School & Update

Hey all!

Well, it's hot outside (Tell me/us something we don't already know, right?). It was in the 60's this morning (which is a nice change from the 80's/near 90's we've been having). I love cool weather--Fall weather. I hate summer--it's my least favorite season...EVER. 

School is going good--considering I'm only taking one class, right? Study group for Stats and I have a test on the 31st. It's a 3 chapter test--whoo-hoo... Notice my enthusiasm? 

I was looking online for a new backpack. Only because my laptop is 17.5" and the one I had didn't fit my laptop and it was a hassle. I used my computer bag, but then my shoulder started hurting. So, I scoured online and then I looked at High Sierra bags. Usually, I don't buy name brand backpacks, but I found this one that was 20" and it was on sale for 32$ (35$ after shipping). It's so nice. It's called "Grip", I think. I love it. It was originally $120 (or was it $102?, eh, who knows. Ha-ha). 

Was up til 3:45 this morning. Couldn't sleep. I hate taking sleeping pills because they just knock me on my ass--well, I had taken one Saturday night and when I woke up Sunday morning, I was all groggy. I made it until 11am, then I was out like a light. I woke up at 3:45pm. <-- That's the reason I couldn't sleep later! Damn it all...

I went out and bought some school supplies today at Wal-Mart. It's just a start, but I'll be collecting more. What I need for my dorm room is:

- Mattress Topper
- Mattress Pad
- Mini fridge
- Laundry pods
- Locks (For chest, etc)

Doesn't seem like a lot, does it? After I buy all that, I'm thinking of buying a new phone. The one I have now is a piece of shit. It shuts off on me, it doesn't send my texts, it freezes. I hate my andriod. People say that they love theirs, but I'm going to go with an iPhone 5. 

Well... I guess that's it. 

Keep cool and keep hydrated! Oh! Also, KEEP YOUR ANIMALS AND CHILDREN OUT OF HOT CARS. IF YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP YOUR DOG OUTSIDE, GET A SMALL SWIMMING POOL TO KEEP YOUR DOG HYDRATED AND SAFE! 

Peace out,

Update-ish

I don't know what went on with the post below. No idea. Crazy, huh? 

So I'm going to my college on Monday for my orientation and I'm super stoked! I just ordered my 20" backpack (my laptop is 17"). I got the backpack on sale, too! It's a High Sierra brand. I've never had that brand before, so we'll see if it works out! 

I have been obsessed with the Raspberry Lemonade Low Calorie Gatorade. It's soooooooooooo yummy! :D <3

I've been thinking of creating a new blog for university life. What do you think? I don't know yet, I might just keep this one. Hm... 

It's supposed to be in the triple digits for the entire week next week. 

Oh! Speaking of next week...

I find out what dorm hall I'm in as well as my roommate(s)! I'm SUPER EXCITED! Hehe. I hope that I don't get stuck with an 18/19 year old and a single room. That would suck. I'm pretty sure I was the first one to put in my housing application, so I should get first priority on the hall that I want--I'm hoping! *crosses fingers*

Well... More later, I suppose!

Tattoos

Hey guys!

I want to get an anchor tattoo on my foot. Just to always remind myself that no matter what situation I'm in, or whatever life has to throw at me, that I will always keep myself grounded and on stable ground. To always look ahead and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 

I think it'd be a cool idea: Except, that the foot is probably the worst place to get a tattoo. I already have one in my right forearm. I've been thinking of getting another one here soon. Maybe on my arm, but I REALLY want that anchor tat. Ideas? 

Well... Summer quarter starts up on Monday. It's the last class that I need before I'm DONE at Community College and will be going onto a University. Wow. I can't believe it! Wowza! 


Anyway... That's all I have for now. Oh. Did anybody see the Supernatural season 9 finale? OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Later, bitches.

June

Who here doesn't like summer? Granted, it's a time where all the brats, I mean, children, I mean... Well, younger people get out of school for three months (or two, if you begin school in August), but for me, I have a week off and then I'm BACK in school for summer quarter. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of being able to spend my ENTIRE summer sleeping in all day, staying up all night, doing absolutely NOTHING, but, I'm not a little kid or in high school anymore. I'm in college. 

Speaking of that, I head up to go to University in the Fall! Whoot Whoot! I just need to finish up my summer quarter here at the community college, (I have to take Statistics, ugh...lol). I'm not going into nursing, or education (I have NO patience for those little... *coughs* Ahem...), or business, etc. Who knows. NEVER EDUCATION. lol. Some people have the knack for it, I, however, do NOT. 

So it's the beginning of June. So much opportunity will present itself in July and on. I find out my rooming assignment (and who my roommate is!) in the middle of July, it's one step closer to finishing up my AA, and for to me leave home for the first time. We'll see if I sink or swim. 

CC graduation is coming up here on the 14th. Everybody has been asking me if I'm walking or not. My answer? NO! I'm NOT walking! Then THEY have the balls to be offended when I say no. They ask my why not, and my response is, "I'm not finished. If I'm going to walk for something, I want to be FINISHED." but then they say, "But plenty of people aren't finished and still walk". I say, "I want to be able to feel like I accomplished something to make myself feel proud. So I don't wake up and say, 'Oh. I didn't finish. I'm a freakin' failure". THAT shuts them up. *shrugs* My own prerogative, I guess. I don't know. 

Um... I think that's everything. Oh. Besides it's HOT AS BALLS OUTSIDE. Blah. I HATE HOT WEATHER. Give me SNOW and COLD WEATHER any day. Fuck this hot shit. 

Well, I guess that's all for now, folks!

Daylight Savings

Ah, here we are once again. That time where we "Spring Forward" into life. Did you all set your clocks ahead ONE hour? My phone and computer did it automatically, but I had to set all the other clocks in the house ahead. Do I like this one? I keep forgetting! Lol. I know that it stays lighter out during the night and it stays darker longer in the morning. *sigh* Oh well. What can one do? (Move to a country where there is no daylight savings?)  Oh shut up! lol. 

I have two tests tomorrow: Biology and History. Oh yay...  NOT. Don't get me wrong, I love History, but I REALLY need to study for my Bio test. 

On the flip side (Who says that anymore?), my tattoo is healing nicely! It's just itching now and I STILL can't scratch it... Grr... [insert frustration here]. 

So I found this one quote (I like putting quotes up on my big whiteboard) when I was searching the internet. I googled, "Zombie quotes" and I found this. 

Blood is really warm

it's like drinking hot chocolate 

but with more screaming

(Courtesy of Ryan Mecum, 

Zombie Haiku: Good Poetry for your...Brains)

So this one is on my whiteboard for the week or two. I like to change quotes about every 2 weeks or so. But if I'm lazy, the quote will stay up for about a month. 

Rejection hurts. Just thought you all should know that. 

More later,

How Do I + Nickelback

How Do I?

How do I tell you the truth

When it could hurt us both?

I don’t want to lose you

Over what I have to say

Will you hate me?

Will you look at me less?

I wonder what your reaction will be

You’re my best friend

I don’t want that to change

You’re finally happy

Or am I assuming?

If I don’t you my truth

Maybe you won’t be my friend anymore

I guess you could say

I’m more than afraid of rejection

And losing my best friend

More than anything

I’m afraid

I’m afraid of telling you

What I have to say

Here it goes

Deep breath

Can I do this?

Do you want to here?

Well, here it goes

How does one say

That they’re in love with their best friend?

Oh, did I just say that?

There it is

There’s my truth

Do you hate me now?

Are you repulsed?

I’m too afraid to tell you in person

Or even over the phone

So I wrote it down instead

I just want you to know that

I will always be there for you

No matter what

Pretend I never told you

Are things awkward and unpleasant yet?

I’m sorry

Delete this from your memory

Can we go back to how we were before?

To being happy?

To being carefree?

You bring me happiness and joy

Do I bring you happiness?

I just thought you should know

So, lay it on me

The rejection, the let down

Delete

Delete

Rewind

Goodbye

Update and Song

So here we are again. This Sunday is Daylight Savings... Meaning that the clocks go FORWARD an hour. Am I looking forward to that? I guess. 

I have a Biology test on Monday-- so not looking forward to that, but I'll study hard! 

So I've been obsessed with this Christina Perri song called, "Human". Man... I'll post a link below so you all can listen to it.

There it is! 

Did I mention that it's 63 degrees today? Does that mean Spring has come for us on the West? I have a bunch of friends that live in the Midwest and East Coast and they're supposed to be getting more snow. Just think... It'll all go away when SUMMER gets here! Lol! 

Anyway... I think that's it for now..

Laters, 

~Rio
