still stressed.

July 31, 2008

I’m in the worse mood ever. I just called my ex-job, Cinemark because I had signed up for the scholarship they were offering in April 2008. Well after I turned it in, I put my 2 weeks notice in. I call my manager today and she said this whole time I was ineligible. WTFWTFWTF. I did not know about this TILL NOW. what the FUCK. I am beyond pissed at the fact that no one told me, and I’m thinking to my self that I am going to get it and well SHIT. My friend who did the SAME THING got it last year! No wonder everyone hates that hell hole (cept for the people..love em) so wtf I’m pissed at that because I NEED MONEY! And my general manager decides to tell me..o i dunno, 10 EFFING MINUTES AGO! God.  But that’s okay, I emailed the Coperate office. So we good. and we’ll see what happens.

Last night, I went to the Snoop Dog/311 concert! that was so crazy. I think everyone in the audience was high as a kite and drunk. It was fun though nonetheless. I am SO thankful for water after that show. I was so thristy, that I was about to crowd surf my self to the front so I can be escorted to the back of the crowd to get water! But we were like 2nd to front row. Really close. it was cool. Too bad I didn’t know like, any of the songs. Or I probably would’ve had more fun.

Still a little worried about next year..(or shoud I say…3 weeks) I still don’t have my books, parking permit and I have no idea where I am living. I can’t order my books because supposidly they don’t have the theory books in yet. So i’m guessing to wait? Ugh. I hate waiting. OH! and I don’t have a loan.. which means NO MONEY! My dad is just so busy and LOVES asking more and more questions that he kind of waits it off. Which drives me insane…………….

So maybe right now, I feel confused, lost, pissed and mad. I have called people and talked and asked questions but I still feel like I have no answers……….

peace, love and UNITY! – Snoop, 311

stressed!

July 26, 2008

hello. hello. last night i saw XF2 with my very good friend Amanda. she has been obsessing with this movie since I DUNNO. long time. I have never seen anyone obsess with something that much! Anyways, that was fun. we played rock band (LOVE IT!). It was so great seeing her! Miss my Amanda terribly!

so this past week has been quite stressful. I’m just trying to get everything ready for school. My dad is getting questions answered and what not. I need to get a loan soon. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to work during school because I will be terribly stressed out with marching band, school, and studying. AHH just thinking about it makes me nervous. It sucks though because I really need to keep my job but I will have no time. I am taking 14 credit hours. Which IS PLENTY. (Most people take 12 there first year…) My dad and I are trying to get our facts straight and put together for loans and money wise. I still have to buy books, ask about my Cinemark scholarship?, ANNND I want to go shopping for college (supplies, laptop case, agenda) you know, little things like that. I love making lists so that is something I definitely need to start getting to. ugh. So much to keep up with and school hasn’t even started with. So yeah. That’s what I’m kind of focusing on right now. I still have Belmont in the back of my head…It is going to be one crazy year….. Anyways, I have work in the morning at 10…way too early. So goodnight!

long time..sry

July 23, 2008

Well hey there….regarding my last post, there has been a LOT that has changed about that… well…sort of.  I will start off with the San Antonio trip that I just got back from.. let me tell you…I never thought just meeting people once or twice (you kno that awkward stage) would be SO MUCH FUN! I went with some friends that I met through Justin at like clubs or parties or something. They are so awesome! they are just those people who aren’t full of drama and just love to have a good time. That’s what I’m about! And thankfully, these are the people I will be with this coming Fall at UH. They are full of life and I love it. They helped me with ANNNYY questions I had about band or the school. So I’m not as worried or nervous as I was. But unfortunately, I am tugged between them, school, and my future. Although I would have no problem fitting in at UH and being part of the band and what not, before this trip, I had plan to just get through college at UH one year and transfer to Belmont to continue my major music business. After my New York trip with my uncle, Brad, and Amber, Brad told me about this college and it was…IS exactly what I want. So, I guess I will continue to look into that school while still going to UH. If I decide I like what I am doing there, I will stay. I’m planning to visit Belmont maybe during Christmas time..That would be real cool. This school is EXACTLY what I want for my future. I do not want to make a choice based on my friends when I’m trying to my find out my future.. you kno? So that is why I am tugged both ways. Ugh. Le Sigh. ANYWAYS.

San Antonio was so fun! Thursday night, we went to see midnight showing of Batman..which was amazing. And then Friday morning, we woke up at like 4 am to leave. That was a pain! We got there around 10. (we took our time getting up…lol). We got to our GHE-TTO hotel, and then went to visit Phantom Regiment practice to see Daniel and a friend. Let me tell you, Daniel is so cute! Too bad he is gay. All those DCI people get really tan. and thennnnn we went to see the Cavaliers…we saw Justin! It was good to see. Although, it wasn’t the same (feelings) like in the past, it felt good to see his skinny ass. He definitely brings a presence and that’s why everyone loves him! Anyways, then the next day, we went out to eat at the riverwalk and then DCI! All the shows were really good. but I believe 5 stand out in my mind. Everytime I go to DCI shows, they make me want to try out for my self.. so I’m thinking about going for Santa Clara Vanguard..or something. We’ll see. And so then the next day, we went home. but let me tell you, I had so much fun!

And then I got a call from this girl I roomed with at Orientation saying we may possible room together next year! which makes me very happy because that means less gas for me, no parents bothering me, andddd more freedom! But thats a 50/50 right now. I wouldn’t mind living at home but it would be so much better cuz i would HAVE to deal the parents, plus my sister, gas money, andd not be able to get out the house whenever. so we’ll see!!!!!!

OK i am done. and i cant WAIT to see Step Brothers, Pineapple Express and Mamma Mia in theaters!!!! and XF2………!! yay.

short and not so sweet.

July 17, 2008

Well, today I went to that nasty ghetto beach with a couple of friends. It was fun. Got somewhat of a tan and burn. Good. Good.

Then suddenly, I come home to well you know, the reality of life….Absolutely no money to spend (broke from New York), Got freaking scared/nervous about college coming up….I think that is what getting me the most. And it’s not cool. Because it’s taking over me and I think of all the worst possible things that can go wrong. To tell you the truth, I rather stay at home. I feel I am not ready to take on life. I don’t know how to handle the financial part. And then I always run to my dad. I’m scared. I’m so scared. I need to keep a job so I can actually have money to spend on…well you kno…..EDUCATION. and other stuff. Ugh this is frustrating and I just needed to let it out……..

One of those summer days

July 16, 2008

Well heyyyyy. In the back of my mind, I can hear it say I’m PROBABLY not going to keep up with this as I thought I would last night. Welllllll lets see, today is Tuesday? Right? Yes. On Tuesday and Thursdays, I work with my mom at this babysitting job called Mothers Day Out. I babysit the 3 year olds. They are sooooo cute! They make me want to be a little kid again…When life was EASY! and everything was given to you.. Ahhhh, the good days. Some of the kids I love to death! and Some of the kids that drive me up the wall! But then they end up being super cute. All of them make me think of my baby days. Life was swheet. Yeah I probably don’t remember. You know that saying monkey see, monkey do? It’s SO true! They do everything they see. In the movie, Meet the Fockers, you know how the dad teaches the little baby ” to self sooth”, unfortunately, you gotta do that sometimes. Now that I think about it, if you give the baby everything it wants, they wil become so use it and want more. OOOO ecspecailly if you say no to them, later on around 5 or 6, They will say no back! Like motha effa! WTH. right? UGH. Kids are too complicated. I have mixed feelings about having a child. I say I never will but I probaby most likely wil. Hahaha. Who knows.

And then, after work, I went to lessons… because you kno, I am majoring in music so I have to (someone has to force me) to practice during the summer, or I won’t! Sounds bad I kno!

This weekend I’m going up to the lovely San An for a kinda DCI trip. Hahha I love watching the shows though. They’re so much fun to watch. Makes me wanna be all hardcore about my music. Just what I need before school starts because right now, I’m like bleh. Nervous. Don’t wanna go. You kno that usual. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVEEEEE playing my trumpet and everything about it. But right now, nothing is here to motivate me to practice more. I have auditions  the first week of school.. Which that will be hectic on top of going to classes and what not. AHHHHHHH. So I’m takin it easy right now. Prooobbably a bad idea. O well. I’m going to the beach tomorrow with some friends! So excited. I love ocean. That sounds lame but its sooooo true. Love it. The sound. Animals. Water. Not Galveston though. ughhhhhh.

I think this is all. I will write later. hopefully……

love dom!

That’s a first

July 15, 2008

So….Hi. Hello. Let me put this out there first…I have not written in any type of blog in very very time. Not since those XANGA years. But I have decided I want to now because when I type something about my day or how I feel at the moment, it makes me feel so much better! Plus, I’m pretty bored these days, OH and I have a Macbook which is way cool to type on so..Why not?

Right now, I can’t sleep. My mind is rushing with all these thoughts about next year, friends, life, and the upcoming 10 years of my life. Maybe it’s just part of the transition of going to college and kind of freaking out because I don’t have a set and stone major yet.  Thank goodness I’m not the only one who feels this. I’m terrified! But I’m just going to let it come to me one step at a time…..and now I’m getting really sleepy. I will write later.
