Long productive COLLEGE day.

Today was a super long day.

I woke up at.... oh man.. I just sat back to remember back to this morning and it felt like a very distant memory.
I went to class this morning, then came back to my dorm and did some homework (and online shopping), then I had to get ready and PREPARED for the interview I had to conduct with a professor for a class piece.
After the interview, that went very well (it was with a teacher I had last semester who I really really liked), I had about an hour to do more research for another class.. change.. pack food.. and head off to work! 6-CLOSE! oy..

Work went by surprisingly fast. I worked registers but MAN did my feet hurt by the end of my shift.

Now here's the part where one would think that would be the end of my day, right? WRONG.
Once I got off work, around 10:30, I had to head over to work on a group project for my improv class. At this point my brain was having trouble contributing to this group effort.. but I wasn't alone in this. My other group mates were feeling about the same way, but of course because of our crazy lives this was the only time we could ALL meet. So we worked on our project, got it mostly figured out.. by around midnight..

So now here I am.. doing, yet some more last minute research and getting ready to slumber. Thank goodness tomorrow will be a little less insane.. but only a little. Such is the life of a college kid.

Disney Movie Love.

It's become a new thing with my family that whenever I come home for a visit we watch a Disney movie.. or two.. or three..

I grew up watching Disney movies. One of my all time favorite movies is "The Little Mermaid." I have always been a Disney freak and Disneyland is my favorite place in the world.

Tonight we watched "101 Dalmations"! I love how when you watch a movie once your older the humor is completely different then from when you were a little kid. These movies are hilarious! Before that we watched "Peter Pan" and the last time I was home we watched "Beauty and the Beast" and the "Jungle Book".. it was brilliant!

I love that my family and I can sit around and watch Disney movies like it's deserving of an Oscar.. it's so much fun and it always makes me feel better.

Home.

There is nothing like home.

This weekend I was able to go home.. and let me tell you.. I NEEDED IT.

Since getting here yesterday night, I've had a home cooked mommy meal, with the entire family present. T.V. time. Time to make yummy desserts with my mom (key lime pie and a grasshopper pie type thing). An amazing night of sleep in my OWN bed. A mani/pedi sesh with my mom. AND a delicious St. Patrick's Day dinner with my family and grandparents. It has been exactly what I needed.

Since moving I have come to love Salinas/Monterey in a way I never thought I would. Don't get me wrong I've always loved it... but now.. it means so much more to me. I literally rolled down all the windows in my car and was cheering when I was driving down the beautiful sunny street to my house.

I cannot wait to be home for Spring Break.. in about 2 weeks... then home for the summer in less than 2 weeks!! Home is where my heart is.

This new thing...

When I was younger I always kept journals. Written journals where I would keep track of my day-to-day life.. Literally! I can read these journals back and crack up, I can tell exactly how my little 8th grade self was dealing with life. Drama drama drama. As time past the journals ended.. for whatever reason I stopped. Now I am a college student... living the crazy life of classes, sorority events, working, and trying to get through each day without having a melt down. Thank goodness for my best friend who is 40 minutes away... some people think that's really far... but I think it's not far at all to travel to get to reach my sanity.

It was this best friend of mine, a fellow journalist who's abilities far surpass mine, who got me interested in blogging. I saw her using it as an outlet to write about whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. It's a fun way to let out and write about whatever is going on. Like an online journal! Gee what a concept.

So I've decided to start one... who knows what will come of it.. or what insane things I'll post on here depending on whatever crazy things are going on in my life. But I want to try. Here's to my free therapy.
