Yesterday was the official start of the rain season here at UCSD. Apparently for the next ten days, it’s going to be raining (semi hard / semi not hard). Today it was actually really hard, and I took a picture of my balcony view, because it looked nice in the dark, although it’s quite hard to see the rain in the picture. But rain is a good thing, not because Luke Bryan says so, but because it brings me back to the days of my youth…. and INDOOR RECESS. I liked recess as a kid, but I liked indoor recess more because I didn’t have to do any physical activity… hence developed a growing obsession with playing boardgames.! In the words of JoJo, But I had to let go of the pain, let love rain down on me. Cause you helped me open up my eyes, show me things I could never see. Cause we can fight and we make up. Wanna see you when I wake up. I’m staying with you only. Cause I need you to show me how our love should really be.
Anyway, today I woke up, had lunch with Geetha at Pines, went to class, and then went to my ICRA office hours. It was strange because the computer guy helped me set up the computer manually, but then I find out later that it was already set up the day before. Shrug. Geetha & Cindy ended up crashing my office hours, and we made posters, while listening to some Luke Bryan in honor of the rain. We then went to Goodies to get some dinner before the big executive board meeting where Amul, Lauren, Jorge, Windi, Adam, Rashika, and Bee-John joined us. Adam and Windi simulated being martians and wasted quite of bit of peanut butter and jelly in doing so. At the end of the meeting, we all shuttled back to our apartments. Rashika & Geetha was going to go to Earl’s, but becasue it was raining so hard, they decided to take refuge at my place in an effort to escape the rain. In doing so, we played (with Amul) a round of Loaded Questions, Rashika left, we went to SAC and rented/watched Cloverfield. It was a decent movie, because I actually felt a sense of attachment to the characters. Then Rashika came back, and we watched Shutter Island. I still really don’t like the movie, feeling it was really slow. That’s just my opinion though. Then we stayed up till about 4:30 AM talking. Now that’s when you know you have really good friends, when you can stay up for countless hours talking about useless things. It’s okay, we all needed to vent anyway. Afterwards there was a slumber party, where I ended up sleeping on the floor, and Rashika & Geetha took my blanket. Good night !
