Let's play catch-up!

I am back from Chicago! I had an awesome time! I am glad I was there a whole week, there was so much to see! Joey and I had a wonderful time and we celebrated our 3 year anniversary! It was super romantic and I just had such a blast! I am bummed to be home, actually...

In other news, I have finished my own pair of fingerless gloves! They are delicious and aqua, my favorite color of all time! I am very happy with them!

Some knitting projects I have lined up:
~ Headband for Rusty
~ Headband for Tasha
~ Beanie for Joey
~ Fingerless gloves for Julian
~ 2 headbands to sell
~ Finish Heather's strap

PHEW! And school is a very short distance away! I can't believe I start on August 23rd! Freaking nuts! Speaking of...I also found out that I am sort of getting screwed in tutoring hours. There was a mix up and miscommunication and now my hours were given to someone else. I am really upset about it, mostly because it was going to be my main source of income. I am getting a huge raise this semester and I wasn't planning on spending most of my working hours at the pizza place. I love tutoring so much and it also breaks my heart that I wont be around the students as much as I would like to be. Definitely a huge downer on my day.

In other news, I am now the only female delivery driver at Gio's! My car is slowly dying on me so I am hoping that the boss with get a company car. But delivery drivers make a lot better money in tips, so I can't complain.  ;)

I've noticed that the theme this summer is "Leaving You In The Dark." There are just too many people (including myself) who have been victims of this terrible tragedy. It's silly, really. Someone wont respond to anything you send them but will talk to your boyfriend like its totally okay. Being fake. Then blocking me? What?! I have absolutely no idea why, but if that certain person is going to stoop to such a level, then why am I complaining about losing them in the first place? I guess they are a super-coward!

Anyway, it felt good to vent. That will be all for now.

P.S. TOTALLY ADDICTED TO THE OFFICE. I. JUST. CAN'T. STOP!

& the world spins madly on...

Life has been busy, as you can tell by the lengthy amount of time I haven't updated.

SCHOOL: is hardddd! But Physiology is becoming harder than Micro...strange? We had a quiz in Micro last week and I got ALL the hard math problems right and bombed all the Microscope identifications. Kind of a bummer, but also pretty funny at the same time. I am enjoying school though. But its going to damn near kill me.

FAMILY: Kai Kai came down to visit last Friday. She left last night. It went by so fast! But I am so glad she came. We had such a good time hanging out together. I miss her so much and it makes me so happy to know that she is moving down here with us. Hanging out in IV with her made me realize that it isn't so bad. She likes going to the beach and watching the sunsets and I never do that, so I felt like she brought that out of me. She didn't go to any parties while she was down here so its also good to know that she has the same home-body mentality as me. I think we've decided to try and live in the 6800 block of IV in a 2 bedroom house (Holly is thinking about joining us). She is going to be the best roommate everrr!

KNITTING: I made Kylie a camera case! It's awesome! I made it in about an hour, so I am getting pretty damn good at this shizzah! I'm also about half-way done with Audrey's hat. Its coming along nicely. She chose a very luxurious red yarn. Kylie and Holly ordered another 3 headbands so I am finally busy with knitting once more! It's just juggling that and school. When I should study the most is when I want to knit the most.

PERSONAL: While Kylie was in town, we spontaneously got new piercings at 'Precious Slut' in IV. She got her right tragus done and I got my helix done. I forgot before we went that I had taken two ibuprofen for my neck stitch from sleeping and when he pierced me, I gushed blood. Freaked him out! It was funny though. But damn, it hurt! WAY more than my own tragus. And Precious, my cat, accidentally kicked me in the ear last night and I started gushing blood all over again. It was awful! The pain made me want to throw up.

Everything with Joey is going more smoothly. We've both been so on edge with the combination of school, work, figuring out housing for next year amongst random other topics. But having Kylie visit really balanced me out, it felt like. Joey and I celebrated Valentine's Day downtown at Pascucci's (of course!) and we had a really good time. It's the first date we've been on in forever! I think we need to go on more dates.

That is all the update I have time for, I guess, other than the fact that my wallet is very light-weight these days. But thats a given...ha! Enjoy your day!

Current Forecast...

Yesterday I had my first experiments in Lab for Microbiology. We took samples from dozens of different objects (cutting boards, sponges, door handles, water fountain bowls, stair railings, paper money, coins, fingernails, etc) and are incubating them until tomorrow morning. We will find out how dirty all those things REALLY are...ew. Absolutely disgusting. I also found out that the average $100 bill not only had cocaine on it, but SEMEN! YEAH! -.-;

This past weekend was quite explosive. I am basically just retarded. And I don't get along with people. And Joey's friends think we'd be better off if we broke up which has got me bumming out. But who can blame them when all they hear is Joey complaining about me? How did it get that way? We're trying to figure out housing and whether or not we'll stay together for next year. I want to live closer to my school or at least compromise and get out of IV. I think its about time to move on but it isn't as easy as just talking it out, I guess.

I've sort of slipped back into the depression. At least I have Anatomy to hold on to. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have tutoring.

Hey, I am also trying to sell my knitting. For some reason, Financial Aid gave me half of the money I normally get so I need money NOW and FAST! Please support me if you could use the extra headband/hat! It's all personalized! Look me up on Facebook under: KnitHuni or www.myspace.com/aquamarinetopaz

Thanks for tuning in. Until next time...

Stay warm. Stay dry.

Well, I am back from the riveting South Lake Tahoe. What more is there to do than to wake 'n bake, eat junk food and make crafts? Tahoe is dead. But regardless, I had a lot of fun. It's the people you surround yourself with that make all the difference. My best friend is my escape, my sister is always there for me and my cat's purr lulls me to sleep every night. This is home.

I've really gotten good at knitting. I've made almost a half a dozen of those headbands. I've got a beanie to make Joey still. It's been great! I wish I had this much time to knit when school started.

Speaking of, I didn't get that Luria Library Scholarship. HUGE bummer. I used the $200 gift card my dad gave me and bought 2 of my 4 books. They were used. Damn, school is expensive!

It's monsoon rains down here in Santa Barbara. It's dumping snow in Tahoe. My mom's down here with me. She heads back tomorrow. It's scary thinking of her driving in this weather all by herself. Make me nervous.

Apparently, we had a tornado on the 6800 block of DP. Yep. Blew my mind out of the water, too!

I've brought Precious down to Santa Barbara with me. So far, she is acting real skiddish. First time in her life she has ever been that way. Things are looking okay, though. She has warmed up a lot since Monday night. I hope she likes it. If not, I have to take her home. I feel bad I tore her away from the only home she has ever known. I hope she will eventually forgive me for that.

I've got my job back at Gio's. One day a week. Not sure when yet. Matt still has to call and let me know. Lots of scholarships and financial aid stuff to apply for this week before school. Once school starts, my immune system will slowly begin to decline due to increased stress levels. Let's root for another 4.0 semester, yeah?!

Stay warm. Stay dry. Ciao.
