Start of something new

     So today was my first day at school and I've got to say that it wasn't that bad. I was supposed to have two classes today but the teacher was sick so I only had one class. That was pretty awesome, and my history class wasn't so bad. The teacher seems pretty cool and I got a kind surprise. I had one of my friends in that class! That was pretty cool, now I have a homework buddy if I ever need one, yay! So far college is pretty good but I know that it will get harder. Oh and guess who gets no summer vacation? That's right, this girl right here. I'm going to school for the summer semester and I'll be going in the fall and then spring again, yay! It will get tough but I'll hopefully finish all my generals by next year and by then I hope to know what field I'll be going into. I'm kind of stuck between dental hygiene and doing something with an English degree, so well see what happens

Freaking the Freak Out!!

      I am freaking out! Tomorrow is my first day in College, and its making me crazy. I signed up for classes on Wednesday, classes which started on MONDAY!! If you know me well, you know how I hate starting something new unprepared, especially late. I am freaking out that I've missed important things, and I know that I've missed a lecture because I saw it online. I have an autobiography due in that class tomorrow, which I'm working on at this moment. Everyone is telling me not to worry, because the fist week of class is just about going over the syllabus and getting to know the class, well that's nice to hear but that's not what I think. I think that I've missed TWO days of classes, classes that they haven't been in! I feel so unprepared and scared, I know how childish this is going to sound, but I want someone to hold my hand through this. I do not like going through new things by myself, I want someone to stand by me and give me support.
      I have no idea what to expect tomorrow morning, I have two classes one at 7 am and another at 9 am. That means that I have an hour between the two to worry about the next class and what am I supposed to do for an hour? Shall I tell you what Classes I have now and when? I have 4 classes this semester each 3 credit hours which means I am taking 12, which makes me a full time student, yay! One class I'm taking online, it the Foundation of Nutrition, which I just took cause I needed an elective but who knows I could learn lots of new stuff about the foods I eat.  The two classes I'm taking tomorrow are American Civilization and Intro to Criminal Justice. I'll have those Mon, Wen, & Fri. , and I'm kind of excited for Criminal justice, some of my favorite shows to watch are crime shows ( hello, can you say Law & Order fan over here!). Oh and that autobiography I'm working on is for American Civilization
     My final class, which I kind of can't wait to have is Diversity in American Literature. I love English, it was my favorite subject in High School and I love to read. See I didn't really have to take this class, it counts for the Humanities part in General Education and I'm done with that part but I did want some English class since the class I needed, English 2010, was full, so I took a class that sounded interesting and was English. That class I have on Mon and Wen. and its at 10. I am going to stop here since I really need to get back to that assignment. Thanks for listening, or really reading, this rant. Now here is a picture of what me freaking out would look like...

Resolutions

A New Year means making and breaking your resolutions. We all start with a great goal for the year and 3 weeks later we fall off the wagon. Well not this year, cause this girl will stick to it! In a few weeks (when I get it) I'm starting the P90X challenge. That's right, 90 days of intensive workouts but I'm not giving up, I am going to lose weight and get into shape this year. A lot of whining and exhaustion will be going on during this time, but I'll have that goal in mind the whole time. Its going to be hard and its going to be scary and at time's I know I'll want to quit, but Im not giving up! Hear me roar!
     And my second resolution is to go to Vegas again this year. I had a blast when I went last summer and I can't wait to go again. I have a new list of things I need to see and do while I'm there. Last years was to go to Madame Tussauds, see M & M world, go to the Shark Reef, and do some shopping. This years list is to go to the Tournament of Kings, see Celine or Terry Fator (one or the either, because both are expensive), go to Madame Tussauds again, and do some shopping! Man I got a great deal last year at one of the boutiques in the Luxor (a great hotel to stay at), I spent 200 dollars and got a 100 dollars off, so I only spent 120 on 220 worth of clothes! I still think about that deal, its like I said in an earlier post I love a good bargin!

Shoes


Shoes, shoes, and more shoes. If I had a bigger closet, and bigger wallet, I would be rich on shoes! I can never resist a good bargain on a pair of cute shoes, which makes me a bit of an impulse buyer but one with really cute shoes. ;)

Triangle Rant

     Ok what is going on with the romance in Young Adult books! It seems that every time I pick up a book there is a love triangle involved. Why? Do they think that everyone is a fan of this, because I'm not! I hate love triangles, they seem so unreal. Yes, I know, they probably happen to people, but personally I've never seen this except on TV and in books.     I hate reading about love triangles in books, they ruin the story for me. I just can't get into it, I hated reading one in Twilight, it almost ruined the entire series for me. Why do authors put these girls into these situations? Its hard for them and me. Its almost an entire genre in its self. There's mystery, romance, paranormal, and now love triangle. So many books that I started reading were so good but eventually got ruined by a "lovely" love triangle. I wish that some of these authors would warn you ahead of time, something like "Warning: This book contains a love triangle, read at your own peril" on the cover of their books.
    Love triangles play with your feelings and I do not like that. I hate it when the book starts of with the two main characters, and your like "aww they sound so cute together, they totally belong together, and I can't wait till they get together", but soon the author introduces a new character and the heroine is like "Omg, I feel something for this guy, why, and I think I should be with him". When this happens I'm screaming in my head "No, you idiot, you don't feel anything for this guy, your just making drama, go back to the guy that's perfect for you". It totally ruins the book, like the book Enclave by Ann Aquirre, it was so good until she added another love interest for Deuce. And I had such high hopes for it, but now I don't think I'll read the next book.
     Why is it always one girl and two guys? With that couple the reader is thinking "aww, she has a tough choice between two great guys" but what about one guy and two girls? If that were to happen, I bet the reader would totally love to chew out the guy, because then he would be a player. Its a total double standard which isn't fair, because really, the girl with two guys is a player. Ugh can we just stop with the love triangles! Its not fair to anyone and it ruins everything. So writers, please stop writing them or give me fair warning about whats to happen. I hate investing my time and feelings into a book, only to get gypped and hurt.
     Sorry for the long rant, but ugh! I just hate, hate, hate, the triangle which seems like the main theme in Young Adult books. It just needs to stop because its not entertaining its terrible and I'm waiting for the day when they stop.

Return

     For the past few months, since August, I've been a live in nanny for a couple who have three kids. I loved working for them, their little girl was the cutest thing ever! Adali be 9 months old on the 28th, and was the happiest baby I have ever meet! Seriously, I would wake up at 8 am go up stairs and she would just be laying in her crib playing with her hands and as soon as she would See me she'd start smiling, talking, and kicking her legs. She would only start whining when she was starving, you couldn't have a more well behaved baby!
     As of now I'm not working for them anymore, since her grandma came to visit and will be staying for a while with them. I'm going to miss that little girl, I already am missing her a bit, but as with the daycare kids, I'll get over it.  This experience has matured me tons, I was never really comfortable with baby's, they scared the crap out of me when one was put into my arms, but now I love having one in my arms. No don't worry I'm not in a hurry to have one, but they just make your day better just by holding them. Oh and I haven't mentioned the boys, Landon and Preston, Landon is 2 (3 on the 27th) and Preston is 4. They were very easy to please and a blast to play with. Landon was so sweet, he'd want to help me with anything I needed and Preston, man that was one smart kid. He'd remember something I mentioned a few days ago and remind me of it. He's going to be the smartest kid in school.
     This was a great job, and one that I might be returning to next year, so well see what happens. I can say that its great to stay home, since August I've only been home on the weekends which was not enough time to unwind, now I have so much time on my hands that I'm doing things I usually put off for a while, such as my laundry. This time also is giving me time to think of what I want to do with my life. Do I want to be a Dental Hygienist? Do I  want to go to school? And what am I doing with my life now, that's helpful for my future? Lot's of stuff to think about during this little break. I hope you all have a great Holiday Season and I'll be seeing you all next year!

Ah, long time no see! Man I am terrible at this blog thing, I start it and the I get bored and forget about it until something happens and I remember that I have somewhere to write all of it down. So what have I been up to lately is what your probably wondering. Oh well nothing much, just finishing HIGH SCHOOL!!! Yes, you've heard me, I am officially done with school, well till I start college! Senior year has been very memorable, I went to dances that I've never been too, almost died in school, had a friend almost die last week, and I graduated on Wednesday!

WHAT!? You almost died and in school is what your probably saying. Well during 4th quarter some idiot decided to make a bomb threat, which stalled classes, classes that we're very important to some people, like me, and we had to stay in the gym for over 3 hours almost 4, we were a few min. shy from it. It ended up being some kid who didn't want to go to class, hello if you don't want to go to class then stay home! Oh and my friend who almost died, well it was after school and she was crossing the cross walk to her mothers car across the street when some idiot sophomore sped out of the exit and hit her! She was ok, don't worry, but she has some bruises and scratches. On graduation she was limping a bit but she's getting their. Our senior trip was planned for this coming Monday but who knows now, I bet some people will be opting out because she can't go because her parents want her to rest and heal.
       Now how was school, well I'll leave that to the next post cause its getting late. Until then, Au revoir!
