Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is my 25th birthday and I had such a fabulous time! I received some great speakers for my new laptop from my boyfriend, a wireless mouse for my laptop from my dad, $200 from my future in-laws, a great time with my family, and a ton of well wishes from my friends. Plus, now I can rent a car and the insurance for the cars will go down because of my age. Who said turning 25 didn't have its perks? ^_^

Happy Birthday to ME!

Thanksgiving

This was my first thanksgiving as a vegetarian. My future mother in-law (FMIL) was very kind in preparing plenty of vegetarian dishes for me to eat. Foods such as white potatoes, sweet potatoes, string beans, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and cucumber (the last three being raw and cold, just the way I like them). There was of course Turkey for the meat eaters of the night. ^_^ Overall it was a wonderful thanksgiving meal. 

Also, it was the first time my father met with the future in-laws. In the words of my dad "Thank goodness it was nothing like the movie." ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

Meanness

I cannot understand why people can be so mean sometimes. Whenever I snap at someone or yell, I always end up apologizing for being so mean. Yet whenever people are mean to me they either don't see it or refuse to acknowledge it if they realize they have hurt my feelings. There have been too many days in my life where I have locked myself in a room and cried my eyes out to no one but myself or my cat. 

I've been told that I am too nice and yes I can be for the most part. I do not, however, allow people to walk all over me like I'm some placemat. It seems that people confuse being nice with being submissive. Those are two totally different things and I become really annoyed with others assume they can take advantage of my niceness. 

I was raised to be independent. I was told to think for myself. I was instructed to defend my self and beliefs. Then explain to me why people refuse to let me be me and why they insist on treating me with meanness. 

-_-

Procrastination

I do not know why I do this to myself but I tend to wait until the very last minute when it comes to major assignments. In my mind I keep telling myself that I have plenty of time and history has told me that I always pull through. However, I keep forgetting the panic that I go through prior to completing the assignment. 

I just completed a major assignment today but only thanks to a classmate to lent me the book necessary for said assignment. Without this book I would have been S.O.L. and I cannot afford to miss any more assignments. I was also fortunate enough to complete the extra credit that is also due today. Again, I do not know why I do this to myself but so far I've pulled through every time. 

Only 2 more major assignments to go and I'm done until the summer. 

Reunion

Last night my father arrived at the airport for his week long visit with me and my future new family. This week he and my future in-laws will be meeting one another for the first time ever. I'm pretty excited about this because I have had the pleasure of getting to know the future in-laws for over a year now and I know they will get along great. I am one lucky girl to have such a loving father, loving boyfriend, and his loving parents. Some people just click I guess. ^_^

I do, however, have tons of homework that I foolishly have put off until the very last minute and so the first few days will be rather dull. That is until Wednesday!! Oh yay!! I can't wait! Thanksgiving is always one of my favorite holidays. Especially this year since my birthday is this Sunday. I'll be 25 years young and going strong! Hehe...

Happy Turkey week everyone!

A Lazy Bum

I've been such a bum lately, it's ridiculous. My dad is arriving on Sunday and I had so much time to do my homework and clean up the apartment but did I do that? No. I cleaned the bathroom, which says a lot because I hate cleaning bathrooms and dishes, and I also cleaned out my closet. That was a project in and of itself. However, I still have a paper and extra credit to do for my Sex Crimes class, plus I have to make up hours at the Animal Shelter. I had to miss this week because of the car troubles. Now I have to do all this with my dad around. Why do I wait so long to get stuff done? Because I'm the Queen of Procrastinators. Yay.... 

On top of that I have been slacking off at the gym. I've only gone once this week and I was scheduled to go three times! I plan on going later tonight but still, I shouldn't be so lazy. I made my goal for the MEPS but now I have to keep the weight down and build up my muscle strength at the same time. In my defense though I have been running sprints to the busses and trains for the past two days plus I've been doing some push-ups at home. Come Monday, Dad and I are working out and doing homework. Ok, my dad isn't going to do homework but I sure as hell will be...or else I'll never graduate! 

I'm on campus in my uniform in the ISO office and it is hotter than the Land of Down Under in here. I guess I'd rather be hot right now than freezing my face off. I don't think I'll ever get used to the cold up here.

New Home.

I have been blogging for quite some time now. My first bloghome was  LiveJournal. Then I moved on to Xanga. However, Xanga is loosing its luster and its fanbase. They are creating Xanga Powered sites that are generating traffic away from its loyal customers and only promoting those who contribute to those other sites. It's dividing the community. I'm very frustrated about this because of the fact that I payed for a lifetime membership of Premium with Xanga and now I feel--well, unwanted. Plus, no one reads it much anymore. I'm not saying I expect people to be reading this one any time soon but if you do happen to stop by, please let me know. I'll even pay you a visit as well. 

Isn't that what blogging is all about? Telling your story so that others know that you exist. So this is my story. I hope you find it interesting. :-)

Hello

I don't have much to say at this moment except "Hello."
