I just noticed that I haven't posted in a while so I thought today will be the best to do so. School has been going pretty well, classes are starting to gear up for finals, reading material has been building up, and the days until summer starts are getting closer.
I just found out that I may have to take summer school this year, but since the budget cuts are getting more severe than before, SFSU will be going through an extended learning program for summer classes, which is WAY MORE EXPENSIVE than regular summer school. BUT in the long run, it will be less expensive to get the class out of the way instead of paying for ANOTHER semester for just ONE class. Hopefully things work out so I can graduate on time.
Today I went to Alta Plaza Park for my friend Kim's going away get together. His work visa is up and he is getting shipped back to London and who knows when he is going to be coming back to the States, but he said he will try his best to come back, even if he has to get married to come back :) There was a lot of homemade food, treats, snacks, drinks, and games. I've never been to that park in particular, but it is by far the best park I've ever been to, even the bathroom was REALLY CLEAN!!
Now, I need to get some homework done so I can relax and watch basketball.

Midterms!
It's been a while since I updated, so here I am!
These past weeks have been very exhausting. I'm taking 15 units (one more class than the usual 12 units, 4 classes) and it has been a PAIN trying to keep up with the reading and papers. It is totally possible to keep up, but just so draining. At times I'm glad I don't have a job because on my days off from school I can just read all day. But no job means no money to explore the city's flavor of food and treats. Luckily, I've been keeping track of lots of free stuff to do in the city. A few weeks ago, Nick surprised me with free tickets to the Tut museum! I was so excited! He had to wait in a LONG line at 8am in the morning! What a champ! He got 4 tickets so we invited out friends Hali and Adrian to come along.
So about a few days ago Nick and I were having a conversation about San Francisco, school and such. We both agree it was a fun idea and we are having a lot of fun exploring the city. And we both agree that we are somewhat disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I love being here in such a free city, but things are really going the way we wanted them to go. Making friends is somewhat difficult since I'm a transfer student. Everyone met everyone they know by living in the dorms on campus. I guess I missed out on that, you know, living with a complete stranger that just so happens to turn into a lifetime friend. I meet people everyday, I know my classmates and they are all really nice people but the quality of those friendships are not where I want them to be. It's somewhat disheartening.
To make matter worse, my anxiety is coming back, HARD. I had my first panic attack since being off my medication and I think I really need to get back on it and stay on it for a while. It was just one of those "I can't breathe" episodes during the night. Scary, but that's how it goes. I find it so weird that even though I know having a panic attack i'm going to feel like I can't breathe, I just can't shake myself out of it until it stops by itself.
On a lighter note, I'm coming home soon! March 26th to be exact, right after my last class around 2! I'm excited to be back home and I want to hit up the beach, I'm starting to look like a vampire (as I always look). Maybe, maaaaaybe think about tanning. I definitely want to go jogging though, maybe my mom and I can start walking in the park in the mornings.
i miss you everyone! :(
Time to hit the books,

Valentines Weekend
This weekend was action packed! First, Pat turned 21, so some friends from Mission Viejo came up to celebrate. We ate at a tapas restaurant and ordered Sangria, which was by far the best I've had (i've only tried it once before :] ) Nicole, Hollyn, and I shared a few plates of tapas and the boys got their own dish. The next day, We went to visit the Jejune Institute...It was amazing, similar to a scavenger hunt through out the city. We didn't get to finish the first mission, but we will soon. The next step is to ask for the good doctor.
That same night, our friend Simone turned 21 and we met up at a bar called Zestiest, pretty cool place. In the morning we went to brunch for Simone's first breakfast meal, I got potatoes with Nick, and order bottomless Mimosas. Yummmy! Nick and I went out to sushi for Valentines day then met up with Jon, Nicole, Ryan, and Julia for the Valentine's Pillow Fight in Embarcadero! It was amazing up to the point where my phone, ID, and bus pass was stolen from my backpack. I wanted to cry. But other than that, I had a great weekend with friends.
I just finished a paper for English and I am exausted!!! Time for a nap.

stress and storm
So far this semester has been a real roller coaster. First, I'm taking 15 units, 3 more units than the usual 12 units, which means, one more class than usual. I have so much reading to do everyday.
Second, the intership I'm working with is causing me a lot of worry. The main focus of the MODEL program is to pair each child with a Mentor and homework help. I intern on Tuesdays and Thursdays and getting the children to focus is very difficult. Most of the time I find myself sitting next to the child monitoring their homework which holds me back from going around and checking homework for everyone. Most of the kids don't have any motivation which is really sad since they are only in grade school. I even found out that a kid is going to be held back from the 4th grade.
Third, I still can't find a job anywhere. It's really demoralizing. I've applied to clothing stores, grocery stores, fast food restaurants, hotels, nanny jobs, sales jobs, spa jobs, pet stores, post offices, Personal Assistant jobs, even being an egg donor!! Sometimes I get so unhappy about it, I start to question my abilities. I just want to start saving money. It's so hard to hear that friends are doing this, or going there for the weekend and I can't do anything because I have no income.
Fourth, I've been feeling really empty lately. I still cannot fathom that Eunice is gone. I just can't wrap my mind around the idea. Sometimes I try not to think about it, and some days I can't stop thinking about it. Her birthday is coming up and it's going to be really hard for a lot of people that were close to her. Being hollow is such a unpleasant feeling.

best friends
This last weekend a group of my friends came to san francisco to visit. They stayed at a hotel around fisherman's wharf which is quite the distance from my apartment. We went to some bars, saw some attractions and just enjoyed being in the company of each other. I'm sure i'll have pics of soon.
i haven't been with my best friend in a long while and it feel really good to have her back in my life after such a long absence. i don't want to have to lose someone so close to my heart again.
