So I was doing really well with getting things done in a timely fashion, but my mind and I are at odds again. In this moment I am super distracted, unmotivated and exhausted as can be. Mostly I'm avoiding the hind end of my Chicano Novel research paper. School is super busy, my hair is super long, and my apartment is still amazing. (Aside from the ( Read more... )

The week before I came back to school, while helping Ray move out, someone backed into my car. (Let's not forget the false insurance information,  leaving me not only with a mean dent but also the bill.) Tonight while I'm out at dinner with some friends, what happens?

It's a relief to have people in my life who allow me to be myself and appreciate me for who I am. I'm blessed.

Some things:

Becca, Stevie Nicks, running and painting are pretty high up on my list of favorites right now. Got really sunburned today -- not so much a favorite... I turn 21 next week. My parents are taking me to Vegas, and I guess that's pretty cool. My mom, my uncle and I are getting tattoos and we're all going to see Love (the Beatles Cirque du ( Read more... )

I've had an anxious feeling all day that I can't seem to shake. That's okay, though. Tonight I'll sleep it off. Finals are done, which means all-nighters are done, which means maybe I'll make up for the ten hours of sleep I've gotten since Sunday.

My mom's on her way to help me pack up to come home, and I guess I'm happy about that. I absolutely ( Read more... )
