Life goes on

I'm blessed to have found my current job and be able to afford to pay my bills and still have some left over for other things. Life happens! I'm not going to waste my time whining over how things aren't going to exact way I want. If I can't change it, roll with it. Everything happens for a reason, sure it may suck now but down the road you can look back and know you learned a lesson. There is no need to be sad about things you have no control over. Live life, spend time with family and friends, and don't sweat the small stuff. It'll all work out in the end.

First Friday of 2012

Life is uncertain and full of situations that you may or may not know how to navigate. I'm hoping this year is a great year, full of the unknown and I can't wait to meet my fate this year. New Job? New Car? New apartment? Moving to a new city? New pet!!? I really want a cat or dog, permitting.

All I know is I'm happy right now. I have a great relationship, staying close to my family..even though they moved to VA, have a job I show up for during the week, I'm healthy and I have friends that I love and miss. It's all I could really ask for; life throws decisions your way so just grab your ninja sword and slice it out! Test the waters, everything happens for a reason!! Smile, it's 2012 and from what I heard the world isn't going to end, the Mayan's just ran out of stone!!

Yelp! It!

Lately I've been getting further involved with yelp! I really enjoy the website, seeing honest opinions about everything from food to parking to where to get the best deal on clothing. I like to write my reviews and being able to check out free events in the bay area and beyond. The Wild West Showdown in Sacramento was super fun, met some great people and picked up some great swag! The Back to Cool kick off party in San Francisco was a blast, they served sweets and beer; a perfect combo in my mind! I've attached a photo of this couple that baked scones for the event, they were super nice. Most recent I went to the Jorts Jam in Palo Alto, again with my boyfriend; he's elite and is the main reason we have been so busy on the yelp! Scene lol :)

It's been a crazy summer but I'm looking forward to what fall has in store!

I'm an adult? really?

I am so happy that this spring quarter is finally over and I have the summer to just relax and work. It hit be recently that I'm an adult and I'm not going to get younger! All the parties and late nights have been rare this year for me, I've been coming home early on monday nights to do online postings for art history and staying in most nights. I don't drink often, if at all anymore. My tolerance is way lower then it was a few years ago. Although I am used to paying all my own bills and doing the "grown up" thing, as I call it, it's still a weird concept to me. Until recent, I have been working at school, getting away with dressing however I wanted and coming into work late/hungover if I wanted. I finally left Classroom Services, as have many of my old co-workers have. Now that I work for Nordstom in Pleasanton, I have to be a bit more on point. On-Time, attention to professional dress while still staying on trend and being energetic to work through my day. It's really fun and I plan on staying with the company for a long time. I'm even on the hunt for a 1 bedroom for myself and my boyfriend. It's harder then I thought. I have to take in to account the distance the place is from UCSF, Nordstrom and CSUEB....since I'm still in school. Also, we both have to like it and it needs to be in a nice area.

I just thought laundry and cleaning/cooking were as adult as I would get lol I'm excited my life has gone in this direction and I'm with someone special. Unfotch, my family is falling apart currently. Wonder how that will all end up. it's sad to watch my Sister go through something I had to deal with when I was her age. i wish her all the best and hope she stays strong like I know she can.

In a happier note, I'm almost done with College!! Fall 10 will be the start to the end of my time at CSUEB. I only have 4 classes after Fall 10, hopefully I can get them done in Winter 11/Spring 11 so I can walk in June!!! It's scary to be done with College but it will open many more doors for me and will allow me to work full time and hopefully allow me more time to work on my art and maybe get some side jobs for me!!

Web Design Final Project

It's all about my summer plans! Check back here once June hits for updates, stories and pictures!

I moved out into an apartment, it's like 10 minutes from school, which is flippin awesome cause I get to sleep in more!! I also have a new job at school with classroom services, same place some of my guy friends work. I work mornings monday through thursday and all day on fridays. Which means I have weekends all to myself!!! :) I am currently a rho chi for formal recruitment this year, which is going ok expect some people don't understand they can't talk to me and I them, and its frustrating at times, but it's all over on sunday and I am fully looking forward to 4pm on sunday. I will be donning my letters and happier after that. I feel a little sick, like my throat is a little irritated, I felt so sick that I didn't attend classes today, I went home and slept basically the whole day until I had to attend Info Night. I'm pretty over some "friends" I have. I met some advisors today that I didn't know and they are really cool!

I can't wait for Greek Presents!! It's going to be very fun and pretty much the best Presents ever!!! more on that later. :) I'm happy with other areas of my life. I'm probably going to bed varily early tonight cause I have work [like every morning] and class all day then nothing :) meaning I can relax and do homework!
