I slept in until 9! Whoo!  I also made the mohawk again!Unfortunately, CPU lab was boring :(

But, consolation: Feminist Theory was terrific! The content this week is Black feminist theory, so I loooooove studying what I read and live everyday :)

I was bumping Cherry Bomb all day, which of course makes me feel peculiar, and in some ways impairs my abilities to function, ha! ELP was cool; we all had to give a speech. You-know-who said they liked my hair :)

Relaxed and ate a bit before BWS at 5 which was AWESOME again: we talked about our moms & how black motherhood looked to us. I cried a little just from thinking about my momma, but it was still a really awesome experience...
Afterwards, I headed to PC for Open Mic Night in the Loft at 7. It started late, so I only stayed an hour. Most of the acts were mediocre, but this one person, Goosh, was amazing! He had the appearance and voice of Patrick.

Finally headed back to the room for homework and review. I've had a handful of quizzes, but my first exam is this Friday! Got to hang with the suitemates for a bit :)

I was up at 7:30AM to shower :(

After chem, I decided to made a mohawk, eat some haute (oat)meal, and review for CPU quiz 2. Today's weather was perfect; I can't say it enough :)
Then I headed to lecture. I felt okay about the quiz. Put on some good music and wandered around for an hour because I didn't want to go back to my room...

We had some good convo in FYE discussion; my peers gave me some new studying ideas that I'm ready to try out! Picked up a little snack to accompany some Netflix-aided decompression. Studied and did homework until 5:40, then headed to PC for chicken fries from BK before BSU and RHA. Once I made it back to Revelle, I crashed the ladies' suite 4 dancing and snacks before bed around 1!

It's my older cousin's birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAB! She's a year ahead of me at Cal, and she's awesome. Check her out!

I've got some other important links to share, actually. Here goes:

• My UCSD Bucket list [x]
• Letter to Future Me [x]

*Note: The above links (2) are Google documents, and should be completely open to the public. If your attempt to access one of the docs is problematic PLEASE let me know, so I can fix it. THANKS!

On to today...
Today was totally chill! I woke up late (around noon). Walked to Pines to pick up lunch (#ChickenStripSquad), and updated my planner and blog while handling some random business (ie: setting up an appointment with an academic advisor, finishing my UCSD bucket list, finishing my letter to future me, planning my holiday journey, and planning my math placement exam).

Dinner from Take A Wok accompanies some television before a night of light studying, and homework. Even the weather was chill! Those good #SundayVibes were filling the day :)

Woke up around 10 to join the ladies at Pines for breakfast #Delicious
We sat around chatted for awhile in the Basement, then I came back to my dorm to nap. When I woke up, I was treated to a call from my girl Amy! And after we caught up, I decided it was time to wash my hair. Which I did, and promptly oiled and knotted. I grabbed dinner from Take A Wok before watching more TV (#SleepyHollow) and updating my music catalog for a while. It was a very comfortable, chill night for me, reminiscent of my favorite Saturday nights at home if my family were here, of course. Stayed up until around 4AM because it's just so easy to get caught up in music...Here's some of my new obsessions:

Just Press Play #1

(From left to right across:)

• Gwen Bunn The Verdict (2009) [x]
• GoldLink Sober Thoughts-Single (2015)
• Kyle Smyle (Deluxe Edition) (2015)
• Tyler, the Creator Buffalo (video) (2015)
• KING In the Meantime-Live for Grammy's (2013) [x]
• Kendrick Lamar TPaB Medly Live (2015) [x]
• The Weeknd Tell Your Friends (video) (2015)
• MeLo-X GOD: Piece de Resistance (2013)

Side note, what's weird are all the families here for family weekend. I feel like I can't blast my music because of the kids, ha! I would've loved for my fam to come, but it was massively expensive and not enough time. Maybe my fam can come down when they have at least a 4-day weekend...

Boy, was today peculiar! I was just exhausted all day. It was incredible! But, I'll tell you what-I ate before chem lab today, and actually ended up getting along great with my lab partner #Miracles

So, after lab, I got another snack before being only #6 in line at the burger joint and treating myself to a Friday evening of dreams: this food + catching up on #TGIT

Met up with the ladies later to chill and chat before we headed over to a whack comedy show. I came back and passed out from exhaustion.

My real sleep in day (first class starts at 12:30pm) was interrupted by a 7AM fire drill. Those alarms are loud, let me tell you... Anyway, after the drill, I headed to breakfast at Pines with las amigas, and when we headed back I took a glorious nap. After which I woke to an overcast sky!

After Feminist Theory lecture, I headed to Geisel for a phenomenal nap :)

And, after FYE lecture, I got some Panda for dinner just because :)

(Well, I did have a taste for it, but actually, the dining halls were closed, so ya know...). Ended the evening with the usual companion: homework!

Because I finished classes nice and early today (I'm done by noon on Wednesdays), I did some laundry before walking up to CVS for more mints (6 bags of life savers :) and cereal. The cashier gave me a membership card!

Made it back to homework for some strong study game ;)

                    

Had a fancy looking dinner before the ice cream social in my lounge. The tips were identical to those given this week in ELP, but I'm always down for free ice cream! After my scoop of chocolate, I hung out with the ladies in front of 64. It was a chill and lovely way to end the evening :)

More to come,
