Hello There My Lovelies,
I really don't have a lot to write except that I feel burned out. I would love to just relax and do nothing for a while. Today I was suppposed to work on moving among other things. Instead I opted to just veg out in front of the TV until I had to go to work.
This is my last weekend at my apartment. I don't have the key yet for my new place, so I do hope that I get it by the time I am completely moved in. Most of my stuff is in storage, and I just plan on bringing as little as possible into the new place. It feels nice that I am not taking a lot with me.
School is business as usual. I've got 3 weeks until finals, and my bankruptcy class continutes to suck hairy balls. The final for that class is 50% of our grade and I hope that I do well. I have been studying more, so we'll see.
Other than that, I've been practicing for my dance performance next Friday. I am looking forward to this year's performance at Rakassah. I am also waiting for my costume to be finished.
Due to everything that's been going on, I haven't put as much effort into practicing as I have in previous years. Last time I danced there was March 2007.
I did the sword routine, choreographed my own routine, and have my own costume made. This time around, I am not dancing with the sword. But I am getting a new skirt. I am happy for that.
Anyway, that is enough banter for now.

Busy
Hello There My Lovelies,
So my day started early today. I filed for graduation, and I also stopped to have a chat with my Bankruptcy Law teacher. Turns out she's never even used the software she expects us to use for the project and wants us to ask each other for help. I don't understand, but I don't have any energy left to argue or cause a stir. I just need to pass the class so I can finally get out of the program. I guess I must've swallowed the "I don't give a fuck" pill.
But I did feel a little better after talking to her. She said that as long as I explain my answers, I'll be fine. She's not necessarily looking for the correct data to be entered in, as long as we explain our answers. Since she explained it that way, I feel like I have a shot at getting a decent grade. Now I just need to start studying for our final in a couple of weeks.
I also went to the dentist for a teeth cleaning. Turns out that I have a receding gumline, and need to take skin from my mouth and fill it in. Oral surgery that is going to cost me since our insurance at work sucks huge donkey dong. I am so not looking forward to that, but such is life.
Right now I am at my grandma's house, visiting her, my grandpa and my dad. We had dinner together and chocolate silk pie with oreo cookie crust, whipped cream and strawberries for desert. That was so delicious.
It's nice to see them, and my grandma got a new dog. She got a poodle from the animal shelter named Molly.
I am normally not a poodle fan, but my heart just melted each time she looked at me. It's so sad how skiddish she is. When I move close, she is scared and backs away. She obviously was abused and it's sad to see that. But my grandpa brought her to me and put her on my lap, and Molly let me pet her. It was very therapeutic.
Anywho, that is all for now.

Have you ever ?
Hello Again,
Have you ever heard a song that just grabs you, but you don't know the title or who it's by ? And for the life of you, you just can't figure it out ? And no one around you knows what you are talking about ?
Usually when I hear a song, I am able to figure it out because I listen to the lyrics and type them in Google.
But a couple of months ago I heard a song on the radio that I loved so much, but couldn't figure out who it's by because I couldn't understand the lyrics. The lead singer's voice wasn't so clear, but that's how it goes in grunge music.
That song was called "Would" by Alice in Chains. I love that song. That band is compared to Nirvana a lot. Apparently the lead singer died the same day as Kurt Cobain and they are both grunge bands. Back in the early nineties when all this was popular, I wasn't into this stuff like my classmates in middle school and high school were. I was into the teeny-bopper music. I didn't get into rock/alternative/grunge until I was in my second year of college. By then I realized what I was missing out on.
Yesteday I finally figured out the song because I heard it on the radio and looked at the playlist. I took down various songs listed and typed them into YouTube until I came up with the right song.
I feel so accomplished.

Long Time, No See !
Hello There My Lovelies,
You know what is nice, is when you hear from someone you haven't heard from in such a long time. Within two days I heard from two people who I haven't seen in ages. First one was Jaime, a girl that I met while I was in Barcelona.
For the first month that I was in Barcelona, I went to a school to learn how to teach English as a Second Language, to get my TEFL certificate. Jaime was in my class and after class her and I along with the other ladies in the class would get together after to have a drink. Out of all the people in my class there, she's the only one I've managed to keep in contact with. She ended up traveling to Japan because her husband was in the military, but now she is back here in the states.
The second person I heard from was my aunt (step dad's sister). The last time I saw her was when my I stayed with her at her house. Back then her children, my step cousins, were kids. Now they are finishing high school and in college. It was nice to hear about how they are doing and to see pictures of them grown up.
Life has been crazy for me as usual. I've been continuing to slowly haul stuff to storage and to my new place. What sucks is watching my roommate pack, because that means that this is all real and that we are really moving out, and that I am really leaving that place. In fact, we'll be out next week, and he'll be out of the country by next weekend. It's interesting to think that just six months ago I was living in my old place, and hadn't even considered moving out. Now 5 months later, I've moved twice.
And my bankruptcy law class still sucks balls. I've been working real hard on that project. And luckily I've made a lot of progress. Now I just need to find time to study for the exam.
And also still on my to do list is to hand in my transcript from my old university to the counselor so that I can apply for graduation.
So that is all for now.

Exhausted
Hello There My Lovelies,
So today was a busy day. I spent the morning hauling half of my stuff to storage. I swear, sometimes a storage can make a world of a difference. I feel like there is less clutter in my life, which is the feeling that I was going for.
I then tried to get my information off my harddrive from my 5 year old Dell laptop that crapped out on me last year. I am thinking about buying a new laptop soon.
The weather here is rainy and stormy, which is good. California is experiencing a drought and our Governator says that we may have to start rationing our water supply. Unfortunately this rainy weather we're getting won't be enough because we've been having dry spells for the last three years.
Speaking of our governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, I hear that he may return to Hollywood after his term is up. I hope he does. I was an Arnold fan when he was in Hollywood. I've always wanted to hear him say the word "gubernatorial". My mom is a total Arnold fan, and basically we're just proud that an Austrian made it into office.
Anywho, time to log off and start working on more productive things such as that ugly bankruptcy project.
