Today thus far has consisted of;
* waking up at 7 and getting ready for my 8 o'clock class, and then looking at my schedule and realizing that it was infact a 10:30 class
*Doing a bit of hw and feeling very nervous because I have alot more hw to do and the hw that I'm doing seems to be going far to slowly
*Going to class, spilling my coffee and forgetting my book.
And now I am eating a delicious meal of stirfry and an apple.
Though aside from that many slip ups i'm feeling pretty good today!
The rest of the day is going to be spent studying and working out at some point. |

| When did my life get so boring? |

So, I've been looking back on my summer and wondering where the hell it went. And what did I even do with it?
I volunteered aloot. And I occasionally hung out with friends. I had good times but I feel like I didn't have enough of them. I had one date, that didn't go anywhere.
I guess I just was going into this summer thinking it was going to be the most epic summer ever, and it turned out to be one of the most boring. I suppose having no funding to go out and do stuff would contribute to that.
I miss HECUA, fun times with giggle table, and old roommates. And I highly doubt giggle table is even going to exist after the very prolonged drama.
I want to say that next semester is going to be better, but my work hours suck so I won't really have money to go out anyways.
When did my life get so boring?
On the other hand, I did learn alot this summer. |

Am kind of drunk so sorry if this doesn't make sense.
So, I got a call today from Josh at SS. HRP saying that he's taking a job as a social worker at a school. Which I understand totally since he's got a family too support.
But it just makes me so sad to see the beautiful SS. HRP breaking apart. The SS.HRP made me who I am. It help me find the truth that I wanted so badly to find outside of my own little world, helped me to find a path that I truly believe in. Helped me to find peace with my bleeding heart within this world that I live in. Josh has been my mentor and hero for the last year and I will deeply and greatly miss seeing his passion in his role at the SS. HRP. I will miss the passion and pure beauty that we the team of the SS. HRP created. And the incredible and amazingly positive work we did. I love it so much, it makes my heart and my soul feel so pure and amazing, everytime I go in to work with them and I'm going to miss all of it so much.
I haven't called him back yet because I was worried I might start crying. I probably will when his going away party comes. I will get the full story later
As I volunteered tonight with feed my starving children I found myself annoyed. Here were all these groups of people gathered around to save the poor in a country thousands of miles away, yet how many of people actually give a shit about the poor in our own country? How many people have taken the time to understand outside America's poverty outside of their own points of view? I kept thinking how much work we could get done, how amazing it would be if the SS. HRP could get the kind of dedication and numbers that the large group of people tonight gave.
My negative feeling could also be impacted by being really annoyed with the uber christian lady who kept shouting "Jesus!" when she was done packing things. And it so annoying that the first thing she did was ask everyone in the group "are you christian, and what church do you go to?" Like she was singling out which people were "good" and which people were "bad". I should have told her that i worshipped satan.
Also, she yelled at me when i swore over dropping some rice. Really? It's a feed my starving children event so clearly, there are bigger issues out there than swearing and whether or not everyone goes to church.
I have so much to think on. More to come |

Home from vacation!
It was rather enjoyable aside from my face breaking out worse than it's been it quite sometime. I feel like I'm in highschool again, it's so embarassing :(... I'm 22! I shouldn't be having this problem anymore!
I'm assuming that it's simply getting worse before getting better because I'm trying some new face stuff, that's usually what happens right?
I journaled alot while on vacation, figured some things out.Don't really have the energy tonight to write about it though. I shall do a more in depth journal entry later. |

So... first date since Mark
It went all right. He was a nice guy, cute too.
bit of an age gap.
We went to the Chatterbox
It was fairly empty considering it's the chatterbox!
We had good topics of conversation (philosophy, theology and such) but he kind of took them over.
Any time I started to get my input in on the convo he would then cover it with his own convo immediately before I was done, and then added all of the details and the stories that connected - aka: He talked too much.
He was very nice too walk me home, though probably he was hoping to get some action. Which I didn't...I'm picky.
At least I got that first date experience again!!
that is all |

update - haven't done this in a while!
*Fight night was last night! It was at Matt's place, we grilled before hand and it was delicious! The Lesnar vs Mir fight was everything I had hoped for...Lesnar pretty much demolished Mir's face, without getting a single scratch on him.
*Gabby's potluck today! I'm pretty excited for this. And Kelsey B is coming so that will be great fun!
*Still haven't heard back from YWCA about their child care position that I interviewed for, it would be nice if I got the job as I need the money.
*The SS. HRP (my new name for the human rights program) is starting a new campaign which I am very excited to be getting involved with! Protesting Pawlenty's decision to cut General Assistance Medical Care, what an idiot. My question is if he has some sort of back up plan or is he just cutting it in total?
*have a date on monday night which I'm kind of not wanting to do. But i figure one date won't hurt, since it's been so long since I've been on a first date.
yuup thats about all I can think of right now |

This seems to be my eating ritual now, I eat mostly veggies and carbs for awhile, and then I just crave a burger. |

*Read stuff for internships
*Begin Summer work out
*Finish deep clean of room
*Call to figure out what time my internship starts tomorrow
*Go get air put into my bike tires

I'm pretty excited for summer! I'm excited to plan meals out of the stuff we have in our apartment, how to best use coupons,and to bike everywhere. I'm excited to begin my Wellness journey and to work out a lot. And to find fun, cheap things to do with friends. And also to have time to read books that i want to read! |

So I've finally pin pointed a few places, got a few call backs. But there's nothing certain.
There's ESL tutoring at Neighborhood House in St. Paul
and an internship at People serving Peoplev in Minneapolis.
I always hate this time...when I've sent out all my stuff and all I can do is wait. I'm so antsy!! |

papers that deleted themselves: got an extension for June 22nd. Thank fucking god!
job search: not going well so far. But I'm still trying...so i guess that counts.
patience with anyone or anything: quickly diminishing
I could use a reeeally long work out tonight. Maybe I'll see if my mom will take me as her guest to the club. |

So, life has been pretty stressful lately...
But then I opened up this email from my old supervisor and dear friend Josh and it made everything better
___________________________________
WE DID IT. We passed the Bus Bill!
Please come to St. Stephen’s Human Services on Wednesday May 27 th from 4-6 PM to celebrate passage of the Discount Transit Passes program.
This bill is a pilot program allowing 10-20 agencies serving the homeless to receive bus passes and tokens at a 50% discount from Metro Transit. This is a huge grassroots victory for the more than 400 homeless people who testified about the importance of transportation to their lives. Co-authors Senator Scott Dibble and Representative Frank Hornstein will speak about the bill. We will also have food, refreshments, and information about the bill.
______________________________________
Hell fucking yeah!! guess where I'll be Wednesday night??
I would like to point out that I was the one who recorded the first 15 of those over 400 bust testimonies.
WOOO!! |

So, today was my last class day of HECUA...I almost cried.
I'm glad the hw is over (or will be once I write my Analysis paper), but I'm really going to miss the class. The people and the environment.
I worry that I didn't make all the connections I wanted to make, personally, socially and within my studies. I was dealing with all the mark, break up bullshit for half of it so I feel like I was distracted for a good chunk. Why couldn't he have waited till the summer time to break up with me? I honsetly feel quite frustrated with this fact. Almost mad.
I definitely am going to cry tomorrow at the community gathering/class picnic. |

Yay for finals week! Stress is rampant, drama is in the air, tension is just at a general high.
I'm in general doing pretty decently actually. I have quite a bit left to do before my semester is up but I think with a little patience and some random up lifting things here and there I should make it allright. I'll be all done with my big group study project by tomorrow, and then i just have the big final My own Analysis paper due for HECUA, and a few short papers for GSJ. I suppose I have that poem for the community party as well but that should be fun, Ariel's gonna help me write it on a coffee date :D
Best of luck to all who have finals coming up! We can do it! |

Awesome things of the week:
*Ariel coming home!!!!!
*A new Grey's Anatomy was on this week!
*Giving my presents to my supervisor's on my last day of internship
*The Self Sufficiency Bus bill we'd been working on all year was passed into a law!!!
-seriously, I'm so freaking proud of my team for this. And myself to, how many 21 year olds can say that they were apart of a movement that created a law? |

Yeah..I'm totally that person, sitting in a coffee shop working on hw at 11 o clock at night, who grooves in my seat to songs to on my computer. I rock :)
2 Newsletters and 1 1/2 inserts for those Newsletters: Check! Check! Check!
Internship Reflection Paper # 3: Check!
Still got a whole ton left to do though. But I'm getting there!!
Stress level: Blaaaaah!.... But I'm getting there! Thank god for Armin Van Buuren, and delicious coffee drinks!
Is it bad that I'm kind of tempted to ask/seduce my ex boyfriend into having a strictly biological - tension relieving - one night stand with me, just so I can feel slightly less stressed?
Am I really that much of a bitch? Not likely.
I think I'm going to resort to more loud music and dance sessions in my room, and candle lit bubble baths with "peaceful bubble bath soap" (it is peaceful! It says so on the bottle!)
Maybe even a dance session at a club this weekend! Anyone game?? |

plan today:
*Complete and post discussion forum response (and decipher Elora's confusing question *grumbles*)
*Apply for jobs (I hate writing cover letters)
*Finish internship reflection paper
*Work on Group Study Project (yeah I totally haven't done much..I suck)
things I eventually have to do:
*Finish Group Study project stuff
*Do final Internship agreement reflection thingy
*All GSJ stuff
*Figure out final stuff for fall schedule *grumbles*
There's probably something else in there I'm just not remembering it right now.
Stress level = HIGH!!!
Stress relief = loud cranking of music and random dance parties in my room |
