Things can change.

Today, I received two bad news at the same time. I didnt pass a writing exam and I did not get a board member position. I was really upset, especially when I found out at the same time. I thought that I was going to be sad the whole day. But then, I received a phone call from an unknown place. I answered it and it was from one of the places that I applied to be an intern. She asked me if I was still interested and wanted to go to an interview. My mood picked up really quickly. I think its a wonderful opportunity. Im so surprised that it was not taken before.

Class was interesting today. We had a guest lecture and she was very informative about the ICWA. And, I am going to be writing about that for my paper! When I came back home I found out that the contest that I entered decided to give everyone who entered books. I was surprised and glad that I still tried despite that the contest might have already awarded winners. In a few weeks, I will be receiving the book Carrying the One and I am excited although I have no idea what the book is about.

I also went to my last volunteer session of pedestrian/bike observing and recording. Im glad that I get reimbursed for it. The other volunteers that I have met are civil engineering majors or other hard sciences major. I am the only soft major. Oh well, I always like to try new things and get rewarded in the process.

I have been doing it. Going to the gym atleast over 2 times a week. It feels good. I am definitely more motivated now.

Still time left

Since yesterday was super stressful and busy, I relaxed today. I think I relaxed a bit too much though. I still have lots of reading too or I will tomorrow! Well, class didnt start yet and I still have all those hours to do it.

So much to do

Today, I really wanted to go to the bike auction and set my alarm to around 7. But, the thing is I suddenly woke up around 8ish and I rushed to go for the viewing part of the auction. The auction was really exciting. I wish I knew what bikes were good, so I could have auctioned for better products. I bought two bikes. But, they definitely need to be repaired. But, I think thats expensive. I am looking around for the cheapest places. Since the bikes needed to be repaired, I ended up dragging or walking them to my apartment. Luckily, it was right across the street from the auction. But, the heavier bike was so hard to move. It was also very hot. I am glad that I had the strength to do it. But, it made me sweat a lot.

Afterwards, I went to my old apartment to see if Alina was there. I knocked 6 times and she finally opened the door. I talked to her and she gave me the check. Then, I offered her a ride to the supermarket. I am glad I handled that situation well and that we are cool with each other.

I was really tired by late afternoon because all of that I had to do. I hadnt ate since last night and there was still more for me to do. I decided to go get boba at The Old Teahouse, which isnt the best place, but its decent. I also choose to ate Ohana's Hawaiian BBQ. I ate so quickly that I thought I was going to choke and it really did look like I was stuffing my mouth with food.

I didnt get to do any schoolwork yet, but I still have tomorrow to accomplish that. Im glad that today was atleast accomplishing!
