India + The Indian

Yesterday I went on a solo adventure + studying session on SD's India Street. I love India Street because it has so many food places within walking distance of eachother + some really interesting businesses such as Language World and the National Comedy Theatre.

It was surprisingly productive and convenient. Because I have recently misplaced my debit card I only $4 in cash + $12 in quarters. I was unsure if I wanted to use my parking change for food but I caved in a got some fresh corn tortillas and butter for a whopping $0.80! Haha, how can I say no to butter?! I parked "fo' free" at the El Indio parking lot &enjoyed the perfect SD weather while grinding away at five weeks of accelerated electricity &magnetism material.

I eventually moved down the street to Gelato Vero Caffe, grabbed a perfectly petite cup of coffee, &headed to their upstairs space + Language World. Its a nice place to go to study, relax, &hang out with friends or alone. Its a chill place with a history of loss.

Not much to blog about lately...

Next week when I get my camera back I plan to take on a random, "spontaneous" bus ride to nowhere...

Ok, so it's slightly planned.

I'll tell all about it.

LTEU 110/European Romanticism/"Let's Get Wasted Literature"

I'm taking European Romanticism this quarter.
In retrospect, or shall I say "naive-ity-spect", everything I've thought about the subject has been slightly "dumbed down"?. Well for the lack of words, I'll leave it at that for now. No, I can't say I'm disappointed. If anything it just makes me more excited. Before taking this class my enthusiasm for Romanticism was like at a "yay we're going to Disneyland" level, as opposed to right now where it's reached the "I'm so noncholant at this point because it's so damn great" level. Sure, I found out or shall I say realized today while in class that really all that Romanticism is hyped up to be is just a bunch of insane and drunk writers, poets, and other pseudo-artists being in a drunken state writing about nature and what not... but really, you can't deny greatness if you've stumbled upon it. I recommend this class. The professor let's you out early like almost every class, it's a bonus I think. He just kind decides on a whim... "Ok, class is done I think".

Atari Overload

Last Thursday we dominated the giant joystick located in Warren College of UCSD
aka The Magical College.

Too bad today was the last day. :(

New exhibit of interest.


ERWIN REDL: MATRIX II @ La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art
(I already went.)

Joystick

Apparently we have a giagantic joystick on campus at UCSD.

"The play sculpture is a working, large scale game interface designed for collaborative play, by the artist and media theorist Mary Flanagan."

This is very Culture Art Technology (CAT), Sixth College's theme, which probably explains how I stumbled upon a flier for it in the 6th Hub.

Academia

" You can be my alphabet and I will be your calculator" - Sia

So here we are in the second quarter/semester of our college careers. Yupp. I hope that all is well for my fellow SSD-ers in whatever they are doing respectively. And of course, I hope everyone else is just swell whereever you are. Spreading your wings among other not so cliche experiences. Well, for once I am in Chula Vista &do not have work on Saturday. Free time is a very odd occurrence in my weekly schedule. Now that I have a Saturday off I am faced with the decision between "Have fun Elma you deserve it" plan or the "Use this time wisely to be productive/study" plan. Ideally, I will find a happy medium in between because this past week's studying/school events have left me drained in so many ways. My body is aching &temples are throbbing with the resurgence of a recurring headache. Eh, eh, eh.

This too shall pass.

Anywho, I vote to stay optimistic amidst of everything that is thrown our way. I know that even if we don't see each other often we still support one another. Nothing can get us down.

I believe I believe I believe.

Springtime San Diego!

There's currently half the population of Roosevelt College laying out half-naked on the ERC Green... not a pretty sight for the most part. Rolls, and no I don't mean dinner rolls 0_0. Yep, that is spring for me. Loves, it.

TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS

to write love on her arms is a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for those struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.

so, today, write something on your arm; write about love and hope; write the name of a person you'd like to dedicate this day to. write for all those people who are alone to show that we are all connected.

let's make valentine's day really about love. 

RIP CREATIVITY

on perezhilton.com today, i read something that just killed my week.

"This is a sad day.
An essential part of our childhood is going into extinction.
Polaroid has announced that they will stop making Polaroid instant cameras and film.
For reals!s
Instead, the company is going to focus on making digital cameras and manufacturing TVs."

i don't even know how to respond to this; i was going to document my life with those polaroids. so, i guess all we can do now is stock up for this long never-ending winter.

:(

edit. a little bit of light to this situation.

where you at!?

this question pertains to both my blogmates and the city itself.

it has seriously been TOO long since we had an SD adventure together. with all 3 of us most likely getting lost in a foreign country. (maybe not) this must be remedied ASAP!

&regarding SD the city. i feel obliged to note that telegraph canyon road in CV is becoming the new clairemont mesa. serious. there is a Sushi House, Pho place, and a new frozen yogurt place (the pinkberry kind not golden spoon type, mind you) called Pure.



its really something new that popped up right under our noses.
maybe we were too occupied watching movies at the new AMC to notice.

either way i'm happy to have more asian food places around CV.

come again, im happy whenever food is involved. :D

Wait a Minute 2008...

One post for the entire month of January... sad sad sad.

SSD reunion SOON I hope =(.

I love SD. I love life here.
