Today was actually one of those unique days that seem really interesting just because you saw something new, or because you didn't something you've never done before.
So, at my State Farm office this morning, I did the usual filing, filling envelopes and shredding confidential documents. (Some of those documents that I file are of people I know...it's kinda weird.) Then Chuck, my boss, called me into his office and told me that he was planning for me to become an agent. An INSURANCE AGENT! That's SO cool. I'm going to be the youngest State Farm Agent in the area/district. Well, apparently I have to take classes first, and those are 8 hour-long classes on weekends.... :( So... that's the only downside. Then, after that I did something called cold-calling. That's where you call people and try to sell them something. Well, in my case I was calling small businesses out of the YellowPages and asking owners/managers if they wanted a "free quote on business and workers' compensation." A lot of the people that I called were rude, and some just plain hang up on me. Now I feel kinda sympathetic for all those telephone solicitors that call for a living. One of the places that I called was Boba Joe's, and I did my whole shpiel and talked with some girl that was employed there. Her voice sounded kinda familiar and so I asked "Who am I speaking to?" not realizing that that would probably be a little creepy for her to tell some random guy her name. Anyways, so she told me... and it turns out I was talking to JENNIFER CAO! hahahaha. I go to Boba Joe's when Kevin's working and sometimes I see her there, so it was one of those awesome coinkidinks. Wow...
So I rushed to school and I couldn't find a frikkin' parking space, and I was in the farthest lot from main campus. So... if there weren't any spaces there, there weren't any anywhere else. I was going to be late to class if I didn't park quick, so I just parked somewhere that looked not-too-illegal. You know those sections of the pavement that have white lines striped across them so that no one parks there? ...well, I parked there. I just figured that if the security officers realized that the lot was full, they'd just let it go cuz...after all I'm a student there and I DO have a parking permit. Later after I was in class, I realized that I had back-to-back classes and that I wouldn't be able to move my car and it would look really awkward for my car to be sitting there illegally especially when other persons' classes ended and they decided to leave empty parking spaces. Cuz, then the lot wouldn't look "full" and I would have no excuse to park there. Luckily after my first class, I saw Kevin...soon-to-be savior. He offered to walk all the way to the parking lot and repark my car, cuz he didn't have any class at that time. Yay.... THANK YOU KEVIN! He's like my CSUF student advisor/friend. haha.
So after my last class I headed with my friend, Kathy, to the library cuz she needed to finish an engineering lab with a partner, and I was going to be going to a meeting on campus in 30 minutes anyways. On the way there, we saw some guy dressed up in a monkey suit promoting something called Island Odyssey. Maybe some of you that are in college have heard of it. Anyways, its a program/business, that takes you to a country-this time it was promoting Austrailia- and provides transportation and full accomadations for everything for a pretty low price. And apparently you have 100% freedom and can do whatever the hell you want to do there, and also earn college units at the same time. Well, the monkey man was cool and he handed me a card, wanting me to convice others to go, and saying that I would make about $100 per person that I got to go. So...if anyone loves me...or wants to go to Australia for college units, give me a call!
So...Kathy and I got to the library and walked up to the foruth floor. On the way, I realized that I need to go back to the gym...I feel so frikkin' out of shape. Well, at the fourth floor I met her partner Lito (sp?). He was cool. He told us freshies a little bit more about the campus... the do's and don'ts... how you can bend the rules and when you can't. Then Kevin came after his class and met both Kathy and Lito.
After that I went to the Titan Tusk Force's first meeting. The Titan Tusk Force (TTF) is kinda like a group that has a hell of a lot of spirit for the CSU Fullerton. It's part of ASI...like ASB at high schools. The people there were really cool and so I joined the TTF. GO TITANS! I made a few friends like Deanna, Angela, and Pam. The first two are people that were, I think, on board of the TTF, and Pam is another person like me that was joining. Her and I are going to be the best freakin' members ever! We already showed dedication by helping carry stuff back from the meeting to their office. Ooooooo, I got free stuff too! YAY I love free stuff. I got a cup, a shirt, pens, a folder, a mega-phone thingy, fake tattoos that say "F" for Fullerton, and pizza. ALL FREE from TTF. It was like paraphrenalia heaven! I'm excited to be a part of it. I get to scream at sporting events and yell at the opposing teams, and watch cool movies at movie-nights in the Titan Theater. Tomorrow, they're showing Sin City in the Titan Theater. Oh... and the movies are FREE! Oh, and I'm supposed to help with a tail-gate party or something like that....but I have a Honda Accord. hmmm.
Tomorrow is DISCOVER FEST at CSUF. It's like a HUGE club carnival with frats, sororities, clubs, and school stuff. You guys, if anything, should know that I LOVE CLUBS and extracurriculars. I'm SO excited! I can't wait! I'm finally just getting started to feel good -well almost good- about attending the CSUF. I wasn't very excited at first, but I think I'll get there by the end of the first quarter.
