Spread love like violence!

If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death or riots
There'd be no more police, packed parking lots
Guns, bombs sounding off

EPIC. YOU MUST LISTEN TO ANGELS & AIRWAVES. They will change your life.

I love summer....ahhhhhh!

So I have literally opened up this page like 6 times, and couldn't come up with anything great enough to write down. I love being on summer vacation! My world seems so much less eventful! ;)

Well, My final report card was all As and 1 B. Physiology was that one B. BLAST! But, yet, that was still much better than I expected. I worked my butt off and I am happy with that score.

I'm at Gio's basically full time, now. This week I had 35 hours. Verrry nice. They are promoting me to a Lead (training will take all summer) and that will be interesting. Not sure if I will stick with it, but we will just have to see.

I've been cleaning and changing up the apartment since I have free time. I went out and got a beautiful ocean painting for Joey, some candles, a new shirt for myself, and some patio furniture. I spent a few days searching and there was nothing good, so I bought something brand new from CVS. It's really nice to have a table finally. Joey's dad is coming down to visit on Saturday so now he wont think we are cavemen. :)

I can finally read for pleasure! I am making a list of books to read over summer. I am starting with Cathy Lamb's "The Last Time I Was Me." Its great so far! I really like her style, I might even add her others books to the list if I enjoy this one so much. I've been trying to figure out if she has any relation to Wally Lamb (a personal favorite!) but there is NOTHING on these people! The only thing I have come up with is that they both are married to "unnamed people" and they both have 3 children. Coincidence? I think not.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention! I found out that I am ONE math class away from applying to the RN program. Yeah. I cried when I found this out. Now I have to take that math class in the Fall. :( So sad. But I still was able to apply for the LVN program which I did. Whichever I get into first I will go with. We will have to wait and see. Ugh. I feel like I have been waiting forever already!

What else? I am not sure there is much else to write about. But I must clean. Basically all the dishes in our kitchen are stacked to the ceiling because neither Joey nor I have had time to do them in 3 days. Vacuuming must be done and the bathroom is probably just crawling with E. coli and Serratia marcesen (thank you Micro!). I must attend to it before Tom gets in tomorrow...CIAO!

P.S. CONGRATS to my dear friend, Carole, who graduated from the WMC** Nursing program...and she's in her third trimester of pregnancy! YEAAAAAAAH, CHICKITA! :)

Blessed. :)

This past week, I am starting to feel truly blessed. :) It's been a while since I felt like that.

To begin, I earned the President's Honor Role for both Spring and Fall 2009 semesters and our ceremony was on Friday. That was fun! I got to introduce myself in front of a couple hundred people. I also found out that I received a $500 scholarship for next year. WOO HOO! Also, I got a letter in the mail yesterday from the Bio Department. It announced that I was nominated and able to receive an Award for "Outstanding Student of the Year" for my work with Anatomy. It was signed by Barry! Both of those awards ceremonies are this Friday. FINALLY, it feels like all this hard work and staying in instead of partying has paid off! :)

Joey and I are completely moved in to the new place! I absolutely love it! It's got this awesome back patio and tons of room! The area is quiet and surrounded by nature. It's got a feel to it that reminds me of home in Tahoe. I could get used to this! :)

Dead week is here! I can't believe the semester is already over! I am terribly sad! Then I have summer and I don't know what I am going to do with myself! Hopefully I can find a job and go home to Tahoe for a few weeks. Joey leaves soon for Chicago...breaks my heart.
But like I said, I feel truly blessed! I have an amazing Mommy (in regards to Mommy's Day yesterday), and awesome academic career (finally!), awesome friends (Julian, YOU ROCK!) and a really cool boyfriend. I hope I stay on top for a while. :)

I smell change...

Don't get me wrong. I've been needing and WANTING to update for weeks! It's just been so crazy busy and ridiculous that I haven't had the time (nor the energy) to update. Lots has been going on!

With school: I got honored into the President's Honor Role and the ceremony is next Friday. WOO! Physiology is kicking my butt and I am working SO HARD to get it! We have our last Micro exam before the Final on Monday and I am pulling my hair out trying to study for it! I am working so hard for school and it just seems like nothing is really going my way. Straight A's are going to be impossible this semester. :(

With home: Joey and I got a place last minute at Family Housing. Move in date is on Tuesday. I found a guy to sublet from us starting on Wednesday. It's been nuts trying to juggle everything. I've been packing little by little each day and I am so stressed! We are picking up a uHaul tomorrow and packing it up because we are too busy to work on it Monday or Tuesday. I've been working my ass off trying to take care of so many things. I feel like I am wearing thin. I don't even have time for happiness and doing something fun for myself. Joey and I tried to go the fair on Thursday night but it didn't end well for us. To top it off, my car went "kaput" today. The "new" battery wont hold a charge and keep my car running. Right when I am going to need this damn thing the most...FOR THE MOVE! I am freaking out!

I am counting the minutes until summer. I am so happy to be done and not have school or homework or studying or anything for 3 whole months! Yes, I will be working, but I will actually have FREE TIME! What is free time? Right now, it's watching a movie when I get an hour or two between headaches (study sessions). I haven't even knit in almost 3 weeks. My body hasn't seen the sun yet...isn't that pathetic?

There's been a lot of drama these past few weekends on top of it. I am just so sick and tired of trying anymore. I feel unmotivated and like I want to give up. I feel as if I am changing again and I need something different...something new. I just feel weird. I don't know how to explain it.

I am sad about leaving this apartment. I am sitting here now, home alone looking at all our packed boxes. This is going to be the last night we are sleeping in our bed in this apartment. All the big furniture gets packed away tomorrow. The walls are bare, the rooms echo. There are a lot of memories in these walls...both good and bad. Both wanting to remember and wanting to forget. It's been a challenge in this apartment. I am not sure what the next will bring but I am not sure I am ready for it. I haven't even had the chance to THINK about all this until now. It's over. "Mine and Joey's first apartment" is about to be over. I keep playing this montage of memories in my head like a movie...

Life, you are becoming very complicated. I don't like it. Can't you just do what I say? Don't mess things up for me. I can't handle it right now. I feel as if I could easily tear with just another small stretch...
