8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.
The End of Poverty by Jefferey Sachs is an interesting read so far. I have to read it for Economic Development class and I only got up to page 38 or 39 with the three hours I spent at Borders. I would explain into detail what I've read, but then I wiki'd it and this sums it up better than I could right now.
Before I went to Borders, I went to Habit Burger. Yum yum! When I ordered, the person before me forgot their cup. So when I finished ordering, I picked up my cup and his cup and put it on his table. He was thankful and asked me to sit with him since he wasn't eating with anyone. I don't think he knew I wasn't eating with anyone, but he asked me anyway. So I figured since I wasn't eating with anyone, I'd join him lol Very odd, but I couldn't think of any ways to politely not eat with him. But I did enjoy talking to him.
His name is Wes. He's a peculiar high schooler from Antioch who came to UCD to take some GE's and experience Davis life for when he comes here to study Aeronautics. He didn't seem like a very sociable person, repeating what he says a lot. Our introductions were funny though because I told him my name is Tim and he kept saying Tiff. Funny way of speaking but sometimes when I do hear people say Tiff, I think they're saying Tim. But he distinctly was saying Tiff! I accepted it anyway lol He seems like a nice kid and seems to be enjoying Davis. I think he will like it when he actually starts undergrad here.
There was also a cute little girl at Habit Burger. I took a picture. I'm not a pedophile lol She walked up and down the aisle saying LALALA really loud haha cutie! Also, my double char burger with cheese and french fries was quite delectable! I love burgers. Burgers, fries, and pizza. I can never get sick of those. A bit on the expensive side here, but tastes better than In n Out. Plus they always grill the onions and add pickles. And there are lots of condiments on the side to get like ketchup (duh), chili peppers, pepperoncinis, bbq sauce, and etc
Also, the shirt I was wearing is doomed for stains. I've gotten a bloody nose and spilled blood on it. Today, I spilled some of my ice cold coffee drink on it. Partly a reason I spent so much time to ready 40 pages of a book was because I was in the restroom trying to get the stain out (plus I read slooow). It's pretty much gone though.
And today is too hot. I don't remember this summer being this hot last year! Check out the temperature reading on my car...
Just too darn hot. The drink I drank at Borders was deeeelicious... until the end that is. It was the Chocolate Coffee Crunch iced drink. Real coffee beans crushed into it. Very bitter at the end of the drink but tasty until then! I would order it again. I always feel bad going to Borders, reading their book, and putting it back on the shelf. They're still a business and I will support them if I use their stuff or else they'll go out of business! Or I can just take advantage of all the people who actually BUY books and keep reading at Borders for free. Meh, I can spend $3.20 for a drink rather than $18 for a book that I'll read once.
That's all I have to say for today. I probably had other things to say but forgot. I really should bring a notepad with me everywhere I go...
24 Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the LORD. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the LORD.
Life:
WHYYY!!!! are my legs so sore?! I always hate getting back into doing legs... They get super sore for the first couple weeks of workouts. The worst is when my glutes are majorly sore. They jiggle going down stairs and it hurts so bad! My legs haven't really grown that much though even though they're so darn sore. Tempted to take ibuprofen but that'll just make me weaker for a good day or two.
Anyway, trying hard this quarter. Gotta make it my last and go out with a bAng! A+ baby! But I better buy the books then... LOL or find 'em at the library... or SOMETHING. Gotta read a lot. Midterm is worth 40% of my total grade and final is worth 60%!!! This is gonna be crazy... Both have like 50% multiple choice... No chance for partial credit. So, I gotta know my stuff. Scary!
Well, not a scary dream in the sense of someone trying to kill me in my dream, or getting in a terrible accident. I was dreaming that somehow I skipped all going to class for this one econ class and skipped the final. This would set me back a quarter so I really wanted to pass. But I had totally missed the final (because I was at the supermarket or something and it had computers for me to check my final's date). I was all flustered in my dream and it scared me! I woke up a couple of times and fell back asleep... right into continuing where I left off in the dream! Not cool. Thank goodness that wasn't real.
But it did send some urgency into my academic life since I want this to be THE LAST quarter I'm here in Davis. I am giving way too much money and time to a school just to give me a diploma in a major that I didn't even do that well in. So I will say cheers to when I am done with schooling here because I really did waste two years of my life here, academically. It was definitely a great experience to get out of my home in SF, but I'm ready for the pressures of school to be done with. I really am just a terrible exam taker...... I don't think it accurately reflects my intellect... It's so odd because I always get comments like, "You must get good grades," or "You must be really smart, huh?" Why MUST I be? lol I don't know what part of my personality or speech makes me seem smart, but seeming and being are not the same. What a shame.
