Just wanted to post one last time as a non-sorority girl! :)

Well, plans just did fall in my lap last night, something that I wasn't expecting at all...but yeah. I'm continuing my rebelious streak and tonight I went gambling! Well, it was just Casino Night on the dorm hill. I lost half of my (fake) money, but still managed to get two raffle tickets out of the deal. (some people had like 30) They were calling out the raffle winners. I REALLY wanted the portable DVD player. But before that, they announced the winning number for two tickets to see "The Producers". And they call out the number...4...7...2...9...2...8. My tickets are 472926 and 472927. See, it sucks to be me. By the way, I'd also like to mention that my best friend is so gullible for believing that I actually went gambling tonight. Come on, I'm not THAT wild. Yet.

So I just read my friend's Live Journal, which reminded me that I haven't blogged in awhile. Perhaps I should switch to the live journal format? They have cool headings and stuff, and a place for people to comment (so that I'd be comforted that people are actually reading my thoughts), but then again, I already have my blog established and it's nice to have my thoughts of college kind of bundled in one place. I should really print out a hard copy one of these days.
What's been going on in my life the past couple weeks? Pretty much same old, same old. Adjusting to this new major is still extremely difficult (I just do NOT handle change very well). And don't even get me started on how worried I am about what I'm doing this summer and where I'm living next year (and with whom). Too many question marks, too many things that depend on other people. I really need to learn how to take initiative. Things don't always just fall into your lap, yet I spend most of the time wishing they would.
Last night I ate too much, but oh, well...the times when I eat to much are now few and far between. They had theme dinner in the dining halls (WHY are they closing Covel???) and then I had another dinner at one of my future TBS sister's apartments. Yay for home-cooked food! I was supposed to go back to the dorms after Friends, but I ended up staying through Will and Grace and talking all through ER and didn't get back till 11 (isn't it great how thursday nights are dictated by television?).
No plans for tonight, but that's OK. Maybe something will just fall into my lap...

Happy Groundhog Day! To celebrate, I woke up really early in the morning and went to church! Actually, church has nothing to do with Groundhog Day, but one of my friends decided that it would be fun to take a trip to the new LA cathedral. Mass started at ten, but what with our lack of cars, we had to rely on public transportation, and left campus a little bit before nine. We had to walk down to Wilshire to catch the bus, and then we rode the bus for a half an hour to get to the subway (yes, there are subways in Los Angeles), which we took almost all the way to Union Station. We arrived at mass before the first reading. Not bad, considering I don't trust public transportation anywhere, especially in LA. The cathedral was pretty; the architecture was fascinating. After mass we went and looked at the crypt where all the past bishops are buried. The current cardinal already has a gravemarker (with the deathdate left blank), and we're like confused...what does he do? bring flowers to his own grave? Anyway, then we ate lunch at the cathedral's cafe and went to the gift shop, where i bought another one of those souvenier "floating" pens (I call them slidey pens). I now have sixty-something of them, i think. Yes, I'm insane. But everyone's got to collect something, right? Then we took a brief detour to Olvera St, and then we took the subway, bus, and walked back to school. All in all, it was a six hour trip to church.
And since I've spent the entire morning playing tourist in LA, it's time to go back to what I normally do in LA...be a student. I have midterms this week. Which means i should be studying.
