Howdy!

Howdy! (I’m really enjoying that greeting. I’ll be leaving my home in SA and attending school at Texas A&M in the fall of 2010 and it’s the official greeting of the school. AY AY AY AY AY!)

I have fallen off the wagon :( and it has been a big fall. I can’t pin point the exact moment, but I know for sure that I was feeling really unmotivated after I broke my right pinky toe at DisneyWorld. I was on a trip for HACU (Hispanic Association of College and Universities) and I was helping out one of the many lovely people that I met walk back to their room at the resort after a fun night of drinking, and then he stepped on my toe and it’s STILL healing. I try running but I can only manage for a short distance.

Other than that every thing is pretty great. I received a scholarship to A&M for 10K a year. I’m applying for summer internships, I have an interview tomorrow and on Wednesday for work in town, and I’m doing really well in school. Kayla is amazing, by the way :) .

Some things that I have learned since I last left you are …… well a lot of things. Come back tomorrow, I promise it will be amusing. :)

Hi guys, not a whole to post today. The morning started off great, I made it Tassia’s graduation and was the first to see them. I was running late and I saw them running over the bridge at Lackland AFB here in SA, I know, lucky me to be so close to see my bff graduate! And when I saw them I started to cry, I’m just so proud of her, I couldn’t hold it in. Seeing them run was almost just like it was her running, these are the people she has been around for the last 2-and-a-half months, they are an extension of her so as cheesy as it sounds, it made me cry.

When I parked my car I got out in time to see them for a second time. I was away from the crowd so I had a front row view and I spotted her. I snapped a pic and later showed it to her momma. I hung out with her family for about an hour and then had to leave to get to school. I got a 92 on my organic chem quiz!!!!

Then I had half a tuna sandwich before lab and the day just went downhill from there. We used ether in lab, and we had to do a GC of the finished product. The machine is in an almost enclosed room save for two doors and I have been puking since I got home. I can taste the food from earlier…..gross!

PIcs tomorrow, also fun colors for text.

Long time no see

Hi y’all it’s been a while. I’m so excited, tomorrow I finally get to see my best friend Tassia. She’s out of basic training and I get to go see her run lol and then she gets base privileges. Unfortunately I have a test tomorrow and lab, so I can only see her run :( .

Crazy week

I am so emotional right now it’s not even funny. It’s the week before shark week and I am going all kinds of crazy. I just want to sleep it off but can’t cause I have mid-terms and damn homework.

Sorry about no post yesterday.

I finally went back to dance today.

Post manana

Obsessed!

VitaTops are amazing!

It was my first day back at the gym…can feel the soreness coming on! YAY!

I forgot to take pics of the days meals, so tomorrow’s post will be a lot better, it will be a normal post.

Okay, I’m back

post tomorrow

Warning: Long post and lots of pictures and opinions.

Over the weekend a new audio tape was released that has been linked to Osama bin Laden.  The Al Qaeda leader called the President vulnerable, I think bin Laden is the one who is vulnerable, in a little over 100 days in office the new President is closer to finding you and finally bringing some meaning to this long fought war than the former President was in 8 years.  You are vulnerable because now more than ever you are trying to reach out to the American people, Mr. Bin Laden you are right to shake in your boots. Oh, and that “new” picture of you— good photoshop work!

What are everyone’s thoughts on the Serena incident? I know she’s toned but the way that woman ran away from her was hilarious. She showed class at the end by shaking Clijsters’ hand, she has good sportsmanship— sort of.

The VMA’s: I love GaGa and her fashion choices, although they may not work outside the celeb realm she works it like no other! Diddy’s pause while trying to figure out who was the runner-up and award them the best rap video of the year- hilarious. Beyonce’s and LG’s performances- amazing. Beyonce showing class such class and letting Taylor Swift have her moment— TV gold. JAy-Z’s and Alicia’s performance was amazing but what the hell was Lil’ Mama doing running up there??? Trying to steal Kanye’s thunder? She should be slapping herself for it.

Now for the moment that everyone is talking about:

—best I could find, a lot have been pulled by Viacom.
I didn’t see this moment live because I changed the channel as soon as I heard she won- Drop Dead Diva was on and for me it was between Lady Gaga and Beyonce, don’t get me wrong I love TS. Well then my twitter feed started blowing up with all this feed about the incident so I youtube’d it and my mouth dropped, the look on Taylor’s face is heart-breaking. She couldn’t manage to finish and it was her first VMA I believe. He later apologized on his blog, which was overwhelmed by people trying to view it, I hope he pays his PR’s extra for this. At first I was think that he and Joe Wilson should hang out, but now I’m starting to think it was fixed.
Everyone knows that Kanye is known to blow up at award shows, it’s no secret he is a cry baby, and later on at the end of the show B wins “Video of the Year”. So, I’m thinking, how could the “video of the year” not win all other categories it was in??? But, it could also be wishful thinking because I do enjoy Kanye’s music a lot and that was such a career-killing move! What an idiot!

Happy birthday Isaac!

Happy birthday Isaac!


It was my nephew’s birthday- he turned 5! He’s a couple of months younger than Kayla and they are very close. The cake was super cute and homemade! I had a plain piece with— dun, dun, dun Nutella of course!

Okay dolls I’m off to class boo Algebra aka Business Math aka most boring class ever!

Most, if not all of us, remember exactly what we were doing the moment we found out about the attacks on that fated day.

I was sitting in my Drama class and in rushes Ms. Bombella, telling us to tune into CNN, two planes had just crashed into the twin towers and another plane had just crashed into the Pentagon.  There was mass confusion, no one knew what to think- the thought of a terrorist attack had not crossed my mind— then the name Osama bin Laden popped up and everyone knew that it was no coincidence but an attack.  Just before class ended, the first tower fell.

Walking around school day was like a blur, everyone was talking about it and we later heard of United 93 going down.
President Obama said today, that it is our duty to remember this and every September about the events that unfolded that day and have changed all of our lives so much.  There are many brave men and women who have lost their lives trying to find this foe Osama; and many still remain overseas trying to find him and give this nation some of the justice it deserves.  Never again.

We stopped at Howl at the Moon and went to Swig and then I visited my friend Emerald over at Acapulco Sam’s.

I love this song! We performed to this at the recital

I’m in Organic Lab so I’m going to keep this short…. but first I want to share with you pics of my toe thongs.  I love them!  They’re so cute and easy to dance with, I feel like they make me work harder than shoes and make me hold my form more correctly (I can feel when I roll my feet and can see if I am or not pointing my feet.)  I need to purchase some new ones cause they are getting stretched out :(

Monday I was still upset by what had happened on my birthday so I sat down and wrote all these bad things about this guy, just you know stuff I wanted to get off my chest and how I thought he was a huge a-hole and all this other mean stuff. It was never meant to be sent and I didn’t, but in the midst of all that fury I thought about it a couple of times, then I cried and fell asleep. Then it was gone yesterday morning, it was such a good release of energy. I always try to approach things rationally but emotions are not rational and sometimes it just helps to get over things faster by being a crazy biatch.

Okay I’m off to class, I made a Boca spicy chik’n patty for lunch…. how I missed them.
One of my new faves!
