It's been a heck of a long time since i last wrote here. a lot has happened between my last post and now. this new year is going to be a CHANGE. things aren't going to be how they were, and i'm guessing it'll be a lot tougher. i've done a lot of thinking, and i'm pretty much scared for what 2006 holds for me. this year is starting off with a bunch of changes, and they can either make me or break me. i really hope that things work out and everything will be worth it. i have a gut feeling though, that once again, things won't go my way. *sigh*

SATURDAY NIGHT...AND I'M WHERE?

...home. not much i can do about it--a crap load of reading, hw, essay due sunday, etc. i'm soooo pressed for time. tomorrow i've got a full day of work, so doing working on my essay tomorrow is a no no. also, i somehow have to find time between our meeting at work and when i start work to buy a memory card for...

THE JASON MRAZ CONCERTS on monday and tuesday. straight after school monday, me and rando are heading to frisco. hopefully we'll breeze through the highway, find perfect parking, get pretty close to the stage, and meet jason mraz *crosses fingers*.

and it's final--las vegas with the cousins after christmas. =)

k. adios muchachos y muchachas

AHHHH!!

i've reached a point where i feel that i need to be either reading, studying, or doing hw EVERY free chance that i get (which is ehhh) just to keep up with class. i'm overwhelmed with the amount of assignments/readings my teachers are assigning.

STRESSED!

this quarter is a doozyyyy. it's been a long time since i've worked and done school at the same time, and it's pretty hard tough considering the classes i'm taking and the fact that 2 of the hardest are online. it's all good though..i knew it was gonna be like this..and frees my availability for more hours.

friday is "friends" day. friday seems like the day that everyone (or mostly everyone) is free to kick it. friends fridays keep me sane.

got my official "you got in" papers from sjsu. weee. WST and 7:30am-5pm orientation next month. booooo!

work's good. working about 5 times a week..i don't think i'd want anything more or less since i know i can't handle school and work that much. got some new kinky stuff in the store..crotchless panties...whips..edible aphrodisiac candles..ooo la la. on the other hand, got some CUTEEEEEE asss stuff. it's sooo tempting..but i MUST SAVE! Hawaii and Las Vegas(? still debating) in december..all coming out of my pocket...but "most definitely" worth it. =)

FIRST DAY

i get to school and had no problem with parking. i found a good spot, but it was pretty tight. next thing i see is a woman pulling into the spot next to me, squeezing her car in where she's so close that it's clear she can't even get out of her own car. i stay in my car, kill time, and apparently she does the same. i'm on the phone activating a credit card, and she talks through my window saying, "excuse me. can you please move your car...i can't get out". irritated, i tell her to hold even though she could see me talking on the phone.

BITCH-- why did you park there in the first place??? i was already parked on the line--moving my car would make me go over it. i explained it to her, and she still insisted. "fine, i'll move it a little, but not a lot". so i kindly moved my car like she asked and she was free. just because there was a "good" spot near campus doesn't mean you can stick your freakin subaru wagon in it. GAHHH.

surprisingly, 2 friends of mine are taking the same class.

i logged on this morning to check up on my 2 distant learning classes (online classes). it looks do-able, but boy there's a lot of work. it's cool...beats going to class m-th.

jason mraz concerts are a go. me and randy are going to the SOLD OUT acoustic show...then me, randy, justine, jd, and rach are heading to the regular show the next day. =)

my chemical romance concert sunday. gotta remind myself to bring as little things as possible. time to rock out with my ...HA!!..yeah right.

i love hanging out with the friends. since we're all busy now, we haven't had much quality time together, but when we do...it's oh so fun. love you guys.

on a serious note--the disaster in lousiana. i can't believe how much damage was done. and even moreso, i can't believe how long it took for some federal help. thousands and thousands of people homeless...FOODless...waterless. many dying waiting for food, people trapped on roofs, many waiting for help. i've been watching as much footage on it as i can, and it's...man. seeing dead bodies, hearing the horrific stories of the conditions. hospitals without food nor water, nurses giving IVs to one another just to keep going, those who need help the most left in their beds. thousands of families with nowhere to live, their homes and all belongings destroyed.

i try to picture this happening to san jose, just imagine how horrible it would be--seeing dead bodies, no food or water for days, losing family members and friends, not knowing what the future holds. it's hard just to see all this happen, with matters out of our hands. with all the toxic waste and geographical nature, new orleans may not even be inhabitable at all. what then? these people must continue their lives somewhere else. and with what money? what jobs? how can we go to war so quickly and spend SOOOO much money on it when there are people...real lives that need that help the most? but then again, why spend so much money on the war in the first place. but ehhh..that's a whole other story. i don't really want to get into my politics and i'm sure you don't want me to either..but damn..we need to help these people out.

HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG?

i've been kinda busy to update this thing..but moreso lazy. so much has happened since my last update..so i'll so my bullet style thing just to make things go quicker.

  • san deezy was off the heeeezyyy! and mexico tooo =) pictures later

  • gym membership=karen getting in shape *crosses fingers*

  • finally employed..but somewhat looking for a 2nd job

  • cats are staying. mom wanted to give them to humane society cause they've been pooping in our backyard, but she and i can't bare to do it.

  • mika (cat) got a huge wound on her neck. her skin/fur is hanging off and it just hurts to see it. i'm thinking it might have been from another stray cat in the neighborhood (i've spot a white cat..and heard cats fighting in the morning so i assume it might be that). can't really do anything about it--she's a stray and we don't have the money to get her checked up. =(

  • extremelyyyy broke in debt college student. my account is barely hanging on...i owe people money...and school fees are due soon..and books in september..not to mention a new bill..gahhh

    JASON MRAZ POST #84593945





    as you can tell, i'm a jason mraz afficionado. i adore him...from his voice to his TALENT...his writing...his sexiness...and most of all...his music. OBSESSED? me? yeah..i guess you can say that. but i'm trying to turn away from my TEENYBOPPER days and appear to keep this "obsession" to a minimum...even though i spend my days watching his performances over and over and over again. anyways...MR. a-z is coming out on tuesday..and i'm exciteddddd! jason's weekly 30 seconds clips on his site has calmed down my eagerness..but damn..what a teasee!

    that reminds me of another "obsession"--LAGAUNA BEACH. ahh. i'm in lovee with the show. there's so many negative things that people can say about this show..but when it all comes down to it: it's tv...entertainment..real people with not so "average lives"...but oh boy are they entertaining. ps. KRISTIN IS GORGEOUS!
