Today was a relatively long day, so forgive me if I stumble through all the mumbo-jumbo. I would wake up, do P90x, and then go to Price Center to put up some UCSD Cares posters. I went ahead and snapped a picture of one of the locations where I put them up, and I think it provides a good contrast between my work and other people lazily walking around campus not working. (The Haves vs. the Have nots). I proceeded to eat at Price Center, but then I bumped into Jessica, and we talked for a bit. We gossiped, and somehow we got onto the topic of Ash Wednesday. I was shocked but then suddenly remember – that means my “No non-water drinks” pledge for lent begins officially today. It was really sad, cause I didn’t even get a chance to consume the Naked juice I bought yesterday, half of which remains in my refrigerator still. After bidding Jessica fairwell, I made my way to class. After class, I would 1) go to a WTCC meeting 2) go to the One Stop desk to look for Tiffany to talk about UCSD Cares. Unfortunately she was not there today. 3) Go to Foodworx to eat a disgusting salad (did I mention it was disgusting?), and surprise Geetha for a bit.
I would go to my last Video Game Studies class of the quarter, where we dissected the question of whether or not video games cause violence. I’m still divided over picking a side in the debate between the idea of an “active media” or an “active user”. After, me and Tyler would walk over to NRHH, where at the meeting, we got free Pizza! Granted, it wasn’t very good, but it was relatively easy for me cause I was hungry still from that disgusting salad. In between NRHH & ICRA, I had a conversation with Windi where we hashed out some of our differences, not really coming to a definitive conclusion. At ICRA we came up with event ideas with Disneyland and the Price is Right inevitably winning out. DARN, I really wanted Mud Wrestling too! After the meeting Windi chatted to us about the failures of our Toy Story Event (our commitee: Amul, me, Bee-John, Geetha, & Rashika), and gave out some finals good luck gift bags to the entire executive board, as well as our ICRA sweaters. We all took a picture with it, but I ultimately rejected its usage as my picture of the day.
After the meeting, me, Alex, Lauren, & Amul would be driven back to warren, where Lauren, Amul, & I would discuss the happenings of the night among other things. When done, me and Amul would go to Geisel to study, where we would bump into both Geetha and Bee-John. It was a relatively entertaining study session, as Rashika joined us later (after being lost), and I got much of my work done. After, we would all go to TapEx, at 11:59, right before it closed, and Bee-John would fail in ordering a drink (cause he wanted food to go along with it). I resisted my temptation to order a non-H2O drink at TapEx as me and Amul left to go to Earl’s. While there I would buy water (who does that?), and also apple slices as sort of a patch for my juice/soda cravings. Oh well!. 39 days to go. Happy Ash Wednesday all.
