| Oh.. just for the record... I'm done. Thank Goodness! I survived 5 years of College! Thanks UCI. Thanks Kaba. Thanks Engineering. It's been a great experience. I'll never forget.
Peace. | | |
| Gosh. Another brain wrenching day at work! Actually.. no, just a quarter step up from yesterday... a whole 2 years step backward in the scope of my life here. Why?!?! oh WHY?!?!?!? Geeze, I want to do real work. Real work is gonna make me stay. Real work is gonna help me advance! Man, I've got to do some school work now. That will challenge me, yes it will. Geeze. | | |
| This happens to be the most convenient place for me to put down my thoughts.. so here I go.
Today is Monday, April 19th.. and really a new start almost. This past weekend was amazing. It was the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) Pacific Southwest Regional Student Conference at UCSD. I participated in the Transportation Design project and have been since December 13th of last year. This was the project that required I worked on with students from Cal Poly Pomona. The series of trips we made out to Pomona and the endless hours of work put into something to make it look in my eye's "presentable" really paid off. We placed 2nd out of a total of 9 groups. Well.. you can say.. Saturday night I was thrilled.
It's those things in life where you just feel like you can't take any more of it that seem to be the most satisfying. Surprisingly, it's one of those things that for one reason or another makes you feel a bit empty inside once its gone... how's that so? Yes, this isn't the first time I've felt this feeling; yes, I know it isn't going to be the last either. This time it just the combination of success on the ASCE project and the end of school in general. The feeling of finishing college is just starting to settle in.
I began work at my hopeful full-time workplace today at Willdan; an engineering firm that does work for public agencies. The workload was real light... essentially nothing.. which well.. gave me ample time to "settle in" or in simpler terms.. "think." It was a bit depressing since 1) the desk I'm sitting at is not my permanent spot and 2) the desk I'm sitting at is stuck between two other cubicals with a window no where in sight. It's exciting though, knowing that this is a place where I hope to grow... I hope to use all my knowledge from UCI. Put it all down. Make it all worth it. It's about time I get back to some school work... there's not much more of it left ahead of me. ::: deep breath::: gosh. It's almost here. | | |
| Cool! This still DOES work! Thanks Aileen, Carl and Jean! It's nice to know I still have friends, contrary to the evidence on Myspace... check it out. One post this year from Karla, then another from Karla, sadly the second posted by request. Thank you Karla!
On another note.
I think making a little effort these next few weeks to post a little more often. I'm thinking it will be rewarding later on. I mean, this nearing the end of my college years and feeling somewhat like a time for reflection and, of course, a time to cherish. It reminds me slightly of the last Senior Year I experienced. You know the one 4 years ago, except this time, I definately feel a little more grown up. A little more realistic. And a whole lot more worried. Soon June will be "around the corner," and then whatta-know, it'll be "a few weeks.. days.. then time." I'll be 23. Loose my flight benefits, be graduated, and a few days later.. sky-diving into the medium that is life. It gets me anxious thinking about June but don't get me wrong, I will gladly accept its coming. To anticipate it more appropriately, its probably better to think of it in smaller bits. NOT, like the all say: ONE day at a time (gosh, I tried that the last 4 years, it got me to procrastinate! badly!) but instead, ONE week at a time. One week, yanno, SEVEN days. That's what I've found to be ample time to think of things now-a-days. Seven TIMES what I was used to!
Tonight was sweEEt! It was real nice seeing once familiar faces, kickin back, with so little worry. Simply enjoying the company and shared conversations of times past, present and to come. Carl, you's surely the GLUE that holds the group together. Drive safe bruddah, good luck with that interview and sure hope to see you in a few weeks! Speaking of a few weeks, I sure hope Big Bear turns out without a hitch. That will be the ultimate. reunion. And this time, we've got time to plan. 33 days to Big Bear. I Can't Wait.
take care cuzz. stay safe everyone, and don't be afraid to CALL ME. I'm not farther than a few buttons away.
peace and love. eternally and unconditionally.
TO INFINITY! AND BEYONNNND!!!! | | |
| How does this work again? I wonder if anyone still reads these? Anyway, I'm friccin lazy right now. Too lazy to even go to sleep. Today was filled with couch filled pleasures. Yes, pleasures, like watching TV and now... I understand now the evils of boredom and laziness. It's addicting. One program leads to another, leads to another and all of a sudden its been 4 hours in front of the TV! HORRIBLE.
Ok, enough of this. Blogging after 4 months of not blogging. Now that's bad. Bad! | | |
