Quick Update!

I don’t know if anyone still read this- but I figured it’s time to slow down and reflect…

This quarter has flown by with the countless things that have been occupying my time: 22 units, CUIP internship, ISO core, and Kenny (who everyone finds facsinating).

22 units: I’m taking the usual classes that keep me on track for major. The classes wouldn’t be that difficult if I wasn’t having trouble focusing. I think I’m still in summer mode and am having trouble keeping my head in my book for more than an hour at a time. I’m taking good classes, but I don’t feel that drive and thirst for more that I did last year. Now it’s just getting the information that I need to keep up.

CUIP: I’m interning for the school of engineering at the “development and communications coordinator” (sounds way fancier than it actually is). My current project is to develop a “Young Dean’s Club” which is a membership society of young grads who donate small amounts of money back to the school. The project is brand new and totally MINE! Which means I can do whatever I want with it and am basically starting from scratch. I feel like I’m doing actual work- not busy work- but work I get to call my own. It’s brand new but I’m pretty proud of it. I’m required to take a class with other interns around campus taught by one of the Deans. It’s kind of BS but I can’t complain as the chancellor is paying for ALL of my tuition. I kid you not.

ISO Core: I could go on for hours about how what I love and hate about it, but bottom line- I can’t imagine not doing it. It’s nice to have some form of a social life. I miss event planning and doing fun stuff. It’s a nice release and the people are amazing.

And of course what everyone has been dying to hear about… Kenny (the boyyyyyy, oo la la…) I honestly don’t have that much to say about him. I thought maybe the reason I didn’t have anything to say when people asked me was because I didn’t like him that much. But after almost 1 month I know that’s not true. I’m so lucky to have someone special in my life who makes me so so so happy. He’s the person I can come talk to at the end of my day, the person who supports me, makes me laugh, appreciates me and I will never take for granted. It’s in no way perfect, but perfect is boring. I like being with someone who makes me feel good and is so different from me but at the same time thinks the same way. Weird. I now find myself doing all the gross couply things I used to roll my eyes at. I say “I’ll miss you” or kiss him hello, he’ll go shopping with me, or pick up my groceries (hehe he told me not to get used to that), I’ll help him pick out clothes…. yup! We’re one of THOSE couples, but no worries I’m still me bubbly as ever.

I’m very happy in case you were wondering. I’m being challenged academically, I’m learning new things about evberything, and I’m having fun. Things feel right.
