Work is disappointing. It didn't help that I wasn't feeling well all this week, but my female coworkers and I aren't clicking at all. I get along well with one of them, and my boss and the manager. Jen is nice an willing to talk to me, especially if I start the conversation. Kelly and Kathy will talk, but they're not as openly friendly, Jess and Anna even less so. I never see AJ, so that's moot, and Aaron's a quiet guy, not very talkative at all. Tristan, the one guy that I got along with well, quit coming even one day a week because his student teacher job turned into a real teacher job when the teacher he was helping went on maternity leave.

I always feel like I'm intruding if I try to join a conversation, and it generally doesn't last if I try to start one. I keep hearing them talk about plans that apparently everyone is invited to except me: Jess's birthday party, Kelly's trip to the snow, Kathy's birthday. I know I'm the new girl and they don't know me very well yet, but it hurts to hear Kelly say, "I want to go to the snow again -- want to go with me tomorrow, Anna?" while she's standing right next to me. Jess talked all about her extensive plans for her birthday party; she was taking a limo to a club with friends and something about VIP roof access or something and several people from work were going... I wanted so much to make friends at work, and after being there for two months I feel like just as much of an outsider as I was on my first day. I just want a few friends that I can see and have drinks and laugh with. Is that too much to ask?

My roommate said I could make a good stripper. I don't know whether I should be offended or complemented.


Happy New Year everybody! Better late than never, right? New Years Eve was pretty spectacular. There was a semi formal party, drinking, and tons of friends and new people. My camera died an hour into it, so I didn't get too many picture. I apparently either drank way too much or ate way too little, because I got too drunk too fast and had a killer hangover the next day. Yup, I started my first day of the new year feeling sick... and found out by that evening that I really was sick, too. January 1st: massive hangover + monster cold. I hope this isn't a preview of the year to come! I watched a movie with my family (Cloverfield?) that night and I cannot remember the last time I was that miserable. I couldn't breathe too well, my nose was a mess, my throat burned from throwing up earlier, and I had tons of pressure in my sinuses that refused to go away. Gah, I think I STILL have the remnants of that damn cold.

The good news is, I have a job! Yay for returning to LARC to tutor! Honestly, I really like tutoring. It's a chance to get to know people and to talk about a subject that I love. I had my first three sessions in nearly 9 months today. It went pretty well, given the fact that I didn't have a worksheet for today and we had very little to actually go over (only one lecture on very basic material so far). I'm really excited to be back. It's a fairly enjoyable job that pays well, especially for an on-campus job.
 
To Do:
-Call and start volunteering at the zoo!
-Apply to vet offices, paid or unpaid, I really don't care at the moment
-Tell Misty I'm not coming back to lab this quarter... or next... or ever
-Cell lab prelab assignments
-Roman Empire readings

So! I may have a job. If all works out, I will be returning to LARC (Learning and Academic Resource Center) to tutor for Drugs and the Brain, a neurobiology/biopsychology course. Wheeee I love this professor! Of the ten quarters I've been at UCI, I've spent seven of them in her classes, either taking them or tutoring. I really, really miss tutoring ad hey! it's good money. Hopefully this will all work out!!
