Help.

It's been a long time since I last wrote into this thing...and I bet there's no one out there who's listening.

Since April things have been steadily going down the drain and caving in around me. I keep trying to convince myself that things are going to be alright. I desperately try to forget my problems whether that be studying, a new man candy, working out, or facebook....anything to get my mind off of the last three months is heaven.


You see in the span of three months I've lost a boyfriend, I've crashed a car, I have no money to my name, my savings has been depleted, I have no way of paying for my last year of college and I'm practically failing my physics class. Add in the possibility of cancer for BOTH of my parents...well u get the picture.

Until this point I've been fine or so I try and tell myself. I try to tell myself that things like this happen, that everyone needs to go through tough times to find out who they really are and to really learn life's lessons.

However, after having your heart ripped from your chest, having your car smashed to pieces, having a loan denied over and over again, realizing you owe more money than you do only to deplete your entire life savings and then to have your parents tell you they've been undergoing tests and procedures because they could both have cancer....one comes to realize that life sucks and that you fell like your drowning.

I need someone something to throw me a life vest...I want to pull myself up out of this mess, out of the water, but I don't think I have the strength. Everything I've ever loved has gone to crap within the last 90 days. I used to be so grounded so put together, but I think I've finally hit rock bottom.

I'm slowly losing my faith in myself, in God, in everything. I know that's horrible to say, but I don't understand why he is making me go through all of this all at once. He has been my rock through all this and I really believed that he had something better for me planned, but....I just don't see how.

The worst part about all of this is that I don't have anyone who I can really turn too, because no one around me understands what I'm going through. And if I even begin to explain people judge...the one person I feel like I could tell this all too doesn't want anything to do with me. I'm sure they have someone new to woo anyways.


That's just my luck.

Miss Me...?

It's been so long since I last wrote it. So much has changed. I don't even know where to begin. Hm..well to start off I am a single woman for the first time in my "college career" haha. It's a long story, but to sum it up Joel decided he didn't want to be with me anymore and ended things on the 29th of April. (yes my parents anniversary and what would have been our half anniversary)


It was extremely rough. Every time I feel like I miss him or I feel like being down I think back to April 30th. That day will by far be the saddest day of my life. I never knew that my body could produce so much water in just a mere span of twenty-four hours. By the time that first day ended I was dry. I couldn't cry anymore, my eye's hurt to keep them open, I didn't want to live anymore. I kept thinking I couldn't, wouldn't live without him. It's hard to have the person you trusted most, the person you "loved" for so long rip your heart from your chest and stomp on it.

Nearly a month later I still have my moments where I feel down and I miss Joel, but it's nothing compared to that first twenty-four hours. I realize now that I am better off without him and that I have accomplished so much that I never thought I would be able to do.

I've been spontaneous, adventurous, I've set goals and accomplished them, I've gone out clubbing, I've met guys and I've had a good time doing it. I didn't think I would be able to do any of this after what happened with Joel. It's good to know that a part of me keeps pushing to find myself and make the necessary improvements in order to reach my full potential.

One of the happiest day's of my life thus far occured last Saturday. In just over a week I set out to run my first 5k race. I trained for it, I did it and I dominated it! It was the most glorious feeling I've felt in a very long time.

So my fellow bloggers I may have been absent for awhile, but it's summer vacation and I have more than enough time to dedicate my inner most thoughts to you. I'm sorry for the absence, but I promise I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

Break.

Well Folks...I am officially on spring break.

Although I only know the grades to one of my classes (A) the other three are still MIA. That in itself is very nerve racking. I was hoping for at least a 3.0 this quarter...not sure if I was able to accomplish that just yet. I somehow managed to get a B on one of my health finals I didn't study for. Sadly, that's not the one I wrote about previously..that one I am actually very anxious to find out the grade for.

So alas I am still awake..five minutes till midnight. I really really hate the time change..it throws my sleeping patterns off so badly. Considering I slept in till 10 o'clock this morning and now I'm not getting to bed till midnight..that very rarely happens at all. So enough of my rambelings...I feel as if that's all I'm doing in this entry.

I'm off to Portland in the morning..yet again. I bet you're wondering if I ever get tired of driving up there every weekend...and the answer to that is yes sometimes, but seeing Joel is worth it and it makes it a lot easier. My mission this weekend is too scout out a new backpack and some new shirts and such. I had zero luck at the Woodburn Factory Outlets (shocker). So here's to hoping that Clackamas Town Center won't let me down.

Until Next Time.

Luck.

Good Afternoon Darlings!


So as I wrote last night I have my last final in about five hours...woo hoo! Then it's a small break before I am back in school for another three months. On a more positive note, Joel is finally going back to school next term as well! That in itself is extremely exciting :]

I am still a little upset about not going to Frisco for my break. I was really looking forward to seeing my friends and spending time in a big Metropolitan city with my boyfriend..but alas some thing's are not meant to happen when you want them too...kinda like studying for my last final.

Haha I really really am trying my hardest to sit down and concentrate on my notes long enough to study, but it's just not working out real well for me. I can't seem to sit down long enough and read through all of my book notes. I can only hope for the best on my test tonight. I only missed one class and I hope my brain will remember everything my professor discussed in class. (Sometimes I am so sick of school).

What's the worst part is I have a solid B+ in the class right now, but because the professor hasn't posted grades on my 74 page note summary or my 10 page paper I don't know what I need to get on this final in order to pass the class with a B or higher. Stupid Professor.

Just Keep Me In Your Prayers!
Until Next Time

Raincheck.

Well it's almost 1 a.m. on Thursday Morning...I have my last final in 17hrs and I should be going to bed. So I hope I can get in at least 8hrs of study time...but we shall see. It's not looking promising. I am so exhausted from this week..I honestly just want it to end.

In light of recent event's and different circumstances it seems that things have been falling apart around me. Whether it be my lack of medical insurance, my job insecurity, or my lack of a spring break. Yes, I am sad to acknowledge that Joel and I will not be heading to California for my spring break. I was fortunate enough to get the money I spent on a hotel refunded by a certain travel company. ( I will definitely be using them in the future, great customer service!!)

I will admit..I'm a bit bummed out. Actually I was a lot bummed, but it's progressively gotten better the more time I've had to stew about it. Perhaps, one day I will be able to do the things I want and travel the places I want with no restrictions and no self doubt. However, until that day I can dream about all the wonderful places I will be able to travel too..sigh

For now I need to make it through my last final, I need to get things moving for my internship for next quarter and I need to start saving up some money for a few necessities..(i.e. a new backpack and maybe a new wardrobe haha)

That will be my way to cope with the depression of my lack of a spring break. Who said shopping isn't the best medicine. :]

Well my fellow readers I think I am going to hit the sack, well I'm going to try to at least. Then it's time to hit the books until 6pm tomorrow. Woo hoo!

Wish Me Luck
Until Next Time

Update Finally.

First off let me apologize for not updating my blog for some time. Last Tuesday-Friday was perhaps one of the most stressful times in my entire collegiate career. Two HUGE assignment's due two day's straight....was way too much stress. However, after that was over with I was able to get to my internship in Salem and then headed straight to P-Town to stay with my boyfriend for the weekend. Now that's how to end a week from hell <3

Now I am studying for my Modalities final tomorrow at 6pm. I ca only hope that I am able to secure a B or an A in the class. My goal is to get at least a 3.0 this semester in order to get my GPA up higher. So I am hoping I can pull off a good grade on my test tomorrow. Wish me luck! Also I am going to try and write in here more often...now that I'm not too stressed out!


T-Minus 11 day's till the Road Trip!!

Until Next Time

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you.

Hello World!

It's been awhile. I'm finally starting to unwind as the last two weeks of class come to an end. I can't believe it's already Wednesday of Week 9!! Time really does go by extremely fast. A few new developments have come to my attention since my last entry. First thing is first I am delaying my graduation time at least another 3 months. I want to be able to take my time and re-due a few classes to get my GPA up higher. I just don't need that extra stress in my life. IT was driving me insane!! :[

Aside from my new found comfortableness with school I am happy to say that Joel and I are going to be heading down to California for my spring break!! We've only ever had one other road trip together and that was a day trip to Seattle two year's ago. I am sooo stoked to be going to San Francisco and the bay area!! As a native California I am ashamed to say that I've never been there. :[


Alas I couldn't be happier!! :]

Frazled Mess.

Hello World!

I'm sorry I've been MIA this last week or so. Once again I've been beyond busy! I am finally done with midterms..which I'm happy to report I passed with high B's. I've also accomplished another week of my observation/internship in Salem. I have to say that it's getting more and more exciting. Andrea (my OT) performed an ultrasound(not the kind that mommies to be get), but the kind that is used in a therapeutic setting. she also performed a treatment of electrical stimulation (E-Stem). It was great! I got some one on one practice time in and I also got to observe two patients this last week. I can only hope that once I accumulate 40hrs of observation Andrea will put in a good word for me to be hired on as an aide!! :]

Aside from my internship and getting through winter term at OSU...I've begun registration for Spring Term. I'm in the process of getting one more class that I wanted and once that is over and done with my schedule will be looking a bit more solid. I'm still waiting to find out if I got into my practicum this term and an art class that I'm going to take at LBCC.

Figuring out my schedules for the next year is getting to be more and more stressful/problematic. My original goal was to be done with school Spring Term. Now that I'm finding out some classes are only offered specific terms or I had more classes than originally planned things are becoming hectic. It wouldn't have made a big deal to finish up my undergrad during the summer...but alas some grad school's I'll be applying to start their program during SUMMER session...so it's a race against time to figure out my schedule with school, work, volunteer hours and my internship.

So yes I think the degree of stress that I'm feeling at the moment is a little above normal, but I think it will all work out in the end. Hopefully...until then I think I might schedule a massage and start budgeting my time a bit more thoroughly.

Oh and did I mention that I am not on an intense budget till my next paycheck/financial aide check..oh how it sucks to be poor. :[

Until Next Time

It's A Love Thing.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

I hope everyone's day has been as spectacular as mine has. My wonderful boyfriend had a bouquet of flower's delivered to my house this morning. I woke up to a wonderful display of stargazer lilies & iris'! Although they weren't completely budded so once they all bloom I will take a few pictures of it and post it on here for you to see!

Since Joel and I can't spend Sunday evenings together we celebrated our Valentines a little early this year. Last night Joel and I watched James Bond Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, ate yummy pizza and cuddled like the adorable couple that we are. That had to have been one of my favorite moments. So yes my darlings my Valentines Weekend was absolutely wonderful!

Now that you are up to date with my Valentine's Day Surprise..I think I should fill you in on what's been going on in the life of Vicky. I've been MIA for the last few day's only because I've been busy busy busy. On Friday I had my first day of my internship/job shadowing...it went extremely well! Although it's a bit of drive (about 30 minutes) it was completely worth it in the end. I was able to meet a handful of therapists and I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to follow around the only Occupational Therapist at the facility. Throughout the four hour's I was there I was able to observe a thumb splint, E-Stem, a pulsed ultrasound, various stretching methods, & goniometric measurements. It really opened my eyes to the techniques that the therapist was using. I didn't realize that most of things I'm learning in school (like at this very moment) really do apply to what I'm going to be doing in the future!!

That experience really reinforced my understanding of Occupational Therapy and it solidified my decision to enter this particular field of study. The best new's came towards the end of my first day...after Andrea's (The OT) last patient left for the day she told me I can volunteer as much as I would like and that I could possibly be hired on as an aide!! In case you were wondering aide's basically help get patients started in their program. For example, they could apply ice or heat to help warm up the muscles or help decrease pain or inflammation. They could also help start the patients on electrical stimulation or ultrasound etc. I really hope I am able to get to that point in the program..that would look so great on my grad school applications and it would be a great experience for me overall. So keep me in your prayers!!

So overall I've had one of the best weekends of 2010 so far...Minus the fact that I got absolutely no homework done..it looks like I'm going to have a busy Monday :-p

Until Next Time.

A Prayer Answered.

Good Morning Everyone! Happy Hump Day!! :]

Sorry I've been so MIA lately, but alas I've been busy busy busy. Unfortunately, I am going to be even busier these last four weeks of winter term. If you remember back a few entries ago, I was trying my hardest to try and find an internship with an Occupational Therapist. Well I have good news darlings...I got one!!!

That's right starting this Friday I will be commuting to Salem once a week to observe an Occupational Therapist in a hand therapy clinic. You have no idea how truly happy I am! I don't know what the future may hold for the pediatric clinic I originally wanted to intern with, but who know's I'm still hopeful something could turn up there.

I am just so happy, because this makes me one step closer to getting into grad school. I can only hope that the hour's I accumulate and hopefully a good recommendation will prove beneficial for me in the long run. Well I know this is short, but I will update more later this evening....I have to endure a rather boring class on Intro to health services/policy's fun......NOT.

Until Next Time.

Monday. Ugh.

So as you can see from the title of this entry...it's Monday. I had to force myself out of bed this morning and make it to campus for my 8:30 a.m. class. I was so comfy and so asleep the alarm actually went off on my phone...that almost never happens mind you. I have a few more minutes before class start's and it's right about now I wish I would have stopped at Starbuck's for a little pick me up.

On a more positive note I'm done early today. Instead of working like the busy bee that I am...I get the wonderful task of studying for a midterm tomorrow. Considering I didn't miss any of the class meetings for this upcoming midterm I have a feeling studying for it isn't going to be as bad as I think.

So my fellow blogger's I hope your Monday is far less complicated than mine and for those lucky indivdual's still asleep in bed...I envy you. (no not really...but maybe just a little).



Until Next Time

Love of my Life.

Good Evening Everyone...I hope everyone's super bowl Sunday was great! Although I have too say that I was a little disappointed in the commercials this year...even more so than last year. I spent a wonderful weekend hanging out with the love of my life. I have to admit that it was exactly what I needed. This last week I was doing a lot of thinking. Thinking about life, school, my relationships etc.

What I came to realize is that I need to make improvement's in a few area's of my life, but my relationship with Joel isn't one of them. What I have with him is so special that I couldn't think of getting rid of it or changing it for anything. I can't wait for what the future may hold for the both of us. No matter what other people may think or for all those haters and doubters our there Joel and I are going to be successful no matter what happens.

Sometimes I just wonder if I show him how much he really means to me. I know I can overreact to situations, or at time's I can be spiteful. I know I shouldn't be, but sometimes I take out my frustration and my anger out on him. I definitely shouldn't treat the man I love in such a way and believe me I feel horrible about it. I just hope he know's that my temporary insanity doesn't mean anything.

I can only hope that everyone else could be so lucky to find their other half like I have. Joel is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is there when I need him, he listens to me no matter what and he loves me unconditionally. I just hope hope he know's I feel the same way.

So my darlings to end this love letter I hope you all have a great night & thanks for sticking with me through my mushy love note :]

Until Next Time

Hopeful.

First off, let me say Happy Hump Day Everyone!

I'm about to go into my last class of the day, therapeutic modalities. Considering it's related to the field of study that I want to get into I'm pretty excited about it. It's a good class and being I'm a college senior I don't say that very often. I'm steadily becoming more relaxed with school and my classes. Although the hardest is yet to come (i.e. physics) I am very hopeful that I will be able to pass it with a decent grade.

What I'm actually disappointed in is my inability to obtain an internship. If you remember back at the start of my blog, I mentioned I had the fortunate opportunity to meet with an Occupational Therapist at church. Well sadly, I think that opportunity is slowly fading away. I thought that was going to be my ticket to success and that I would be able to obtain a decent amount of volunteer hours and excellent recommendation letters for grad school. Alas it appears I'm back at ground zero.

My boyfriend suggested I start calling around and emailing with different clinics throughout the area and so far that's exactly what I've been doing. Don't get me wrong, I am still hopeful that an opportunity will arise that will be beneficial for me in the long run.

Who know's maybe that clinic I was so excited for possibly getting an internship for will call me back. Even though it's been over a month of emails, phone calls and no correspondence back...I'm still hopeful.

So please keep me in your prayers.

Until Next Time

Stress Relief.

Good Morning my darlings. I'm sorry to say that it is only Tuesday...unfortunately. Sometimes it feel's as if my weeks are getting slower and slower. Right now I am sitting in a commons area waiting for my class on health policy to start at 10. You could imagine how much fun that one is going to be. (sigh)

Alas to bide my time before class start's I've been figuring out next quarter's schedule and researching treatments for chronic jaw pain. (sadly I suffer from that on a daily basis) My orthodontist seem's to think it's because my bite is off and because I'm clenching my jaw at night when I sleep. So much for the $5 grand my parent's paid for braces when I was younger...it did absolutely nothing except insure I have a pretty smile.

The only natural remedies that might help with the pain could be changing my diet around, exercising and journaling to help relieve unwanted emotional stress. I mean I'm a 21 year old college senior with a part time job and a committed relationship....what do I need to be stressed about...haha

For those of you considering or who are in college then you know exactly how stressful life can be. Thankfully, I only have one more year of being an undergraduate before I get my degrees. Then a whole new level of stress get's trust upon me...sad day.

Well I'm going to go get ready for class.


Until Next Time.

Vou Le Vou Couche Avec Moi

So my fellow blogger's I thought I'd update this blog of mine. After a few hour's of homework I finally decided to give up for the night and hang out with my roommate and our friend Leslie...that may or may not be an alias, but you will never find out. After a game of Candyland(yes you read that right), scattegories and talk about platonic spooning, cheating & possible ecstasy overdoses lead to a fun filled night of procrastination.

Well darlings this blog is going to cut short tonight, because I have to get ready for my day tomorrow. It's sad when my day's start blending in together and I don't know Monday from Friday. Well I guess that's not entirely true considering I count down the day's till Friday normally. I think it's time to pop in a movie, curl up in bed and fall asleep. Perhaps Moulin Rouge or maybe season 7 of Friends :]


Until Next Time

Gossip makes the world go round!

After a two day hiatus I'm back to my weekly routine. I just got back from spending a wonderful weekend with my truly amazing boyfriend. If there is one thing I truly enjoy it's spending time with that man<3 Aside from bonding with with the boyfriend I ended up coming back to Corvallis with two new pairs of shoes and my bank account a little lighter than when I left. Nothing like a good shopping spree to relax after a hectic week of school, work, and more school.

So now that I've got you up to speed it's time to discuss the meaning behind the title of this blog. I love coming home on Sunday afternoon's to juicy juicy gossip. Now I'm not going to name name's, but let's just say that there is no such thing as platonic spooning. Yes, you heard correct...once a cheater alway's a cheater in my opinion. More on the home front my roommate (Nora) and I each have certain individual's that we refer to as Satan! Now before you judge us we have legitimate reason's behind naming these certain individual's Satan. Each of which are completely psychotic in their own ways & unable to cohabitate with. Well needless to say Nora's satanic individual has been living a mere four blocks away for the past year or so. Well after driving back from Portland, I just so happened to slow down as I passed their apartment (I'm not a stalker I swear) but alas I saw moving trucks and a bare living room. Hallelujah it's a miracle....now if only my possessed ex-roommate would leave the country the world would be a better place. :]

So my fellow reader's look forward to a weekly gossip entry..because lord know's it's going to just keep getting better and better!


Until Next Time.

Chaotic Mess.

Well it's nearly 2:00pm which mean's I only have one more hour left of work and it's the weekend!! I don't know about you, but my weekends mean the world to me. Weekend's usually entail catching up on some R&R, homework and making a trip up to Portland to see my wonderful boyfriend. Now if only this last hour of work didn't seem to go by so slowly. (sigh) I have had a very productive day today which has been surprisingly great in itself.

Amongst the tranquility that Friday usually brings there is also a sense of chaos that's been brewing inside of me now for weeks. It seems that I'm coming to that point in my life where I have to start thinking about my future. I have known for awhile now that I want to pursue a career in occupational therapy, but the hard part is getting into a grad school. Now that I'm browsing schools and looking at admission requirements I am beginning to worry. I wasn't always the most focused student the first few year's of college and my GPA reflects that. Unfortunately, a lot of schools also require above average GPA's and above average grades in what they call pre-requisites for admissions.

To add another level of stress onto this situation there is only one OT school here in Oregon and it's extremely competitive. Although I am finally getting my grades up and have started buckling down in the academics department I am still struggling with finding internships/volunteer experience. I thought meeting an OT at church was more than a coincidence that it was God's own way of telling me I was on the right path...but alas that opportunity could be falling through the cracks. Joel and I have corresponded with them on numerous occasions, but no one can seem to get back to me. Sad Day.

So with my future hanging in the balance of my academic performance and my lack of volunteer experience it makes one wonder if they are going to be able to secure their position in any type of professional school. I am going to try and remain positive, but sometimes it's hard to keep your head above water.

Until Next Time

Did I really do that?

So I'm half way through the longest day of my week. My two hour modality lab is getting ready to start in T-minus 20 minutes. I've already been through one class on health policy and have another class on professional writing later on in the day. (Sigh) I'm sitting here munching my siletz bagel. For those of you who don' t know a siletz bagel is none other than a bagel and cream cheese with yummy cucumber slices in between.

What I didn't realize until just now is that I may have underpaid for my yummy cucumber bagel sandwhich. Being the ditz that I am I responded yes to a bagel with cream cheese when the cashier asked what if that's what I had. Truth be told it dawned on me not to long afterwards that, that in fact was not what I was eating. I completely robbed the bagel store of an $0.80 profit. I know for some people that wouldn't have been such a big deal...but alas I am feeling pretty guilty.

Taking into consideration my last blog post was about positive changes and moving closer to God. So I ask myself..what would God want me to do? Well after my lab is over I'm going to go back to the bagel store and leave them a $1-$5 dollar tip. That way I am repaying what I took and giving a little extra back. Since my bible study yesterday I have come to the conclusion that I need to live my life for God more than I live myself for me. This one mistake was the first factor that helped me realize just how guilty I could feel for committing a wrong.

On a much lighter note I have the most wonderful boyfriend in the entire world. Since my life has been so hectic lately I barely have time to follow up on a possible internship opportunity at a local Occupational Therapy Clinic. So what has he volunteered to do for me? He's going to call the clinic for me to see if I can get a chance to volunteer/intern for them. I really don't know what I would do without him <3>

Well I'm going to get ready for class.
Until Next Time!

Another New Change.

As I promised yesterday I was going to give this blogging thing another shot. I woke up this morning utterly exhausted. For some odd reason I wasn't able to get to bed last night till nearly one in the morning...which meant only a mere five hours of sleep! I honestly don't know how I managed to get out of bed this morning. I did managed to get to campus successfully and without my morning Starbucks! (scary thought I know)

The test that I dreaded studying for yesterday came and went fairly quickly this morning. Needless to say I think I may have passed with flying colors. After it was over, I decided I'd had enough class for the day and went home and slept. Oh boy did I sleep! Four hour's later I emerged hungry, in need of a comb and some Friends re-runs. I believe I'm on season six presently.

Today has been such a relaxing day of doing nothing and just staying under my covers. Although I do have to be somewhere in about an hour. I'm supposed to be meeting a christian minister to discuss Christianity and the reason's why I want to devote myself to God. I bet a few of you are rolling your eyes at the previous sentence. I wouldn't be surprised considering the wrap that religion has gotten in recent years. Truth be told I am a bit nervous for this meeting after all I don't have Joel around to help me. You see I was brought up Catholic, but for the past fourish year's I haven't been a practicing one. Joel started taking me to his church (Church of Christ) a few year's back and only recently have I decided that I too would like to become a member.

So now you can understand where my nerves are coming from. I'm excited for this new change in my life, but I'm a little scared as well. I know that I shouldn't be considering it's God who I'm letting into my life, but I've always been a little bit apprehensive of change. Don't get me wrong change is wonderful...it's just the process that get's me on edge. The journey is going to be amazing and it makes me so happy that I am finally reconnecting with my faith and with God.

I will let everyone know how my meeting goes tomorrow!

So wish me luck & Until Next Time

Hello World.

I just recently finished watching the ever inspiring movie, Julie and Julia. I suppose Julie Powell has inspired me to start a blog of my very own. Appropriate considering it's a new year full of new resolutions. I'm sure there are a few things that I should be doing right now, like studying for my health policy midterm tomorrow. However, as much as I try it just doesn't seem to be happening. Instead I find myself writing my thoughts down to be a more productive use of my time. So I was thinking in case I actually get any reader's it would be appropriate to introduce myself a little bit.

Although my name is Victoria I perfer to be called Vicky. I'm 21 year's young and am currently a senior in college. I should have been graduating next quarter, but I've decided to add a second major onto my studies. I was born and raised in beautiful Southern California, but I currently reside in one of the most depressing states in America. (I know crazy right?) Well it has been going pretty well for the past four year's. For the past three year's and three month's I've been in a committed relationship with one of the most amazing people I've ever met. Without him my world would be topsy turvy and I'd be lost. Joel is my other half, but unfortunately he lives an hour away from me. Somehow we make things work and I adore him for it.

A few of my favorite things include: reading fiction, watching romantic movies, spending time with my boyfriend, cuddling, anything pink, watching Friends re-runs, starbucks lattes, working out and of course sleeping in till noon.

I don't think I'll get into anything to deep tonight. After all I don't want to scare you away after the first entry. So instead I think I'll try and go back to studying (we'll see how well that goes) and wish you all a goodnight.

Until Next Time.
