This is indeed the summer for change. New take on life, new take on relationships, new take on responsibilities. Let's just say I'm a single woman now, and I plan to be one for awhile. I need to get back to the basics.... get back to me. It ended mutually enough if you will, I still care for you (you know who you are) very much. I don't harbor hate or any of that immature ridiculousness. I don't know if 'friendship' is in our future or not, nor will I push it in either direction... time should just take it's course... and we shall see where things go from there. I do hope you will still be a part of my life somehow. My myspace blog delves further into this with more emotions.. and if you aren't my myspace friend I guess I don't trust you enough to read it. Lo siento. If you really want a copy, I can send it your way, but honestly that's just creepy. ;)
In other news, I'm getting a slightly used laptop tomorrow, a new phone eventually, a hair cut, and I'm taking a trip to Hawaii to see my beautiful friend Ashley. :D I couldn't be more excited. After this trip I plan on seeing Katie.. and then after that.. I am certainly up for more adventures... whoever wants to join me.. you know how to get a hold of me. Text it foos. Or just call me... I like voices.
What else is going on? My Yia Yia is still on hospice.. we aren't going to go there, let's just say it gets harder and harder everyday to see her.. and I'm leaving it at that.
I've been applying to 'big girl' jobs left and right in the technical writing field near my hometown as of right now. I am certainly up for relocation, but I'm pretty sure the business/firm would have to pay for me to do that, there's no way I could ask my parents for that kind of cash.. they've done enough for me already.
Also still on the fence with the grad school idea. I'm pretty sure the more I'm out of school, the less I'll be willing to go back.. but, with these economic times... perhaps a Master's degree could earn me more monies??? Who knows, right?
Here's a funny story.. if you remember my bitching about my internship this year, you are going to get a kick out of this... the lady that runs it.. emailed me a week ago asking me to volunteer for her. Really? After she practically failed me, gave me a poor review to my internship advisor.. she has the nerve to ask me for help again. After I told her I GRADUATED AND MOVED BACK HOME. I love people. Can you tell?
That's enough of that common tripe. I just figured I would update whoever reads this on what's going on en mi vida.
Laters all, and I hope everyone has a great summer. :D

I graduated!
I finally graduated from Illinois State University the 8th of May 2009. Good stuff. My grades went excellently this semester. I got an A in my internship (thanks to Ashley, my Mom, and Dr. Savage) they all believed in me and took my word over someone else's. Basically, the bitch I had to work under.
Senior Seminar I got a B and my Visible Rhetoric class I also got a B. I wanted to see more A's, but I am definitely satisfied with these results. My cumulative GPA is a 2.59, and my semester GPA is a 3.50. If only I took English classes all four years, I can't even imagine what it would be like then. But, whatever... I'm done. I've been debating grad school, and I'm pretty sure I have until August to decide. Knowing me and my lazy ass, it will take until August for me to make up my mind anyway. I also need to find a job.
I've sent out my resume to two internships with Walgreen's no dice thus far. So, now, I'll just try for other technical writing positions/internships/ or other mediocre jobs. We shall see where life will take me. I'm already a little down about this summer because I haven't been doing much of anything lately. I stay up late, I sleep in late, and I help out my Yia Yia and Aunt. If this is how the summer is going to be, it will certainly be a disappointing one.
I really want to travel to see Katie in Oklahoma (but my friends suck and no one will drive with me), I want to see Ashley in Hawaii (but, I also want spending money so I don't feel like a selfish skank), and I of course want to see Adam in Florida this summer too. Granted if everything remains as is now, with relationships.. you just never know... right? Always gotta be prepared. :)
My Yia Yia is now on hospice. And, it makes me sad, so I'm not going to talk about that anymore.
Good luck to the graduates of the class of 2009!!!
Keep in touch everyone. :D

The Final Countdown
This is it folks. Four years at ISU will finally come to an exciting halt for me this Friday at 7pm. I will be graduating with the rest of my peers under the college of Arts and Sciences with a Bachelor's degree in English studies and a minor in Spanish. :) I can't believe I've made it this far. There were days where I didn't think it would happen. Something awful would come up to prevent it, I would discover that one forgotten credit hour. But no, everything is in order, I've completed all of my gen-ed's and major courses. I do not see any problems in the future. (keeping fingers crossed).
I hope I made my goal of a 3.0 this year. I would love to at least graduate with a B average. So far, I'm a very high C.. and although C's get degrees.. I like the idea of a B better. I think I will be pulling quite a few B's this semester over anything else. The only A that might happen, might be in my internship from my internship advisor's standpoint. He gave me an A on my journal.. so it looks good in that regard. I really don't give a rat's ass what my internship lady is going to give me. As far as I'm concerned this entire experience is a lesson learned and that's how I'm going to leave it.
All I have due this week is my Visible Rhetoric presentation, and I'm dropping off my LIT manual in the Girl Scout office and leaving like a bat out of hell. I don't care to stay around and chat. The most I will lie is "Thanks for this opportunity, may life treat you well." Then, I'm out.
My room is looking pretty sparse as of right now. I have no more desk, most of my warmer clothes are gone, and various odds and ends as well. It just feels very prison like in here, and that in itself makes me want to high tail it out of here as fast as I can.
I will be so sad to say goodbye to all my old and new friends. I guess friendship will be tested this time around. True friends will emerge, and the others just fade into memories. We shall see what happens either way.
Well real world... here I come! The question is.. not are you ready for me... but, am I ready for you? I guess this summer and the months to come will tell. :D
