  • wow...wow...

    so remember when xanga used to be the cool thing that every one did back in hs? i hardly do. funny thing how that was soooo long ago (or at least it feels like). and maybe this is just me, but i feel as tho i'm hardly the same person as i was back then. i'd also like to believe that these are positive changes that i'm seeing in myself (although some might argue otherwise), and that i am a more responsible and mature person. maybe. then again, maybe not. i graduated college with a degree in aerospace engineering, have a full time job, am dating this really great guy, yet i still live at my parents house, still let my mom make my lunch everyday, and dont always remember to take the trash out to the curb. but quite frankly, i can't complain. i realize that i am starting to ramble on a little bit, but who asked you to read this in the first place? what would make you think that my life is so interesting that its worth taking the few minutes out of your day to read about what my thoughts are? really, i'd like to kno. for as often as i find myself pondering that notion, i've still yet to come to a reasonable conclusion. there's nothing particularly profound in the words i'm presenting to you today, nor is it especially enlightening (i love utilizing alliterations)...so why keep reading? b/c i'm young and opinionated, and whether or not they are opinions that you agree with, they are a point of view that is being presented thanks to the first amendment, b/c i am a proud american who exercises her rights as often as possible. i believe that suffices as a valid reason. at least for now. mostly b/c i don't have a better one. how sad is that? the only rationale i have for saying what i say is that "i can". but wait, we are not talking about my rationale, but yours rather, for continuing to subject yourself to the ramblings of a new adult. if you've made it to this point i applaud you. and not in the way you'd like to think. this is a sympathy clap b/c clearly you have nothing more exciting to do than spend your time in front of a computer screen (or with your face buried in your ipad) and read on about the randomness that is my life, which i haven't even gotten to yet! oh what a shame! today really was quite exciting. i went to work, answered some emails, drank my coffee, ate my sandwich, did some work, then went to the gym and came home. riveting, i know. and now that i have subjected you to such an enthralling recap of my day, i suppose the only logical thing to do is quit while i'm still ahead.

     

    hasta luego.

  • rrooooaaaarrrrrr!!

    i love how xanga decides to remind me every now and then that i've been neglecting it and should post something. so here i am once again with the semi-annual update on my life...

    cross country nationals is this coming weekend...and my mamma is coming to watch! she hasn't seen me race in two years! so it'll be nice to have her there again. and next monday is my senior design team's 50% review/PDR...so i've been fairly busy prepping for that...we are competing in NASA's University Student Launch Initiative competition next spring, with schools from all over the nation competing, its gonna be intense!

    but aside from the studying and running...there is not much else. guys are stupid idiots sometimes...but that's nothing new...i mean seriously, i can't be the only one to blame. and if any genuine feelings were ever there, then how is it than you can be so turned off in a matter of an instant? grrrr.

    i'll be back in torrance sometime in mid-december...i've had the scary realization that i'll graduate in a year and then i have to go out into the real world. grad school? i'm thinking yes if it means i can put off the "growing up" part a little longer. of course that means i'm gonna have to acquire the necessary funds to pursue such a route.

    i think that's about it

    hasta luego

  • not-so-sweet summertime :)

    so once again the random xanga return for no reason other than i feel like doing nothing productive but can't bring myself to do nothing. if that makes any sense at all. the summer is fast approaching an end and i cannot say i'm particularly upset about leaving the C.O.T. tomorrow. since i got here its been nothing but working and working out. granted, i make bank at my internship and excersise gives you endorphins...both of which make you happy, but i really can't call torrance "home" anymore. i have very few friends here (or rather very few ppl who make an effort to contact me in any way shape or form at any point) and the extended family has been nothing but difficult to deal w/ since my arrival at the end of june. even today (my one and only day off), i haven't finished a report for my professor summing up my summer internship (i'm trying to get technical elective credit for it), i've yet to even think about packing, and all i can seem to focus on is how eager i am to be in my own house (in FL) and drive around in my mustang (it's been sitting in the garage at my house all summer) and be w/ my friends again. i realize i make it sound absolutely horrible being in torrance, but sometimes it feels like it...

  • three more weeks?!

    wow. i am almost done with three years of college. in three short weeks i will be able to call myself a senior. wow (again). all i can say is that it has gone by waaayyy too fast. and while i look ahead with great excitment, i am still scared like no other about the future. i mean seriously, once i'm done with school, i'll have to get a job and a place to live, and won't be on  a team anymore (i think that's the scariest part of all). xc/track has been my family since i got here, being on a team like that has been such an integral part of my life for as long as i can remember. it just seems like a lot to take in.

    but aside from all that, life is fine and dandy. sort of. still waiting to hear back from my internship (keep your fingers crossed). we qualified for nationals w/ an A-standard in the 4x800m relay. hopefully i'll be able to hit the A in my 1500m this afternoon. school is intense. but what else would be expected? no new bf's in the picture anytime soon. but i am having waaayy too much fun in the meantime, so i'm not complaining. lol.

  • oh my!

    needless to say, i've forgotten about this silly thing. perhaps it is that my life has been rather unexciting and there is very little i feel that i need to share with the world, or it might be that running and studying have taken up every moment of my life leaving little to no room for anything else. in either case, i can't complain. i love being here at school (despite the rice and bean withdrawls), i love my teammates, and as nerdy as it sounds, i enjoy every bit of my classes. to hasta luego. i'm not about to make any suggestions as to when i might write again...look how long it took me to get this one done.
