Senior Year!

Family.

2012-01-07T20:59:00.000-08:00

I am a neutral party. My dad is that way and I have been raised with the same ideals and views.

No specifics for public eyes, but I'd like to say... whatever it is, if you're family, you are family. Money, greed, grudges, none of this should stay between family. It affects the younger generation, it affects your older generation. It makes me wonder if some people really realize the effects their decisions and actions have on other people.

I haven't had a more perfect Tet and Christmas as the year when my cousins and I were grouped around 20+ people for pictures, when my grandpa dressed up as Santa Claus and handed out presents for each cousin that was funded by all the aunts and uncles.

I come home as often as I can on weekends to try and spend time with my family, but it hurt sometimes to come home to problems like this, to gossip going around the family, and to the failing health of my grandparents. They aren't getting any younger, their steps are low and clumsy, their sight gets blurrier by the month, and yet the family that they live for cannot get along.

So this New Years, with everyone wishing for health and prosperity and all those great things, I wish just for family.

FINALS

Yes, we're talking the "F*ck I Never Actually Learned Shit" season.

I feel like in ways, maybe changing myself for the better needs to be such a big change that it's not just not going out and it's not just showing up to class. It's hard. Of all the things that I do, what is supposed to give in? I tell myself every semester, this semester is going to be it, and it never is. In fact, I am procrastinating on finishing this final paper of the semester by typing this blog. It makes me feel like, in order to be where I want to be, I have to be conscious about it all the time. ALL THE TIME. I'm also not sure how to do it anymore.

Personal planner please?

...and speaking of which, I need to get on Christmas gifts. stat. *takes a deep breath* shooting for the A in this one. It's all me.

Happy Monday Everyone...

So while a lot of people got to enjoy the whole weekend, I spent most of it working and doing hw. Therefore I am more on the brain dead side today. I haven't vented in a long time in a blog, but I think I should give my friends and boyfriend a break this time around.

So... my bad for not remembering everything people tell me? I admit, I don't have the best memory, but I swear that was a passive aggressive comment against me. I feel like everyone is taking their jab at me. I'm sure I'm listening to everyone when they're speaking more than other people are listening to me when I'm speaking, so don't question that. Sure, this post is a passive aggressive action, but I don't think it's really passive aggressive when no one reads :)

We have 3 VSA events this week. I have an ochem exam Monday followed by a 15%-of-my-grade Gero assignment due Tuesday and a presentation I probably won't get the chance to prep for until Monday night. I honestly have caught myself thinking a lot lately about quitting. Who needs to stay on board when no one seems to want your help anyway!?

I'm about to turn emo. I've been trying to help it all semester.

Halloween Cookies!

I love these Pillsbury holiday sugar cookies! I was introduced to them back in kindergarten when they still came in a long roll of dough and you had to cut them. Now they're pre-cut so you can't really mess up the cute designs on them. Come Christmas season, there are typically at least 3 different designs! I'm really eager to make these and hope I have time to make some soon! ^_^

Back?!

It's been a long time since I tried to get back into the habit of blogging. I think this would be my 3rd attempt since I stopped doing it on a regular basis. We'll see!

This picture is from APASA's event tonight, "Night Market" in which VSA volunteered to host the Hi Striker game :)

E-board, you have no idea how much I love and appreciate you all! We've only been a month into school and I so know that you guys are going to make my year!

Johnny, you tooooo, you know! <3
