Bacc That Mass Up

Whoa, has it seriously been exactly one year since I was sitting on the Liccardo Lawn for Baccalaureate Mass? I randomly remember getting new glasses the same day too. haha Anyways, I just wanted to post this poem they read during the mass. It really puts things into perspective for me.



"In the evening we shall be examined on love" by Thomas Centolella

In the evening, we shall be examined on LOVE.
And it won’t be multiple-choice,
though some of us would prefer it that way.
Neither will it be essay, which tempts us to run on
when we should be sticking to the point, if not together.
In the evening, there will be implications
our fear will turn to complications. No cheating,
we’ll be told, and we’ll try to figure the cost of being true
to ourselves. In the evening, when the sky has turned
that certain blue, blue of exam books, blue of no more
daily evasions, we shall climb the hill as the light empties
and park our tired bodies on a bench above the city
and try to fill in the blanks. And we won’t be tested
like defendants on trial, cross-examined
till one of us breaks down, guilty as charged. No,
in the evening, after the day has refused to testify,
we shall be examined on Love, like students
who don’t even recall signing up for the course
and now must take their orals, forced to speak for once
from the heart and not off the top of their heads.
And when the evening is over and it’s late,
the student body asleep, even the great teachers
retired for the night, we shall stay up
and run back over the questions, each in our own way:
what’s true, what’s false, what unknown quantity
will balance the equation, what it would mean many years from now
to look back and know
We did not fail.

Definitely not feeling this bi-weekly blogging schedule of been on but I've been too lazy. Not like there's much to discuss anyways. My life's pretty boring and mundane. If I were to blog more often it'd relate to school and grades. I hate how academics get in the way of enjoying college. haha Anyways, I've realized how much I miss my sisters. I miss waking up to my sister blasting N*SYNC in the morning before she went to school. Wait, did I just said that?! haha! At the same though, I've always felt pretty detached from them. They're only two years apart while I have a 5 and 7 year gap with them. For the longest time I felt like an outsider. But despite all that, I'm surprised how they've got my back even though they've been so protective of me my whole life. I had a good 2 hour long conversation last night with my sister. Felt good just telling her what's up. I don't think I've ever told her that much about how my life's going. How sad, haha. May 9, Asis kids unite! I'm counting down the days.

Spring Quarter! Week 1 is done with but it felt like it lasted forever. It's only been one week but I feel like I've already been here for a month. Word on the street is that Spring Quarter goes by the quickest so we'll see if that's true. I really want it to be summer already but strangely enough, I sort of don't want Spring Quarter to end. Sometimes I complain, b*tch, or whatnot about being here in SLO but I know I'll look back and miss this. At the same time, I'm extremely excited for 2nd year. haha I can't wait to live in PCV and bring my car down. So I don't know, as usual, my thoughts are jumping around. But anyways, it's a new quarter... there's a clean slate waiting for me to tarnish. haha That was such a quick turnaround. It doesn't seem like 3 weeks ago I was locking it down studying for finals though. I'm kinda disappointed with my final grades from Winter Quarter and I get upset when my parents congratulate me on getting a C. But whatever, it's a new quarter and I'm determined to do better. Def gonna try and finish this last quarter strong but live it up at the same time. haha. Alright, must cut this short... Chem in 8 hours!

Shoot, I wouldn't be surprised if I had bipolar disorder. I've been hella happy and hella depressed the past couple of weeks. I wasn't in a great mood at all yesterday and I realized that the more time I have to think about anything and everything, the more I feel down. I can't wait to go home and clear my head. I don't even know how to write how I feel. Oh well, Physics Final in 45 minutes. I'll be back.
