It's cold and rainy and I don't really want to work...

Basically yeah. When it rains in Los Angeles, IT SUCKS. Unlike the rain I'm used to in Hawai'i, the rain here is cold. Plus, the air is cold. And the wind makes everything worse. So I'm sitting in my apartment with the heater on max and the whole place to myself since the other two girls that live here are never to be found.
Today, we had a holiday party for work at the Viterbi School of Engineering Student Affairs division. The food and dessert was amazing! Spiral-sliced ham, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, fudge brownies, chocolate tuxedo cake, and more. Yum. But at the same time, I think that's when I finally realized I have to do work. This whole weekend, I was pretty much cruising. There was tailgating on Saturday morning, followed by the fail football game against U. of Arizona and the fail volleyball game against U. of Hawai'i. Yup, the University of Hawai'i women's volleyball team played in the Galen Center on Saturday against USC in the first round of the NCAA tournament. And sadly, the Trojans lost. Yesterday, I slept in until 12-something and then went to eat brunch at Parkside since I was too lazy to make anything. Then I came back, worked on my ISE 232 report, video chatted with an old friend, and went to meetings. Yay.
As USC tradition dictates, you are supposed to plan what you'd like to do in the summer before the fall semester even ends. So that's what I've been trying to do for the past couple of weeks. I submitted my resume to Boeing's summer engineering internships in the Seattle/Tacoma area, and made it past the first round of reviews (surprisingly). Just now, I finished writing a personal statement for the Global Fellows application, which is through the USC career center. The program places students in internships based on their fields of study in Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Beijing, and Shanghai. And they pay for your transportation and rent, which is pretty sweet. If none of these things work out, I might look for something at HECO, Hawaiian Air, Pearl Harbor, or Hoku Scientific back at home.
I have a Korean Lit paper due in 9 days in which I am supposed to analyze excerpts of literature from the North and the South and explain, through the lenses of these works, why the two Koreas behave as we outsiders perceive them. It's such a simple yet complicated topic that I'm beside myself. Plus I am hungry, which makes matters worse. And I should really use my meal plan except I'm sick of campus food. Oh my silly dilemmas. I should just drink some hot chocolate.
