It's been a stressful week for me. Midterms, midterm papers, "boy" trouble, and another death in the family.
I had a midterm essay due today, well now, yesterday... but I didn't turn it in. That's a first for me. At least the teacher accepts late work- it just gets graded down 1/3 for each day late. So that just means if I have an A paper, I get an A-. Sooo.. I need to finish today. Although I highly doubt it's A material. I'm thinking of dropping my politics major now because I absolutely haaaaaaate reading, more than that, I abhor reading! Writing is fine.. but pages and pages and pages of crap that does not interest me.. argh.
As for the death in the family, my grandma's younger brother was diagnosed with cancer just this week, and today, my family and I found out that he passed away. My mom was crying a lot because she remembers the last time she saw him and said, "I don't know when I'm going to see you again" because that was when she was in the Philippines. Although I did not really know him, he is still family, and I hope he is resting in peace now with my Grandpa Fidel.
As for my boy trouble, it's over and done with now, and hopefully he learned his lesson.. just some people... grrr.
So after tonight, or more like this morning, I will not be stressed out because my goal is to finish this stupid stupid paper!!!

No more drought!
Wow, so I seriously haven't had a REAL update since my granda Fidel passed away.. so since I am in the computer lab at school, and I do not really want to prepare for Midterms, I finally have time! So since the viewing, this is what I have been up to:
-Grandpa Fidel's funeral and Novena nights. Although it was a time of mourning, it was great spending time with family I haven't seen in ages.
-Lots of working at Macy's, and not really Hollister. Getting paid every week is great from Macy's, especially when it's a double pay day (paid from both Hollister and Macy's)
-Milpitas parties: Jonathan's coworker's party and Wesley's party. I had lots of fun at both.
-Daylight Saving's time- I thought it would screw me over, but it didn't.
-Having 2 new additions to my family: my kittens Jungle and Blizzard. Lisa's cat had 4 kittens, so she gave me two. Jonathan, Leanna, my mom, and I have been having sooo much fun with these little bundles of joy, I absolutely LOVE them! and they sleep with me every night.. haha. Just a word of advice, please don't come up to me and say "Cats suck, dogs are better" because unless you've had BOTH for pets, I do not want to hear it, because I have had both cats and dogs as pets, and I love them equally the same!
-Going to a million different places to buy cat food, toys, collars, etc...
-First time filing taxes- even though I didn't do anything but give my papers to my mom while she took care of it all, this made me feel so old.
-Gene's party or better known as "UHM Quickstrike". I had major fun not only because my cousin paid for me to get in, but also because it was just fun partying with a lot of familiar faces! when's the next party???
-lots of shopping at Macy's.. we have sales like every freakin week.
-Warrior's game at Oakland arena.. warrior's won! Then a few folks came over and kicked it at my house.
-Hanging out with my cousins and Jonathan's cousins- ALWAYS a guaranteed great time!
-Acceptance into Psi Chi, the National Honor Society for Psychology here at UCSC!!! I'm a life time member.. holler!
-Writing my resignation letter to Hollister, but the day I was going to turn it in, I open up my paycheck, and I see a RAISE! holler!
-Strikes almost every day at UCSC for a week because of a million different things. I didn't participate in anyway.. I think because I do not care enough and I'm lazy.
-Neiman's get together.. then Jonathan picks a fight with me after because I messed up his "groove" haha.. long story.. but as always, we're all good.
-Amber and Ashley's 16th and 15th Birthday Party celebration where I saw more relatives and had lots of fun and lots of food to eat.
-The same day was Sam's Debut at Maggiano's.. great great great food and entertainment. My favorite was when my Jonathan was playing his guitar and Margaret singing, but mostly Jonathan playing =) and also the little girl doing tahitian! man she can really shake it!
-Staying up until 4am doing last minute midterm essay.
-More work, picking up Leanna from school, shopping, Jonathan time, etc...
The next few days consist of-
-Midterm essay due Friday
-Midterm exam on Friday
-payday!
-The OC!
-work
-San Francisco Zoo and maybe Jeremy's formal for XYZ
Until next time my faithful readers, au revoir! Sorry for a boring post, maybe next time it'll be more interesting.. and maybe pictures. If you're still bored, go to my myspace
