Merry Christmas world!!! What a great holiday this is. Christmas time makes me so happy. Last nite i went to midnight mass, which is my favorite mass ever. My church does it so pretty. They turn the lights off except for little white christmas lights that are strung throughout the whole church and on christmas trees on the altar. in the beginning thec choir walks around the pews with little votive candles singing silent night. then later, when they talk about how jesus is born, the turn the lights up and the choir sings the hallejuah chours (my mom and aunt sign in the choir) and everyone stands up. then mass is beautiful and the bell choir bells and the choir sing all thru it. at the end it's tradition to have anyone who wants to, come up to the front and sing hallejuah with the choir. TONS and TONS of people go up. i went up and stood with my mom. it was great. i saw this lady i work with named nancy and her family. that was nice.
ok so now that i got that out of the way, i have so much more to talk about.
let's start with the happenings of last week.
umm i had finals and spent my whole monday at mcc. yes i was there from 11am to 8pm. SHOOT ME NOW. i felt like tom hanks in terminal. ok so i've never really seen the movie, but i could so imagine how he felt when he couldn't leave the airport. i felt like mcc was my home. it was a sickening feeling. so i had finals mon and wed and i was so relieved when they were over. such a huge burden was lifted from my chest. and also that meant i got to do whatever i wanted for a whole month and not have to worry about homework or tests. also, my friends were home from school and i just needed to hang out with them.
so wednesday nite i had a date. i went out with this kid from MCC. we went to go see meet the fockers which is HILARIOUS by the way. omg i was worried cuz usually sequels aren't the best... but this one was great. such a good movie, i do recommend that everyone sees it. anyways, he picked me up and we went and he's a cool kid to talk to and whatnot. but he's like 5 foot even. ok so i exaggerated. but he's shorter than me, which bothers me. and he is VERY skinny. but i decided to give him a chance like i do with everyone even if i kno they're not what i like. he kept trying to like touch my leg and hold my hand during the movie and i was sickened. haha. i had to sit crooked the whole movie so i could be as far away from his little hands as possible. i mean, i don't like him like that so i didn't want to give him the wrong idea and make him think that putting his hand on mine was ok. it's not. i told him i am not interested in a relationship. we still talk cuz he's a cool kid to talk to, not someone i would date tho. tooooo little for me. i do NOT like little guys. well i told jeff that i had a date and he got jealous! so we are hanging out tomorrow. :) not sure what we are doing yet, but as corny as it sounds, just hanging out with him will be awesome. i had a dream about him last nite. there was more to it, but the part i remember the most is that we were near some water, and i was on this dock. and i saw him on the dock near the land part and i just ran to him and hugged him. that's all, a simple hug. but it was so cute. i felt like it was a scene from a movie. something like the guy gets back from war and the sad girl is sitting on the dock looking into the lake. next thing you kno, he's standing there and she sees him and gets so happy that she runs to him and jumps in his arms. aww. well i am def kinda nervous to hang out with him. what if he decides that he doesn't like me. and he is sickened by hanging out with me? i would be sad. i really feel good about this. i just wish he didn't go to school 6 hours away all the way in CT. and another sad thing, he might be living in nyc or CT or somewhere around there this summer. but he said i could always go and visit if he did :) oh idk. i just hope everything falls into place.
hmm soo i got my grades the other day. All A's in public speaking, stress management (joke of a class) and Calculus I. However, my GPA was brought down by the B- i got in organic chem. BUT I AM SOOOO HAPPY. i thought i was gonna fail that class. i got an 84 on the final when the class average was a 76! i didn't even really study that much. imagine what i could've done if i would've done all the work thruout the whole year and sutdied like crazy?! i think that is the hardest class ANYONE could ever take tho. seriously. do you ever come home from class and feel like you wanna committ suicide? cuz i used to like every day after i came home from my nite class of chem. so overall my gpa was like 3.5 or something like that. i'm one happy girl. now all i gotta do is apply to pharmcas so i can get my pharmacy school apps in. deadlines are coming up; i'm such a slacker.
me and the girls exchanged christmas gifts this week. they are all so thoughtful. kristin and i went to great northern with her mom to do it during the week. i guess some of my beasus was radiating cuz there is this lady who works there and she was hitting on me. she's a really nice woman tho. very friendly. i'm just not a lesbian, so she might want to try elsewhere. anyhoo. kristin got me some beautiful things which i have used like every day since i got them. then later in the week me and the girls did an exchange. bri got me this heart bracelet kinda like a tiffanys. and she got my name engraved on it! how cute. daniela got me my crest spin brush that i was dying for. haha and i got other cute little things. it was a fun nite. we talked about sex and all that good stuff. haha what great techniques we have. gotta inform the little ones, esp with me being such a promoter and all. it's just so fun hanging out cuz i've missed daniela and snore terribly. the foursome is back in action. however, i think daniela and brianna were talking about going to buffalo for new years, which makes me very sad. annnd kristin and matt will be in florida so that leaves me asking, who will i spend new years with? what kinda makes me bothered is that when i was dating blake, he was like "omg you have to come out with me and my friends on new years" and i was like "umm i was planning on spending new years with my friends" so basically i chose my best friends over him and now they are considering going to buffalo to party with their new best friends? kinda makes me sad, but as long as they're happy i guess. maybe i can do something with jeff and snore? and kiss jeff at midnight! ;)
ok so yesterday, i worked until 4:30 or so (they let me go early thank the good lord) and i headed over to my aunts house where my whole sanguedolce side of the fam was. we ate food and opened presents. i got some stuff i wanted like a new cordless phone, the elf dvd, and these AE jeans i wanted. then my aunt made me this photo album along with all my other cousins, of REALLY old pics that she had of us. it was sooo awesome. they were such a hit with all of our family members. it was such an amazing idea. i had fun just hanging out with my family. they're so funny. we're all soo cooky that we say the craziest things and have a grand old time. there was wine on the table and to my dad i was like can i have a taste. and he's like, "if you wanan go make a drink or have a beer or something they're in the kitchen. erica can drive your car home" haha i was shocked. my DAD telling me it was cool if i had a drink. i guess i am gonna be 21 in the upcoming year so that is understandable. then they got a huge 8 foot party table and i was like yess what an awesome beer pong table. and my whole family was like "yea we haven't played bp in soo long, we gotta practice, blah blah blah" haha my aunts love playing beer pong. we just might have to have a tournament this summer. hahaha the good old sanguedolce faimly.
and that brings me back to where the entry started. after my aunts house we went to midnight mass and then went home to sleep so santa could come!
and boy did he ever. i got some really cute clothes... my favorite being the publicist pants from express! and my sister got me this incredibly cute calvin klein shirt which matches ever so nicely with my new silver metallic guess purse. and now i will go watch my new ELF dvd! "does santa kno you're away from the workshop?" and then i will head to my grandma and grandpa ketchums house. i can't wait to see the babies!! yayy
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!! :)
