Los Sientos

Dear Blog,
I'm sorry I've been neglecting you. I have a quick minute before I have to leave for class and I simply wanted to inform you that I am now a part of Gamma Phi Beta's Beta Omega class! :) I'm also suffering from major exhaustion, hence my voice sounding like a thirteen year old boy going through puberty, it's cracking all over the place. Anywho, gots to go now, but I will for sure have a detailed post soon!

Week 0 Fall Quarter 2010

Why hello blogspot, long time no talk! :) I really don't have a lot of time to talk because I'm going through recruitment to meet more people and I have to be up early tomorrow, so I'm going to cover what's on my mind.

Since I've been back, I've seen him a few times. Given him hugs every time but the conversation always goes the same way:

Me: Hey (insert name)! How are you?

Him: Heyyy! I'm good, how about you?

Me: Good.

Him: Yeah

Me: Yeah, see ya later!

Him: Yeah, bye!

Eugh! This is all getting so frustrating. I know I said I'm going to keep an open mind, but I just wish fate was on my side. It's fine if things don't happen, like it's been in my head for a while that we're on different pages, it just sucks when it's thrown in your face. Whatever though, moving on. Only time will tell.

I decided to go through recruitment this year and it's turning out to be not that bad. I've been pleasantly surprised by almost every chapter. Pi Beta Phi is for sure a no no because well... Just because. I expected that one. Anyways, talking to all these girls are really fun, but I honestly wish there was time to really just get to know them on a deeper level before eliminations. I feel like I have to jump right into my history in order for them to really know me, but there's never enough time. It really sucks and I'm not the most comfortable with starting a conversation. I'll admit, I'm improving tremendously, but there's always room to get better. The bad side to all of this is I don't get to hang out with people like Jeanalyn and my roomies and last year's roomies. Tradeoffs sucks butt!

My eyes are burning, meaning time for bed! Lol. G'nite! Detailed version of week 0 to be posted SOON!

143

This is my new desktop background because it reminds me of my lovely girlies from irvine, Cammie and Jeanalyn! :) 143. They keep my life sane and fun. There's never a dull moment with them. I'm so excited to go back down and fill our second year with even more memories than last year!!

Life is Bright & EXCITING

My room looks ten times better than it has all summer. I honestly LOVE spending time in my room sorting through all the junk I've hoarded throughout the years of my life. Even though I moved to a new house 2 years ago, I still manage to find random bits of junk from elementary school! Goes to show how well I used to clean. Anyways, I've come to the point in my life where I'm ready to part with all of it. Basically grasping onto the concept of: if you haven't seen it in years or used it regularly, toss it. The amount of space that I've acquired is AMAZING.
All while cleaning, I've also been packing up items that I see as I'm going along. One of the major tasks I've finished is washing my sheets and comforter for school! I even opened up my new pillow and put the pillowcase on it. Now I use it to sleep on while I read during the day, and every time I walk in my room, it serves as a reminder that I only have a few days left. There's something about this pillow that's different than my other pillows. It just screams college to me. It's in a super cute striped pillow case that is a white base with purple, pink, and blue double stripes. loveeee it!

Disbelief

Irvine in 8 days? Are you serious? My lame attempts at cleaning my room these past 3 weeks have led to a greater mess than when I started. Now I'm sitting here, home alone on a Friday night and realizing school is 8 days away! WTF! When did this happen? And where the eff was I?

Being home this summer has brought me much needed carefree happiness. Although my family stresses me out with their worries of each other's well-being, I love them to death and I don't regret all that I gave up to be home this summer. This summer my mom helped me realize that I'm more of a go-getter than I realized. My brother helped me build up my confidence in my future and made me realize I made the right decision when choosing my major. My dad.. Well, he gave me good moments to vent out all my anger and good laughs from his stupid moments. My cousins, well we had some good times and good laughs this summer. I guess I caught my humor/sarcasm from friends while away.

Anywho, summer's been so much fun!! But I've been way too lazy and my momma cooked too much yummy food for my own good. Now it's time to pack it all up and move out, plus start working out! Freshmen weight is a big no no.

Surpriseeee

I'm honestly surprised. Last week, my parents had an appointment at the optometrist's office and by the end of it, they came to the conclusion that my dad most likely has high cholesterol. Well, from that moment on, we nagged my dad about watching what he eats and told him he needs to work out for 30 minutes a day. To my surprise, he really has! Normally, we nag and nothing gets done. Basically he has a terrible habit of snacking uncontrollably and never being full, which lucky I've inherited in my dna... Thanks dad. I'm proud of him for actually listening to us, hopefully he continues! :)

I Have Terrible Short Term Memory.

My days left at home are winding down. Last month, I could not wait to leave home, but when it boils down to time to leave I'm a complete emotional wreck. Through it all: the drama, the chaos, yelling, screaming, slapping, laughter, love.. Family is the most important part of me. My mom woke up today and ran into the family room where I was watching TV and eating breakfast to tell me about her dream. She dreamt of me down in Irvine and her left at home crying her eyes out, but crying tears that came out like water flowing down a waterfall! Lol. It was hilarious, but it made me sad because I know how I felt last year when I left and how she felt. I don't want to go through that again. At the same time, I know this year it's going to be worse because I'm not moving home again for another 2 years. Any time that I'll be spending at home will be during very short visits and that sucks. The relationship I have with my mom now is irreplaceable. Every day that I get to spend with her now means the world to me. This is so hard!! I love school and SoCal, but I love my family too. I wish I could take them with me to SoCal.
