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.
