Making a bucket list of things to do in Sacramento before I graduate and leave the city I've lived in the past 2 years. I'm gonna write this out, and post it on here... ah, 5 more weeks of instruction and then finals. My undergrad years are finally coming to a close.
One of these things is definitely telling a few (un)lucky people how I really feel about them. It's always good to get these things off of your chest.
Another random one is gonna be, "Have dinner with my closest friends that I've met in Sactown."
I'm enjoying the thought process. :)
You take the good with the bad... and life keeps moving.

Currently...
Currently,
I'm in the AIRC, not really studying or anything... Blogging actually at the moment.
Actually the purpose of my being here is to write my personal statement for graduate schools. So far here's what I've got written... And yes, I've revised this many times; trying to think of the best way to word it. It may need much more revising after this. Here's my "attention-getter"...
"As a young boy growing up in the city of San Francisco, one day my mother asked me, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I always remember my answer being, “I want to be a successful businessman working in downtown San Francisco, and I want a briefcase.” At the age of 8, I was very interested in business; how it was structured, and how money was made within the walls of a company’s building. Life has since then progressed, now finding myself studying psychology as my major. I have a passion to understand how people function; how people think, how people act, and therefore make predictions about their future behavior based on the study of psychology. My childhood aspiration has now evolved into an interest in the field of Industrial/Organizational Psychology. My purpose of wanting to pursue a graduate education is to blend the two: my childhood dream, and my passion, into a meaningful career."
-Yes, more work needs to be done... but it's a work in progress.
- I'll be applying to SFSU and SJSU soon. Not applying to Sac State anymore since I missed the Psyc GRE registration deadline. Hopefully I get into SF State (It's a 2-year MS program), it'll be a welcome transition for me because I grew up in San Francisco. I miss living in the city by the bay.
-At least in 2 months, I'll be back where I belong... If all goes according to plan.

OCTOBER 7, 2010
Referring back to my October 7th post,
This was the year. We did it. All these bandwagon fans have been watching only the past 3 weeks of baseball. This goes out to all the fans, who have been DIE-HARD GIANTS fans since they were young.
We are WORLD CHAMPIONS. Nobody can take that away from us.

Life
"I don't know exactly WHERE life is taking me right now, but I trust God will guide me down the right path."
So, I'm pretty much saying this now (and this might be premature, but hey) ... After I graduate, I will likely move BACK to San Francisco. It's the most practical option at this point. It's bittersweet that I have to leave Sacramento, but I can't survive here on my own. I need to be with family. No job, a degree that won't get me anywhere besides a job where I ask people, "Would you like fries with that?", and no place to live. Being a college graduate does NOT mean I'm ready to move into the real world, at least with my degree. I need at LEAST a Master's degree to be able to market myself in the Psychology field where I can actually apply my Psyc knowledge in a career.
So therefore, I'm applying to two schools: SFSU & SJSU in order to attain my Master's in I/O Psychology. I need to attain this degree so I know my 4.5 years of undergraduate studies were actually worth the time, effort, and money. I want to work in the field that I'm majoring in. That's basically my current "life" goal.
As for the short term, I'm saddened that I'll likely be leaving my past 2 years of life as I know it here, and transitioning back into the city-life that is San Francisco. I'm gonna miss all the friendships I've created here, but life has it's reasons; who am I question it?

Stolen phone? Weighing the possibilities.
Pros
Cons
smdwifta, yeah, you. haha.
- I get to use my iPhone as a phone now, and not just an iTouch
- I might get the T-Mobile G2 instead
- I might actually get my phone back if the people at 24 were telling me the truth
- WiFi would work on my new phone
Cons
- Less money
- New 2-year contract
- Still have an iPhone being used as an iTouch. Lawl.
smdwifta, yeah, you. haha.

Union
There are some seriously retarded people (i.e., Freshman) who chill on the 2nd floor of the union who have no consideration for others. They must think it's ok to wake me by laughing and jumping around near me. You guys are annoying the crap out of me right now. Just thought I'd put that out there.

fall line 09
This week is gonna be hectic, so I'm gonna need to stay on top of everything. At least there's something to look forward to at the end of the week, the band trip to Santa Cruz. I'm pretty sure it'll be somewhat fun... emphasis on somewhat.
Right now, the chemistry of this year's drumline doesn't match the cohesiveness of last year's drumline (too many space cadets this year). I really miss all you guys, Imin, Davyan, Alex.... Y'all really had to leave Sactown to bigger and better things didn't you?!?!?! Oh well, haha I just miss y'all... we had wayyyyy tooo much fun last year.
Sac State Fall line 09 was a tight ass season, and I miss it.
