Just Another Drive Back Home

I had a random encounter on my way back home Thursday night. I was dropping off my roommate in Woodland Hills so that her boyfriend could pick her up. Her boyfriend ended up being about 30 minutes late because he got pulled over. I decided to drive around instead of just waiting there. My roommate insisted on me leaving her, but how could I leave a girl by herself at a gas station at 11:30 at night. That would be ridiculous. I could never do that.

We ended up in a donut shop. We grabbed a donut then I had to use the bathroom. There was a gas station next door so we walked over to it. As we were walking toward it, a car pulls up with a guy and a girl in the vehicle. The girl gets out of the car and runs into the gas station. I walk in right behind her. She runs up the attendant slips him something, which he slips her something in return, and then she runs back out into the car. I could have sworn that it was sort of drug or drug paraphernalia, but I decided not to say anything for the time being. I walked up to the cashier and asked if I could use the bathroom. He replied rudely with a, "Not for you!" And I was appalled, because he was a complete jerk. I was about to turn around and leave until my roommate butted in and said "How about we buy something?" He said, "Ok, then you can use the bathroom." I'm sure his rudeness had something to do with us walking in on his "drug deal."

We walk outside and I ask my roommate, "was there anything strange about that whole incident?" And she said no. So I told her about what I thought I saw, and she thinks it is strange how the girl just runs in there and then leaves after slipping the cashier something in her hand. So she starts freaking out, because both of us were witnesses to a drug deal. We both decide to leave asap because it was almost midnight by this point and that whole incident was freaky.

Truly a really random incident.

My How the Times Fly by....

I would just like to point out that I have made some form of progress since my last utterly depressing post. I am taking that first step that I need, and hopefully finding some piece of mind. Until then, I know the path will be rigorous, and it is something that I must deal with under my own terms. Let us hope that things do not go astray.

Onto a different tangent....I registered for spring quarter already. My last quarter before senior year....My classes are listed as follows:

Anthro 148A-Comparative Ethnicities
Film 101T-History of Television
Film 163-Women and Film

My one concern for spring quarter is the fact that I will be missing about a week and a half of school toward the end of the quarter because of my family trip to Peru. I am of course ridiculously excited about this trip, but I have not talked to my professors about missing class. I know that I should not have a problem with 101T because I have 4 other friends taking the class, and I am really close to the professor that teaches 163 who already said it should not be a problem. Hopefully it will work out and not completely screw up my gpa.

I also realized that after spring quarter, I only need 10 more classes to graduate....That is absolutely terrifying to me. This could potentially mean that I can finish a quarter or two earlier. I am definitely going to take the first session of summer school, but I'm not too sure about the second. If I do both, this also cuts down on my time at UCSB. I am considering finishing early and just spending the rest of my time at UCSB working and starting to study hardcore for the LSATs. I think it would be better this way just because I would save much money on tuition, and since I can't end my lease, I might as well stay and make money.

I cannot believe that I am going to graduate so soon......It scares me quite frankly. I am still unsure about my path in life, and knowing that it is a measly 10 classes after this year does not make it any better.....
