| the past two weeks have been interesting. so much has happened...to the people around me and myself. good times and bad times...joy and sadness...stress and relaxation...and a great deal of changes to go around. there's a whole lot of random thoughts going on in my mind right now so i'll do my best to make sense of it.
first off...i finally broke my streak of going to disneyland at least once a week for the past 4 weeks...which began with jen and me going on a double date with fred and maddie and ending with pat, christian, mike, charlene, brother bear, and me going to california adventure last saturday. there's definitely something about going to disneyland that eases my mind and brings about a sense of elation, relief, and peace that i can only find at the happiest place on earth.
christian, matt whitmore, nick, and i played the best game of cranium ever against sergio, cam, danny, and josh. our teams both had great chemistry with our respective teamates and only messed up only one time each. we made the comeback of a lifetime...winning over them when they had 3 turbo cranium cards already and we were still 3 spaces away from the center. it was an amazing experience which was also the fastest game of cranium i've ever played. aside from cranium...i have a newfound love for scrabble. i knew what scrabble was and i've had the game for years but never played it at all. i was a fool because i now realize just how awesome of a game it is. on more a more serious note...school is so damn stressful. my health science and english 1b class are killing me softly. i'm not doing so hot in those classes and i need to get good grades in them if i want to secure my future at mt. saint mary's next year. next semester is not going to be fun because i've got microbiology and physiology to overcome at the same time. i will definitely be transfering to another junior college after this semester for sure...chaffey has done all it can for me. it's been a turbulent 5 semesters that's provided me with much success and failure...and i feel it's time to move on. my choices are either fullerton or citrus. at fullerton...i'll be going to school with more friends and my opportunites in life will increase. at citrus...i'll still be able to maintain the peace and independence i have at chaffey while having a better chance at the getting the classes i need. it's a hard choice but when the time comes to decide...i'll know i made the right choice. relationships are falling apart. it's always a surprise and never pleasant to see such beautiful things come to an end. it's hard to see people part ways especially if they have lasted so long together. i don't have to give advice like i'm dr. phil or something and i'm no counselor so it's not my role to talk them through it and tell them what to do. all i need to do is be a friend and be there for them. all i need to do is pray and show them love. that's all. the night of october 19 will always have a special place in my life. rachel, austin, fred, and i spent about five hours together eating at albertos with marc, ray, sylvie, and christian, talking in austin's car, getting hot cocoa at denny's, stargazing and catching shooting stars at st. paul's parking lot, and singing songs while austin plays his guitar. there's so much i can say but i'll only spare a few thoughts on this night. i was doing what i love with people i love and it was just another reminder that the heart of life is damn good. it's hard to believe but i am now employed. i work in customer service at best buy...and i love it. the people are chill, the work is chill, the pay is chill, the environment is chill...the whole vibe is just chill. i may only be seasonal but i hope people will see my hard work and effort and keep me on board after the season ends. the confirmation season has finally and officially begun. the first confirmation retreat is this weekend. i've got a long week ahead of me beforehand but all i need to do is make it to thursday afternoon and i'll be alright. i don't quite know everything that will go on this weekend but i'll just go with it and take it from there. i already told rachel and austin but i will state it here that this weekend will be one of the best weekends of our lives...i can feel it and i believe in it. the past two weeks have shown me what every other week has...life is beautiful. life is full of stress, pain, suffering, sin, sadness, and negativity...but it is still wonderful through it all. i've got an amazing family and the best friends ever. most of all...i love God and i will always live the faith, never lose hope, and continue loving even beyond my dying breath. and in the end...that is all what matters. |
