| happy new year |
[01 Jan 2008|01:14am] |
i may have started the new year in the most boring way possible (yes, me, at age 19, watched the ball drop alone at my house)...but i have no doubt that this year will bring lots of joy, craziness, and growth. every year is a learning experience and of course its nice to bring in the new year is a fun way with your friends/lovers but all in all, its just another day. i party hard all the time and i know i have plenty of love and people in my life. this day is just a symbol of hope of better things for most people.
i don't think my life needs to get better, i only think my attitude does. i need to learn to love and be happy with myself, because the older you get the more you realize how much you need to rely on yourself. i am really happy for all my friends who seem to have found great significant others and are happy but its a little lonely and tiring at points for me. i miss having my own love, and i miss having fun and everyone being single but its alright. i really do have a lot of love and people in my life and my 'shot at love' certainly is not over yet.
so happy new year, enjoy it, and cherish all the good things in your life! love.

i just had three of the most crazy days of my life, fun-wise.
thursday i went to islands of adventure with camp...15.5 hour pay day...and i got to ride a bunch of rollercoasters..chyea. So somehow this summer I really have almost conquered my rollercoaster fears. I had a lot of fun at islands, i didnt get to hulk but i rode dueling dragons and other rides so i was proud of myself. It was stressful at times having to deal with the campers wanting to do a million different things in such a big place but hey what else is new...Came home exhausted then had to go back to camp in the morning...
Friday was the last day of camp thank god. We had a water day with outside water activities and then the pool. I was dunked in a dunk tank quite a few times, haha. My camp experience ended on a kind of sour note, my co-counselor Quita and I felt cheated by the directors in how they evaluated our performance and stuff. I had an overall good experience at the camp, but I highly doubt I will do it again. Also, this camp doesnt encourage tipping so I def didnt get much in that department which was sucky. It was sort of sad to say goodbye to the campers but I am happy to not have to be there everyday anymore.
So i came home and slept and then Kat, Christine and I went for a traditional dinner at Fridays and then over to Borders to get HARRY POTTER!! The experience waiting for it was really fun...um IB reunion much? Came home and read a bit then went to sleep to wake up for...
WARPED tour! Picked up my favorites then headed to the concert...Scott, Christine, Ari and i pregamned in the parking lot which began a very interesting day. We barely saw any bands...were really hot...I became a klepto (yea dont ask) and we made out with a lot of cool new stuff. Um...oops? We had a loooot of fun though...good times...then i came home and passed outtt. and now i'm up at 5 in the morning and going to go read more harry potter because everyone is already finished and im still on page like 150!! Then today I am having a family day...brunch with the gparents and then seeing hairspray with my parents. Oh what a life....:)

oh crazy gainesvegas....
i seriously could never have imagined the crazy life i lead these days. i go out night after night, drink, and do quite interesting things. it seriously is a fun life, but i understand i am getting a little out of control. its just when you don't have a relationship (slash you're not still hung up on that relationship) there's nothing holding you back anymore...BUT i know i need this summer to wind down a little...the past few weeks really have just been insane.
so last night was the dance show, it went quite well. a few glitches on my part, but it was expected and i still had a ton of fun. so so glad i do dancin' gators, have become good friends with a lot of them, and just spend so much time doing the one thing that usually makes me so happy. it really was a stressful last two weeks preparing for the show but it all worked out great, so yay! as always, i am SO grateful for our highschool niche and the newbies that fit in with us for being such great support and fans to me :) it makes me so happy to have them in my life, to have such great friends who i love so much and we've been through so much together.
so yea...on that note i really need to rest because my sleep schedule is really freakin crazy..and i am looking forward to life after wednesday, which will kinda be a 4 day party until the last of finals and moving out. i can't believe one year of college is done already, it really has been the time of my life.

i had a veryyyy interesting wknd with a lot of up and down boy drama, and of course, where did that stem from, drinking.
i also became a brother, (had my brother bid and underwent initiation) this wknd. on sat i went to the "no shoes, no shirt no problem party" which was the last party i couldnt drink at. it was good sober fun...then last night after induction, we had our 'wine and cheese/sleaze party' which was a lot of fun. i am so excited the initiation process is over and now i can just look forward to banquet in 2 weeks!
also this wknd i had to dance like a maniac at many a dance practice, same goes for the rest of the week. some stupid dances didnt prepare very well so now we are holding practices basically every day so we dont look like idiots in the show. not so fun. the show is THIS saturday, and i cant wait to just do it cuz the millions of dance practices are making me crazy!!
in the midst of my really busy social life/ extracurriculars i haven't done a thing since Thursday night and i have...a million things to do for wed/thurs....i best get on that....and i seem to have a nice cough? great.......

my life is at such a weird point right now. its just that end of the semester thing. its crunch-time for school, dance, and the frat. The dance show is in two weeks, and the frat induction is a week from today (assuming i get a brother bid). So everything is just up in the air and its making me antsy. Thats probably why i am so antsy about other things in my life, well not a lot of other things but just sometimes wondering what the hell i am doing with my life. I miss having that one special someone to experience life beside me, and confide in always. But at the same time, I definitely love my independence and my friends and just living life from day to day. My mom keeps telling me to just enjoy the process and not be so caught up in the past or future. I try to most of the time, but then there are the days of lonlieness where I am just like damn..i miss laying around in someone's arms and knowing that they love me and that I love them. Memories make me smile and sad and i wonder if they make you that way too. Shrugs. life keeps moving and you just gotta roll with it...
but, in general i have no right to complain. we won the basketball national championship monday and it was such a blast. running,dancing,screaming,chaos on university. and me in my cape and mask being a psycho. the pep rally on friday and seeing those basketball boys in the club was great. I had an awesome time with my pledges at an initiate party on friday, it was ridiculous and a lot of fun. "just let it happen..." yea...so...i am sort of looking for summer to have a change in atmosphere and just enjoy my family and boca but at the same time i am like holy shit...3 months in boca..this is gonna blow. but we just gotta make the best of the circumstances..and i will try.

so its back to school, and i am glad for the most part. besides the fact that i compulsively think about packing up all my stuff and moving out of this deesgusting dorm. like at this point me and my roomates are okay living with eachother we just dont say anything about eachothers habits...which means we live in a gross mess...so i am excited for next year and not living with such dirty people. anyways..moving on
spring break was good, enjoyable. spent a lot of time with christine, edgar, kat and others. got some sun, went to dor's party which was amusing, saw music and lyrics which i liked a lot, went to ATL and had fun wandering around the campus and seeing a lot of people, had some family time and good dinners, so it was a nice little break
exciting things since i got back...the dance show is in a month so (well this didnt change) i have practices for dance everyday (cept sat). I mostly like having dance everyday cuz i get out of the dorm, like to dance, and like the people i dance with. Then, my beaty softball team somehow made it into the playoffs and then we won our first playoff game! It was pretty exciting, not gonna lie. I even made it to first base and HOME, getting a run. I kinda wanted my softball misery to end but yet it continues till next week...Then, i "participated" in an anti-war protest/walk on campus. It was interesting to observe all the modern day hippies. I felt very Vietnam but less passionate and angry. Also the other day the dorm had a "pj party" so my friends and i went, ate donuts, played connect 4, and did karaoke. good times...
also, i saw the movie babel with my friend rachel last night...what a crazy, intense movie. A little far-fetched but at the same time very thought provoking and really eye-opening to all that is human existence and all the different kinds of lives we lead. And how we interact with people that are different from us. Im really not doing it justice with my critique but, it was a very good movie, i really recommend it.
so...i am having a lot of fun with my life and trying to do good in school and basically, i am pretty happy. i have everything and little right to complain

seeing the postsecret guy today made me miss writing things down. and not only just me writing things down but how the old lj community used to be, us all writing down entries and sharing our lives with eachother. it was a nice period. facebook is good and all to keep updated on people's lives but its a different kind of update. its not the feelings and emotions (altho i guess facebook status might embody some of it)...i dunno i just kinda miss the time of always clicking and seeing new entries on my friends pages.
other than that, the postsecret guy was super cool and sweet. Such a good cause. I am always in favor of people improving themselves and those who help others make changes in their lives. Such little gestures, words, postcards make such huge differences in people's life. Its a great thing.
I cant wait for this week to be over school-wise so i can have some fun! I am looking forward to a relaxing low-key time in boca. Hopefully a party or two will turn up, but i am just looking forward to the comfort of home for a little. And im desperately excited for my apartment next year.
I really love UF and am a little nervous/unexcited for the whole summer at home. But it makes the most sense, so I will try to find things to keep me busy...or at least make some money. And hopefully hang out with some kids who its been forever. And the ones i love seeing all the time too..
Okay i need to go to bed so gnite!

haha, i had an awesome weekend, really awesome.
friday i had tap practice and then i went with my dance friends and saw the gymnastic meet. that was super cool, it was amazing seeing what those girls could do! then a bunch of us went to an indian party and it was tons of fun once we we were all drunko. heather came! it was so nice to see her after a really long time. i love me and my girls and sameen drunk. so fun. it was amazing we got home on the later gator...so many falls throughout the night. yea.
saturday once i felt well again nat/sameen/others reminisced about the night then went grocery shopping then i took a nap. then we went to the steeep show. black people are so fun, really. all the black frats have all these dances that they do whenever songs come on. such fun audience interaction. and the actual stepping was really exciting and AMAZING too! and freakin fonz bentley was the host. good times...after that we chilled in nat's dorm then i decided to go to naim's dorm and watch pulp fiction till 4 in the morning..
i was up at ten to go ROCK CLIMBING with my frat. it was our "inititate retreat." i was soo scared to go at first (we had to rock climb this not straight wall..it def had edges that u had to pull urself up). but i saw this one girl do it really well, and was inspired, so i did it too. and i made it the top and it was so exhiliarating and i was proud of myself. :) i had a great afternoon bonding with my pledge class through volleyball, talking, and eating. i am really starting to like everyone and am super excited about it!!
& i finally seem to be moving on. i really do feel like i am at such a good place in my life right now.
off to beaty softball game..oh lord. see how it goes this week haha. i really need to freakin do my reading and hw...oh well..laaater.

my life is super busy right now, i have a lot going on
1) schoool. of course. i have 3 tests on vday...and kinda need to start studying. and also reading/doing my schoolwork.
2) rushing a coed academic frat, Phi Sigma Pi. i kinda stumbled upon it, got intrigued and now am in a real frat initiation process. Having to wear a pin, get brother interviews, go to events, no drinking, etc etc. It should be interesting...I intend to finish out the process and hopefully gain lots of new friends/ interesting experiences!
3) dancin' gators...basically every night i have dance practice which often conflicts with frat events, but i am hoping it will all work itself out. i love to dance and would hate to quit :( so yea, i hope to do opener/closer, a tap dance, a jazz dance, a step dance, and adv kick line...hopefully i won't die
4) volunteering at shands/ psych club...might drop both, they don't seem to be that worthwhile and are hard to do with other requirements
5) fixing my computer was a hassle but now it is fixed so hopefully everything will go okay and i can continue to figure out how to navigate and reinstall things
6) beaty co-ed softball...sunday night games which are interesting...i suck pretty much but its fun for, softball
7) trying to do belly dance and yoga classes when i can!
8) trying to keep up my relationships, long distance and here. to all my friendsss i love and miss you!!!!! i can't wait to spend time with you guys throughout the semester or spring break or whatever
9) mommy visited me this wknd which was so nice. i had such a nice time, i love her! she gave me good food, shopping, and company
10) i havent partied in a week or two and it feels really long. after this crazy week i am def letting loose and getting my party on. seriouslyyyyyyyyyyy
okay. trying to breathe, need to study! later

tomorrow we have officially graduated from high school.
i am so excited!
maybe i'll be sad tmrw, but for now, i am just crazy excited. we all went thro hell in this ib program and finished it. we cried, laughed, bitched and had every other emotion in between. we made friends, we made lovers, we lost friends and lovers. ...so it goes. but in the end we reached this glorious point of closure and i am glad for it. I know we are all ready to move onto bigger and better things but still will try to maintain all the relationships. And if we dont which undoubtedly will happen (altho myspace may keep us together forever, hehe) we still had some crazy ass good times and i will always remember my high school days as a great era in my life.
i cant wait for all the celebrations tomorrow!!!! come to my grad party 2-6, bring ur yrbooks! then crunktimeeeee. :) WE DESERVE IT!!
"another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go. So make the best of this test and don't ask why. It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life
i love you all! congratulations!!!!!!
