Can't Fight Biology

Knitting is very therapeutic.

I've knit about a quarter of a scarf which is exciting. Its helping with my left hand. I know it is because of the strain I feel after I knit for a while but that also means its getting stronger.

So, lately, at work, it seems like the constant moving and craziness is starting to affect my low blood pressure. I start getting dizzy spells at work and body is working with my anemia to make me feel lightheaded and weak and I'm getting kinda nervous. I'm hoping that the older I get, the better it'll become. But my point is, if I'm getting dizzy spells from working at Starbucks, imagine when I'm working as a surgeon and doing long surgeries.

It wouldn't stop me (please don't think that) but I don't want that to be a problem in the future.

Biology sucks.

Besides that, its been a slow weekend. Ready for the new week to start.

Anyways, have a great Sunday lovelies!

Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off

You're a regular decorated emergencyyyy

Panic!'s first album was really good. I want to go to the concert in august but I cant find anyone to go with me. Blah, I wanna go with someone but everyone I would wanna go with, isn't interested or cant go. Fack. This sucks.

But today was interesting. I mean, not so much, but its alright. This morning after class, my friend and I went to Starbucks to work on a project and we got most of it done. Plus she might buy my tablet so fingers crossed on that. But after that I went to my next class to turn in this paper and she wasn't there at all so I waited with the rest of the class and nothing so some slipped the papers under her door but I went to her mailbox at security and left it there and emailed her a copy explaining the problem. But now I'm extremely early for my math class (I'm sitting in an empty classroom) but I ordered pizza and they actually delivered to this room! I ordered a small pizza and ate in my class while I finished up some homework. It was nice. Class starts in 30 min still so I'm just killing time now.

Tonight I'm going to Big Louies with my dad and sister so it should be a good night. I'm just so tired and I feel like my eyes might close very soon. I'm so exhausted from this week. Blah. Must. Keep. Eyes. Open.

I actually think that I'm so sleepy because of the pizza I just ate.

Lord help me, I need to be awake for this test geez.

Anyways, I'm gonna take a power nap. Ugh.

Hope everyone is a little more alert today than I am!

Jose Gregorio Gutierrez

I haven't posted in a few days but its been an awful few days.

On Friday night my best friends brother was hit by a car when crossing University and was killed on impact. They didn't find out until Saturday and that's when Joy texted me. It was such crazy news that I didn't believe it. Its been a long weekend and yesterday was the viewing and the funeral. Everything that was said last night and today was beautiful.

If he taught me anything, it was to be happy. He was never upset, never angry. He made everyone smile and was such a beautiful soul.

You never know the last time you'll see someone. He was never the type of person to make you wish you hadn't said something you would've regretted later because he never fought with anyone. Everyone just wished they had more time. The last time I said goodbye, wasn't memorable by any means. He was on his way to work and was teasing me for locking the bathroom door by accident. And as I turned my head back to doing homework, smiling, I had no idea that it was the last time I'd see him laughing. And I'm glad that was my last memory. It was pure and just showed his true nature.

I love you Jose, I'm glad you're resting peacefully.

I'll miss you.

Amateurs at war, strangers to suffering

What a rainy day

Its gross honestly. It's such a gloomy day over in Boca.

Tonight Pompano is having a family and friends night so I'll be going to that. Its been a weird day. I have class tomorrow and then I work so this weekend is kinda boring.

But yeah, nothing interesting here. preparing for Pitt and I'm super excited!

Anyways, have a great weekend lovelies!

The City

So after a very stressful and anxious two months or pacing and unbelievable lows in my confidence levels, I finally received word from the University of Pittsburgh.

But before I get into that, I will start by saying how my day went yesterday!

I got up at 10 intending to write a paper and that didn't happen, I just did some math homework while Greys Anatomy was playing in the background. I was not thinking too much of anything that morning but I was looking at my whiteboard calendar that also has my short term and long term goals. Most of these goals of course include Pittsburgh related things. So I started thinking about it but I didn't want to get worked up about it. Then Rachel and I were talking when I was on my way to work and we both decided we would hear from them soon because we were both getting anxious. But again, I brushed it off and went to work for 6 hours and didn't think too much into it.

After having a good day at work, busy but good, I went home and just wanted to sit down but as soon as I walked into the kitchen, my mom holds up an envelope and my heart stopped when I saw who it was from. The admissions office at Pittsburgh. And then I didn't want to know anymore. Any time I've been sent mail that had information in it that could either boost my confidence or tear it down, its always been bad news and never in my favor. So I didn't want to open it, but my mom wanted to so I leaned up against the counter when I opened it and after I read the first line I gave the paper to my mom and we started laughing because I was accepted.

I've been accepted to the University of Pittsburgh.

I was so overjoyed I couldn't believe it. The only issue was it was to the wrong campus but after thinking about it, I realized that I would still be transferring in as a freshmen so I wouldn't have any spot in the freshmen class at the main campus. So I think if I do one semester at Bradford (the other campus I got into) then I'll be able to transfer. There are more spots in (technically) my 'class' but im behind on credits since I started late but its a start and I'm in the school. I just didn't have a spot in the main campus. But now, I'm going to Pittsburgh in April for the Tansfer Orientation so me and my mom can see a=if we can work out something; but for right now, plans are being made for apartments, financial aid, and its all becoming so real. And I cannot wait to be up there.

This is where my life begins. A new start.

Bring. It. On.

Dexterity

I'm going to start knitting. I'm going to build up my dexterity in my left hand specifically. It's good for dexterity and it calms you so I'm going to take up knitting. Don't question me.

Its been a ridiculous few days. I closed two nights in a row (both good, no complaints) but I had a headache one night and then last night I realized today I had to be back at 6 am. I was so exhausted that after I met up with Will for lunch today, I came home and passed out for 2 hours. I was so exhausted, I started to watch Greys Anatomy and now I'm watching it all night! Yes!

Anyways, After having coffee I'm awake so I'm making Bran get frozen yogurt with me.

Hope everyone's weekend was better than mine (for the most part)!

Happy Sunday!

These pictures pretty much sum up my weekend.

Think Of The Happiest Thing, Its The Same As Having Wings

Disney was soo much fun!

We got up really early after not being able to fall asleep the night before because of having so much to talk about and then we made our way to Disney! Because I have a bit of a heavy foot, we made it there in just under 3 hours and we got there really early too.

We spent the whole day (of course) going on rides and meeting princesses and it was a lot of fun. We saw their new parade (well half) and it was really cute because they had Rapunzel on it which I hadn't seen before. We also watched the night parade which was cute because it was all lit up and short but lots of fun. We stayed long enough to watch the fireworks too and we were all emotional.

All in all it was a great day. I was worried about falling asleep when driving home but we managed to stay awake and all in all it was a great day. On Thursday we went to the beach (for 5 minutes) but left because it was too windy and we tanned in my backyard for the afternoon.

It was really great to spend the whole day with my best friend. I missed her. Only 6 weeks until she's down for the summer and then I go back up to Pittsburgh with her.

Well, today is laundry day and work at 3!

Happy Friday guys

We Are Living In A Material World

I have reached a point in my life where I dislike the sun so much and don't like looking ashy and pale so I went out and bought a self tanner. Yup, I bought a tan in  a bottle. But it actually works and it looks natural for me so why not you know? It mostly because tomorrow I'll be going to Disney with Rachel and I'm wearing shorts so I feel self conscious about my lack of a tan.

But yeah, Disney is tomorrow! I've planned this for like 2 months and I'm so excited the day is finally here. We're both so excited and we cant wait to spend the whole day together and be princesses.

Today, it was back to school, my first class got cancelled so I fot to sleep which was really nice and then I felt a lot better than the past two days. I have to get some sleep tonight too because we'll be getting up early as hell to leave so I don't want to be exhausted. We're going to get some iced coffee (not espresso, tactical error on my part last time) and some breakfast and then we hit the road! We are getting there super early because we're determined to be there early and spend literally the entire day there.

But today was pretty good, and mostly relaxing. Nice to have a day off!

But the rest of the night I'll be watching movies with Rachel and then get some sleep. I wont be posting until Thursday and then you'll see my cute outfit and what a great time we had.

Happy Tuesday lovelies!

A Kick In The Gut From Mother Nature

My uterus hates me. Like its literally imploding on itself. my legs are swollen from working too. It wasn't a hard day, it was pleasantly uneventful but I was really exhausted so it just escalated it all.

And obviously reading this you wouldn't know, but as I was typing the sentence above, MY NOSE STARTED BLEEDING. Unbelievable! I'm so mad you don't even know.

Today is just not my day, I've concluded, its just one of those days.

I'm gonna lay down for the day and relax because mother nature decided to screw with me.

Greys Marathon all night!

Happy Monday loves!

(on a random note, Rachel and I discovered that we are exactly like Cristina and Meredith from Greys. I am Meredith and she is Cristina. it's too perfect.)

Sing For Absoloution

Ok, can we just talk about Matthew McConaughey for a sec? He is so hot in movies like Sahara and Fools Gold. I mean, Y U M M Y.

What an eventful work day that I'm not gonna launch in to full detail about but basically everyone was late except me and two other people, and it was crazy town. But I was on bar and Maresa was super impressed with me and that made me happy. But besides that, I'm just really exhausted from a long day. Plus the time change fucked me up.

But the rest of the day is chill since I go in tomorrow a7 15 but Rachel is coming over tonight for a little bit! So that's something to look forward to.

School starts again this week which is kinda a drag but oh well, must carry on.

But anyways, happy Sunday ya'll!

You Electrify My Life

Just another lazy day

It's much nicer outside though and if I had more time I would go outside and tan but I really don't have that kind of time today because I have to go to work today at 3 and I close. I close with Bran today so it can be a good night or it can be a crap night. But I think it'll be good because after work were hanging out too so it'll be fun.

Plus Rachel comes home tonight! I don't see her until Sunday but at least she's in town. I miss the crap out of her.

Things with Nick are going pretty well. We talk a lot and were hanging out again tomorrow before work. Fingers crossed with this guy!

But anyways, nothing really to report but work and lazy Friday mornings. My life is super exciting right now. This week will be very exciting though, I can feel it in my bones.

But I'm gonna start getting my make up ready for work slowly so I have time.
(That's how boring my day is)

Happy Friday!

Fools Gold

Every time I watch Fool's Gold, I want to go to the Keys and spend a lot of time on the beach. Because the beaches in the Keys are actually really nice as opposed to the beaches here in Deerfield Beach. And lately the weather has been really nice but I don't have many friends who like to spend time outdoors or have the time and car to drive to the keys for a day or weekend.

Instead, for right now, I'm going to drink a Corona and watch movies about the Bahamas/Keys until plans can be made more solid.

In other news, Rachel comes home tomorrow! I am so excited because I've missed her so much! Hopefully I can get an afternoon off or switch with someone so we can go to the beach together. But I cant wait. I can't emphasize the excitement enough.

The rest of the day will be a pretty chill one because its rainy today and Pompano's practice was cancelled by the school because of the weather.

But anyways, rainy day in SoFlo so I'm going to put comfy clothes on and watch movies.

Have a good Thursday!

It's Getting Hot In Here

All I wanted to do today was take off all my clothes at work, holy heat stroke Batman!

I show up this morning and I find out the AC is broken! It was like 85 degrees when I got there in the early morning and by noon we were all baking. It was a whopping 90 degrees but in the Drive Thru window it was hotter! Let me tell you something, today, I found out what dying feels like. Holli and I were running around getting the store caught up and we were dying. When I went on my break, I stuck my face in the fridge first. I was dying. When the sun went down it got a little better. And to think I wore pants today instead of shorts.

At least everyone was in a generally good mood which was weird in itself!

But the rest of the day I pretty much just want to chill out. This guy Nick said he wanted to hang out today (this guy I've been talking to) but nothing solid is out there yet.

Anywyas peeps, Hope your Wednesday was better than my hot one!

Gumption

At dinner, Mamma and I were talking about the songs that make you drive faster and for her it was Gumption from The Holiday. And now I'm listening to the album because the music is actually really beautiful on its own.

Today was such a great day. When Joy and I woke up, we went to the beach and we spent the majority of the morning there with Juan and James and it was a lot of fun. We went swimming and threw around a Frisbee and when we went back up to the shore, a bee landed on my boob and I stayed perfectly still so I didn't scare it or piss it off but it ended up stinging me anyways! Right in my side boob! And it really hurt, but I took the pain because whatever, but then it started to really sting and it sucked. I think I eventually got dehydrated though because I felt nauseas and maybe it had to do with the bee sting as well but when we went to BurgerFi, I took one bite of my veggie burger and I felt like I would vomit. So I think I was already kinda sick and the bee sting made it worse. We left after that and came home and I showered and took a Benadryl. I sat down to watch The Breakfast Club with joy because she's never seen it (I know!) but I ended up passing out into a Benadryl induced coma and slept a few hours but felt a lot better when I woke up.

Joy just left, but we had a great dinner and watched Moulin Rouge and a whole bunch of movies. It was a lot of fun. Good day. Tomorrow I work from 8 15 to 4 45, oh lord help me because that is a really long long looooong shift. It's 8 now but I'm gonna lie down, pop some Advil PM and watch some more movies until I fall asleep.

Hope everyone had a great Tuesday and I hope none of you got stung by a bee!

The Walls I Hide Behind, You Walk Right Through

Well today was just a fantastic day. This day was my day. Everything went really well at work, I was perky and happy and making conversation on the bar with everyone because I worked my whole shift on bar today! And it was a morning shift, on a Monday! I was super proud of myself. Then to top it all off, when I got off work, Bran and I went to Panera and we got some salads and smoothies (so good!) and then went next door to get my own GameStop card and a copy of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag which I've been wanting to play since I saw the first trailer for it. So far, I really enjoy it a lot. I get to be a pirate and an assassin. What more could a girl want?

Since it's my spring break, I wont have class tomorrow so I can actually have a real day off. Joy is coming over tonight and she's sleeping over and were going to watch Netflix and probably go to Starbucks because she's an addict now. But tomorrow we are going to the beach and spending the whole day there! I cant wait because I've actually wanted to go to the beach for a while. This week looks really promising and this Friday, Rachel comes home! I couldn't be more thrilled! I work again like a mid shift on Wednesday so that's not too bad but this shifts tend to drag on because you see the people who opened get to the end of their shift, the mid-shift people come and go, and you leave when the closers start to come in for their shifts. It just sounds longer. You either want a super early shift or a shift at 3 or 3 30.

Anyways, Joy will be here soon, but here are a few pics from this week (also when Joy slept over on Thursday night).

Hope everyone had a kick ass Monday like I did!

Call Me The Breeze

It's a John Mayer kind of day. His 2013 album makes me want to spend a whole day in the Keys, on the beach, with a beer. And I don't even like beer all that much. It makes me excited for summer vacation. Even though, I'll be in school, it'll be a shorter semester because its summer and I'll most likely take the shorter semester (the 12 week one) so I don't use up my whole summer. And it'll be the first half. Plus Rachel will be down here all summer and I couldn't be more thrilled.

The more time I spend on the scooter, the more I enjoy being outside in the sunlight. 15 minutes in the sun really does improve your mood. I'm just starting to get over feeling icky in shorts and tight shirts because of the weight I've lost recently and its making me a little more open to being outside. Time are changing and--thank god--this time around, I'm changing with it. Although I'm thrilled to be moving to Pittsburgh and living in a place where I can wear clothes I've always wanted to, and be with seasons and new people and my best friend, I'm going to enjoy my summer in sunny South Florida this year and actually spend time on the beach and with friends and make the most of my summer nights.
Last night, after Bran got out of work, we went and got pizza and sat in his car and talked and it was just a lot of fun. We haven't been able to hang out a lot and I missed the shit out of him. I really needed that last night, it was a lot of fun.

Today it's absolutely beautiful outside so after I finish some homework, I'll probably go sit outside for a little while and enjoy the day before I go to work at 5 tonight.

Hope everyone has a really great Sunday!

You And Me Been Catching On Like A Wild Fire

What a long productive day...not

Today was just ok, I went to work this morning and it wasn't to bad. It was really busy thought but it was mostly a pretty good day. I got off at 1 30 and I came home and had some lunch at it was really chill. Watched the new episode of Greys Anatomy and it was actually really good episode. I really missed the show a lot. It was funny and I missed the drama funny enough.

Just a pretty quiet day with the puppies. I'm so exhausted. I keep getting morning shifts and it's really bothering me. I get so tired from working all these morning shifts. But at least the earliest one (Monday) is only a 6 hour shift which is nice. Plus this week is mostly over.

Well anyways, pretty uneventful until Rachel gets here which is in 5 days! I'm so excited. We're going to Disney when she's here, and its gonna be great. We're gonna have so much fun, I cant wait.

I set up a second monitor in my room on my desk that's connected to my computer. Its really nice for you know, homework and other stuff like marathoning TV shows on two screens. Productive stuff!

Learned something this week: Peoples priorities are very different. Always something to keep in mind.
