Today for some reason I woke up at 7 am and was not sleepy at all but then I saw it was 7 am and it was way too early so I forced myself to sleep a little more. I then woke up at around 9:30 which was a much more suitable time for me and then ran down to the Study to get some coffee to get my day started. While I was getting my stuff from the Study I called my dad and talked to him for a bit, and then my mom and I caught up on some gossip and it was a fun way to start my morning. I am a little worried because on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have my management class and I have not attended lectures since the midterm and I have fallen very, very behind. It is imperative that I start catching up literally today so that I am caught up in time for the final. However, this is definitely easier said than done. When it comes down to it, it is always so hard for me to study management because I know I cannot give half my energy to the class. It needs to be 100% every time I study otherwise I will not understand what I am doing, and that sounds really daunting and discouraging every time I actually need to do my work. But my goal for this week is to at least attempt to start catching up because I know once I start, it will be much much easier for me to continue.

Today I had to wake up at 7 am for my last dinosaur lab of the year. I was happy that I didn't have to wear business professional to it this time because it's such an early class, but because I woke up so early and went to bed at 2 last night I chugged a monster energy drink on my way there. The lab was pretty long today but after class, I walked back to my dorm and started working. I also sent my extended family members the fundraising flyer in hopes that they will donate. I also needed to refill my prescription but apparently, my doctor will not refill it for me until I have an appointment with him, but since he is in Texas I have to wait until we are off for the summer to see him and therefore will not get my medication till then. This is quite annoying to me, but hopefully, it will be okay. I just finished studying for Twin Trials that are tonight and am feeling fairly confident, as I know a lot about my pledge brother Leslie. I just am unsure if the questions I am asked will align with all of the information that I know. I am sure it will be fine though as long as I am prepared and try. I am about to go get lunch at the Study and then head down to Westwood with Kash to get certain people gifts for certain events later this week. Since my friend from home is coming tomorrow, I am also going to try and get some school work done ahead of time and also do some last-minute cleaning of my dorm. I am hoping that today is a productive day and that I do not crash later because I have too much work to do to take a nap lol. I also sketched out my paddle for my big Caroline last night and was fairly impressed with myself, as I normally am a terrible drawer. I think she will like what I put on it and I may paint that later tonight as well.

Today, I am writing my daily journal early as I nearly did not submit mine on time yesterday. I had pre-written the journal but never hit the submit button and only remembered at 11:57. Thankfully, I was able to run to my computer and turn it in, but I was angry at myself for almost missing the journal. Today, I woke up at 8:00 for my 9:00 A.M class. I spent a while getting ready, as I was waiting for my roommate to get out of the shower. I usually walk to my musicology class with her and my friend, Ethan, however, Ethan has covid currently and is in the isolation dorms. At around 8:40, my roommate exited the shower, and I asked if she was planning on going to her class. She explained that her class was canceled today, and I realized that I was running late to my own class. I left immediately and headed to Reiber to grab a meal ticket before walking down. I missed my friends when I was walking to class, but I listened to my favorite podcast and got to spend some time with myself, which was nice. Usually, I call my boyfriend if I am walking alone, but he was asleep, so I couldn’t do that. In musicology, we had an in-class assignment. My hatred for my professor grew even more today, as he gave us absolutely no time to work on the assignment. He simply told us to have it turned in by the end of class, but expected us to participate in discussion and pay attention to our guest speaker, who was speaking about completely unrelated topics. Later, I have stats and twin trials. I am feeling nervous!

Today seems like a better day. I get to go home for my sisters military event but I am just excited for my dad to pick me up and I get to go home for a bit. I really miss my dogs so I get to see them. Milo is my favorite because he is just a baby. But I am not so happy that I have to show my face at my school again like uggh I do not want to see any of those adults that just caused me stress. I am still a hater of that school until my brother graduates. Anyways my morning has been okay too. I woke up at nine am and was like maybe I should go to tutoring but I wanted to go to the ten am session so I did. I like going but she always puts me on the spot and I feel bad when I can not answer a question. But it is all nice nothing to be upset about she is just helping us. I also have Final exam review session on friday. Overall I’m still very stressed about everything that we have left for the quarter but it will get done.

I woke up pretty late this morning because I had stayed up watching Bojack Horseman last night while completing my sketch of my idea for my paddle for my Big, Elaine. I have so many ideas, but I do not know if my drawing capabilities will live up to my expectations for the paddle. I woke up pretty late this morning. I went to B Cafe with Cya to get some food and ordered the salmon sandwich because I had tried it once before. Afterwards, I went to the mailroom to pick up the main part of my gift for my A Big, Narek. I returned home to discuss some things with my roommate before going to talk with one of my pledge brothers. Afterwards, I returned home to change into my business professional attire because I was going into Westwood and knew I would return around the time of my twin trial. I met up with Raina and another one of my pledge brothers and we made our way to Target. We did some shopping for our Big / A Big gift while simultaneously preparing for the Twin Trial. I bought a few things I thought my Bigs would like, but naturally, I still have so much anxiety over how they are going to react to the gift.
We eventually found out one of our pledge brothers conducted COVID and later found out that the majority of Hell Week was going to be held online. I then went to my Twin Trials. I do not think I did too bad, there was only one question about the classes he was taking that threw me completely off - but I think I made up for it by restating her major.

Today has been quite a busy day for me. I spent the entire night working on an essay for my writing 2 course. After hours of working on it and a terrible migraine I finally submitted it at 10:45 am today. I was so happy to be done with my essay and we got rewarded in my course by having a bunch of Middle Eastern snacks and watching a fun movie about a food truck being opened by Lebanese refugees which was really cool. After class I got rende with my awesome adopted big Jacob. We got rende east and reflected over the quarter, he gave me some tips on ideas for gifts that Eric might enjoy for active appreciation. After lunch I met up with my girlfriend for a little bit which was fun. Afterwards I met up with Raina and Faith and we walked to Westwood to do some last minute shopping and hang out for a while which was really cool! After Westwood I prepared for twin trials which unfortunately moved onto Zoom cuz of Covid. I was really looking forward to doing it in person, but online was pretty cool also. I feel like I handled most of the questions okay, and I hope that the active body deems by defending of Cya good enough. Now I am writing this and am about to go to sleep soon because I have a headache from a lack of sleep and am suuuuper tired.

Today started off on a horrible foot. I woke up three hours later than I originally had planned. I wanted to wake up at 7.30am to shower and go to my 9am. I didn’t charge my phone overnight and my phone died in my sleep. I woke up at 10.30am IN SHAMBLES. I missed my Bruincard appointment, but I called the place and said I could come later without an appointment. I then realized I still hadn’t ordered a new license and it wouldn’t come in time for me to leave the country. Before I order the new one though, I would have to report the old one as lost to the UCPD, which I thought I had already done. And then I realized that I parked my car in the wrong garage, and that I probably had a ticket. Safe to say I was not having it this morning. But, when I got to my car, they just gave me a warning. God bless that ticket guy. Then, I went to the station, and the lady told me she didn’t know how to do the report, and she didn’t know when the couple that could would get there. She was like come later, and I was like will it be a guarantee that they’re here, and she was like no, so I was like, okay then why would I come later. Anyways I left then went to the Bruincard center in Ackerman and got a new Bruincard, and it was 25 DOLLARS. Does it look like I am made out of money? UCLA is robbing me. Anyways, I went to class but my laptop was dead. But I just paid a lot of attention and then talked to my professor and TA afterwards. Then, I just did miscellaneous important tasks until my twin trial, and then talked to Kash after to debrief. Now, I am painting my paddle while my friend makes watercolor paintings alongside me. We are also watching How I Met Your Mother together. The day ended well, though it started horribly. Also, MY WALLET HAS BEEN FOUND. About 25$ too late but it’s okay because I don’t need to go to the DMV tomorrow now.

Today was a first chill day of hell week. I decided to sleep in because yesterday I had stayed up late till 4am for no reason at all honestly except for the fact that I was chatting it up with my friends. As an extrovert it really is things like that that keep me going on tiring weeks/days. Anyways I woke up at 12am because I knew I was planning on skipping class, I had gone to sleep so late I just knew I wasn't even going to bother trying and waking up early. So after waking up pretty late, I showered because my lazy ass didn't shower the day before. It felt so nice to wake up int the morning and shower. After my shower I got ready and made myself breakfast, just an egg sandwich. It felt nice to finally make myself food at home, for the longest I’ve been eating out and I’m tired of outside food. Afterwards I went to work, which was another chill day because my supervisor wasn't there so it was just me in the office. I was only there for 2 hours, my boss let me leave early because I had a mandatory pre-departure orientation for my summer internship abroad in Colombia. It was a pretty informational meeting. Afterwards I took a small nap before preparing for mock trials. I woke up and studied my twin’s fun facts, her aftermath, and failed quizzes. And made sure I was ready to defend her dedication to the organization in front of the active body. I felt like my twin trial went pretty well, however I don’t want to overhype myself, that’s up to the active body to decide. Afterwards I wanted to simply just relax, so I sat on the couch while watching disney movies and making bracelets. Afterwards I took another nap, honestly I just absolutely love naps. Now I’ve woken up and I’m preparing for tomorrow's mock interview. Overall a chill day, I hope the rest of hell week day’s go by like this.

Today was an alright start to my week. I woke up stressed but less stressed than in the past few weeks, which may have been bad. I woke up pretty early this morning because I had a 9 am. Part of me wanted to skip my class and go back to bed only because I did not get a lot of sleep the night before, and sometimes when I’m sleep-deprived, I get jittery, and I could feel myself getting like that this morning. But fortunately for me, my professor offered us an in-person and zoom option for class today, so I did not have to walk to campus. Instead, I just zoomed in from my bed. I also found out that my professor records all of his lectures so I can go back to his videos to study for our final. This was fascinating news for me. After this class, I got a bunch of food from the study because I felt starving this morning.After a long and well-deserved breakfast, I got ready for my day and headed over to the north campus for film and tv discussion. After my discussion, I used the next few hours to work on some assignments. Later, I met up with my twin to g over any last things before twin trails we went to Westwood and shooed for our bigs and talked about our lives it was quit nice.

Today felt like such a normal day which was strange and very nice. I was so happy to finally go to in person class even though I almost fell asleep, and I did not have to worry about interviews for the first Tuesday in forever. After class, I went to Bruin Cafe and ate lunch. I then met up with Faith and Cya to talk for a little while. We had a great conversation and I am so glad that I was able to speak with them today. We spoke for over an hour and then I realized that I still needed to get paint for the paddles. I knew that Target was out, and with little time left I was able to reserve a Zipcar to go to Michael’s on Sawtelle. I bought a bunch of paint and brushes for people to use and made it back in time just before my reservation was over. I then met up with Raina to start working on our paddles, and we talked about our preparations for twin trials. I had to leave briefly to do my twin trials which I think went pretty well. I know Aliza could not make it tonight, but I believe that I did a fairly good job of defending her. I then went back to my dorm to take a quick break before I got food at Rendezvous. It is so great to be eating regular food again. I then spent a good portion of the night running around the hill coordinating paint supplies and baskets with people before I got some ice cream and headed back to my dorm. I am know working on moving all of my stuff out of Evergreen and back into Centennial.

Today I woke up around 11 am, unfortunately I had to rush to get ready for my first class of the day. After class, I went to study and did work while I waited for my class to start. I began reviewing some organic chem material because I feel I’m behind in the class. My first class went well, even though I felt like I know that I need to spend more time to catch up with all the work. Luckily, after class I managed to find some time to grab a combo meal from Rende. I hadn’t eaten all day so it felt great to eat. It was nice to finally to have a small break from all the work and set aside time to simply enjoy a meal. Taking a break from all the work and stress was the highlight of my day, I felt so relieved and was able to catch my breath. I forgot how nice it is to just sit and be relaxed with music playing in the background. Following that short break, I began reviewing some facts in order to prepare for the Twin Trials tonight. Despite believing that I know my triplets fairly well, I still felt nervous because I have some test anxiety. When the Twin Trials were over, I knew that the rest of my day would be spent studying for my classes. I especially need to focus on my EPS SCI 119 class as I’ve been struggling with the material quite a lot.

Today I decided to wake up and get breakfast at the study. Then I went to the gym for two hours then I sharted because of the skillet I got at the study. I love being a lesbian and holding hands with women and kissing women I love kissing women so much. Then I rode my car to Ralphs then I ordered salt and vinegar chips then threw up again. I’m really going through it right now the amount that my stomach is not stomaching is not what I look forward to man. Then I hung out with my twinny twin twin Jackie packie poo and we got food at Ackerman Union. I went to Taco Bell and threw up once again. I think it’s the Plan B / birth control really getting to me that’s been throwing me (haha) in a loop. After that I decided to have an epiphany and learn how to do a back flip. I went to the grass in Janss and started practicing my back flips. I asked Jack to demonstrate how to do a back flip and HOORAY! He’s so good at doing them it’s crazy. After that I went back to my dorm and facetimed my honey boo then got dressed for twin trials which I honestly slayed the booty house down Houston I’m deceased. After the twin trials I decided to contemplate life and lie in the middle of my dorm face down listing all the elements on the Periodic Table. Life is good and I love life slay.

hey journalllll!!! today i woke up and i was feeling a little weird. When I woke up, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. But then I looked in the mirror and my hair looked WACK. Ugh man…frick man….why did it look so weird today man….Then I took my spiffy hair gel and warmed it up in my hands. Sticky sticky hair gel. It felt weird in my hands. Then, I ran it through my hair and made it spiky. Heh heh spiky is a funny word. Then I brushed my teeth. Oh wait I already said that I brushed my teeth already. Speaking of teeth, I really want to show everyone my teeth collection at active appreciation. When I was little, after I lost a baby toothie, I always kept it in my tooth fairy jar. To be honest, I have a teeny weeny crush on the tooth fairy. She’s such a baddie and I honestly can’t keep it together whenever I see her whimsical figure. Today before twin trails, I knocked out my one of my adult teethies so I could see the toothie fairy baddie for good luck before my twin trial. Yo shout out Jonalyn man…she’s such a good twin broo like we really are so close and I love Jonalyn. Anyways, now I am getting ice creamy. I love ice cream even though its cold and hurts my teeth. But I eat it anyways because I secretly hope that it will cause my teeth to fall out and so I can see the hot tooth fairy.

Today was extremely boring. I went to bed pretty late again and woke up late. I then sat in bed for a while and watched lectures for a class I forget I am in. I then started to work on my essay for one of my classes. I am incredibly bad at procrastinating but I need a lot of breaks whenever I do my papers because sometimes it's just too much thinking. I also do not plan out my essays which is probably the reason for my downfall every time considering I go in blind. I then got ready and did twin trials. It was a little stressful but I am glad it is one less thing to cross off the list. I then got dinner with my twin Vedant. We ate some epicuria. I then went back up to my dorm to finish working on my paper. I spent the rest of the night working on this paper, praying for it to finally be over. (It’s like when you’re sick and you reminisce on when you are healthy and how much you took that for granted but with papers) I will be finishing the night with working on drawing. I forgot I have a cartoon that is due so I will be figuring that out, along with my paddle. I’m looking forward to painting, especially mixing colors which is the most underrated part of being able to paint (color theory is soo much fun until you have to re-mix paint and get the exact shade again).

Today was a pretty boring day. I woke up at like 12 PM and faffed around a bit. I got takeout lunch at the Study, where I bumped into my adopted big Megan and Connie. After eating, I hung out with some friends, and reviewed a few key facts with Juliana for twin trials. After that, I hung out with some of my friends. I wasn’t really feeling like doing any work today so I didn’t do any. I have a bunch of homework that I still need to do but I don’t really feel like doing it anytime soon. Oh well. I’m pretty sure I’ll figure it out in the end. I was hoping to get all A’s this quarter but I messed up on my last essay for my art history GE so I need to do well on the final to compensate. I watched an episode of the new Marvel show, Moon Knight, which Adrian and I watched the first episode of together on Sunday night at his apartment. Then, we had twin trials. I think it went decently. There’s always room for improvement. Then, I went to get dinner at Epicuria with my twin who I just defended. I bumped into my adopted Big Megan there too. And then, when I thought I was safe, I let my guard down. When Cia and Izzy arrived, I greeted them, and didn’t notice Izzy going straight for my pineapple. She destroyed it mercilessly. It lasted less than 24 hours. Oh well. After eating, I watched a couple more episodes of Moon Knight, and I’m planning to laze around for the rest of the night.
