I'm breaking my back just to know your name
So I didn't go into much detail about the previous 5 months I haven't spent updating. I figure you don't need much...just the basics...assuming you even care anymore.
So school is of course kicking my ass, but I so far have 3 A's and an A- for winter quarter. I'm still waiting on my Comm grade, which should be one of those.
And you know what...I'm sick of getting shit for my grades. People say things like "oh whatever, you're just too smart" or "yeah, I'm sure you're used to those grades by now, smartass." NO. I work my ASS off for the grades that I get. I think I drank or had a social life maybe twice this quarter, I spend frequent weekend nights in the library or studying, I spend time with my boyfriend by doing homework with him, and I often turn down things in order to devote more time to my studies.
The way I see it, my parents are spending ample money so that I can get a good education, and I will never lose sight of that. School is my first job...everything else comes second. And I take that seriously. Which is why next quarter will kick my ass just as much as this past one. =P
I sound like some anti-social bookworm don't i? Well don't worry, I do take the occasional break to be a complete moron with my friends. And I quit the Call Center, but still managed to use my employee ticket to see Jay Leno in January. It was awesome - he's so much more hilarious in an hour-and-a-half set.
So Mike and I are happily back together (for over 2 months now) and I couldn't be more thrilled by it...there's something about what we have that makes me wake up happy every morning. I'm dying right now because he's in DC for the whole spring break and I don't get to see him until Monday....arrgghhh. Hearing his voice just makes it worse...i love my baby. Dorky and half Greek as he is...you gotta love Connie, right bina?
So dance has gradually found a way to consume my life, as it often does. I did a show in December, one in February, and I have one coming up in 3 weeks, on top of all the games and stuff we do for dance team. However, most of our dance team season is over, which saddens me cuz I love my girls (and flamboyant boys). BUT - I do get to claim the title of captain next year =) Hells yes, motha fucka!! (do i sound black yet?)
Also - my newest exciting news is becoming a Core Instructor for a company called DC Extreme in San Jose. It was started by a member of the San Francisco 49ERS Gold Rush Cheerleaders, and I'm the official tap teacher. We travel to different studios in San Jose and hold weekend camps with a bunch of different classes, tap among them. I'm really excited to start in a few weeks, and it pays pretty well too.
This job has also brought in a lot of other opportunities. I think I'm getting paid to judge a talent show next month or something...lol. Random, yet fun.
So I choreographed a teachers' tap routine...and I finished the advanced' class's routine today - it's to "Somebody Told Me" by the Killers. Thoughts?
I think I'm gonna do the Black Eyed Peas or something for the beginning class...for the lack of having any Hilary Duff or something else young and pop-y lying around. I could do "Candy Shop" and just freak the shit out of them, but I'm pretty sure I'd get fired.
Ewwww I don't wanna go back to school on Monday, my break just started!! =(
I bought a 20GB iPod about a month ago...it was the smartest purchase ever. Especially with the cassette adapter. It makes 6-hour car trip entertainment so much more convenient and hand-held.
Wow...this is pretty long and boring, huh? Well...DEAL WITH IT. Or just stop reading.
I'M GOING TO SPAIN IN THE FALL!! I have yet to be "officially" accepted, but it's supposedly a given. I hope I get into Madrid. Classes in Spanish, living with a family...so intense. I'm super excited and WAYYYYY terrified.
I kinda wanna chop my hair and dye it brown for this...but I've been getting a lot of negative reactions...but brown hair and blue eyes? come on! the white skin may not compliment it so well...but...oh well. maybe. but you've officially been warned.
I know perfectly well I'll chicken out. But I can dream.
I'm talking to my publicist neighbor this weekend about internships for the summer. I actually wanna pursue something related to the field of my interests this summer....no more "Thank you for calling Volkswagen of Valencia, this is Hilary, how may I direct your call?" She's awesome for helping me.
I know I'm probably leaving out lots of cool and important stuff that's happened, but I'm pretty sure that's enough for now.
Oh. I read the third book in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series in 2 days. I want more, anyone know if there's gonna be another book?? The movie does NOT count.
Jenn - I miss you and your biting wit, we need to hang out again. And minus the Eric awkwardness. Haha. Besides stupid/pretty boy, how is life?
I also miss Retter's. No matter how much time passes since I've been an active dancer there, it will still kill me to look at pictures or visit or hear about all the cool stuff going on now. That place still feels like my second home. :sniffle:
Ok...I think I'm done rambling. See, this is what happens on a thursday night when I am left with access to a computer and life in my house and online is dead. Thanks a lot, world.
Now none of you can claim not to know anything that is going on in my life.
*T 1*
(so it took me 19 years and an incredibly dumb guy on my floor to point out that a good nickname for me would be T 1 because of my last name...tone...t...one...t...1...yeah, I'm an idiot)
(AND my new pic is from a photo shoot for DC Extreme. I got a CD full of pics of me and of our whole staff for 50 bucks. LOVE IT. it's fun how connections can hook you up)
PS - This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
peace out.
