The Week

No realy blogs since the 11th. Gosh, how am I so busy with nothing? How am I suppose to record my life when I don't take the time to?

I don't remember everything that happend since then but I do recall visits and lots of old movies: Golddiggers of 1933, Footlight Parade, Annie Get Your Gun, and Breakfast at Tiffany's. I did watch a new movie, G.I. Joe, with Lance and Travor. Entertaining. The next night was BUNKO! How can an game with old ladies be so fun? Well, I actually didn't play with the old ladies. I brought Travor along and am glad he had fun with my friends. I also brought him along to mountain biking with Snow White and Tarzan. Can you say epic fail? It was like all uphill but still, it was fun.

This past week I feel like I've already done a lot of work. I've made the agenda for the next core team meeting (which I'm not sure Pat will use) and I've emailed all the club adviors about the Freshman Forum Fair. Crazy. On Monday we had an ASB Meeting and then I went to Giusti's office for the first time. It was even the first time I ever spoke to him. After the meeting I went bowling with Snow White, Travor, Amy, Michelle, and Kevin (Travor's friend). It was fun and yet I failed once again. I remember doing really good when I was younger. Sucks.

You know what else sucks? Not being able to go to the Uganda Benefit! Oh well, I'm going to Disneyland with the cousins instead! The happiest and most expensive place on earth.

Oh man, the military called me! They tried to recruit me into the army. I felt so bad for the guy. He was honestly trying and I felt like he was wasting his time with me. Dang, 10 minutes trying to get off the phone. "I'm not strong," was my excuse. Ha....

This week also included two Altar-serving training dates. Cheyenne and I had some laughs when I told her about Good Shepherd School questions, Vactican I Catholics, and the Vietnamese wife(?!).

The rest of my week awaits...

Camp Emmaus

IS TOMORROW!!!! yay! I'm so excited and am so ready for a faith high! Oh, and cute Catholic boys! ha, I'm so bad. I'm excited for that as well.
My aunt had (and is still having) a party with her friends so Travor and I decided to bike to Sarah's house. Again we went to the park and did made obstacle courses.

"Hey that slide has speed bumps!"

Oh, my brother.

Everyday I make a mental note to "blog that" but I always end up forgetting.

No Eyelashes for my Mug Shot

My senior picture was today and I couldn't have felt more beautiful! When I got back from the VA Victoria and Sarah were already at my house. Thanks to Vicki I had voluminous curls and dazzling eyes! I even felt sexy while sweaty and ridng a bike, lol! Oh, but I'm sooo pissed off that I forgot to curl my eyelashes and add mascara!!! Now I'll look like I don't have any. Oh well.
I will say it, they photographer was cute! Not only was he cute but he made me feel pretty! 1) He said "Oh, that's nice," regarding my top 2) He was cute 3)He was patient (which is very important cause I CANNOT pose) 4)He laughed when I did a funny face for my second "mug shot." That reminds me, 5) He made a joke about mug shots.

Ha, I am so weird!

After feeling like a star Vicki and Sarah were still over so when Cheyenne came over for our run (which was paused since the 3rd!) we just went to Vicki's since it was way too hot to run and was a way for me to hang out while I'm not really. Chey drove home and I had a chance to ride a bike! I rode half the way and felt really cool. Gosh, I'm SUCH a weirdo.

Success and Failure

"It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect." 2 Samuel 22:33

It's amazing how God's mind works, if you would even call it a mind. Although I was truly disappointed at the time, I think God's plan was for me not to be Key Club's Vice President but to be Core Team's. I am so incredibly happy! It's so nice when others say kind things to you, but even better when they feel you are worthy of something. I thank Him for aiding those who were helping me and I truly hope I can prove to the Core Team that their decision has been the right one, that my hardwork and dedication will mean something. I feel bad for others, whose disappointment I can see on their face, but I hope that this result will impact them, and myself, in a positive way. I have not yet told my parents in fear that they believe I'm too busy with schoolwork, but they have always thought this (example: sports, when I actually did better when I was in them). I am looking forward for this next year and what awaits the 2009-2010 Core Team!
After the four hour discernment, Sarah and I went biking. My brother, Travor, joined us after dinner and we rode towards Sarah's home; however, we decided to go Camino Ruiz park and spent our time failing at bike locks, analyzing the sections, and timing our obstacle course. We ended up loosing track of the time for it was eight o'clock in the evening when we headed back to Sarah's. Both my brother and I forgot our cell phones and it was getting dark when arrived there; thus, my brother and I are what I consider "bike grounded." We're not able to ride our bikes until August. This pretty much sucks since I was planning to bike tomorrow (technically today since it's 12:27) and Thursday. Oh well, I thought it was a fair punishment. What a day of both success and failure!

Workplace Worries

Ok, so technically I don't "work" at the VA but I do work. Gosh, just the five hours there today was crazy. So, I'm definitely not changing to another area because, well I've just been around HR so much. Although I worked in Human Resources last year I met so many people today. Including, for like the first time ever, someone who doesn't like me. I guess now they decide to notice?
First off today I had to come and hour early because Jennifer is still hurting from the removal of her wisdom teeth. Like Monday, today I was working with Shawn since Erika and Gina don't really have anything for me to do. The first hour he was busy so basically I just stood around. Then this one lady brings me in her office and I talk with the others in her room. While we were talking I found out she's the one who makes the crowns at the Harvestfest! Such a small world. I really enjoy being with the people in that room cause they're fun, mainly because they're some of the youngest people in HR. We even brought up Comic-con and Harry Potter! Strange yet so exciting. However, all this caused someone to like hate me!
I have never been, like hated so much, or at least not that I know of. This lady, I heard is crazy and annoying and does this to all the volunteers and work study. She looks like she's about to have a heart attack at any moment (not my observation) and freaks me out! She makes me tense up and all nervous that I'm going to get in trouble at any second! Oh, and I totally heard her talking about me. Shoot, she doesn't even know me. And I KNOW she talked about me at the HR meeting today (which I just stayed at Shawn's desk for a half an hours just sitting there) cause afterwards all the people I normally am with was like telling me all these new rules for volunteers, thus I met a whole bunch of people. I also have to wear more professional looking clothing. I don't mind any of this at all just that one lady bugs me. EHHHHhhh!!!!! I just will feel weird wearing professional work clothing like everyone else cause I'm so used to being casual, I like that it separates me from everyone else. Gosh, I've got a lot to tell Jennifer.
Also, today was the Fourth of July potluck luncheon for HR so I helped with that and got free food!
I don't know how all this sounds to everyone else but it was an experience for me.
Yesterday Cheyenne wasn't able to bike with me like I planned so I biked with Sarah. I biked to her house and then we went to Good Shepherd to turn in our Camp Emmaus forms, went to my house, ate dinner, and my brother came with us to ride her to her house. I love biking now. It's like new hobby. Oh, and I got a new helmet from Walmart. Hopefully I'll bike around more often!
