Hi there!
I notice that I start almost all of my e-mails that way. Hi there! It says I am trying to be fun and professional at the same time.

Anyways,I have not formally told you guys about A&L day. My new favorite day of the week. So here it goes. Tuesdays are naturally the worst day of the week. Not anymore friends. Not anymore. I now have a new tradition (with a couple of newer but greater friends Nicole and Kathleen) where we go to dinner and the library on Tuesday nights. It makes my week 70% better! We get to relax and hang out, chat about life, and then hit up the library for some homework time. So much stress is relieved in these few hours. So we've had about 4 A&L days so far, and today we hit a big speed bump. Kathleen had work. WHAT THE HECK?! What do we do. Do we go without her? postpone? What? Well we went... just the two of us. Definitely a bitter sweet feeling. Bitter in the fact that Kathleen wasn't there and we missed her, yet sweet in the fact that Nicole and I still managed to pull of another successful A&L day all on our own. We had a bangin time, and took our weight lifting partnership to an all new high. Enough about A&L, here are a few things that have been on my mind lately.

First off, is the distance between my dorm and the library. Its about a 600 meter distance. Now, after practice, tired and wet, do i want to walk there in the dark? Would it be easier to drive? I can never decide! It hurts my brain to think about it. AH!

Second, is the fact that at CSUMB they provide 25% of all freshman with an academic coach. These coaches live in San Francisco and call us once a week to give us "advice" on our academic week. I personally love my coach, and would love to be besties with her but here is the thing... I know NOTHING about her beside her name. She is there for me to use her. It is the first one sided relationship I have ever had, and I just wanted to share... that it is the most awkward thing ever. C'mon to talk to someone once a week for a whole year and nothing about them! So strange!!!

Anywhoo, lots of ideas have been floating through my head lately, so excpect a sequence of blogs this week. :D Thats all for now.
