Updates!
I am quickly becoming a very busy person hahaha. I have Venus (Ultimate Frisbee) practice every Tuesday and Thursday, with tournaments on some weekends. ISC Steering Committee meetings every week, Ad-Com meetings every other week, might be a tutor for Communitech (Technology-focused community service group. Mom, I might get them to build an iGK office! They've built computer centers in Ghana.) AND I think I'm getting a job. That last one excites me because 1. I'll have more spending money, 2. Less pressure on mom and dad to take care of me (tuition na lang, hindi ko pa kaya eh hahaha) and 3. it's not so demanding! I'll be at the Ware College House Help Desk, so I can actually do my homework when people aren't coming in with questions. Whoopee :)
So that's the first pattern. Second is all these weird random things keep happening to me. I have these "oh Anj Poe" moments that Ms. Pat would totally laugh at and not be surprised about at all.
1. I accidentally threw my keys out with my garbage, as in, INTO the trash compactor, so i couldn't get them back and had to pay for a lock-change and new sets of keys.
2. I keep TRIPPING on Locust Walk in front of so many people. Sorry, mom, I haven't stopped shuffling my feet.
3. I almost fractured my toe the other day. (Mom you're going to get a $35 charge for x-ray services lol) I got out of bed in a hurry (woke up late, figures) without realizing that my right leg was asleep. I put my whole body weight on it as i was trying to stand up and ended up crumbling on top of myself. I was on the floor, writhing in pain (imagine 100+ pounds concentrated on top of your little toe!) and laughing at the same time because i was thinking: what the hell just happened that was so stupid! haha it just hurt a bit on the first day, but by the second day the right half of my right foot had turned purple. i was limping around school. so yeah i went to student health services who in turn had me get an x-ray at the hospital, but no worries -- no fracture. the bruising has started to subside, so it's all good now. i can run again :P
4. on my way to student health services, i saw the weirdest thing! apparently it's common here in philly, but that was my first encounter with it so i was shocked and frankly quite afraid: there was, like, a whole SCHOOL of kids (African American, mostly. ok not mostly. they were all African American) running towards one end of the street. i asked some guy what was going on and he said: "those dang teenagers! another street fight." dude there were COPS, and that whole thing was happening in exactly the direction i was walking towards. the guy could see i was scared and he said: "oh don't worry honey, just walk right past em. they're fighting on the other end of the street." haha so i rushed past about a hundred excited high schoolers and maybe 5 upset cops to get to my check-up appointment. lol
5. not as exciting, but still noteworthy: i saw a dead pidgeon by the Franklin building. as in, it looked like a hobo asleep on the sidewalk...except it was a dead pidgeon. :(
more to come! :P
