Words cannot encompass how thrilled I am to be going home tomorrow night and to be having Christmas with my family. I wish I was able to spend more time at home with everyone this break. Some break, huh? Hopefully the payoff next summer will be well worth all this fatigue.
In more exciting news, I made some beautiful gingerbread cookies. AND I'm almost done wrapping everyone's presents, which almost makes me sad. If anyone has any wrapping/card-making they want me to do for them, just say the word & consider it done.
It's weird to think about this year ending. Saying it has been a rollercoaster is quite an understatement. Such is life, let's roll with the punches. I am very excited to be taking Yoga next semester. Maybe I'mm become a meditating pro.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!!

The hardest thing in the world for me to accept is that some people will never get along. No matter how you may want to push, it won't happen. So you've gotta throw your hands up and accept it. I always seem to find that optimism is both my strongest attribute and my worst fault. I think that grudges accomplish nothing. Maybe I am naive, but maybe I'm okay with that.
In lighter news, today I finished Christmas shopping and I'm pretty happy with what I found for everyone. Next comes my absolute favorite part: wrapping, card-making, and giving! I want to learn how to make gingerbread cookies from scratch before the break is over. Wish me luck.
13 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS (whoa)!

Billy Joel tickets went on sale this morning at 10am. I am sure they are all sold out by now.
Let's reserve a moment of silence for that.
Thanks & happy finals.

With a sore throat and out of whack sinuses, I still managed to have one of the most incredible days I could have ever asked for. And any doubt has been reconfirmed that I did this for the right reasons. And I am now a proud sister of Alpha Omicron Pi. Two down, one to go.
Hope everyone's weekend is going swell!

Went to Tennessee this weekend for the first time ever. It's SO beautiful there! And Halloween is tomorrow. And I'm gonna carve a pumpkin. And initiation is this Saturday (whoa). And Spring Orientations start next week. And the Study Abroad Fair is next week. And Homecoming is the week after. And Thanksgiving is the week after that! And December comes the week after that! And finals start two week later! And Christmas will be here before you can say holy macarole! If I can just (by some miracle) ace my Grammar exam today, everything will be going my way.

Don't you ever just need to dance and sing around your room like you're on a huge stage somewhere with the spotlight on you? And you get it out of your system, as if it were eating or sleeping or some other simple requirement for your body to continue functioning properly.
If you ever decide to take a fully online course, keep in mind it is A WHOLE LOT easier to procrastinate your work--especially if you don't care for the subject. Case in point: Human Biology (ech). Five chapters down, four more to go. Yikes-a-ramma. LET'S DO THIS!

Lately, things have been crazy. Cuh-razy. Not enough hours in the day, not enough fair in the world. Wish I could put a band-aid on everything that's broken and make it all better.
Good news: we're inching closer to Christmas.

Fabulous weekend in Orlando! Thank you to everyone who was involved for a great time, I hope I didn't get you all sick.
I also hope that in another life I become the kind of person who can stay up all hours of the night partying. Because I sure as heck am not that person right now, but it looks like fun.
I need posters (and/or time) to decorate my room, it looks so plain. I need a job! I'm still waiting to hear from a few places on campus, and waiting is the worst. I need luck for my Modern English Grammar exam, I hope my TA can explain things better than my professor does. I NEED to STUDY, but I'd much rather procrastinate on livejournal. Ah, alright, I guess I'll get started.
I hope everyone is having a simply spectacular week!
PS- Wicked is coming in March, anyone wanna buy me tickets?

What a week.
I saw Love Actually tonight. I am always in the mood to watch that movie. It never ceases to strengthen my faith in humanity. Everything is connected and everything happens for a reason. And love actually is all around.
By the way, I am an A-O-cutie-Pi !!!

Why is it that as hard as you search and search for something, you end up finding it when you stop looking? In so many ways.
I am absolutely bummed about the university being closed tomorrow and Wednesday. There was so much planning going into this week, if we can't reschedule I will be very upset. And I'm missing my first day for three classes. How rude, Ernesto.
I wish I could write more, but I should be a lot more productive right now.
Stay safe, everyone.

It is August 20th. August freaking 20th. Classes start in 8 days, I am now a second year college student, and so much has changed. Scrapbooking is driving me insane in the membrane.
I'm already looking forward to Christmas.

I loved living in the dorms this summer, but it is good to be home. Not that it's over quite yet, but this has been one heck of a summer. I don't think I've ever been so drained from any other job before, Orientation is some tough work. Rewarding, but tough. You freshmen better appreciate your Orientation Leaders. Getting back to a regular sleeping schedule is on my agenda.
As for other areas of life right now, things are good. I am grateful. Sometimes are still harder than others, but I have many things to be looking forward to. Lots to keep me busy, like the 4.0 I will be getting in the Fall semester. If I have to live in the library, I will get it. But I am happy right now. I really couldn't ask for much more.
Hope everyone has a happy conclusion to their summer :)

I hope I make the most of this summer, what's left of it anyway.
I hope I enjoy Fall semester & all of my English courses.
I hope I become a stronger writer, a good writer, who can write something worth reading.
I hope one day I'll be cut out to live the city life--hustle, bustle & all that jazz.
I hope everything falls into place. Whatever will be, will be.
I know that I made the right choice for me. & it feels good to know what's best for you, to actually be able to do it. To rethink everything you said & know that you made perfect sense, you were completely honest, you said everything you needed to and should have said. Moments of clarity are rare and special.
I hope everyone has a spectacular night and a pleasant tomorrow :)

Urination station is not welcome in Miami. That's okay, I can work with it.
Good news: I'm not living at home next year. I'm not sure exactly where I will be yet, but either way I am thrilled. Not that I really didn't want to live at home, it's just a world easier this way.
Happy Father's Day, by the way :)

Oh my goodness gracious. It's 5am and I cannot explain why on Earth I am awake at such an obscene hour. If you know me, it doesn't make sense. But a lot of things have stopped making sense.
Warning: Extremely Inebriated & Cryptic
So, I don't know how to explain it, but it is happening. And I can't ignore it anymore. There's no good reason to ignore it at all. Still, take it one day at a time. Today, tomorrow, the next day, and the day after that. One day, one hour, one minute, one millisecond at a time. But tonight (or last night) there was nothing for you. Well, I wouldn't say nothing, but nothing compared to what it was two months ago. Which is okay. Things change. People change. And you just have to adapt. I am changing. And that's okay, too. I will not let myself become the person I used to be. I will not let myself do a number of things right now, and wallowing is most certainly on that list. This is going to be an amazing summer, like it or not. And I will do what I am inspired to do. And I will take my cues as they come from only myself.
Meanwhile... I am loving my suitemates. I love living on campus right now. However, I feel so bad for others. I wish there was something I could do to change the arrangements. But, hopefully it will work out for the best. We cannot let something as trivial and dumb as this ruin an experience that is supposed to be (and will be!) incredible.
I can't wait to visit Orlando next weekend!!
I love you all, goodnight :)

I move back into the dorms next Tuesday. I don't think I've ever been so excited to share a room & sleep on a plastic mattress. Let's kick start this summer, already. I feel like it's been going in slow motion so far. But now it's finally starting to pick up. And I'm slowly migrating from Mr. Hyde to Dr. Jekyll, slowly. I love Peer Advising. Out of all the decisions I've made this year, it has been by far the most rewarding. Hope you're all having a good weekend/summer. Thanks to everyone for all of the love & support lately, I don't think I've said that enough. And I do mean everyone. Shower timeeee.

Do you ever find yourself reading old lj entries because you really have nothing better to do and you're fascinated with the things you used to write?
"Sometimes it's funny to see how different you felt about one thing or another not so long ago, and how differently you did things. And now you're so used to things completely different, you probably couldn't go back, even if you wanted to. And it makes you really wonder what you'll feel like or what you'll be doing about the things that you may feel so certain of right now."
-14 Feb 2004
Me too.
Today I was told by a very good person that life is essentially about you... and clay. Clay is all that stuff that you didn't expect to happen, but you have to deal with anyway. I know that probably doesn't make sense, but it was some pretty good advice.
I love Coral Springs High School Drama Club for every incredible production they've done this year. And for all the wonderful people they are.
