I'm taking a poll

What should I do? Where should I go?
  • Philippines
  • China
  • Uganda
What do you think?

PS I can count to 10 in 5 languages now... I think that's as far as it goes though. Arabic, Chinese, English, Spanish, Tagalog.

Law, Sleep, Bathrooms, Sushi... Can I be more random?

My destiny will never lead me to be a lawyer. I am currently studying for my Health Law midterm. It is all G.I.B.B.E.R.I.S.H. I'm serious. This doesn't make sense. It's a completely different language. Give me biology, chemistry, foreign languages any day. This stuff is like #@*(&&^@#)#@$^*&# to me.

I now have a complete inability to wake up in the morning. I miss the mornings where I could just roll out of bed and get going. Like an energizer bunny.... Or when I had a human alarm clock to kick me out of bed. These days I just lay there, sleep through alarm clocks, and stare angrily at my phone.

A thought: guys have it so easy when it comes to going to the bathroom. This thought occurred to me at work yesterday. I was in the bathroom and decided, why not use one of those silly toilet covers. Pulled one out. Put it down. Turned around... then turned back around. And it had fallen into the toilet. #($&^@! Seriously, guys can just stand there and go. Girls have to pop a squat and work on their thigh muscles. OR just sit on the grossness of a toilet OR use a toilet cover (either ready-made or impromptu toilet paper). Why is it so difficult for us to go?! I can tie this into the time I was in the hospital. Bed pans? Psh, don't know how to use those. Guys just have this lovely thing they can just use and relieve themselves. I had to push a call button, get a nurse, go, and have her help me throughout the entire process. Female anatomy is difficult sometimes...

Best work shift last night: discounted sushi and free Chai Latte. Gotta love fellow employee camaraderie. Mmmm sushi. Spicy Tuna Roll me!

This is my attempt at not studying law anymore... but it isn't working. The gibberish is pulling me back in... probably because I'm worried I'm going to fail my exam. Wish me luck!

Très bien, merci

Remember my list of goals? It's been a while, so let's assess:
  1. Do well in school- I'm working on it!
  2. Job- still searching, don't want to talk about it.
  3. The languages: I found a way to tackle my challenging hopes for language learning. iTunes podcasts!!!!! Yea, pretty awesome. So right now, I've got some French and Arabic going on. Currently listening to a French one. I have no idea how to spell anything- I got the title from a French phrases website. And as of right now, that's all I can say. But I'm working on it! Impressive, huh? 
  4. I joined a club on campus called Rotaract. I've been able to meet lots of people through it and I like it. Woohoo, I'm involved in school!
  5. Still working on going abroad next year
  6. Positivity? I'm still working on that one...
  7. I'm super off on one of my W's and don't have one W at all. So... that goal is sucking a bit. BUT I promise to work on it
I have a test on Wednesday that I should be studying for, but I don't want to. I'm procrastinating again. The other day I had a dream that I was at an acupuncturist and had needles stuck all on my back. Super weird and creepy dream to have. Then last night I had a dream that I was watching people I know have sex. Very strange and unnecessary. I woke up and wanted to rip my eyes out. Not a pleasant way to wake up. I think being in the sickness coma and medicating myself when I go to bed is causing some weird dreams.

Au revoir!
