21 & Christmas
I am officially 21 as of Christmas Eve 2008. It was a good, chill birthday and I didn't get all crazy or nothing cuz, well, I really didn't need to. Spent it at Church and with my family and seriously that was all I needed.
I had my first 21 experience on Christmas day with my bestfriend Siene. We went to 7-11 and I bought us some alcohol. I know, EPIC right? Haha.
And I spent my first weekend as a 21-year old with the guy I'm dating and his family for his sister's wedding. It was a really great weekend and there's so much more about him and me that I'm excited for and looking forward to. We are both learning to understand each other a lot better which is really good.
---
Christmas was awesome too. A low-key family Christmas that I love. Happy birthday Jesus (:

The Finer Things
I am officially done with Fall 2008 semester! .. Well, actually once I go on campus and turn in this last final. Hehe.
My thoughts? This semester has been the most challenging in every way. It was my first semester taking ALL upper div classes, which, if you're a poli sci AND legal studies double, you could just imagine how much READING and PAPER-WRITING is required. Not to mention, I couldn't enroll into the legal studies courses until like two weeks after the semester started so I was ALREADY behind from the start. WEAK. So four upper divs, being asst. director of an a cappella group, still working, going home a LOT (too much actually), and handling my boo (haha, syke), it's been a time-management challenge most def.
Next semester though, I need to start strong, persist strong, and finish strong. There's no way I'm going to let next semester or any other semester be as horrible as it was this semester.
ANYWAY --
We liberated last night, and I am so glad. Haha. Except my head kind of hurts..
But I'm finally going home tonight! Sad, Paolo and I didn't really have a solid last day except sleep. Haha. I will see him next weekend at his sister's wedding (when I meet his whole extended family and more.. YIKES) and hopefully sometime after that too....
And to top it off, I got accepted into the Study Abroad program! So, if all the finances come correct (and it should), I will be spending six weeks of my summer in Paris!
Okay, well that's all for now. Time to pack, clean, and turn in this stupid final.
PEEAACEEE

Oh My Hero..
So I've been re-playing Final Fantasy 3/6 (yes, okay.. I'm a nerd so what!) and last night while I was playing I passed my favorite scene in the game -- the Opera scene! It's sweet (:

16.
This is being completely copied/pasted from my Facebook note, but I thought it'd be fun to post here.
The premise:
Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You have to tag the person who tagged you.
---
1) I was born around 1030pm on Christmas Eve. The doctor told my mom if she waited 2 more hours she'd have me as a Christmas gift. Guess what my mom said to that.
2) I used to want to be a back-up singer. That way I'd fulfill my dream of singing as a career without the pressures that come along with fame. Actually, this is still sort of true about me.
3) I hated the drama of high school so much that I managed to get 92 hours of absences in one semester. I also got straight A's that semester.
4) I hate putting my hair up all the way. This is because I used to be in ballet, and at one of my performances my hair was slick back in a bun (duh) and my brother looked at my shadow and my shadow was seriously just my oval head and two huge ears sticking out. My brother then commenced calling me an alien, and kept asking my mom if I were an alien. Haha. Scarred me for life apparently.
5) My brother and sister used to tell me that my mom didn't want me and that I was a mistake. It's not entirely unwarranted, since my mom accidentally got pregnant with me because she was too lazy to get her tubes tied after my sister. Thus, I was born.
6) My sister and I used to jump out of our second story window for fun.
7) My brother used to give my mom such a hard time for having another daughter and not another son. So he tried to make me a boy, calling me Chris all the time (which wasn't unusual in the first place since my mom called me that), but also teaching me how to skateboard and play Magic the Gathering, among other things.
8) Final Fantasy RPGs are my guilty pleasure. I've beat 3 (6), 7, 8, and 9; started 10 but my brother erased my file, and then started it again but got too lazy to finish. I'm currently re-playing FF3/FF6. My favorite is FF8 because I am in love with Squall and secretly wish I were Rinoa.
9) I had my first kiss when I turned 16. Yup, about one hour after midnight on my 16th birthday. Actually, 16 was magical.
10) 2008 has been the best year of my life so far.
11) I've had surgery twice in my life -- one for a cyst underneath my left eye in 4th grade, and one for my wisdom teeth summer 2007.
12) I didn't apply to UCSD (even though I'm from SD) because at the time I was trying to get far, far away from my ex-boyfriend. He gave me shit for that when we got back together... HAHA. Oh well, I wouldn't have gone there anyway.
13) I'm addicted to fast food and soda. I should probably cut back if I want to live past 40.
14) When I was younger I was really, unhealthy-looking skinny. Every time I went to the doctor for a regular check-up, they would question my eating habits and ask if I were depressed or anything like that. I'd always tell them I eat a lot and that I'm just healthy.. But they'd draw my blood anyway to see if there was something physically wrong with me. There never was. And I hated the doctor for that! Oh, if they could see me now.
15) I'm 5'2" and I like my height. I actually hate wearing heels sometimes because I hate feeling tall.
16) Every time I pass a store window, I have the tendency to check myself out in it. Haha. I think every girl does this, and a lot of guys do, too. But it's just funny because I feel really self-centered whenever I do it, but when I'm satisfied with what I see then it's justified.

A LOT
A lot has been going on but for lack of time I cannot update. I'm currently swamped with a 20-page paper due on Tuesday, and finishing up my study abroad applications and documents. I hope there's one more space for me........
Can't say I'm happy right now cuz a lot of the crap that's been going down.
One thing I can say tho, is that he really knows how to keep me sane and happy. He's the reason why I wake up smiling every morning, and the reason that I know I'll be okay. I couldn't ask for anyone better. Thank you (:
Ciao! for now.
