of all the times to be sick why now? and this is not the.. coughing, sore throat, runny nose kind...(maybe it'll come later) ..its the body achin, ear aching, head pain, and cold sweats kind.. i swear.. i can feel really hot one minute, and the next im shivering cuz its so cold.. EFFFF need to study for a test and finish 2 assignments by thurs/fri

graduation

on a happier note, I AM GRADUATING...forever!!!! so i THOUGHT that my prof was going to take me back after i graduate, but then he goes and tells me to continue to work until i grad and then the summer RA will take over...uhh..yeah.. so i'm pretty confused .. BUT anyway, i think ken will letme go away for 2 weeks nonetheless....

2 weeks you ask??

welllll i'm for sure going on a trip to either dominican, mexico, or cuba with mike and ryan....thats 100%.. we'd leave may 1st, and come back on the 8th... THEN...... if all goes well and my mom is able to change it, im gonna go on an alaskan cruise on the 10th :):) SOOOOO i'm desperately keeping my fingers crossed..... and you know, i really really wanted to go to europe...but i guess i gotta make sacrifices and i can't get everything i want... so i'm settlign for a trip to somewhere tropical, and then heading north east?? to alaska with my family :) .. two grad trips!!! yayy!!!!!

must not jinx this tho... :) oh man, alaska will be beautifullllll!!!! AAH okay.. i have to stop getting too excited..for now, must look forward to all the TANNING that will happen... YES.. cancer to my skin... COME TO ME!!!!! oh i'm too excited... i need this break... err not even a break cuz its not like i'm going BACK to school..i need these... celebatory trips!!!!:D:D i know my parents will probably spoilme too if i go on this cruise...(actually...maybe not hahaha) but still :) good bonding experience? keep your fingers crossed for meeeee...

new years resolutions?? don't really do that.. who actually follows them? but i guess if i had to choose, they'd be:

• eat healthier
• continue to be carefree, not worrying about what other people have to say about me behind my bad
• be a better person
• put the past in the past and live for the future
  
• find a job
• save money for grad trip

..anyway hopefully she'll stay strong and start off fresh for the new year! i think its not a matter of how many friends you have, but how those friends treat you and how they unconditionally care about you... i know i'll always be there for her :) it just sucks seeing her like this :(

everything always works itself out in the end.. keep your head up.
