school is such a fun-sucker
>>
interesting fact: first day of school, and i fell up the stairs.
>>
right, so today my dear old dad walked into my room at 6:17 in the morning and told me to get up because i had school. since i'm not the kind of girl who says, "five more minutes...", i got up right away to hear my phone vibrating. i thought it was my alarm because i use my phone as an alarm sometimes...but no. it was my wonderful cousin christine texting me and telling me to have a good day at school today. well...then i gargled and got ready and blah blah blah. we got on the freeway, and i was just wondering to myself about WHY i had to wake up so freakin early in the morning, but whatever. it's interesting because last year, sometimes i would see this van of nuns passing by...and guess what? i saw them this morning on the freeway at the same place where i always see them. well...i got to school and got all my caca ready. i said hello to my old friends and acquaintances. i was all smiles this morning for some reason. i don't know why...i had to shit like a monkey and i had a fatass headache from waking up so early. i guess i was just happy to see everyone again. it was really funny how i had to take a crap this morning. mae said i should have done it on freshman floor just so their bathroom could stink. but oh well...i have to admit it's a funny concept...but i don't know. you can't exactly rush those things, you know? well..then i had homeroom and the assembly and spanish and break and geometry and religion and world history and free and bio and english. yeah...pretty slammin...i guess i like my classes this year. yeah..after school, i put my stuff in the chorus classroom and ran off with heather into the wilderness of downtown on our trek to eat because i didn't eat lunch. well..we went to hydration. (my compliments to taryn.) i had a milk tea. mann...heather and i were HELLA HELLA HELLA laughing on the way there. yeah...when we came back, i realized i was twenty minutes late for chorus--which is crazy because there's like, what? ten people in the class? and only six went--including me even though i was hella late ass. well...oh yeah...i fell UP the stairs while i was saying hi to tatyana..is that how she spells her name? i don't know. oh well. oh man...HELLA FUNNY, i swear. i was like, "hey taty--" (trips on steps, falls on ass). i was all, "OMG THAT WAS SO FUN! I WANNA DO IT AGAIN!" i hella played it off...haha if i saw me falling up the stairs i'd hella crack up. oh well...haha. yeah...today was fun hmm..smell ya later!

do you see the sorrow school brings us?!
>>
no, just kidding.
>>
yesterday, my cousin--and one of my best friends--moved into her new college apartment. to tell you the truth, it was more or less funny than emotional. i cried a little, though i tried to hide it by telling my other cousin that my eyes were hurting. we were late, but it was okay. i arranged her stuff. i hope she didn't mind that. after all, it was HER apartment and HER college life, she could have wanted to arrange her stuff in her own way. oh man...my manang vanessa...it's been eighteen long years and now she's an adult. it's funny how the absence of one person can change the whole atmosphere of our parties and random get togethers. you know what else is funny? she's only living forty-five minutes away from us in san francisco. like i've said before, this summer went by too fast. i hate that it's practically over. it was one of the best summers of my life. well, i hope college life treats her well. i hope she doesn't cry at night because she misses making grilled cheese sandwiches for us at two o'clock in the morning. i hope God guides her in all her endeavors. i just hope she's alright. but what am i hoping for? i KNOW she'll do fine. she's always been independent like that anyway--taking care of all of us and what not. well enough of this emotional caca that i didn't get out of the way yesterday.

i'm getting my permit soon! YEAH BABY!!!

school starts in two days. i'm excited, and yet, i really wish this summer wouldn't end. i've had so many memories. like on the last day of school after finals, chelsea and i walked around downtown and realized there were a lot more restaurants than the ones we've been eating at. and yelling at tirza from across the street. then drivers ed and how all the guys came in wearing pink. and how the lady was biking around in swerves with all this white stuff around her mouth and waving weed in the air. and janet's birthday party which was SO TOTALLY FUN. it was like...FUN. oh and july 4th with all my cousins in townsend park and drving around and clapping when my cousin was able to park correctly. then my week spent in vacaville where i was this major grouchy mcgrouch and my cousins made fun of me. and those frozen strawberries that were yummy. and taking care of my crazy cousin jig. and going out. and playing life. and all that. then hanging out at great america with janet, michael, ryan, brit, justine, chels, and justine's cousin kim. then hanging out at great america with my cousins so many times. then family fun day, which doesn't look so bad now that i realize the summer's gone. then hanging out at great america again one last time with my friends before the end of summer. oh man...now my cousin moving away to college. IT'S JUST GOING TO KEEP GOING BY QUICKLY LIKE THAT UNTIL I'M DEAD! life goes by all too quickly...man...i think i'm going to get emotional now.
