2012!

Well, the year is finally at it's ending point and I'm happy to say, that I got into college for Winter term. So much has gone on in 2011, I graduated high school, I'm now a college student, I moved away from my friends once again. But now I feel like I can re-start my life. Every year (to me) is like a re-start button. Even though I can't undo what I did in the past, I have the future to look forward too. I hope to be a better person each year and try different things and to get out of my comfort zone more and more.

My New Year's Resolutions:

~ Get a 3.5 or higher GPA in college
~ Get a job
~ Lose weight
~ Keep my room clean
~ Cut back on junk food/eating out
~ Save money
~ Be a better friend

I don't usually have this many Resolutions because I wait until my birthday to make them so they're "Birthday Resolutions", but I do New Year's also. All in all, I'm happy with how 2011 came out, but I'm so ready for 2012. I'm ready to grow as a person and make better choices for my life instead of following what everybody else does (Like that's stopped me before)! I don't want ANY drama in the New Year, but their's going to be some somewhere.


Peace, Love, and Happy New Years, you sinners!

College

16 more days until Winter term starts!
16 more days until Rio starts college!

I have to go to a funeral tomorrow...I don't wanna go, but I guess I have too.
I'm almost all caught up on my laundry! :D

Well, nothing is new with Rio. I haven't heard from any of my friends from Vancouver. I guess my one friend is busy with her daughter and what not, so it doesn't bother me. Sigh.

I'd still like to get a Christmas present ON Christmas... Maybe some snow too...
I guess Santa is skipping over my house this year. D:

Well, more later you sinners

Registering for classes

My darling sinners!

How you would be proud of me! I took my placement testing and now I go in today at 3 to register for classes! RIO DID IT!! YAY! :3

I'm going to ask my adviser if I could be placed in with the Professors that I picked out (I looked at their syllabus) and I could ask~ No harm in that. :)

More later, Sinners!

~Rio!

Sunday

Well my sinners, today's Sunday and Rio is stuck doing laundry and cleaning her room. Along with organizing everything, finding a home, etc.

It kind of sucks that I don't have as big of room as I used too, but it's kind of a good thing also.

Pros

+ Room gets messy, less things to clean

+Cozy and comfortable

Cons

- Less room

But, I'm happy with what I got.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait until I start college. The knowledge of knowing that I made it (even though it took forever) and I'm doing something with my life (if you wanna call it that), makes me happy.

Well, I more later, you sinners!

Christmas Miracle's

I GOT MY ONLINE MATH CLASS DONE!
RIO IS GOING TO COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!

I got home from Vancouver around...8:30ish (I think) and I found SNOW on the ground! It was everywhere! I was so happy I wanted to cry. I'll finally get my white Christmas after all after 2 years. The snow's staying and it's 22 degrees outside.

I'll start college in January

The fucked up part, though, is that I won't get my diploma until June of 2012, where it'll say I'm a 2012 graduate, when I'm a fucking 2011 graduate. Fucking school. Hopefully I can get that fixed!

Anyway, Rio needs a nice, hot, relaxing shower.

Snow

So... Walla Walla is finally going to be getting snow and hopefully it'll stick!
My eyes are burning because I didn't get to bed until around 3am. I'm visiting my friends in Vancouver and Ember (their daughter) kept crying (even though everytime I woke up every few hours and she just happened to cry) I just ignored it or didn't hear it.

The futon hurt my back.

My back hurts

My eyes burn

It's going to be a 4 or 5 hour drive back home. The last leg of the trip seems the longest, and I'm hoping that the roads aren't icy. (Mom doesn't have chains for her tires and at some spots on the mountain passes, you're required to have chains or else they won't let you pass)

Ugh.

~Rio

aoauishd

So I go to bed with a killer migraine and an upset stomach. I briefly wake up with a thumping migraine and mom coming in and shaking my fucking head DOESN'T HELP ME! >.<

Anyway...

The uncle thinks he can just sit out here and watch TV when people are trying to do important sutff.

Crafters/Rant

Okay. So... After reading Kat's blog and my response, I guess I might as well write one also. This is what I wrote for her blog response:

Personally, from what I've seen... People prefer either to do it themselves or to just buy it so they don't have to spend money they don't have or do have (which ever is their preference) to get what they want.

My mom does a lot of plastic canvas and she said that they're not going to be doing a lot of that (meaning companies aren't going to be supplying it as much anymore) and they're's not enough patterns out there for plastic canvas that she can do anymore. She can't do the 10 count because it's too small and she has carpoltunnel and arthritis in her hands and she can't do that cross-stitch stuff anymore either. She told me when we were in Jo-Ann's that she's running out of patterns because she's done them all already (I don't know if I've already said that) and now she has to do something else.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me. But I guess homemade stuff isn't good enough for people anymore because they're already buying it the way it came. (Which is fine in some cases... Most people don't have enough time and etc)

Plus, if a crafter is going to sell their stuff, they have to account for the taxes and how much they want and/or going to get out of it. If they over-price items, then they're not going to get anything for it, but if they under price it, I guess it could go either way.

I don't know. I guess that's just MY opinion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe it's just me or something. I know people like to cook and people will buy food. Homemade food is good (Especially grandma's cookies!)

Maybe store bought saves time and the trouble of doing it ourselves because America's gotten lazy. It's not back in the olden days where people actually had to get off their ass and manually turn the TV off without the clicker, or that they got three square meals a day or that they didn't have video games back then. Or even, God forbid! EXERCISE!

Yeah. Life sucks and then you die. Big deal. Back then people had it right. Technology's made people lazy (But it's helpful, too. I'm not anti-technology. I'm anti-stupid people).

Good God, people.

Nothin

I've got nothing to say
