Subject: LOLOL.

I just opened my Williams’ email. And saw an email recruiting me for the CIA. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I am so amused. Maybe it’s like what my aunt said earlier - they’re looking for more Asian American women to join (so that they could go seduce the hell out of those Asian politicians). Just kidding. I’m sure that a bunch of other people have received the same email as I have. Anyways, I have no intention of joining, thus that’s why I’m writing about it.

I’m in the hospital right now for my 10th round. Joy. I’ve been trying to delude myself. I keep on thinking about how it’s only 5 days. The first 2 days will be okay, and then the days will progress faster, and soon before I know it…I’ll be back in my own comfortable bed. Of course, I doubt that I’ll be able to hold up this illusion for long, but so far it’s working all right. Anything that will make me tolerate this hellhole will do. I’ve also tried telling myself that this would the perfect time to just sit and read and chat online with my friends; usually at home, my mom forces me to do more than just sit there. But at the hospital, she relents because they’re much more distracting than anything else.

Also, more news about the macbook. When Patrick, my friend from Wiliams was visiting, he showed me how my new laptop could post videos on facebook walls. Since then, I’ve been amusing myself by posting random video posts on my friends’ walls. I’ve also watched said video posts of myself…and have come to a startling conclusion. I sound like a dumb, ditzy Valley girl (and may also look the part, except with red hair instead of blonde). Not even kidding. I say like a lot, giggle unnecessarily, and basically sound stupid. I don’t use big words and act like I haven’t left the petty days of high school. FUDGE. I was hoping I’d sound more intelligent. At least, I thought I sounded a lot more intelligent and classy a few months ago. Ugggggh. I guess the silver lining in this is the fact that maybe now guys won’t feel so intimidated by me? Or no. I think guys would also be turned off by dumb sounding girls. After all, I wouldn’t give a guy a chance if I knew he couldn’t string two sentences together coherently.  

So. I’ve decided that it’s time for me to pull out those 1000 SAT vocab words every junior in high school should know. I’m going to start looking those over so that I can start stunning everyone with my witty banter and sophisticated vocabulary (Hmm…I wish). And then maybe I won’t feel like I’ve lost at least 50 points from my IQ.

Hmmm. More updates. OH. To my surprise, my oncologists (Dr. Garfen and Dr. Dahl)looked up the article I wrote for the Record and ACTUALLY FOUND IT. Without me sending the link. LOLOL. I feel rather guilty though, because I didn’t mention them in it. And they’ve been rather instrumental in saving my life. (It’s kind of like biting the hand that feeds you). So, when I’m all better and back at Williams in the fall, I’m going to make sure that I write a new article and include them in it. And hopefully it’ll get published again.

Speaking of Williams, all I can think of is housing. I’m probably going to pick in with my friends who are in Spencer. I’m praying that we’ll get singles in Morgan…but knowing how West is now quiet housing…I think most of the seniors and juniors are going to snatch up rooms in Morgan. Morgan apparently has a weird layout, but it’s in the center of everything. It’s also across the gym. Perhaps I’d feel more of an incentive to go if I knew I’d only have to walk 50 feet to get to it. But anyways. I don’t think we have a high chance of getting into Morgan. Darn. But Mark Hopkins/Bryant sounds nice, since it basically has the Frosh Quad layout. I don’t mind a smaller room; it might be a good thing because then I’d have less space to decorate (and then maybe I won’t spend that much money to decorate…) Plus, Greylock has decent food. It’s next to the ‘62 center, so I won’t need to run across campus if I want to catch a concert. And it’s not too far away from Paresky and everything else, at least compared to Tyler Annex. I wonder what they’re going to do to fix the Spencer neighborhood dilemma though…since I don’t think there are enough rooms. Maybe more people will switch out now that there’s no penalty for switching neighboorhoods? (aka: I’m hoping seniors and juniors will switch out so that we can get rooms in Morgan.) I’ll keep on hoping.
