FRIDAY....YAY!

FRIDAY! Finally! I went to Sights and Sounds last night, wow was it cold! There was this ride that swings you back and forth and it started spinning too. I couldn’t breath while I was up there though because it was so high up and it was so cold. By the time we got on it there was hardly anyone there so he let us ride it twice…YES! I didn’t get a chance to buy food though, I ran out of money. I think I am going again on Saturday and I will definitely eat the food then. They have a stand that has really odd foods like, alligator, birds, and just weird stuff. I think I am actually going to try the alligator though, I heard it was good! I am loving this weather right now, its so pretty and windy! We put up the lights on my house last night and they look amazing! I am really nervous about finals coming up, I hope I do good on all of them…fingers crossed.

ugh!

I cannot wait till this semester is over! My communications teacher is crazy, everyone in the class made a C grade or below on the speeches. I thought he said he was going to try to help our grades, not make them worse. The people I thought that did really well, ended up making really low grades. Already tomorrow we have our second speech, and I am so not prepared. This past grade he gave us has really gotten to me and intimidated me. I hope maybe this time he will cut us some slack because we only had one class period to discuss and review over our topics. I think my topic is ok, it is a persuasive style speech and I will talk about how Texas State should be a smoke-free environment because second-hand smoke is extremely bad for you. Someone who is a healthy human being can become sick because of someone else’s addiction to cigarettes. FINALS are stressing me out! I cannot believe that I have 6! That is crazy! Thank goodness next semester I am only taking 13 hours. I think I am also going to take History in the summer at ACC so it can transfer over here. I am dreading taking that class though, I heard it was really hard. Hopefully next semester will be a little easier on me because this semester has kicked my butt!

Boring!

Today has been so boring, everywhere is still closed and I cannot go shopping because the outlet mall is so busy! One of my friends went this morning at 1 am and they said it was just CRAZY, and I believe it! People go so crazy the day after Thanksgiving, I guess they think it is worth waiting in line for a couple of bucks off of clothing. In my opinion, I would much rather be at home watching t.v., making fun of all the people who are out in the cold with thousands of others trying to get the same thing as them. Yesterday was really good, all of the family came over and we all had a good time. My friend from A&M came down and she said she loves it in College Station. OMG, SPEAKING OF A&M….THEY WON. Wow, I never thought they could have won against UT. That is crazy!

Borat and Thanksgiving

Turkey Day! Turkey day! I am so excited about today, I am going to stuff my face with turkey haha. Some of my family have already come over and we had a good time. I think my brother and sister are coming over in about an hour. One of my brothers already is here at the house and we were playing Grand Theft Auto earlier this morning. I think my sister and niece are bringing Mad Gab later when they come over. My mom made three apple pies, two pumpkin pies, two pecan pies, fruit salad, stuffing, mash potatoes, a twenty three pound turkey, and lots of butter rolls. The only thing I hate about Thanksgiving is that the entire city is dead! There is nothing to do to kill time while we are waiting for the rest of the family to arrive. Last night I saw, “Borat”, it was so funny! At times I wanted to throw up, but overall, it was very funny. I really wanted to see “8 Films To Die For: Horror Fest”, but unfortunately it did not come here to San Marcos, and each ticket for each movie was eight bucks! So that did not work out well, but at least I saw “Borat”.

I can't wait...I can't wait!

Today has been so boring! I cannot wait until Thanksgiving, I am saving room for the turkey and stuffing! I am still trying to look on Wal-Mart’s website for someone I can contact to complain about the manager of the store here in San Marcos. I am still so upset about that, but at least my friend got what he wanted, the Nintendo WE. I am still debating about if I am going to work on Wednesday or not. My family is coming down on that day, but I think I can work a couple of hours at least. The office should be really slow because all students are leaving tomorrow to go home. I think I will just be stuck with filing and word documents. My boss is on vacation this week, so I am pretty much free to do what I need to do while I do my work. Some of the workers in the office made pies for today’s lunch. I had some pumpkin pie…YUM!...and some pecan pie…YUM! I hope they make more food for Wednesday! AH! One more day till vacation!

Nintendo....

So last night I was crazy enough to go with one of my friends to wait outside of Wal-Mart for a dumb Nintendo. That was the longest waste of time in my entire life! As soon as we got in line all I could see were a bunch of people playing video games on the televisions they brought. It was so funny. I couldn’t believe how serious these people were about gaming. So to make a long story short, we were number 23 in line. The manager of the entire store came outside and said that there were going to be 20 systems given out and 9 rain checks. So we decided to wait because my friend would for sure get it the next day with the rain check. Three hours later the electronics manager came up to us and told us that we could go ahead and leave because there were not going to be any rain checks. Well, to say the least, I was not a very happy camper. I was seriously pissed, so I picked up our chairs, put them in the car, and went inside to yell at the manager. He started to get an attitude with me and I just couldn’t help letting my anger out. I told him that not only did I, but also the others waiting in line, did not appreciate what had happened. Ugh….managers are jerks! We decided to check the lines at Target and Best Buy, and we waited at Target till 8 a.m. for the system. My friend got it in the morning along with the Zelda game, and we both left happy. I decided that I will refrain from going to Wal- Mart unless I absolutely have to, because idiots run it!

Tired, Tired, Tired

I am so tired, it is ridiculous, but this all comes with college. It sucks, but whatever. I had a speech last night, which actually went pretty well. I didn’t get nervous until I actually had to walk up to the front. I did my speech over who else?.....Flavor Flav. He was the easiest person I could think of because I knew so much about him already, so it was a piece of cake. This morning I had my math test. I just hate math in general, but I have been really trying to get better and understand more. I have a hair appointment on Friday, THANK GOODNESS, I need one so badly! This curly hair is going out of control! Hopefully I can get to bed soon and catch up on some rest that I have missed out on this week!

Halloween and Today!

HALLOWEEN was so much fun! Although I had 8 o’clock class and a test the next morning, I still went out….such a bad person! O WELL I HAD FUN! I actually think I did really good on my test, so I’m happy about that. Work was boring AS ALWAYS! My brother wanted to take me out on the square, so a couple of his friends and I went…whoo fun! There were so many people there, it was CRAZY! So today I decided to take a trip to San Antonio to see my sister and niece and nephew. They both have gotten so big, they are too cute! I feel so bad for my sister’s basset hound, I think he is going to leave us soon. Tear, he was my old basset hound’s brother. They were so cute! I miss her so much! I think her dog has arthritis, so it is hard for him to get around. I found out what my niece wanted for Christmas, so I made a quick stop at the Forum at Toys R’ Us for her. I got two games for 20 bucks! I was so excited, good deal on gifts! I don’t know where I am going to put them until Christmas though.

AH!!! I DID HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!

Oh No! I think I did awful on my Communications test! UGH I HATE THAT CLASS! It’s so hard! Tonight we all got together after class to watch Nip Tuck….whoa great episode. Since Flavor of Love doesn’t occupy me as much I guess Nip Tuck will be my new thing! I want to see an episode of Desperate Housewives, I have heard so much about it, but I have never seen it. It’s annoying when people talk about shows you have never seen because you feel dumb! Darn…I have work tomorrow…I just realized that. Hopefully there will be a lot of return mail to occupy me. AW tonight I got to see a lot of my cousins I hadn’t seen in a very long time! It’s so awesome to see my family, I think my brother, niece, and sister-in-law are coming in tomorrow morning, YAY! I miss them so much, they live in Dallas and they rarely come down because my brother is so busy with real estate. I dread waking up early tomorrow morning, two things I will avoid next semester are 8 o’clock classes and night classes…..NEVER AGAIN WILL THIS HAPPEN!!!!

bored....at work

So today has been a pretty busy day and will continue to be. I woke up about 30 minutes before I had English and I put on the first thing i saw, which was the ugliest! I had math tutorials before Geography class because I have a test on Wednesday, PLUS I have a test tommorow for Communications....UGH! Communications is the hardest class in the world! All of the answers on the test seem correct. I have work till 3 and then I have a Geography S.I. session till 3:50. THEN I have to go home and work on my homework and then go to Math tutoring again at 5. THEN I have Math class from 6:30 till 7:45.....then I have to go home and study for Communications and Math. Wow, my life is full of excitement! haha....work is sooooo boring! My boss is on vacation so the office is a little more laid back this week. Aw, little Maya has to go back to the Vet to get her stitches taken out, poor baby. I hope the weather stays like this, it's so pretty outside!

History Repeats Itself

Today I felt so sick! YUCK! The cold weather didn’t make it any better. So have you ever been with someone for so long and then ya’ll break up and the feelings never go away? That’s kinda what is going on. I loved him so much and we both still love each other, but how do you pick up the pieces? I want to try our relationship again, but my jealousy issue is sometimes a problem. We both have issues we have to work out before we try anything again, but I am just so scared to start something again. I was so heartbroken and I never want that to happen again. Maybe this will be great though, maybe this is what we both want and need. I know I am willing to try as long as we get through the issues we already have. Wow, I hope everything works out. I really miss being in a relationship and having someone there for me.


P.S. I AM STILL EXCITED THAT FLAV PICKED DELICIOUS!!!!! I DON’T CARE IF I AM A FLAVOR OF LOVE FANATIC!

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!

So did anyone watch the Flavor of Love finally? WOW….ok so this was the perfect ending to my birthday weekend! Delicious WON!!!!!! It makes me laugh when I think of how upset New York must have been. She deserves to be treated badly because of all the mean things she said about everyone. She said that if Delicious lost that she wished her "an ounce of luck", and if her life was not full of luck then too bad. How mean is that? It takes a coldhearted person to say something like that. I could not be any happier with Flav’s decision. This weekend in all was just great! I hung out with my friends and with my family all weekend. Today I was so upset though because I had to send Maya back to the Vet because her stiches from her spading were not healing right. They kept her for the rest of the day to do surgery, I feel so bad for her!

I knew it!

I knew Crazzy was going to go home on Flavor of Love! Oh THANK GOODNESS!!! That girl needed to leave so badly! Her grandma and mom were just as crazy as she was! Now, no one will ever be as crazy as New York's mom. I would hate to be locked up in a room with that lady. I want Delicious to win! She is so nice and I think she would be perfect for Flav. Today has been so boring, but I am looking forward to seeing the CHEETAH GIRLS in concert on Thursday night with my neice and sister. It should be fun, I made a shirt that said CHEETAH-LICIOUS! Haha, I am sure my neice will love it.

Random day

*On the bus this morning all I could see was a black blob because someone’s backpack was in my face the entire ride. I tried to tell him but he wouldn’t listen, so now I have red marks from the scrapping of the backpack every time the bus stopped.
*Class was completely boring….UGH….and my computer wouldn’t work, the printer was not cooperating and my assignment was late because of it.
*The wait for the bus ride home was awkward…..here’s the conversation
o “AH! I just barely missed my bus”
o “Aw, I am sorry to hear that”
o “What bus are you waiting for?”
o “The stadium bus”
o “Oh, you’re a commuter”
o “Yup”
o “Where are you from?”
o “Here….”(I try to avoid any more conversation because he looked like a stalker and he was picking his nose!)
o (Slowly pulls his phone out) “What is your name?”
o “Mari”
o (Hands the phone to me) “Here”
o “Why are you handing me your phone?”
o “Put your number in”
o (I WANTED TO RUN AWAY BUT I HAD NO WHERE TO GO BECAUSE MY BUS HAD NOT ARRIVED YET) “Oh I never really give my number out to people I don’t know”
o “Do it”
o I knew I was in trouble then, what was I suppose to do? I felt so scared and just freaked out! The bus finally came and guess what I did when I saw the bus pull up?......I RAN MY BUTT AS QUICKLY AS I COULD TO THE BUS! I have never met anyone so scary.

*On my way to my grandma’s house , I was on the highway and I was just trying to concentrate on the road, a CRAZY LADY came and was driving so fast, then tried to get in my lane right beside me, making me swerve. I thought I was going to die, I hate car accidents and I never want one to happen again!

Jumble of thoughts

I’m so stressed right now. Paper here, paper there, another test, another quiz! UGH! I guess this is all just part of the process of adjusting to the transformation into college from high school. Maya’s stitches began to bleed today, so I am a little worried about that. She hasn’t been eating much, which is not very normal of her, and she’s just not acting right. I’m thinking of calling the Vet’s office tomorrow to make sure that everything is still ok with her behavior. Hopefully all is well. Tonight I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out my math homework. Even though I have been to SLAC Lab and a tutor, I still need a little more work. Math is my worst subject so I spend hours trying to help myself and figure out the problems. Tonight I went to go hear John Carlos speak at the LBJ Ballroom, it was so good! He is such a wonderful speaker and he is really a nice guy! He had the whole ballroom laughing at his jokes. Hopefully this weekend will be somewhat relaxing and I can just not worry so much about everything that is going on.

My poor Maya...

I took my dog to the vet to get spaded and the entire day I was so worried about her. When I picked her up from the office she was really drowsy and clumsy from all of the drugs. She got excited when she saw me and then just sat down and almost fell asleep. I felt so bad for her but she was acting so funny. In the car I tried not to speed or stop too fast because I didn’t want her to fly forward and hurt herself with her stitches. Her eyes kept closing and she continued to lean on the seat as if she were drunk. I couldn’t help but laugh because she was just full of drugs and acting completely different. When we got home she tripped over my flip flops, slowly walked to her bed, and fell asleep. I called the vet’s office to make sure all of this behavior was normal and they told me that it is very common behavior, so I wasn’t too worried.

New York, New York!

On Flavor of Love tonight, Flav announced that New York was going to join the girls again in the competition! I cannot wait to see how this is going to end. Obviously Buckwild was not being real with Flav because she left just because New York was back in the game. I honestly think that Flav will end up picking New York as his final choice. I saw the previews for the next episode and it showed New York’s mom pushing Flav, telling him that she does not want her daughter with him. I cannot wait till next Sunday’s episode! On the other hand, WHAT WAS UP WITH THE HORNS LOSING! AH! It’s so frustrating because they could have played a lot better! I still love them though! I know I am jumping from subject to subject but I have a lot on my mind right now. Can I honestly not find one decent guy? I wish a good, nice, funny guy would just come into my life. Hopefully I will meet one soon.

My day

I fell asleep about a million times in my EDP class....nice teacher and all but I have no idea why that class even exists! I thought I got enough sleep last night, but I guess not. Thank God tommorow is Friday, i'm so excited for the weekend. Today my brother, sister-in-law, and niece came over to the house. My sister-in-law cooked, but I think i'm sick now because of it. I think I ate way too much, too quickly. An old friend of mine kept texting me and annoying me, have you ever just felt that some people you just don't want to keep in touch with? It was really random them texting me and trying to hang out with me. For some odd reason my dog was acting way too crazy and hyper today, maybe she was just way to excited to see new people. I think I might wake up a little earlier tommorow so I can stop by Starbucks....mmmm....sounds like a plan!

A piece of my mind...........

Do people not understand that there are STILL standard cars out there? Seriously, I came so close to backing into this Mercedes on campus today. I'm so sorry that we cannot all afford nice automatic cars lady! Regardless if it is a automatic or standard, on hills you have to keep a certain amount of distance between you and the car in front of you! After class I came home and was greeted by my beautiful princess, Maya (my three month old Great Dane) and watched the episode of Flavor of Love that I had missed on Sunday, what an episode it was! I cannot believe that Flav sent home Like That, although he wasn't physically attracted to her he should have given her a chance to show him that she cared and was honestly making an effort. I honestly believe that he should have sent home Nibbles, she was acting like such a...well if you watched the episode you would know what I am talking about. She was so drunk and kept dancing around on top of Flav's friends, which obviously shows that she has no respect for herself. After the Flavor of Love show I began to watch a concert that Jessica Simpson did on MTV. It was the saddest thing, she started to cry when she sang a song that helped her through her divorce with Nick Lachey. She couldn't even finish singing, it was so sad. I will admit that I cried too! The whole situation between them two is just really hard to believe, they were so perfect together. Jessica said that she fell in love at a young age and sometimes people just change and grow apart, I can completely relate to that.
