hey LJ,
you've been neglected for SO long! sheesh, maybe i'll write in here more ofthen. anyways.
my life lately:
Relationship wise: me & lester are pretty much broken up. we remain civil which can either be a good thing or bad thing. i've always thought that you need that straw to break the camels back to actually hate that person, get over the whole thing, and then later on you can be friends. so, basically, i feel like i'm not completely over the situation, but moving along gradually. there is a new guy, his name is "pepper" aka christopher. he's everything i never thought i'd go out with. he's a lot older than me and has a real job and lives in sacramento! i'd never see myself in a long distance relationship, but alas, here i am. i refuse to get "exclusive" with him because, frankly, i like saying that i'm single and i have the freedom to pack up and leave anytime i please. other than that, i really just dont want to deal with that stuff and probably not settle down until i finish school. but thing are really swell between us. we get along amazingly and he added me to his family plan on at&t so we talk for hours on end...and video chat too. he took me to see wicked (my 2nd time), the guiness records museum, and the wax museum. hahah, all those things i pass by on hollywood blvd, ive now seen! now only to see ripleys and the wax museum in vegas. its nice to have a boy who has a real job and can afford to take you out, how ever shallow that sounds. of course i feel horrible for not being able to return the favor...but one day...sometime later this year. haha. he got me a wii for christmas and i love it. he also got me a "wii sports edition" bowling bag carrying case that is purple, made by brunswick, and super dope! gahh. i visited him in sacramento for a week and it was pretty fun. i fell in love with his dogs and his house. i like the fact that he teaches me a lot...about music, sports, politics, spelling, word useage, taxes, technology, etc. he makes me want an iphone REALLY bad. he makes me feel stupid sometimes...but its a turn on cuz that just means he's smarter...sometimes. long distance is a pretty tough thing. i REALLY REALLY miss having the little things that come along when you date someone--being able to go out to dinner/lunch whenever, having dates on random nights, sleeping over, etc. i only get to see him maybe every other weekend? the longest its been is 2.5 weeks, which isnt too bad for how far we live. anyways, thats enough of that.
Friend wise: my bff jewelle has moved away to illinois for nursing school. a huge chunk of my heart...as well as my social life...went along with her. i really miss her from time to time, just doing the little things we used to do. again, another long distance relationship in my life. we talk everyday, even if its just on AIM, but its comforting to know we can still talk about whatever. she's coming back next week for spring break and we're making a vegas trip! whoo-hoo! so in lieu of her being gone, i've been locked up in my room a lot, going home a lot, but recently, ive been trying to hang out w/ other close friends. last night i had some good quality time w/ my nursing friends eizel & tricia. its not quite the same since last semester we had our four-some w/ marie and we hung out a lot outside of school. regardless, its still good times. i also went to park ocean last night and hung out w/ brenna & juliette...had a wii night. it was fun and good bonding time w/ fellow OMG girls. my roommates are NEVER home. i thought i'd get a lot closer to lani, but she's really busy in her own world, and i dunno...whatever. i also joined girls football for sportsfest. i'm pretty excited. it'll be something new and different and hopefully a stress reliever.
School wise: i'm SO over nursing school. like OVER IT OVER IT. i thought i was over it last semester, but im REALLY over it now. this semester is public health nursing, so its chill and i like not being in a hospital setting...but everything is just so "fluid" and i need structure. i dont know, no one knows what the hell is going on this semester, and i think we're all just trying to get through and graduate. i cant wait for that moment...my "walking ceremony" is may 28th @ 1pm for all you lj readers. however, i still have the summer to go through...my last and final semester. i need to find a preceptor and work my ass off to get all my hours done...summers gonna be insane. pinning ceremony is tentatively september 6th. thats what i really cant wait for!! this semester is whatever. trying to get my "flex time" done, which is 60 hours of outside clinical time. i'm working with st. mary's and all i do is health fairs, bp checks, glucose checks, blah blah blah. i should've done something with BABIES or kids cuz i think thats where i belong. we'll see. hmmmm, i dislike my teachers. they're okay, but ugh...everything is so unfair in the program. some people get to do this...other people do that. i wish we all did the same thing dammit. we couldve been given the chance to go to sacramento for RN lobby days in april, but my asshole of a teacher made it so we wouldnt want to go cuz it seemed like extra work. but the other lecture gets to go and write a reflection on it. so retarded. whatever, i'm going to sacramento regardless...=)
Etc: i was supposed to work for LBUSD but i havent had the time. ive been trying to do all my flex hours and just get things out of the way. eventually? i dunno, im pretty over it. i finished the whole sex in the city series...hooray. vegas is near. im trying to be more proactive about working out, but its really hard. i did aerobics last wed and i felt so good!! hopefully, i'll be motivated even more once football starts.
WOW, that was a real update. gahhh, felt so good to write it all out though. miss you lj'ers.
