5/19 - Favorite Things This Quarter

there are a lot of small things that happened this quarter that have honestly put the biggest smile on my face. i’ve met some hands down amazing people that i know have my back. i’ve made crazy memories "working” at 4 AM at fireside, getting bplate, being coerced into eating at deneve, spending 24 hours tgoether and so much more. i really do think it’s the most fun you’ll never want to have again.

5/15 Weekly Reflection

1. What went well this week?

i got out of quarantine housing!! and im now in philly where i can see my family!! i missed them a lot so very happy to see them.

2. What was your greatest accomplishment or favorite memory?

my favorite memory was a special friday night on a rooftop. a lot of crazy things went down. also many things i dont remember so idk if i can even call it a memory at this point.

3. Who made you smile this week? Why?

my line and iris fam made me smile this when we went out to get kbbq and had a rlly fun time!!

4. What didn’t go well this week?

ive been very busy with managing school and club work that i feel like i havent really had time to talk to and appreciate family. even though im in philly now with family i feel like im still spending a majority time on my laptop trying to get everything done instead of being present in the moment and just having fun with them.

5. What did you waste time on the most this week?

i wasted a lot of time with friends at fireside when we were supposed to be productive.

6. Any negative thoughts or emotions affecting you?

i think ive just been really stressed about completing all the assignments for this week. im gone for a while this weekend because of my sisters graduation so i dont really have a lot of free time to grind out assignments so im worried that i wont be able to finish everything by the time its due :((

7. What needs to be done in the upcoming week?

i definitely need to catch up on school work and manage my time efficiently to get all my club assignments in.

8. Quote that inspired you this week

5/14 Daily Log

damn today has felt like a fever dream. i woke up at 7AM on a foreign couch and walked back to my dorm feeling nauseous and dizzy. i showered and then went to a health fair with my club friends. at the fair i was at the flyering booth so kayla, gian, and i went to a nearby grocery store to hand out flyers which was supa chill and fun!! afterwards, we went to go clean a nasty rooftop and then i headed back to my dorm. im flying out to philly to see my sister graduate this weekend, so as soon as i was back at my dorm, i packed my suitcase rq and then left for the airport!!! but it was a whole ordeal bc i realized that i forgot my entire wallet back in my dorm so i almost wasnt let through security but they let me through with my student id but they were real iffy about it and i searched it after and learned that that is not allowed! also my flight got delayed two hours but i had a connecting flight and i wouldve missed my connecting flight so i had to change my tickets but now imma be late to my sister’s graduation :(( so much stress is very little time not fun. anyway spend my night on an uncomfy airplane so wish me luck

jayden had a longgg day today. he woke up feeling quite terrible just like me but we both went to the healthfair and cleaned the rooftop together!! afterwards he went back to his dorm to do laundry and got dinner at the study!! ill miss him these next few days but ill see him sooooooon :)))

I’M BACK ON MY BPLATE GRIND YALL bplate everyday pls. afterwards i talked to some friends on zoom before going to meetfresh with kimi where we got this icy taro dish. solid 7.5/10. then i had an uc meeting before heading to get dinner with some super chill and friendly ppl!! i gotta grind tonight tho for my 7c midterm tomorrow so wish me luck!!

jayden had a CRAZY BUSY day today i dont know how he does it. he woke up at 7AM and got a study bagel DUDE I MISS STUdY BAGELS but then grinded out some emails. he then did the group phase for his 7A midterm, went to lecture for 7A, got panddaaaa , went to office hours for LS40, had an interview, went to HAPY meeting, had another interview, then went to a dinner event, and is now ending the night by finishing up some work and catching up on lectures.

YALL I TESTED NEGATIVE FOR COVID TODAY!! officially out on modified isolation YESSIIRRRR i took my rapid in the morning and then went to lab which was the first class i’ve been to in weeks. i had 7c discussion later in the day where i realized its rlly grind time before my midterm on friday. then i had a zoom call with some friends before grabbing takeout dinner from bplate with alan. it was strawberry fest night which was BUSTIN frfr. their strawberries were so juicy and sweet PEAK STRAWBERRY SEASON. then i went to ralphs with a friend who bought me EVEN MORE juicy strawberries im being blessed today. now im studyin with my friends who i havent seen in person in AGES. 

jayden had lab today where he worked on hella titrations (last thing im looking forward in 14bl) and he also took is 7A midterm which was not amazing not terrible which is pretty damn good honestly school be a struggle bus sometime. hopefully will see him for the first time in a LONG TIME at fireside tonight. PULL UP JP PULL UP 

OOPS how i progressed this year:

I think that I’ve grown a lot this year in that I’ve been more open with new people I’ve met this quarter. I think I’ve tried to show more vulnerability than I would have in the past. I think I’ve also learned to be more time efficient with my work, knowing what tasks I should spend more time on and how to prioritize important work. I think that being so busy this quarter, I’ve learned that there are some things that are definitely work smarter not harder. I’ve also learned a lot about failure and how to pick myself back up even when failing one or multiple times

today i woke up and was feeling hopeful since i thought i would get out on modified isolation today after taking a rapid. however, i tested positive on yet another rapid test :(( but thankfully i didnt test at ashe so i still have another opportunity to be negative. i hopped on a ft call with alan, jayden, joe, and ethan later where i watched them eat bomb vietnamese food from the food truck. in comparison, i received a giant chicken nugget with peas, carrots, and potatoes for dinner which was quite sus. then i called my other friend for a bit where she took me through ft on some apartment tours for summer subletting. i ended the day with a club meeting and now imma hang out with my kovid kweens. party at my place everyone’s invited!!! 

jayden had a productive day today!!! he did his laundry (shoot that reminds me i have to do mine too), hella hw, and other work in just a couple of hours!! he then ate the chipotle bbq turkey sandwich from the study which was apparently really good. arghhh the joys of eating good food. can’t relate. but super happy he had a good day hehe :))) MISS U JAYDEN we gotta do our excursion asap rocky

1. What went well this week?

i think i was finally able to catch up on a lot of the sleep i had been deprived of during past weeks

2. What was your greatest accomplishment or favorite memory?

my favorite memory was putting on random filters with my kovid kweens. psa: we all look hella swag in a mustache. would definitely date kayla as a guy. would definitely date amanda as a guy. would definitely date yasmine as a guy. would definitely date selene as a guy. would definitely date myself as a guy.

3. Who made you smile this week? Why?

my friends isha and alan made me laugh this week when they facetimed me for no good reason and screamed random stuff at me :D they also threatened me to recover faster from covid :D what amazing friends i have :D

4. What didn’t go well this week?

i got covid this week :(( so ive been stuck in my quarantine dorm feeling very bored, tired, lonely, and also getting massive fomo

5. What did you waste time on the most this week?

i wasted a lot of time literally doing nothing and just staring at my computer screen. with covid, i feel like i had a lot shorter attention span than usual and kept falling asleep when i tried to focus on anything. this was both good and bad as i feel like i finally caught up on sleep but that was also time i could have been being productive.

6. Any negative thoughts or emotions affecting you?

covid’s been making me really tired :(( i’ve also been very deprived of real social interaction which is kinda getting to my head. i miss my friends and my family a lot :((

i definitely need to catch up on school work. i have a midterm coming up on friday and i need to prepare for that!!

5/04 Qualities I like Most about Myself

I think the top quality that I pride myself in is my self-awareness. I think a lot about my words and actions before I act upon them, making sure that I’m deliberate to consider how others feel before myself. I am very aware of my own decisions and how they align with my own morals and standards. I think I have very distinct values that I live by and you can clearly see those values through how I hold myself. Another thing that I like about myself is my loyalty. My friends tell me that I am someone who they know will always be by their side no matter what and am someone they can trust with anything. To me, friends and family will always come before anything or anyone else, and those are the people I choose to deliberately spend my energy on because I want them to know that I care for them. 

JP Update: Jayden was decked out in NASA branded gear today and his fit was hella fly. I’m sad for ya’ll that didn’t see him today :(( He’s a little bit stressed about meeting quota for interviews this week but I believe in him!!! things are all over the place with the covid situation but we’re gonna get back on it
