I went to orientation today for the NASA internship. It wasn't too bad, just a bit boring. At least I met someone there. Yes, I actually talked to someone. Several people actually, while waiting in line. Two kids working for Red Bull and one interning like me. Didn't catch the Red Bull kids' names but we had a pleasant conversation on the merits of Batman vs. Superman. The other guy who was in the internship program is a second semester senior at a local high school. I gave him a ride through the base to get to our orientation. Nice kid.

My old ballroom team is going to be in SF for the SF Open ballroom competition. I would go see them tonight but I have a final to take tonight and am fucked time-wise until Tuesday. I figure I'm going back down to Claremont for alumni weekend anyway so I'll be able to see their formation team routine then. I can wait.

Lily Allen's coming on Monday, but I don't know if I'd be able to see her show at the Fillmore. Maybe if I get all my shit together, I can go. Hopefully the tickets won't be hard to come by in that instance. I don't want to commit to buying tickets now, when the chances that I'd be able to use them seem slim. Then again, in the event that I do everything that needs to be done, I'd really like to be able to see her.

Oh, but now I've written too much. I need to get back to studying so I can get this damn thing overwith and move on. Can anyone spare me some motivation? I'm running a little short.

I think I may have misinterpreted your words. When you say "Two kids working for Red Bull" you don't mean they were getting those energy drinks as salaries right?
» randomjunk on 2007-03-30 06:47:26

What's wrong with writing more than usual? Nada, mi amigo. Write on! >.> Okay, pretend I didn't say that. *cough* You did ballroom? Yay, another dancer! ;) You go study.
Motivation: You can do it! Yes, you can! *cheer* Gimme a R! Gimme an A! Gimme a...you get the idea. N-O-R! *cartwheel*
Okay, buh-bye.

Ahh, Moffett Field... how I stayed there in a pretty sketchy barracky-hotel room for several nights...
...how I totally *didn't* hook up with Justin Peterson, the hottest glaciologist from UC Santa Cruz EVER...

Now you work there! Yay! If they ever say that Pete Schultz is there, you should meet him and tell him that you know me and it will be sweet.

Do you have to have a like badge or something to get in? Awesome. By the way, I just read your schedule, and daaamn you are busier than your mom's pants these days.

ps- the stars in the sky... are as numerous as all the grains of sand on all the beaches in all the world...

yah, lolicopter, I saw your post on the military police wall, you saucy dog, you. You know we'd all hit that. Except for then we'd all be made into sawdust by C. Would it be worth it?

one of my friends once worked for Lockheed for a summer on one of the satellites, and when her internship was over they took away her badge and then escorted her from the building!
So how long is your internship then?
» Zanzibar on 2007-03-30 10:35:20

yeah, wow, come to think of it... you don't know where that thing has been. Better to go back in a time machine and get him back in the day. Back when he was most vulnerable.

even though it was boring at least you got to talk to people. That must have occupied some of your time.

You were on the ball room dancing team? I wish we had something like that at my HS. I did play football, but I'm sure dancing would've helped me with my balance/confidence/alot of other things.
