The first week of school...
The first week of school has been good. It almost felt like there was not a summer between semesters. Things seem normal, calming, and comfortable. In my photojournalism II class i was offered an oppt. to go to NYC in oct....and I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GOOOO. It's an est. $500 trip and that includes roundtrip airfare, hostel stay, vender food, and transportation in NYC. A good deal? i think so. On this trip we will be on a photo scavenger hunt, attending several muesums exhibits, and the rest of the time we will be on our own. How exciting!!!!
However here are the classes that i'm taking:
* JOU 3201 Editing I
* HIS 3423 Florida History
* PGY 3620 Photojournalism II
* VIC 3001 Visual Communication
* HIS 3561 Womens American History
In other news this week, my mother's birthmother (bc she's adopted) died in a horrific motorcycle accident in St. Louis. WTF? I know, errie. She was a 72 yr young harley junkie. she had a customized harley to fit her bigger neads and left sometime a few weeks ago to go on a journey with her brother across the country. First who in their right mind would leave southwest florida in a motorcycle and drive across country. She was hit by a semi-truck. WTF again? a semi-truck.....i just don't know. The relationship between her and her two other daughters and my mother are not good and to make matters worse we were not even invited to the ceremony. I have so many questions concering these people that i simply want to spit on them. For sometime now I have known that the relationship between these "adults" have not been good and have been wanting to write a letter to the other party...however have been putting it off since the years beginning. What was i thinking? why didn't i just write it and be done with it? Again, there are so many unanswered questions. However i am still planning on writing some type of letter and mailing it to one of my mother's half sisters. Perhaps they can give me some answers....although in the back of my mind i have a feeling that even if they knew any of my answers, they would not give them up. That is just how it is.
So in better news i'm going to tampa today to view the human body exhibit at MOSI. That is the muesum of science and industry. It will be exciting in a sense and in another feel threatening. The fact that if a procedure like the human body exhibit could happen, then wtf - what other procedures are out there in this world that is unknown to the average human?
I had an interesting morning so far though...i woke up and turned on my laptop to have a message from a guy who i dated a while ago....he's starting up a new magazine and is in need of interns....and what do i need before i graduate from ucf? an internship! how ironic does that work out? I will talk about this in later posts as i find out more from him and times/dates. Because there is one problem that i see in the near future - i live in orlando and the magazine is in fort myers....perhaps i can be a traveling intern...lol.... i will find out.
Well it is now almost 2pm and sara will be here shortly if i know the way she drives that is. Watch out everyone who is traveling from G'ville to orlando this afternoon....and from orlando to tampa this evening.
Oh yes, if you are on facebook..join the apple group, you will then get a code for 25 free songs...they're already pre-picked for you, but every week till sept something they are giving out 25 free songs....how kick ass is that?
songs that are free and legal?
enough for now,
all my love and peace!

Let's see here, in the past couple of weeks i've moved all my shit from one apt. to a storage unit, went home for 9 days and almost drove myself nuts, came back to orlando and moved my shit to another apt (which i will comment on), have lived with three new people who i love!!! Went to Baltimore/D.C. for five days, did some major shopping today, and am in the processing of getting ready to go out on the town...well the East Orlando town that it (downtown is just not in the cards tonight)
so as i have mentioned before i moved to a new apartment....i FUCKING LOVE IT, my roomates are awesome, understanding, so nice, and one inparticular has some hott friends in his faternity, yes, i wrote faternity, i'm going outside my invisible borders here with the likeness of them. Anyhoo, on to the next adventure which was Baltimore. It was AMAZING!! My friend Lisa and i flew to see our friend Chelsea who recently moved up there to attend graduate school. We did a heafty amount of shopping and took the metro to D.C. for two out of the five days we were there. We went into chinatown and shopped at Urban, saw a variety of new and interesting people, and also took some tours of several muesums...including the viewing of the declatoration of independence, the bill of rights, and the constitution...and the original ones, not fake ones at that. As nerdy as that may seem, i thoughly enjoyed every minite of it.
So we got back into orlando last night where when i proceeded to drive home (after some much needed pita pit) my car overheated and had to leave it at the CVS Rx at 1:30 a.m. - overnight. This morning I added some h2- into it and then took it home. Lisa picked me up to do some shopping at old navy and payless...where i bought some much needed school shirts and some super cute shoes. I had an appt. to get my hair done and when i exited the facility I felt like a new being. I then went next door for some lazy moon and a yuengling. Lisa picked me up and we got our eye brows waxed and finished up our shopping adventure. Which means two more shirts and a varity of other items. I haven't spent this much money in one day in a loonnngg time. Though after it was all said and done with I was very pleased with my selection.
School starts on monday, well tuesday for me, and I am having some mixed feelings about it. It shall be good, part of me can't wait to get back into the classroom to learn and grow and meet new people. Hopefully there will be some good folks in my classes. To get back to a regular routine will be good for me i do believe, though going out will be cut in half if not more. Though this wed. we're going to chillers for another night of $1 drinks. It shall be wonderful.
Work is still work at the library, however they have made up some bull shit rules that i don't completly agree with...though we, well i shall see how it goes.
However this is enough for now as i must go.
I must make this one comment though: it's funny how people change and grow...how friends change and grow and how one can maintain their sanity when it is hard to see.
That's all for now,

well another week in the summer has flown by. I have a project due on the 22nd of this month for my one and only class...yet i seem to not have any motovation and resources for this 'project'.
I think this is the first summer where i am not excited about the upcoming fall, i think only because i know i really have to get my butt in gear. And in gear means...starting a portifolio, getting some kick ass grades if i want to attempt grad. school, and really put my heart into writing.
The other day i bought several new movies...5 for $20, not too shabby that's for sure. Here is the list: Kinsey, beyond the sea, de-lovely, a very long engagement, and spanglish. Recently i have seen Kinsey and beyone the sea. Two movies that i would recommend. Kinsey especially!
I'm moving the last weekend of the month and will be home for a week before i get to move into my new apt. on the 7th. However i am pretty excited about this new exciting move. I found out the other day that 3 co-workers are going to be roomates and live below me in the new complex. Well, below me as in, they're on the 2nd floor and I'm on the 3rd. I'm not sure which one on the second floor as i do not know which one i am exactly...however it will be exciting nonetheless particularly because these guys are awesome and we're going to have a kick ass time in the fall. Already the works of bbq's and such are coming about.
Have i mentioned that i need to find another job? well, one to replace the one i have now. I like it all okay and everything i just think that i should be working somewhere that will have something to do with my major. It may give me an upper hand once i start applying to grad. programs. Also for the fact that I'm starting to be irrirated everytime i walk into the place.
Oh yes, this past weekend i ventured to the g'ville area to go tubing with some very cool girl (aka, my friends) It was a wonderful time and deff. want to do it again! I got to see sara and steve as well as emily and her sister. The first night i spend it at sara's and the second with emily.
well i suppose that is all for now,
love and peace to all.

I haven't updated this thing in quite a while, but thought that i would write in this morning...it is now 10:35 a.m. (est.) and i'm up and awake. I have work from noon to 9 and then will proceed to pack a bag for the long weekend. You see, for this 4th of july weekend i am going home. Now usually when i go home it's a hit or miss good time. I invited my friend lisa to come down with me,...because she has nothing to do for the 4th...so perhaps we can hit up a bbq or something while we're both down in the fort town. I do wish to go to FM beach, mainly because i haven't been in forever and a day...i think i've been to coco beach more times in the past 6 months than i have fm beach in the past couple of years. Although coco beach is quite nice..and i do love the sand. You know something else i have been enjoying is the publix sub. haha...the publix sub, but it is quite yummy.
This weekend i'm supposed to go to the movies with sara and her mom...perhaps steve too, but who knows, to see the devil wears prada. the previews look good, so hopefully the movie will be good. The other night i watched shop girl with claire danes....such a wonderful movie! (girly movie or not)
oh yes, but i almost forgot the most important thing...i bought a new toy last weekend,...and no, not that kind of toy...but an ipod nano...it's so cute and such a wonderful device!
well it is time to get ready for work.
until next time america!

02:57 pm - The perfect man
So it is officially the end of the weekend. And oh what a wonderful weekend it was!
Friday afternoon I drove to g'ville for the night to see my best friend sara, her boyfriend Steve,...and my Chris.
As exciting it is..chris recently purchased a car...so now he can come to orlando!
After the drive back to orlando yesterday, I met my peeps at this amazing pizza restraunte near Downtown Disney.
After it was time to get our game on in a round of mini golf..and oh what a round it was! I placed 3rd out of 5,..not too shabby...especially since the scores were 45, 46, 47, 50, and 59.
At this point in time, I'm taking one online class...which i love! well not the class, but all of the free time!! Working two days a week, and having 5 off...this summer has to be one of the best thus far!
This week i'm coming home for a short time, thursday through monday. :)
Currently I'm watching one of those movies where you don't have to a)think b)feel c)care....The Perfect Man (the movie title)
Mr. Big from Sex and the City is in this picture....he's the male main character..which is kind of ironic for all of you who watch sex and the city.
alright, going to crawl back into bed...homework will have to wait.
<3 to all

ps - this is a pic from key west last weekend....kind of odd and all because i don't even remember taking it...and it's such an awesome pic!

One of my best friends sara came down from G'ville to Orlando to visit me. All for my 21st birthday! It was fan-fucking-tastic!
Friday we went to lazy moon for some pizza and a yuengling. Yummy to the tummy.
After we met up w some library folks at the ale house for some $1.75 drafts.
The next day after sleeping in, sara and i went shopping ALL day long. Urban Outfitters was the numero uno spot.
after shopping, we got ready and went to I-bar downtown. I have to say it was a fab. 80s night!
it is that time to depart with the ones we love...and time to take a shower!!

02:20 pm - dirty dancing...
oh geeze, what to say....i've been trying to update this thing as much as possbile lately. Right now i'm watching dirty dancing...what a great movie huh? In the process of laundry, and picked up my room quite a bit. Tomorrow I'm going home to celebrate my birthday, my dad's b/d, and mother's day all in one weekend. Geeze, i don't mean to be selfish, but celebrating my 21st b/d w/other occasions kinda sucks. :(
I feel like i'm in the middle of a big mess...i need a girls night out to talk and talk and drink and drink.
anyway, next week is my birthday, and i'm pumped!! This is wierd, but it's almost like if my things are not in order, then it's harder to put my life back in order. wierd...
I overslept this morning, missing work - which sucks....i called and told them that i overslept, but it doesn't matter we're in the middle of the break - so it's an option to work or not. Still sucks that i missed out on the money :( which it seems that i am in need of it every week more and more....
well, i should do something besides sitting in front of my computer typing away...
