| Nobody does livejournal anymore (including myself) which is sad.
However, I will update you all on my life.
I graduated. YAY! I don't have a job. BOO! I'm going to U of M for my masters in the fall. YAY/BOO!
Last summer was way better. | comments: Leave a comment   |
| | I am done with school on thursday! Well, I have to come back next wednesday for a final..but whatever. I've stopped caring this semester... I know, it happens, but I am going to be pissed at myself if my grades slip because of the last couple weeks. Anyway... let me know if anyone wants to hang out this weekend or any weekend really. :) | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | being 21 is fricken awesome because if I see a cop in a bar (like tonight) or anywhere really (when I've been drinking) I have nothing to worry about. This day has finally come ! YES! However, that day came on easter..which is really ok because I got a lotta money, an ipod and a shit load of alochol from my cousin! YAY | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Hey... it's been awhile, more than a month actually.
A lot has happened since then... I had spring break in Texas which was a good time. Got burned so that was fun. John and I also picked out a cat (He is named Bo after Bo Shembeckler the former UM football coach...go figure). Ya know, so random stuff like that.
The last week has been hell though... My uncle Dave died early sunday morning.. It was a shock to us all because he was out of the hospital (he had a stroke a couple weeks previous) and thought he was doing better. So all the funeral stuff was friday and yesterday which was shitty to say the least. I did get to see family I rarely see, though, so that was good. Now it's today where I have to do homework for 3 million hours...should be fun. Next week my Grammy from florida is coming in town! YAY! I haven't seen her in a couple years so I'm looking forward to seeing her. Ok, enough for now..bye | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| A random ass person from Highschool drunk IMing you and asking to spoon... it's these moments that makes life hilarious.
Also fun is listening to boyband music with the roommates and talking about funny things....
Valentines day is a poopy holiday. Yes, poopy. I got an Orchid plant (which I'll try not to kill this time...) from John and a panda bear/chocolates from my parents (I named him Alfanso Omar Pizzle).
I sleepy. Bye. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Somehow, 1/3 of the semester is over. How that has happened, I'm not sure...
So far classes are going alright. I'm not sure how they are going to go grade wise because I haven't had much yet. Let me briefly describe my classes (just so I can look back and remember how terrible it was)
Theatre 110- Professor talks about black ninja squirrels on a regular basis.
Religion 101- Professor talks endlessly about religious crap that nobody cares about and can't answer anyones questions in under 500 words.
Family and Child Ecology 442-Profressor kind of boring, but there is a dumb chick who says shit like "hispanics are making choices that get them pregnant at age 15" and (when given statistics about high obesity/heart disease rates among african americans) "well, don't african americans eat fatty foods?" I want to punch that bitch in the face
Social Work 340- Professor kind of treats us like 5 year olds. We watch mock therapy sessions where the students give each other the finger. Kind of entertaining.
Things at the house are going well. Recruitment is over, so that's kind of a relief. Now the focus is Greekweek... I know Songfest will be fun but the practices are going to get a little old.
3 weeks until spring break!!! :) | | comments: Leave a comment |
| It has occured to me that I need to start thinking about graduate school. That scares the crap out of me. Making the initial college decision was stressful enough, now this?! My parents are all about me staying in state..but I don't know. I really like the idea of going to the university of chicago (top 3 msw program).... but yes, it's out of state. So more expensive. And the whole John thing... yikes. It's not like I can go to Houston because he might not be there... so I would feel like a complete moron if I moved there to be together and then his job took him elsewhere. Plus, I don't really want to follow him around... but at the same time I do because I love him and I want us to be together. So... it's a dilemma, I know.
... Anyway, first week of school was.. ya know, the first week of school. My religion professor talked about circumcision for oh... 30 minutes or so. Yeaaah.... | | comments: Leave a comment |
| seems a lot has happened since I last updated.
I celebrated xmas with the fam...
I'm still in Texas and all is well so far. The first week or so was pretty chill...getting ready for the trip and going out to eat and spending time with John's parents and such. Christmas eve we went over to their place and spent the night... opened presents (I got a chocolate foutain among other things) and had tacos for dinner. It was sweet. Tuesday was spent running around looking for a stupid gps holder..but eh, oh well.
anyway, the trip went well.
Highlights (or lowlights depending how you view it)
- Getting the keys locked into the car
- new years eves dinner laughing about chicken boobs (we were all very tired and giggly at that point)
- walking an hour (lost) trying to find the rose parade (to do so we climbed a little mountain and went through barbed wire)
- the rose parade (really cool..got a bunch of good pictures)
- walking around the biggest parking lot (AKA a golf course) for an hour with bags of food trying to find the car...we found it finally. The bastards moved the balloon big balloon that marked where we were....
- tailgate (hotdogs, hamburgers, alcohol and interesting people all around)
- the game (i mean, it's not like I really cared who won)
- being crammed in a small car for 22 hours of driving each way (ouch)
- the views of the mountains and cacti and stuff
sooo it's been fun. I'm kind of ready to get back to school..even though I know it's going to be crazy. woot. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Gar I came *so close* to getting a 4.0 this semester. SO CLOSE. I knew I had a chance this semester... and one class I got a 3.5. Okay, I know this is a stupid thing to complain about but... I WAS SO CLOSE. Oh well.. this is the best I've done in college. Actually, this semester I'm getting better grades than I did in high school. So woo hoo!
Today I'll go to breakfast w/my dad, get a pedicure and pack! WOOT!
Yesterday I spent a fun filled day with Maddie. We went to target (I bought shoes!), the mall, got olgas, watched 'the family stone' at her house, went to her sister's play thingy and then went to the red coat with her mom and sister. :)

| I have been having absolutely the strangest dreams...and this really says something because I can have some messed up ones!
One involved my parents being upset because I was dating... get this... hagrid from harry potter. That's what I get for reading 100 pages a day of HP.
Embarrasssssinnnng...
Tomorrow I'm going to Frankenmuth with Elizabeth and my parents! yay!
I'm going to get a massage today... Like a year ago we gave my mom a certificate to get one, but she doesn't want it. So I have no problem using it :)
I don't have to take that one final... I didn't really expect that I'd have to..but it's good to know
1 week! :) | | comments: Leave a comment |
| My prof is an idiot.. I potentially have an exam thurs morning (it's now 4:30 on thurs) and yet, I do not have my grades! This is important because if I have over an 85% the exam is optional. My prof got "sick" and said we should have the grades by monday (aka yesterday). She is the worst prof ever..and to be honest, I don't care if she's sick because we have all put up with so much bullshit from her. Ugh...
8 days! | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Ok, so yes, that last entry was vague as always and it seems like everytime something bad happens to me it's the end of the world...
but, things are better now. I got an apology from my mom... so we're cool now.
everything else is better... not easy, but i'm willing to do my part.
I'm at home. Allll done with school. :) That's exciting!
I'm going shopping with my cousin Jen tomorrow and then picking out a tree...and maybe cookies!
I get way too excited about xmas | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| :( wow this is pretty bad
this is the point where it gets really shitty... like REALLY shitty... I have no idea what to do. none at all. I am so sad. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| so currently life is pretty good... I don't have ANY finals (well except for a take home essay)!
That essay is the only thing I have to do for the rest of the semester (and a little presentation for sw.. but not really a huge deal)...
and then I am DONE a week EARLY! So excited... | | comments: Leave a comment |
| well, i'm in a much better mood now (that tends to happen).
Monday night was paint the rock! For the first time in like 3 years, it didn't rain! I gave my little a blanket I made her and it was fun.
Wednesday was serenades... went to 20-some fraternities and watched our girls dance. One of the frats did their serenades for us, and I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Then was the afterparty which was fun... pink panty droppers are surprisingly good. It's beer, vodka and pink lemonade. Yeaah, that's why I say it was SURPRISINGLY good...because I hate beer. anyway
believe it or not, I have school and things and I'm not doing sorority things 24/7.
I wrote 10 pages the past 2 days and I still have another paper to write. Not fun. But the end is near :) | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| | Today will be different. I know I tell myself this a lot..but I am making a promise to myself and lj community (as stupid as that is) that I am going to change. I cause so much unnecessary drama and I'm such a pessimist lately that I'm even pissing myself off. I mean, who doesn't complain about school? I am still allowed to do that. But you know what I mean. Well, let me rephrase that... I know what I mean. I just end up crying and getting upset over stupid things. I know I can be happy if I think it's possible. I'm sure everything isn't going to be rainbows and sunshine for awhile...but I can make it better. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| closed rush last night was a lot of fun... not as much alcohol on the bus as last time...but I had some wine.
I think the highlight of the night was linette dancing like a lunatic and spinning us around so some creepy guy wouldn't try to dance with us.
I know there's much more but it's not coming to me right now.
I went to bed at 3:30.. got up at noon. sounds reasonable.
whitney went to bed the same time I did (on the daybed).. and is still asleep. It's 5! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| closed rush is tonight! Aka getting on a bus and consuming massive amounts of alcohol and going to club envy in detroit. That's the plan anyway...
last year was ridiculous..and so much fun.. so hopefully this time is the same.
I think I'm trying to distract myself from the fact that school stuff is going to be insane in the next few weeks..boo
I bought my plane tickets for texas!!! I go dec 20-jan 6th. I'm super excited. However, I feel like I really bad daughter skipping out for christmas. but, to be fair, we don't actually do much on xmas day. So I'll be home a couple weeks and I can do all the xmasy stuff then... maybe I'll come home before xmas break and do the tree and stuff. It's my favorite. That and making cookies and laying by the fire. I love the holidays! I am getting way ahead of myself...
Some of us should really hang out over christmas.. I mean it. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Life is frustrating at the moment...
classes are starting to stress me out. My professor is stupid. No really, she is. I have a presentation next week and we asked her 10 questions and we still don't know what's going on. On top of that I have a 10 page paper, a 3 page paper, research/2 page paper and AOII stuff like crazy for the next couple weeks.
Oh and today my day was ruined by the outcome of prop 2. Everything else turned out ok I guess...
I have had a headache allll day. yuck.
stupid arguments are...well, stupid | | comments: Leave a comment |
| so things are going alright... I'm at home :)
Just got back from hanging out with Elizabeth
It's been way too long...
Talks always make me feel better somehow
Even if they are mostly depressing...
(kind of like the death talks at the park.. lol remember those)
Today is bitter-sweet....
John and I's 2 year anniversary
Of course I'm excited because that is a long time (it's an especially big accomplishment due to the situation of the last few months)
buuut I can't see him...so it's an ordinary day :(
Is it bad I don't want to go back to school tomorrow?
I need break to be here... pronto... | | comments: Leave a comment |
