Feels good to be m.i.a for a while, I definitely got so much things done and I feel so accomplished by it. 

Been getting a lot of college things out of the way, I’m really excited for it, and to be honest that’s all I really want to focus on right now. I haven’t been giving a lot of my friends attention by hanging out with them or anything, not that I don’t want to hang out with them or not, but in a way it’s giving me an easier transition when I don’t see them as much any more (not that I don’t want to see them as much anymore) The whole going to college thing got so real when  a few of the senior’s names were put up in front of the office as what they’ll be graduating as (honors, distinguished scholars, vds and sds), names including my friends and I. Seriously as graduation is approaching the thought is always giving me goosebumps!

I’ve recently been doing a lot of babysitting because my dad invested in a house for my oldest sister to live in. I know I’ve said the whole “never do business with friends or relative” deal so many times, but hopefully, and by hopefully I mean this better work, god willing, it’ll turn out fine. We’ve done a lot lately by renovating it, turning on all the water and heating things, and this week we’re going to get real used to going to Ikea. 

My best friend, Charlene, is getting her debut business started. We just began practice yesterday and it was pretty cool. Let me tell you it was incredibly awkward the whole day for me, and I usually I am never shy, because I’m the only one that doesn’t go to my friend’s school, so of course everyone’s just talking to each other and like I’ll try to start a conversation but it’s a little annoying when you only get one word responses. But hopefully (HOPEFULLY!) things will start to warm up between her friends and I. 

My birthday is slowly approaching and I’m getting a little excited for it but I’m trying to remain as calm as possible. My sister and I are combing our birthdays together for a pretty good age party (21 and 18- that’s something to celebrate). We’re getting there on the whole getting everything together. 

I could have sworn that while thinking this whole post out, that I had more to say…

Despite the fact that I read this in my Lit class during a practice timed test, I couldn’t have been more interested in this article. I mean it just makes you think and puts a little aspect of your life into perspective, and I couldn’t have related to it more. My Lit class has been seriously so boring, and I really don’t like the things that we read in class compared to last year’s readings, but this one, good job, teach, good job. 

Another Monday, another day closer till the day I graduate, the day I last walk into those prison-like gates with some fat S.I.A standing there checking if we have our ID’s on and to welcome us bitterly with a “good morning”. Another Monday closer till the day I last hang out with my group of friends, that along the months I’ve grown so much closer to, some more than others, but man have they made my 4 years of bullshit bearable. I’m so close. A few more tests left, a handful of lectures to deal with, some senior events that I have to put up, I can’t forget prom or grad-night. After getting accepted to my college that I’ve been yearning for, all I have left to look forward to is graduation. Shit, time is going so fast it’s almost hard to take it all in. I don’t even think it’ll hit me until I actually get my name called and I walk down that red carpeted aisle back into my seat….

Getting accepted to all of the colleges that you applied to, god there’s no better feeling. 

Get ready Fullerton, you’ve just got another kinesiology major!

The things yoga does to you! God I feel so good. Tomorrow’s Friday, it’s going to be hot as hell but I’ve got on my sun dress and it’ll be a good day! I’m ready for the weekend:)

to put on my Nike Free Runs and run a marathon. Run the Great Wall of China, the Mozambique beach-line, the fucking trail of the Grand Canyon. As short as this feeling will come, I feel incredible, like I can do anything. 

If only I had this amount of motivation in all aspects of my life, the things I could do! I know, I know I shouldn’t blame “if only” when in reality it’s just up to me, but seriously…IMAGINE!?
