School time again

Yes it is that time again. Time for school. Honestly it happened way too fast. I don't know where the summer went, especially since everything I did was big and didn't have much to do with a lot of people so much as a select few. Don't get me wrong, I loved everything I did this summer, but I really hope that next year I can do more with more people. :) 

So now that I am back in school I have also commenced with the hunting of job-ness aka: I am still looking for a job. But. <-- Yes, I know it's bad grammar; I have turned in almost 8 different job applications. Hopefully I manage to get something so that next semester I can actually pay for my books instead of having my parents pay for them. It was especially hard this year, because unlike any other year I've been in school, we didn't qualify for the financial aid. It was really a sucker to everything we had planned. =[ But I did make it into four classes. 1. Micro economics, of which I'm fairly confident will be my least favorite class. 2. World civilizations to 1600, not the most entertaining class but super easy - even without a book. 3. Intro to Biology, a super fun and easy class that is also a lot of work but certainly worth it. 4. Swim fitness lab. Need I say more? Lol I don't really think so. But I was so terribly sad because to take my Biology class I couldn't take choir!!!!!! What travesty! What horror! What unbearable agony! Especially for me! The only reason, and I hate to say it, that it was a relief I couldn't take choir this semester is because of my most favorite, affable tenor. And no, it isn't Phil, it's Ryan. I would say he is the least like of all choir members, and by more than just people in choir. Sorry Dr. Lucas!!! 
And on top of all of this Eric has moved out of his parents house and is now renting a room from my friend Crystal. So far it's worked out pretty well I think, except for his choice in pet. He wants snakes and Crystal is uncomfortable with the thought of them in the house, though she has warmed up to my baby pretty well. My baby's name is Jezebel, and she is a ball python normal girl, only a few weeks old and not even two feet! But I think she's pretty cute. She won't bite me, though I think that might change once we feed her. For now, Eric is taking care of her at Crystal's, then when he get's his ball python Lesser male I will be taking her home. I'm excited at having a new pet and she is less maintenance than my adorable kitty but almost as much fun. So yes, I believe that is all, besides that my birthday is now 12 days away =] and I really want to go to Borders in San Luis so that I can snag major deals on the awesome Kelley Armstrong series! Well I hope at least! Thanks for reading lovlies!

Over a month!

              Wow so much has happened this last month that I had to write it all down before I posted this time! Let’s see,  my friend graduated from the junior college in June and will be moving into her apartment so she can attend UCSB and I am so excited for her! On top of that I’ve registered for all of the classes that I could this semester which include World Civilizations to 1600, Swim Fitness Lab, Macro Economics, and Intro to Biology. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but I am only one credit away from being a full time student this semester and I also plan on finding work (I really mean it this time, to the best of my ability) so I won’t have much time to really read or blog or even play on Facebook. But that works out find because I know I need to get my butt in gear about school, even if I can’t stand half of the English department…sigh.

                Let me go into July and everything that happened there. Hmmm the second full week (July 10) I started a trip with Eric and had a blast. Some of my most recent pictures on Facebook were from that trip. We borrowed my mom’s car and drove up to Vallejo which is on the east side of the San Francisco Bay (yes the loveliest part of The Bay…) to the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. I had so much fun walking around the park with Eric and seeing the butterflies, the big cats, all of the other animals and finally at the end of the day watching Shouka, the parks resident orca, in her final show of the day in the splash zone!

The day after we visited the park we went whale watching in Monterey Bay and saw so many wonderful things. We saw more Blue Whales than most tours see all season I think and we saw three different pods of Dolphins that most people travel the world to see, and these three pods conveniently like to swim together. They were also chasing a Blue Whale, which our naturalist guide said was highly uncommon to see. We also saw a good deal of Humpback Whales and Jellies (Jellyfish). I also had a good time watching a shy Sea Otter eating a clam. ^^ When we were done with the whale watching we drove up to go camping in Big Sur at a campground called Botchers Gap (cool name huh?) and ended up getting “rained” on because we were under a tree with low branches that caught the moisture in the fog and let it drip onto our tent. Needless to say it was an interesting and eventful trip that I enjoyed. While Eric and I were on our trip, my mom, dad, and brother, along with our only kitty went to Yosemite. I know all the people enjoyed the trip but I heard that the cat was fit to be tied about this whole moving vehicle stuff. Because that is just so wrong lol, at least in my cat’s opinion. ;) My mom has videos of her on Facebook.

So we all got back the same day and everyone, my family and Eric included, had one day to turn around and pack again. Eric won a bonus to go to Sea World at work and my family was going on vacation to Scottsdale, Arizona. While Eric got to leave at nine o’clock in the morning we left at four with me driving from our house through L.A. and into the desert communities in Southeastern California. We stopped at a Denny’s for some breakfast and kept moving on, my dad driving the rest of the way into Arizona with one stop for gas then finally arriving at the resort. We spent a fun but hot week in the desert sun swimming, (I got a nice tan!) relaxing, and doing some sightseeing. The last full day we were in Arizona we went to the Phoenix zoo and saw all of the animals asleep in their habitats because it was so hot. We also went to a saloon in a ghost town for lunch and got to walk through it. Just before we left the ghost town we saw some lightening and heard thunder so I sort of got to experience the awesome thunderstorms that photographers love about Arizona =]. But I also got some sad news from one of my best friends, Crystal who we had invited to go with us but had ended up not having the money to come. While my family was in Arizona Crystal’s grandma had a stroke and had to be taken to the hospital, and if Crystal had come with us I would have felt so terrible that she wasn’t there for her. After I got back from AZ her grandma passed away. A few days after her family had left town I went and spent the night with her to keep her company and I got to help her have a good time, at least I’m pretty sure I did.  R.I.P. sweet grandma Wilma, even though I didn’t know her as long as some of Crystal’s friends I still loved her, too.

On top of all of this my grandma (on my dad’s side) was emailing back and forth with my parents about her car. At the end of the next week when my mom’s side of the family was going to have the Campos Family Reunion, it was decided that we would stop by after and pick up my grandma’s car that she wouldn’t be needing anymore, and we got it for no extra cost. I haven’t driven it yet but I rode up in it with my mom and I must say it is a motivating factor for me to get my school on track. I also need a job so that I can pay for gas and insurance on the car my mom had been driving until I leave for school elsewhere, in which I will get our newest to the family car. For now though, I will be driving around the Oldsmobile and my mom will have the Sonata. Wow, I think I covered everything I wanted to cover about my life, now about Eric’s life? Hmmm, well maybe not lol. It’s too complicated and there would have to be a whole other blog for everything that goes on in his family’s life. In his mom’s words: “It’s like a friggin’ soap opera!”.  So until next time my lovelies!

Almost a month again!

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've posted anything! I guess I must have been really busy, which means that this should definitely be a long post. We shall see, especially since I'm not sure how much longer I can stay awake.

So. To start off, I've got another year of college under my belt though I do believe all the units I've taken and how I've spent these past two years only amount to almost a year of full term student-ness. Eek I need to really get myself together. Anyway, finals weren't as hard as I made them seem and as usual I over stressed and felt like a complete idiot doing it. Thankfully a rather qualified individual was there through it all with me, dealing with his own stress and problems no doubt. What a great man he will be, if ever anyone dares call him a man anytime soon. (I <3 Eric!) After finals wasn't too crazy though I still have yet to check the Hancock website to see if they have a complete list of classes for the fall.

In other wonderful news Eric and I have been going together for seven months and seven days now. Yes I did just look at my calendar to tell you the semi-exact date/timeline. Lol I don't care how dorky you think I am right now, I promise you, it gets better. =p not only have we been together that long, I have a vase full of a variety of roses (not breeds of actual living roses, a collection of different materials you can use to make roses) sitting on my nightstand and I have a new idea for some really awesome ink. I also have been working on my own little projects to give to Eric in return for all the roses he keeps giving me. =] Granted it doesn't really do anything useful, but sentiment means the world to a lot of people, including me.

I also have been trying to not stay up too late, not only because of the sever trauma it can cause to the...blah blah blah. Yes staying up late is bad if you do it all the time lol, but I normally don't and I now have a new fear of the time 3 AM. Yes that's right lovelies, I have demon phobia. Thanks to a dear lovely Crystal and a movie night of awesome that scared the bejesus outta me I am damn near petrified of staying up and awake around three in the morning or later unless I wake up after four...and if you haven't guessed it yet you haven't seen the movie. It's a good movie, it just really made me over thing just about everything and scared me sh*tless for reasons that most people wouldn't understand or wouldn't care to try to understand. And Crystal, I'm not knocking you at all in your choice of movies! I am just a frail, terrified, and in my opinion, too easily influenced girl that takes things in extreme ways. ~>.<~ For those totally and thoroughly confused the movie we watched together was The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Though not as terrifying graphically as The Exorcist, it makes you think just as hard if not harder about what you will believe in and what leads you to any decisions you make in your life. It also makes you think about the politics behind religion and what the word faith means when attributed to it and it is an all in all very good movie, but if you are borderline anything or are extremely fearful of the unknown/paranormal you should probably rent a Disney movie instead.

And that is pretty much what has happened with me and my life for the last month. Preview of next month unless a disaster worthy of my blog hits is that Eric and I will be taking a trip to Vallejo to the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in July. And there will be feeding of the dolphins! Yay! I'm really excited for this trip and I love that it's like going to Magic Mountain AND Sea World at the same time. So until then or a major life crisis arises according to me, I will be floating around in cyberspace lovelies!

Finals

What's the purpose of them again? Is it really to see how much we learned or to put us through seven different kinds of hell? Anyway it's finals week and I am not looking forward to it. Spent an hour studying for my first final and I still need to work on my project for the same class. Sure to be lots of fun! [Not] I can't say that I'm exactly excited about it, but I am excited about the after...you know the whole summer bit. =] That I can be excited about.
I can be especially excited because I'm planning on volunteering at the animal shelter so I can work with the kitties! And my family is taking a trip to Arizona and that means that I can go to the pet stores and go see the ferrets, and that makes me excited too! I just have to get past finals... >.<

Good News!

Well it's good news if you are me at least.  I now have my license and am free to roam the town whenever I please so long as I put gas in the tank. ;) This makes me really happy.  Of course I'm also working on a paper for one of my classes right now and I'm not really being very focused so I guess I should let myself go and get to work, eh?  Well then, until I see you next =]

I so despise with uttmost passion...

Being short.  Today I went for my driving test in Lompoc.  I figured, different city, I'll be super careful and drive extremely well.  I didn't even make it out of the parking lot without failing because a damn tree blocked my view and convinced me that there wasn't anything coming from the right so I could turn left safely.  No.  There was a truck that had to slow down for me because I didn't see it..and what does the witch say? Keep driving...turn..turn..drive. Park.  You didn't pass. Was this your first test? 


!@#$%^&*()_+?><:"{}~!!!!!!!!!!!! I told her before we even left the car port I had never taken a driving test before.  She must have been on her period or something because when she went through the whole "Hi, how are you?" business she wasn't even trying to sound like she had had a good day.  Seriously? Just tell me right out "I'm probably going to fail you, even if you were the illegitimate daughter of Jesus..." Honestly.  >:[  Witch.

Blog My Heart Out

Yet again I am on the blogosphere to tell you all of my problems, worries, issues, and happinesses (yes I do realize that is not a word but I am still going to use it!), and anything else that I find amusing or worth putting up. =]
So before I forget all about my Spring Break that is dwindling away rather quickly, I'll tell you everything I've done thus far.

Sunday after church my family drove down to Buena Park and went to a dinner theater which was very cool. It was pirate themed and the special effects and actors were wonderful. If you've ever been to one and enjoyed it then you know exactly what I mean. On Monday we went into Knotts Berry Farm, and we happened to be right across the street from the theme park! Granted it was in a Super 8 motel, but it was right across the street and way cheaper than the Knott's resort. My Uncle also cam down from Orange county to spend the day with us all at the park and it was really awesome. We went out to eat at Mrs. Knotts Chicken Dinner Restaurant and it was delicious! I got a chicken pot pie that I couldn't finish but I took it home and enjoyed it. ;) Tuesday we drove home and I got to spend the rest of the day with Eric, and then his family for dinner. All in all it was a pretty good beginning to a Spring Break. Anyway I will be working on some projects for school the rest of the week so for now, I'm resting up so I can [hopefully] concentrate on what I'm supposed to be doing instead of getting distracted by my cat or a movie or something lol..yes. 
So happy reading and Spring Break to you all and I hope this didn't bore you to death. Until we meet again dear friends!
