Recently I've noticed that I'm surrounded by serious noise pollution. Part of this is my own fault. I wake up to my extremely annoying alarm clock (maybe 3 times in one morning, depending on how tired I am that day), and start playing music when I'm getting ready, as well as listening to my ipod when I have time to kill. As I walk towards classes, there's construction everywhere, people bustling in the Infinite, more construction near my lab, teachers talking, etc. I also have the misfortune of having a room in the central part of my dorm, so I can always hear the elevator door opening and closing, people pset-ing out in the lounge in front of my room, or people chatting in the hallway. Even last Saturday, my neighbor had a mini party in his room, and sadly his bass shares the same wall as my bed. So, needless to say, I was listening to his flippin music till 4am.
But now, at almost 3:30am, I realize everything is silent (well, except for the buzz of my laptop, but this is inevitable). Being in silence is actually a weird feeling, which itself is weird because back in high school I absolutely could not study without silence. It's quite sad and funny how I've been just sitting here for the past 15 minutes just soaking in the silence. Just thought I'd share this strange feeling with y'all.
Other updates of my life: 1) My computer apparently has 41 viruses. yay. I'm definitely going to IS&T tomorrow to shell out $90 for them to completely erase my hard drive since I don't know the first thing about computers let alone trying to locate these viruses. 2) I'm watching more TV than ever: Glee, How I Met Your Mother, and Project Runway (and once it's 2010, then Lost). 3) I'll be in LA all of January! Will be studying for MCATs though, so nothing too crazy. But I'm also 21 by then, so knowing me, I'll probably go explore my fair share of bars. I definitely want to go to the Standard Rooftop Bar and the Edison, both I believe is either in or near West Hollywood. Does anyone care to join? 4) John Mayer's new album is finally coming out on November 17th! Gah...after three years of waiting, it's finally here!!! His new single "Who Says" is out, so you guys should check it out. 5) Current musical obsessions: Rachael Yamagata (again), Barcelona, A Fine Frenzy (again), Grizzly Bear, and strangely, the Far East Movement (don't ask why...I just really like them!). 6) When it comes to food, I go in weird cycles. So I'm now eating tortilla chips and salsa all the time now. The last time I had this phase was freshman year in high school whoa!
7) I saw Ben Afflek twice and Blake Lively from Gossip Girl once this past month and a half. 8) sorority update- I have an awesome Little! Her name is Chrystelle Kiang, and she's from Haiti. She's the best and I love her a lottttt. It's fun being both a friend and a mentor for someone. 9) I've been so bad this semester, and I've gone out almost every weekend. However, this past weekend I was actually anti-social and stayed in. Friday night was epic- watched Rear Window and Vicky Christina Barcelona by myself in my room, and I liked it. 10) It's freakin snowing already! wtf???
That is all. Miss you guys, and sorry for my lack of posts!

Come visit me in January!!! I have a much better living place than last year and you can totally study here! Plus I have tv (w/HD and DVR) so you can watch all your shows. So ideal.
Hahahaha. I remember how you would always complain how you could only study in absolute silence. You would never study with us for that reason, and you would hole yourself up in the library or at home. Ahhhhhh.... good times, good times.
