CRASHING AND BURNING RIGHT NOW.
I’m trying really hard to not be too obvious with the flirting. You know you’ve failed when you admit that you’re trying not to flirt.

Everything that was once a turn off is now...
Oh goodness, what have I gotten myself in to.

Things I love about break: Truck shifts
As bizarre as this sounds, I love doing 8 hour shifts starting at 3AM. I love being able to get off at 11:30 so I can have the rest of the day to kick it with my girls. There’s a certain calmness in the wee hours as I drive to Emeryville and look at all the lights. There’s a quiet in the store as we stock the shelves, one that I get for six hours in the morning versus the thirty...

I take back my previous post.
This was the first Christmas that we felt like a real family in a long time. But it was also the first time I hadn’t seen my cousins in a year.

The Best Present Ever.
marlonyes: When Mama Mary was pulling names for her Secret Santa, she drew a paper which said “the world.” Thank you Mama for giving us the most amazing, perfect, beautiful, gift that I’ve ever received.

Things I love about break: Everyone I love is home
This one is a little late, but it’s a well needed blog. No matter where everyone is, I can count on them being here during break. The thing that’s even more reliable than that fact is the friendship itself. Before, kicking it was limited to where ever our legs could carry us; that’s the only thing that’s changed. The atmosphere that they create in my life is exactly the...

I have a final at 9AM tomorrow.
Of course I’d be up at 1:30 AM on tumblr instead of studying for my only final test this whole week that’s probably for my hardest class this entire semester. But it’s really because I’m excited to see where my heart might be exactly 12 hours after that final as I decide if I’m going to let the assertiveness in me take the reigns or if I’m going to keep...

The path I've chosen contradicts my previous...
In fifth grade, I decided I didn’t want to be a teacher anymore because I didn’t want to deal with those students that thought they knew the material I was teaching better than I do. Junior year, I realized I was called to become a high school teacher, and I’ll probably run into more of those types of students there than I will anywhere else (and I know this because I’ve...

To the guy who treated me better than the one who should have treated me best: I promise that I’ll tell you what a catch you are and that I wish I could have realized that sooner. Knowing me, I might not tell you right away. So, if you decide to transfer to a school in SoCal, I promise you I’ll tell you the day that you tell me.

your finals week is the week before. None of your professors want to meet with you during the assigned time period; they  just want you to drop off papers and be on your merry way.

On a less whiny note (or not),
I did my first actual session today to apply for the writing center. But that’s not what I want to focus on. What I do want to address is what I learned. Yeah, I got tips about how to do a better session. Yeah, I learned what to do if I accidentally zone out. But those don’t matter to me as much as this. I’m losing my voice. I don’t mean the one created by my vocal cords....
