Well its about 12:30 in the afternoon and I just got done working out. wow that felt so good. I haven’t been able to since like Janurary and then, I was like – Im gonna work out everyday! HAH. I got so busy and caught up in things, F that! but now I have more time and I am able to do this and HOPEFULLY! stick to it. Like tomorrow they have a cycling class I’m probably gonna do to.I hope I stick to it.. I just keep thinking about next semester and how many people are going coming back skinny and tan (because of Drum Corp!) yes, I am SO jealous and I definitely do not wanna be left out of this change! So that is why I am gonna try to tan when its sunny outside! (right its dreary and NOT a good day  to). But yeah, its gonna be hard just like every other summer I have been through…saying im gonna work out…but I NEED this.. maybe some people will rethink what they did to me this past semester (break my heart!!) and will be like OK DAM IM STUPID! heheh jk but i hope. I will make it happen!!!!!!!!!

ugh my summer school starts tomorrow at San Jac. OH! that reminds I need to pay! whoops. and ask about this parking ticket and get a book for this gov. class!! UGH so much to do for some silly class I don’t care about .

Ok I am going shopping to keep busy, maybe practice and get everything set for tomorrower!!!!

PEACE, LOVE, & TBΣ.

HEY!!!!!

Wow it has been forever and a day since I have written in this…I think the last time I wrote, I didn’t realize that I probably should have thought I am not gonna be writing in this forever….so….as the title says it, I AM DONE!!!!!!!!!!!! I survived my freshman year in college. and let me tell you, as I looked at the past posts about how “nervous” I was, I laugh! because the people that I have met at UH are sooooo amazing and I absolutely love it. This past semester, I got more busy than the first which is weird because we werent even doing marching band or anything… This semester, I joined Cougar Brass, Tau Beta Sigma, and Jazz Band. It doesnt seem like a lot of “brain” power, but it sure does take up a lot of time.  I have to admit, I have been behind in my playing, but I seem to always pull it out of my ass! I got 5th chair in the 2nd band! yaahuuh. but anyways beside that, I got really busy with Cougar Brass and TBS at the same time and I kinda flipped a shit. But i eventually got use to it. It was a lot fun but really stressful at times. I went to Memphis, TN! which was a whole lot of fun. but I just felt stressed because of the studying for Tau Beta Sigma. but it alllllll turned out for the good, because now im a sista!! LITB!!!!!! and on top of that, of all the stress, I got a boyfriend for a lil while. my first one! i was so nervous! lol i kno i sound so childish but im not really the one looking to date all the time….. but i did! His name was German. and it was really cool. he was sweet. went out for a month and 3 weeks or so. April 2009 was one of the best months I have ever had….It was SOOOOO busy with all the TBS stuff, school but I had a bf that would make me so happy! but…….things came to an end. He broke it off for a silly reason. funny thing, we didnt even fight!! we got along great actually….but he is just a lil too immature to break something for that a certain reason I cannot say.. but it pissed me off and I cried for a week. and then i realized, not worth it. but im just thanking ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL of my close friends/sister that helped me out through that hellish week. see, this almost makes me not want to date anymore but I see it can go both ways because I was really happy with him but then we broke it off, and i was REALLY sad. So idunno. ugh. whatever. I will get over it during the summer. ANYWAYS, i am EXCITED for this summer because. I wanna go swimming. a lot. to get a tan! and I NEED !!!!!!!this break. College had worn me out. I need  a break. really. Cant wait to catch up on my Twilight! Havent read since summer time i know kill me. sooooo I am finally home for the summer and it feels weird. cuz im so use to being in the dorms, being able to go to my friends dorm to hang, staying up late, leaving the dorms at 11, but since im with my parents, i PROBABLY wont be doing that. cuz well, its my parents. hah. oh well. i must say my freshman year was ABSOLUTELY amazing and I cannot wait to go back to school! but I want a break lol. OH YAH! on top of all that craziness, my blackberry broke in about around March. Now I have a shit phone. and it pisses me off! ugh! im dying, really. Im so excited to get back my sleep! and catch up on TV that I havent watched since like Janurary. this is awesome but I am truely going to miss all my friends like no other! its going to kill me going a week not seeing anyone! I will miss my out of city friends so much and even in city! because i live sooo inconviently out of the way of Houston! LE SIGH. I love college and I cant wait for marching band!!!!!!!!!! GO COOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to my sisters, LITB!

Oh. Wow. It has been. forever and a life time.  LET.ME.TELL.YOU. things have changed for the good…and the bad???

Lets start off with good old college. UH. go coogs right? So, I have decided to stick with my major.  I’ve fallen in that trap of music and can’t get out.  I love it too much. I got TOO involved. and so if I leave it,  I will probably end up missing it.  SOO ive decided to be a music major! and I love it! I am officially pledging for a sorority called Tau Beta Sigma. It’s just a group of sweet, amazing people that support women in music and help with the marching band.  Love it. Although we all aren’t the same type of people, and its smaller and quieter, I feel with our class, we can make a difference! I’m so excited yet scared because I know I’m going to busy as hell.  Right now I’m enjoying every minute of this Winter break and it has been amazing (That’s why I’m able to do a journal!! havent been able since Sept! wow!)

wellllllll I’m really tired and I wanna read Twilight!! so ill type more later!!

12/27

So i have morning to just sit back, drink coffee and blogz.

SO. Hello? as I was saying up there , it’s true. I don’t think I can ever leave music. It’s stuck with me. I have come immune to just listening to it whenever and where ever. It’s ridiculous (…listening to it right now…) But. Just for fun. Just for laughs. Just for kicks. I applied to Belmont anyways couple of nights ago at midnight. I don’t know why.  I kinda noticed…when Im not surrounded by UH people or Im not at school, I always tend to drive away from my major..which is bad. But when I near all of them, im in the moment. I want to stay. But that other night, I was thinking and Im like whats the worst that can happen??so im waiting on that…ummmm friends. so i am done with the old and on with the new. although there a couple of people in HS I really adore and cannot just stop talking to them but there are a few who pretty much made it clear that they dont wanna be my friend soooo im done trying. We’re in college. we are on our separate ways. I am not going to waste my time like I did in HS trying to be someones friend who don’t give a shit. SOOOOOOO yeah. it sucks sometimes to think about cuz its like these people were my group throughout my whole HS career and every time I think about it, I get sad. But whatever. The people I have met now are AMAZING and I thank going to college for that. omg it is amazing I must say. Awesome people I love.

So I guess Im doing bits of my update life..sooooooo ill write later

btw, its almost 2009!! I dont see anything exciting about that year… except that im turning 20!!1 OMG!!! Im so old. ugh

So hello hello! It has been forever and one. Of course, I say the typical, I have been busy to the MAX. its so true! I dont think I have had time for myself once. (cept for labor day) But yeah , schools cool. busy. stressful. hate it. love it. at the same time. Marching band is always a blast. I have met so many people and believe it or not, its ONLY the beginning. (football season is until November!!! allllright) so thats exciting. and that one guy.. well. he found out. we fought. be bickered. i told him now that he knows and he doesnt like me back the same way (whats new) its going to be way different, and im right. like always of course. so fuck that. and move on with life right? but its hard. knowing you like him, and he has no problem with me back, its just that he has a gf and is it ‘not interested’ UGH. i hate it. hate hate hate. and this is why i dont have a bf.uughhh. but i still like him. and he is a total bitch to me. o well. anyways….classes are okay… I know they will get harder and im NOT looking forward to that…like right now, its easy cuz its all review….algebra is easy.. music theory is a breeze and aural skills is fun singing!! so im like cool. alright. and THEN on top of that, practicing. the worst im at. Justin is trying to teach me to practice right but for some reason, sometimes i feel the desire to practice and sometimes…well, i dont. I dont think i have enough passion for my trumpet as i use to…..I dunno why either. i think its cuz 1. well, im not good as i use to be 2. many many other amazing players (my lesson teacher is one of them!) 3.i DO NOT want to be a music ed teacher! and thats what everyone is doing at the moores school of music! sooooooo im thinking about transfering to Belmont still, or changing my major at UH and still doing band on the side. which would be cool. but i dont kno exactly what i wanna do yet. there is so much but i cant decide. ugh.

so about this hurricane?? ehh? ehh? its funny. ive never really experienced one. sure, we have gotten many threats (2 years ago , rita scare!) but for some reason, i think this one will be a wake up call. its already REALLY REALLY windy outside and all of Galveston is flooded (which is like 45 min. away from where i am) And the lights are flickering at the moment… so i should i get off soon.. cuz i gotta save this motha!  but yeah… there are some crazy pictures i have seen already and galveston is like all under water! somewhat… but yeah…. but im glad we got school off! seriously. i was having a rough week. and some classes for me got canceled yesterday so i was GOOOOOOOOOOOOD. but i still have hw. and i miss seeing some friends…….ecspecailly that one guy…..o well

GO COUGARS!!!!! im coogin it. of coogin.

-dominique

So get this, I’m officially a college student! (I kno, it has been forever) But let me tell you, i’m having the best time of life….meeting new people out the waaazoo and marching band is way fun. Now, i told you last time that i was living in a temp. housing…well, they finally put me in a room! my roommate is nice and I have gotten to kno my whole floor (realyl good friends with my neighbors!)its sooooooo overwhelming, stressful, yet fun and experiencing new opportunities. it’s amazing. but right now, im stressed HXC max. Like you dont even know. we JUST got done with a football game tonight (GO COUGARS!!!! we totally won 55-3. SUCKAAAASS!!) yah, and then we have a 3 day weekend cuz of labor day! whoo…but i feel like i have loads and loads of HW…i still need to finish cleaning up my dorm….im confused about this 1 fucking guy. who is, of course messing with my head!…and practicing my trumpet. i just got an email from my lesson teacher and now im assigned to buy more books? or something. and im like wtf no. im soooooo tired. and he requires for us to go to 4 symponies? so lets see………. i need to go to 12 recitals at MSM and then 4 more in houston….for this semester alone.LOLLLLLLL. funny, is it? busy. and THENNN i have Kappa Kappa Psi rush tomorrow at 4, which of course should be fun………but like I writing down all these to-do lists cuz its driving me insane trying to remember everything.. like today, i forgot my room key in the dorm! so my roomate had to give it to someone down the hall….UUUGHHH. so yah…but my classes are somewhat boring…. but i noticed that if i get engaged and all that, it could be cool…..like POLI sci and aural skills on thursday was fun…….supposedly i have a mean teacher for poli sci and everyone is telling me to drop out…but i hate the whole dropping classes and all that mess.. its so stressful.uGHHH just the thought of doing hw and blah blah, just freaks me out.. BUT NO !! IM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!! about next weekend, we are going out of STATE for football game!! Like the WHOLE Spirit of Houston is going!! getting a hotel and everything!! and we’re going to OK. OMMGGGGGGGGG. party time. im just saying. so yah..ummm i have the ups and downs in life right now….mostly downs….i feel like im not fit for it.. but im going to try to my hardest.. maybe it’s because im SUPER, way super tired from a long ass day of marching! OH! and im a mark representative. I sell makeup..sort of.. well i have a website and people just buy from that website…..and i get paid and 40% discount on makeup. which is COOL! cuz i love makeup to the max. so im just chillin at the moment. eating my microwave food. love it. and listening to music cuz i do that all the time…..and i think im gonna make more to-do lists and clean my room a lil………..UGH! i say that a lot, as you can tell. FRUSTRATED!

ok byeeee!

So lately, these days, have been stressful, yet fun? I guess.

Ummmm so in the next day and a half, I will packing allll my stuff up I use on a daily basis, and moving it to ghetto towers. It sucks but you know, I’m glad that I’m moving out somewhat because I always wanted to experience that WHOLE, FULL college life you kno? Without my lovely parents saying “where you goin? what you doin? what time you be home?” FFFFFFF. But I think I’m just most worried about how its all REALLY, beyond ghetto! Like I am not even exaggerating. It’s THAT bad. People get mugged here, and raped and ugh. Thank god for my pepper spray! But seriously, I get really nervous and scared at night time in parking lots or anywhere by my self….So I’m freaking out over that…..Idunno.

UMMMMM, Yesterday and today, My mom and I went shopping like crazy for all this dorm/college stuff. Don’t get me wrong, It was super fun at the time…but now I’m extremely tired (went clubbing last night) and it’s all on my floor. Everywhere. A big mess. So I’m like….shiiiiiit I don’t wanna move in 2 days. I wish it was a week or something…Whateverrr!

I haven’t read Twilight lately, and I’m seeing the signs of with-drawls. Which is bad! I’ve never been this BAD about obsessing about a book. Like I LOVE the Harry Potter books, but I F*CKING LOVE Twilight books more. It just seems to get to me and my emotions… OOO *lesigh* How I wish Edward was a real person. hehe. I can’t wait to read tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CANT TILL THIS MOVE COMES OUT! OMG !!!!!!!!!! AHHHH, I cant help my self.  I love everything about it.

i have not posted anything in while and i totally have a reason. I have a new obsession. It’s called Twilight. i kno i kno, its that vampire book that all the teens die over, but seriously, it’s an AMAZING book! and its just the beginning for me. Im on chapter 10 or something of the first book and i have 4 more books to read. so. yeah. i have been doing that at night instead of typing here…….I really want to keep up with this because i like looking back in the past….so some updates……..I told my manager at Ulta, this coming week is my last week until i get the hang in school and what not. She PROBABLY will forget and schedule me, but I won’t come in. ugh. annoying…ummm oh ya! I’m trying this diet my mom paid 40 dollars for online. and im pretty its hard!!!!!! im on my 4th day and its driving me insane. maybe because im SO USE to just eating anything, whenever. I guess that’s my problem….So a day in the diet consists of this….. Meal 1: scrambled eggs and cheese?? wtf right?
meal 2: walnuts and roast beef.
meal 3: milk, apple and bacon
meal 4: chicken and hard boiled egg (i dont like hard boiled)

and the rule is you can eat until your full but ONLY that. It sucks. But my cousins did and they lost like 15 pounds in a month…which is awesome! oh! and it changes each day. and then after 11 days, i get 3 free whatever days! which is great. but i dont know if i can keep up with this… i wish i had started this earlier but school is about to start and i KNOW ill be eating out at the school and other places.. so we’ll see. I’m gonna stick to it this week.

UMM NEXT monday, is summer band.. im kinda excited but nervous….i know its gonna be fun but its just the whole meeting people and going back to socializing.. which is okay…but lately, this summer, i have been the complete opposite. i dont know why either…i mean here and there, i go places but not what iuse to. maybe its cuz i have no money and desire to go out..cuz i kno once college starts, i will be gone all the time….so we’ll see! and HELL, I have to commute to school which sucks SO SO MUCH ! cuz the stupid lady told us we may have a dorm but then we go up there and talk to another lady and she said we are still in waiting line……UGH! im so pissed! i dont want to live at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too much gas to drive there and back OH and i dont wanna get mugged!! in my car!!! shitt!!!!!!

o well…this year should be interesting.. especially for my parents.. i dont think they know how much of a change its actually going to be for me….being out so much……cuz i kno for sure i dont wanna stuck up in this house NOT living life and young……..and they want that.. of course. whatever.

sooooooooooooooooo okay im done ranting!

until then,

It is now August 5th, 2008.

2 and a half more weeks till school starts.
1 and a half more weeks till summer band starts
Next week will probably be my last week at Ulta..unless they let me work at least twice a week…

As of right now, I FINALLY got a loan. Realized it wasn’t enough, so we may have to apply for another one later on…..Got my books reserve- CHECK
Register for parking- CHECK
Meal Plan- will be CHECK
Got trumpet chemical cleaned- CHECK
Dorm room for this fall- HELL to the no.

About that last one, I call to check on the status of my “Temp” Housing they put me in. Turns out I’m just in the list to be in temp housing. Meaning I don’t even have a dorm room yet. And I thought this WHOLE time I was going to get one……..So I’m pretty pissed about that. I tell my future roommate and she is furious. She is going to call today and see what’s up with her….She said if we don’t get this (after we beg and beg), she was thinking about getting an apartment with me? And I’m like..I don’t know if I’m ready!! (Even though it would be so awesome to have one!) But first of all, I don’t even know if I’m going to UH next year.. 2nd, That means more money I DON’T have. 3rd, All those responsibilities……4th, I don’t have money… Did I mention that already? Yep, everything is expensive… and I probably won’t end up working this fall because I’ll be So SO busy. Oh well. We’ll see. We are both going up to complain because the lady DID say that we were going to get a dorm room no doubt.

On the other note, someone from Corporate office of Cinemark emailed me back saying I was NOT disqualified but I did not get the scholarship. That’s OK.     *My textbooks for school ended up costing me all my scholarship money…500 dollars…ugh.   *This so called Tropical Storm Edouard….can we say..once again, absolutely NOTHING…not that I’m mad.. But I hate when my mom gets in that freak out mode, and she starts buying everything under the sun to “prepare” and it doesn’t even come!   *I’ve been practicing my trumpet! I guess that’s good…..    *I’m excited because tomorrow The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ANNNDD Pineapple express is coming out in theaters. YYYYYAYYYYYYYYYYYY.     *I can’t think of anything else other than I’M BROKE… even after getting paid at my 2 jobs.. can you believe that? What a shame.

WELLLLLL, I guess I’m gonna go back to bed because it’s WAY too early for me to start the day.. Right now, I just could not sleep.. So adios!!!!!!!

311

Oh well!! COLDPLAY concert: 104 days !!!

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

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!
