Friends.

NYC Last Summer.

It's amazing how much we humans are affected by friendships.

Simply having a person to hug can mean the difference of all sorts of life-changing decisions.

Loneliness brings out the miserable in people, it's so crazy how one small conversation can make everything seem so much better.

I'm grateful to my friends, a big reason why I can smile all the time and can be cheery; a motivator for many of my confidences.
God bless my friends.

Environment & human health

Okay, so I never got back after that lil break I left last post...

Sorrryyyyyyy :( I have a lot to say, a lot that's going on. I'm so glad it's break right now because I have way a lots of things to blog about.

Buttttttttt.........

I just wanna say that I'm pretty disappointed in the Philippines right now..

It's very difficult to find concrete data on what's going on health-wise with the access to sanitized water and sewage problems...which affects a ton of people there....and it's making my research REALLY difficult.

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but uhg. I'm not a happy camper.

My teacher gave me an extension because of my little breakdown Wednesday and the accident/ER visit I had on Thursday.....but dang.

Third world countries really aren't impressing me right now with their available information...


Okay, back to research and finishing this paper so I can concentrate on life choices I need to make and such.

Success & Unemployment

Throwback Pic.

This picture is Matt and I two years ago!

I was too short of a girlfriend because in so many of the pictures that I find of both of us he's cut off in some way haha.

Now I feel like a big jerk with no photo-taking aim...it kinda goes along with the joke between us. We like to joke that I was the heartless one of the relationship and that he was the loving one. Random thought.

I can't believe it's been two years since high school. It's ridiculous.

Last night, I had the urge to go on my facebook and look at old albums....ooohh I look different now.

(to be continued...i have a 1,000 word case study due at 12 and i need to leave at like 1130)

romans 8:18

"I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us."

My favorite favorite bible verse lately.

Tuesday, the day.

The Marriott I Stayed in Florida Over Winter Break

Today I called Dan's cousin Christina about a job, ahhh I was nervous for some reason!


It's weird how the randomest things make you nervous. Maybe it's the fact that I need a job so much that calling her became so important to me. I'd much rather have the I-Don't-Care Confidence, that works so much better for me and makes things easier to handle.

Today I don't have any major assignments due!!!! Shocking! I can't beleive it. I took advantage of this and put some of my clothes to wash. Speaking of which, I need to put my clothes in the dryer...be right back...

[few minutes have passed]
Okay, I'm back. :) Miss me? Probably not. In reader time, this has taken about half a second...in reality this took about 3 minutes. Ah, the advantages of blogging.

So, like I said, I have no major assignments due. I read my assignment that's due today last week so I finished my homework...my paper is due Thursday and my ECON discussion is tomorrow. Yahoo for random breaks in the week. Anyways, I should probably pack all my things for today...I have a long fun day ahead of me. I'm going to class, then to Coastal Flatts to apply for a job there, then to the gym, then showering and off to a Chivalry dinner with my brothers.

Oh man, I need to think about this. Pack:
-Job Application :)
-Gym clothes n shoes
-Shower stuff & blowerdryer & makeup
-Dinner clothes

Okay I got this. My first class starts at noon, so I should probably get on this stuff. Plus I should start preparing for my ECON discussion since I won't have any time today....yahoo for lifeeeeee!!! hahaha

I love Tuesdays, I end at 2:45 and that makes me really happy because that's early to me.

Yesterday was pretty amazing because I found out that I got a B on my paper that I thought I would do horrible on...and my teacher is giving us all the chance to re-write, so there is a possibility that I could get an A and that would be so so amazing!

Oh man, morning prayer...gotta do that. Okay, back to busy Carmen mode...buhbyess

New Week

I miss this.


I decided to deactivate my Facebook account for the week.


Gasp gasp gasp, I know. But..... I wanted to get less addicted to it since the beginning of last semester anyways, that's the reason why I started this blog and I was spending about 3 hours last night on it when I should have been finishing my spanish paper and speech.

I woke up today at 7:24, YESSSSS, I met my new week goal today! Tons of coffee and motivation did thhe trick, I fell asleep in the car for about 2 minutes but I DID IT!!!! haha I DIDNT go back to bed, I took a shower, and now I'm supposed to be finishing my spanish paper!!! Gah.

I chose this picture from conference because I want to remember how I felt. I felt like heaven. Everyone praising Jesus all the time, so many people that I loved where there...it's like the small taste of heaven that I can savor for the future. When I go to heaven (...if of course but I'd like to think that I am) I just know it's going to be like Conference only BETTER! Family members, friends from college, friends from high school...all it'll be this grand party of people on fire for God with God....only this time, it'll be FOREVER. FOREVER. I won't ever be able to fathom that distance, but just the thought that I'll be happier than I was back then makes me so excited. Knowing that I'll be able to have a perfect peace...FOREVER...it's just so excited. Sometimes I get so excited to die because I know that there is nothing compared to what is to come.

Back to spanish, I have 45 minutes until I need to leave for class. GAHHHH!!!!!!

I have come to realization that I'm a miserable person when I'm not on top of my homework.

New?

I'm tempted to get glasses like these sometime for fun.


So I have been looking at my posts lately...
and they have gotten yucky compared to the posts from the summer.

At least in my opinion. "Bleh," as Tim likes to say. I like my first few posts ever better.

This weekend, cooked for Coffeehouse, went to the basketball game, went job hunting, went working out, got my adapter fixed with a new cord, got a job reference, went to d-ship chain brunch and went to only ONE Mass tonight!


Brunch was fabulous today, Olivia almost made me die because she told me to make a right on a road that didn't exist to my right....a house/church/library/building did. She also compared the FOCUS familes to Harry Potter houses. We are of the Slitheran (sp?) House due to our amazing wit and sass. Ruthie has little Japanese people the size of a Hersey's kiss for guardian angels because those were her imaginary friends back in the good old childhood days. I love it. Best fam ever.

Job hunting and working out!!! The twins are sweet, we got so much stuff done I'm actually kind of excited to be getting a new job even though it's going to mean that I'm probably going to have to say goodbye to any form of social life for the next few months due to my busy schedule...gotta love ittt. I'm going to need to cut down even more...which I'm kinda sad about...:/ Bleh. I don't want to say buhbye to choir, but it might get down to that for this semester.

Speaking of choir...tonight at Mass were these terrible kids that kept giggling and wiggling the aisle next to us. I pushed their kneeler down on them in hopes of it getting in their way or them getting offended but getting the message...but no, they kept wiggling and giggling. Their mother was furious. I bet they got it good once they got in the car. Ahh this brings me back to when I'd misbehave in church as a kid....my mother would have a cow it was so ridiculous. It was kind of interesting, this morning my baby brother augie was getting one of his first after-Mass scoldings. Kinda made me smile that he's old enough to understand scoldings and actually pout.

I have the final edit of my spanish composition due tomorrow along with a 2 minute presentation on it. I still have 50 more words to add to the length....and I need to do my homework still. Terrible procrastinator. It's just that.....I had to go job hunting and basketball gaming and working out---ing. Not to mention the necessity of family brunches.

I think I'm going to work until 2. I need to get sleep and shower time.

I need to pray as well. I did at Mass of course, but I haven't had my quiet time today and yesterday either..

Fact: I am listening to Summertime by New Kids on the Block. Fun fun fun. :)

Goals for this week:

• raise my lenten wake-up time to 7:30!!!!!! Next steppppp. I got this I got this I got this. COFFEEE.
• stay on top of ECON homework
• My EVPP Paper: do awesome on it
  

That will be all. I have an hour left until I'm going to hop into bed.
