11:21 pm	an update! :) Spring 2007 semester is so over! I unofficially graduated from the University of Texas. Over the summer I have to complete my second language requirement (and then I will be really done), but I will be taking the classes in Dallas at my old school. No more classes at UT, which is a good thing because UT is too much freakin’ work. lol. But I think I made most of my experience at UT a stressed out experience because in the past year I have taken 56 college credits. Silly me. My next big challenge is the LSAT. I plan to take it this fall, and depending on my score decide where to apply for next year. Over the past year I have changed a bit when it comes to academics, and I really don’t care too much to get into a top law school. I am going to put 100% into my applications but I’m not going to stress about it. Come whatever. For me school is a safe place. I know how to be a student. Law school will be a different beast than undergrad but it’s still in the same realm. I need some new challenges/goals in my life, I don’t want the next few years of my life to be JUST about law school. For the past few years I feel like I have reduced who I am as a person to just a student, and my life have become a bore. I need to get out of this box I am in. I fear waking up and doing the same thing I did yesterday. There are too many things to see, to learn, to experience, to become, to discover...to be in the same place I was yesterday. I need to explore my life some, because currently it is all just a bit too boring. (1 x $0.02 | give $0.02)

12:28 am	November For some reason I have the urge to update, after a few months of silence. Things have been the usual, though. School, school, and more school. The good news is that I registered for spring classes week before last and perhaps that will be the last time I register for undergrad classes...if things go to plan I'll graduate next year. I am going to take a year off before law school. Nonetheless, I got to get my plans for law school figured out soon, been thinking about trying to get into NYU. Since the semester started I've only been back home to Dallas one time. I miss my family, but the good thing is that I get to see them during Thanksgiving break and then winter break is almost here! Well, that's all. Hope everyone have a good Thanksgiving. Current Mood: calm (6 x $0.02 | give $0.02)

12:50 pm	An update I haven’t made an entry since the 4th of July. Been busy mainly with school, and also I’ve been cheating on LJ with myspace. Haha. I’ve been on LJ for over 4 years and only have 17 friends, for me a manageable amount to keep up with, and I read all of you guys DAILY even though I barely post now days. Earlier this month I turned 25. For some reason, turning 25 is a big deal. I’m getting old. In the past few months I think I’ve learned not to underestimate the power of me, there may be a few break downs along the way, but I remain driven. With work I took a leap of faith and took a leave of absence in July in order to focus on school. In July I also had my 4 year work anniversary at Wal-Mart, I’m amazed at myself for sticking to it for so long. Currently it’s sort of weird not going into work. I go back in late December, which I’m sure will be way too soon. With school I had set a goal of 23 credits over the summer but fail short because I let a ball slip and failed to sign up for a class I had planned to take. The EASIEST class I took was Nutrition (I stopped going at the end), and the most valuable class I took was Sociology Deviance even though I barely made an A. I am a sociology major and I learned some useful things in the class. For most of July and part of August I was in Austin instead of Dallas. Unfortunately fall semester starts next week so I’ll be heading back to Austin this upcoming week. Blah. I hope everyone is doing well! :) (1 x $0.02 | give $0.02)

8:08 pm	Are you a nurse? Like a month or so ago I washed my cell phone. I didn’t have insurance on it, and I’m having issues with spending $200 for another one. Crazy me. I am sort of going into withdrawal, though - will have to figure out how to get another cell phone without paying a fortune for it. Talk my mom, sister, someone into buying me one. “Are you a nurse? Because if I was sick I would want you to take care of me.” This guy recently used that one on me. When guys use pick up lines, I think it is SO FUNNY. I just want to laugh in their face, but then that would be rude. My friend Lex tells me I am way too nice to guys I am not interested in. She tells me I should just be like, “no, NO. No, no way. It ain’t happening.” My nutrition class is going well. I probably won’t be going back until the final next Thursday. I am learning flip in the class, but who cares as long as I get my A. More importantly, I met two wonderful people in the class. This one girl goes to UT, and next semester she’ll be living less than a mile from me. And this other lady, she’s just cool. India.Arie new album came out Tuesday. I really like the song “I am not my hair.” I am more impressed with India.Arie’s new album than I am with Nelly Furtado’s album that came out a couple weeks ago. I am also currently digging The Wreckers, enough pop in the country for me to handle. Speaking of hair, I got a hair cut today. I have bangs! I showed the lady a picture of the rapper/actress Eve. I think it turned out well. A few people on my friend’s list have recently mentioned myspace.com. I’ve had a profile for a while, but I’m rarely on it, but if you are on myspace.com and wish to add me as a friend my url is myspace.com/diaryofagirl My last day of work before my leave of absence is on the 9th. I am so excited about that. I won’t be back until late December. Awesome stuff there. Hope everyone is doing well. Later. Current Mood: tired (1 x $0.02 | give $0.02)

11:35 pm	Heartbreak in Dallas The Dallas Mavericks failed to force a game 7 in the NBA finals. They lost 4 straight! What kind of stuff is that? Just terrible. Nonetheless, I'll still wear my Mavericks t-shirt. They are a good team. Congratulations to the Miami Heat! Current Mood: disappointed (give $0.02)

8:13 pm	oh say can you C Haven’t posted in a while. Can’t believe it is June! I got my grades back from last semester, and the only “oh my freakin’ goodness!” was the C in Sociological Theory course. I’ve already made peace within myself about it, though. I am quite shocked at myself for not being too upset about it. Maybe I should be outright outraged at myself since I plan to go to law school, but I’m not too upset about it. It’s like, “OK, whatever.” Things have changed with my summer school plans. In July/August I am going to take two classes at UT instead of community college, an online computer class, and part two of the online biology class I am currently taking. I took out the Spanish courses I had signed up for, and plan to learn Spanish on my own. This is all really funny, but I plan to try! I’ll see how it goes. So far I’ve already taken Ethics at community college in May, and currently I am taking Principles of Nutrition. I’ve been thinking about my work situation. Starting in July I plan to take a leave of absence and return in December. Aside from that, I’ve been thinking how in July I’ll have my 4 year work anniversary. The last 6 months have been the most difficult at work, because since I transferred to a different store location I’ve been dealing with customers that are flat out abusive, idiots, and in need of some serious help!!! Like, I’ve been accused of stealing by a customer (and not apologized to after the situation was rectified), told to basically shut up and that I didn’t know what I was talking about, and the idiotic behavior goes on and on. They don’t get my blood pressure up, though; I just give them customer service and think in my mind how pathetic they are. And I am using the term “pathetic” in the sincerest sense. Sad. Anyway, the only reason I stay is because of the flexible hours. Last month I saw Gavin Degraw with Lex at this place called Gillys. He didn’t do many covers or new music, but the show was still good. I think Lex enjoyed herself. I saw one person I sort of knew, and I have a feeling if I go to another Gavin Degraw concert that I’ll see her again. It was a “I didn’t know you were a Gavin Degraw fan!” kind of thing. Had a little family drama last month, as well. One of my sisters put herself in the ER, and in an induced coma for 3 days. She had an accident while smoking whatever she smokes; she swallowed part of the pipe and burned her throat (insides). She was in the ICU for 5 days, but no lesson was learned because when she got out she was back out in the streets doing the same old things. The things that are more important to her than her 3 kids. She refuses rehab, and we can’t force her to go. She stresses my mom out so much. Anyhow, even though I am busy working and with school I am enjoying being in Dallas. Next semester I won’t be in Dallas much at all, so I am really trying to enjoy the time that I do have before I go to Austin in July.
