  • life changing..

    Turning 25 in 9 days will be life changing. not only will I be a year older (and ran my 6th marathon the day prior), but on that same day i'll be embarking on a journey of learning about the Catholic faith, growing as in individual, and building my relationship with God.
    ...more to come.

    p.s. thanks to those who've been supportive!!

  • Random & All over the place...

    Since I haven't given much thought to any certain topic or story.. Here's what's randomly going through my head..

    I went to It's A Grind on pioneer/183rd the other day and wondered why do they still make "compact" parking spaces? why? what's the point? people don't really drive "compact cars" anymore. It's just asking for accidents.

    Work has been good despite the fact that I am picking up after others. Sorry, but the truth hurts -- You're not doing your job and you're not doing it well! I get left with work that was not completed the day before. Although I find it irritating and irresponsible, I just smile and laugh b/c I think it's a joke. haha.. he who laughs last last laughs last last.. what?!

    I find myself around people who complain a lot. It bugs the hell out of me, but what can I do? All I can do is to tolerate it more and more. (and bite my tongue so hard that it might fall off) -- people who know me well, know i'm quick to talk.

    I thought I talk a lot? damn, some people need to shut it. just shhhhhhhhh... you're wasting your breath.

    Surround yourself with positive people who can make you laugh and smile, and you're all good.

    I was supposed to run 10 miles this week! uh oh. SF Marathon is in a month and a day. weeeee!

    I'm going to be buff errr toned in no time. *flexes back muscles*

    ComiCon, SF Marathon, my Birthday, the spa --- i'm loving July already!

    Summers are always awesome.

    I'm currently working on my relationship with God.


    okay, that's all for now.. told you it was random.

  • Another day off..

    So it appears that I have the difficulty of sleeping in past 8am. It's either a) someone wakes me up at home which is usually for no apparent reason b) I receive a text or phone call (which is fine depending on who it is) or c) my ass is just used to getting up so early, my internal alarm clock goes off everyday...

    With that said, I could try to go back to sleep which is harder than it sounds or I can stay up and try to get things done.

    I am going to see how much of this list I can actually cross off:
    1) Car wash inside and out
    2) Oil Change
    3) Sort my recyclables and cash them in
    4) Wrap the wedding card box for Saturday
    5) Pick up my bridesmaids dress
    6) Finish my laundry (ALL of it this time)
    7) Work out for at least an hour and a half (42.5 minutes of running is good enough)
    8) Study for at least 3 hours for GRE
    9) Make doctors' appointments
    10) Get a manicure and pedicure (which i normally don't do)
    11) Renew my ADA membership
    12) Apply to volunteer with Meals on Wheels LB
    13) Look at DI programs and master's programs that I'm willing to consider
    14) Wedding Rehearsal at St. I/Rehearsal Dinner at P.I./Wedding party mixer
    15) Take out the trash
    16) Leisure Read
    17) Watch 30 Rock, Season 1, Disc 2
    18) Costco for contacts and other necessities
    19) Pay bills/go to the post office
    20) Eat lunch on time

    okay I can't think of anything else.. I better get started..

  • well whuddayaknow...

    just when things fall into place and become clearer, hopeful, and exciting, someone has to get in the damn way and give their "nonsupportive" opinion. yes, this person made me cry again. call me emo, but you know what? no matter what I want to do to make me happy or successful never seems good enough. i'm tired of people's bullshit fluff saying that they care blah blah blah, but really it's all a front to how they really feel about me or how much they care to see me happy.

    moving along...

    after speaking with my professor and drilling her with all my questions the other day.. i felt a lot better than I did the day before because I was able to make some decisions and lay out some type of plan for the summer and fall.  i hate not having any plan.

    my rough draft "plan" goes a little like this:

    1) Get my degree in a few weeks- noooo extending graduation date. hopefully it'll be processed really fast.
    2) Apply to take the Diet Technician, Registered Exam as soon as June 1. Take the test ASAP, become a DTR, and get my increase in pay!
    3) Study for the GREs and take it by the end of summer.
    4) Keep contacting potential grad programs/internships such as Tulane University of Public Health in New Orleans, Central Michican University, Harper University Hospital in Detroit, and New York University.
    5) Volunteer for Meals On Wheels throughout the summer
    6) Switch from part-time to full-time at my current work
    7) Prepare and work on my grad school/internship applications all summer
    8) Find any other ways to enhance my application
    9) Turn them in early
    10) If possible, visit these programs???

    In the meantime, my room needs my attention. It's getting way outta hand.
