| Life is still pretty gosh darn wonderful. I'm loving being a senior... These past few weeks have been fairly stress-free and friend filled and I couldn't be happier.
This past weekend was our Officer Retreat in Canton. It was great. We planned a lot, ate even more, and got to hang out with Emerald's adorable grandparents. Plus there were a million inside jokes...
*"What's a gerbil? I didn't even know they were real... I thought they were like unicorns...."
*Lindsay Lohan's lady parts
*Your mama is a gypsy." "Your mama is a bitch"
And so many more...
I've gotten to hang out with the new boy more which is always so much fun. I'm doing a good job of keeping it casual and just getting to know him, but the interest is there. He impresses the hell outta me. We'd played basketball for almost 4 hours last night when I got home from my NT40 meeting. Fun stuff... This morning I woke up with a pinched nerve in my back, and I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it...
We celebrated Jenna's birthday twice last week. Monday night we went to Atticus and got trashed. Just her, Emerald, and I. Seriously two of my favorite people on the planet. Thursday was RBar. It was a much more mellow night, but fun as well. Everything in my life is fun right now...
School is going great. I haven't felt a whole lot of pressure yet, but I know that Campaigns is going to gear up pretty soon and I'm totally ready for the challenge.
I want to go to Florida for Thanksgiving. I've gotta try to start making that happen... I miss my abuela...
Alright folks, I must get back to homework. Kisses upon kisses and I love you all.

| Here's to another ridiculously wonderful Friday night...
Alright, let me try to convey how much fun Friday was. First, we had an Angel dinner at Ruby's which was great and adorable. I love these new members so much. It was just a lot of bonding, good food, and... gator?? After Ruby's some of us decided that we wanted to go smoke the hookah at Sara's. But before we went there, a stop at Kroger was necessary. Sooo... Emerald, Tandy, April, Jenna and myself went to Kroger and had the best time trying on wigs, chasing down strangers, and generally just being ridiculous. The facebook pictures really don't do the outing juctice.
After Kroger, we headed to Sara's and met up with some more of the girls. We were sitting on a picnic table outside of her building smoking the hookah, drinking wine and talking... and all was fine until the sprinklers came on and we ran and screamed like a bunch of girls. We just moved the party to the hallway of the building so we could stay dry, and started playing "I Never." Jenna and I definitely won, but it was cool to learn about some of the other girls. And then, the biggest buzzkill of the night happened.... We were being loud and laughing and drinking and who decides to stop by our little party but the new courtesy officer for City Parc. I literally was puring a new glass of champagne as he walked up talking about giving tickets for underage drinking. He ended up being really cool, but it scared us all a little bit. That being said, we moved the party indoors.
Eventually, after exchanging a bunch of ringtons and more stories... some of us decided to go to Atticus. It was kinda slow when we got there, but we definitely made our own fun. It ended up being Emerald, Jenna, Tandy, LaShonda, Dominique, Ashley and myself. We danced, and danced and danced. And I ended up meeting this guy Michael. More about him in a minute... So a little after 2am, the bar shut down and we realize that our friend Mitchell is at the front of the bar about to get into a fight. We are yelling at him like it would make one bit of difference. But it was funny.
Anyways, all that got resolved and we still wanted to party so we headed to Taco Cabana like everyone else. That was fun, too. And Michael came out with a couple of hi friends. At the end of the night it ended up being those 3 guys, Emerald and I and she was ready to go home. So after a lot of "girl talk" we decided that they were good guys so I ended up going home with Michael. He's cute, new to town, and I definitely want to hang out with him again. So we'll see what happens.... He brought me home around 8am yesterday and I literally slept all day until I had to babysit last night.
It was all worth it, though. Definitely a night for the record books... I love my Angels!!!

| I really have been slacking on updating lately. I apologize.
School has started strong, and I'm LOVING being a senior. I haven't had this much fun in a very long time. And classes are good too. Nothing too demanding. Except Chemistry... that is going to kick my ass...
I was offered my very first real advertising job last week with Core Group Advertising in downtown Dallas. I was so excited that I would have said yes to almost anything they offered. However, though, I ended up turning it down on Friday when I seriously considered the commute, the low pay, and the fact that I am really enjoying the flexibility of my schedule right now.
This past weekend was FANTASTIC. So many laughs and great memories and adorable pictures. Friday afternoon, Emerald and I got pedicures. Then I went to see Little Miss Sunshine with my brother, which was really funny. That night, we got all dolled up and went out to The Drink. Emerald, Nisa and I are becoming quite the trio. We danced the whole time, and I met a cute boy. Unfortunately, he's only a sophomore... and lives in the dorms... and doesn't have a car... Sigh...
Saturday was wonderful. The game day stuff went off with very few problems, and the game itself was so freakin' exciting. We beat SMU 24-6, had a packed stadium, and so much spirit everywhere. It was a great game for the recruits, our new Angels, and the team's morale. Plus my parents came up for the game and I loved seeing them. After the game, we went over to Sarah's for her birthday party and then hit up RBar. More dancing, tons of Angel bonding, and seeing Sarah have such a fun night made me very happy.
Yesterday I went shopping with Alison, and we both ended up getting new cartilege piercings. Mine had to be done twice, and I cried, but I'm so happy that I got it done. Last night I went to see Beerfest at Movie Tavern with the guy from Friday night. I'm in a tough position because he is a total sweetheart and a gentleman, but I'm not sure that I'm OK with dating a younger guy. Generally I look to date guys that are in their mid-20s and older. At the same time, I don't want to judge him or anyone based on age because that is so superficial and he definitely deserves me giving him a chance. I'm just worried that we are in two different places in our lives and college careers and all that... We'll see what happens...
I'll update more regularly. I promise.
Kisses!!!

| What a loooong week. Seriously! Monday was my last day at my job and it was really bittersweet. I'll really miss Kimberly, and the great paychecks, and the exciting pace... but I WILL NOT miss the stress, the drive, and did I mention the stress? The stress from this week has been that I got in a car accident and my loans aren't in yet. I have spent a R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S amount of time trying to get everything sorted out and it's still not settled. It's been exhausting.
I'm officially moved back into the apartment. It has been so nice to be back in Denton. I didn't even realize how much I missed it, both because I really love it there and because I really don't love being at my parent's house. And all the roommates are finally moved in as well. Yay!! It hasn't been a relaxing week, though, because Emerald and I have been doing Eagle Angels stuff NON-STOP!! It feels good though, to be so productive and to really see results. I am so excited about what this year has in store...
It has been great catching up with everybody again. Some people are still disappointing in their utter lack of effort, but all in all it's been a good homecoming. And my boys are as cute as ever :)
Emerald, Neesa and I went to the VIP night at The Drink on Fry for the opening. It was very lame in my opinion. Just way too fratty for my tastes. But I'm glad I went out and we made it fun. It was just a reminder that I'm just not into that scene at all any more. I've grown out of it.
This is a really random entry. I'm just rambling, so I'll stop. I'm in Allen for the night. I think I'm going to the movies with Kris later. Pool with Alison tomorrow. Then whatever else.. XoXo Love you!!! | | |
| You know what I figured out? Life is ultimately only about change... and how we deal with those changes.
Losing Drew was so unbelievably hard. My aunt actually asked me to write and read the eulogy. I don't know if I'll ever know where I found the strength to get though it. I'm s glad, though, that Drew is not suffering anymore. He can be happy, and laugh and smile, and take care of all of us. It is a closure for all of us.
My brother moves into his dorm tomorrow. That's another huge change. And it makes me feel old. He's so excited and scared, and I remember feeling all those things about college for the first time. I only hope that him and I remain as close as we are now.
And most of my friends have changed dramatically. I'm coming to the harsh realization that people I love so so much have only lukewarm feelings in return. It really sucks. It's hard not to feel disappointed and hurt and left behind a lot of the time, but then I remind myself that I can't control anyone else's feelings. I just know that this year will be spent much more on myself. I'm not going to bend over backwards to hang on to relationships that aren't 50/50. It's just not healthy or fair to myself.
I'm so ready for the changes that this last year of college will bring. Eagle Angels should be exciting. Classes should be interesting and insightful. I'm going to stop dating college boys with no future plans or motivation to be better. That's a waste of time and almost always ends in frustration.
This entry is kinda depressing... but I'm actually very happy. Just thinking about a lot of things...
