Pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot to add my Halloween pumpkin pictures so here they are :)


 This is my pumpkin, It's suppose to be a cat but it kind of reminds me of a hamster. lol


This is my mom's pumpkin. I like joking with my mom and saying it has four eyes but my mom says it just has a scar running through its smiley face. :P

 This is my brother's pumpkin.

This is my dad's pumpkin.
 I wonder what's wrong with the guys they both made sad pumpkins.


My family has two bird cages so I decided to connect them and make it like one big bird cage. There's a big square hole in the middle so the birds can climb through to the top or bottom cage.

 The view of the fields and mountains from the backyard is always so pretty. It's so relaxing watching the sun go down.

                                      




Chocolate

For the past three weeks I've had an insane craving for chocolate. I keep eating huge amounts of it but it still isn't enough and it's kind of freaking me out. Last week on wednesday I had the worst craving for it ever. It was so bad that I had to almost run to the vending machiene. While I plugged in the numbers for a reeses my other hand began to shake literally uncontrollably and I began to feel sick. I've never ever had that happen to me. I know that i'm not the only one in my familiy that craves chocolate, my aunt eats one or more chocolate bars every day and my grandma always has tons of chocolates in one of her cabinets. Could this be a hereditary problem? Am I maybe lacking something else in my diet? Does anybody know what's going on with me?

Update

Just finished changing the background and stuff to my blog. What do you think?

November :)

Wow I can't believe it's already november. I'm so excited my birthday is in 2 weeks and then after that I'll have Thanksgiving break. :)

Today was a little interesting. When I went to grab my mail this afternoon, I noticed a kute little dog walking around but I didn't see it's owner. I decided to watch the dog before approaching it just in case the owner showed up. It was so funny this tiny little dog went to all of my neighbors houses and peed on all of the mail boxes. As he approached my house and of course peed on my mail box, he noticed me and scampered up to me. After petting him a little, the dog decided to explore my front yard, sniffing and peeing on everything.
My territorial cat of course ended up seeing him and began to slowly stalk him. While I tried to grab my cat, the little dog ended up finding a small hole in the fence that led to my back yard. The tiny dog walked through it and into my back yard, with my cat following him. So I ran to the back yard. The little dog had noticed the cat and when it tried to sniff it my cat ran up a tree. While trying to get the cat out of the tree, my dog came out of the dog door. I didn't know how my dog would react to the little dog so I decide to get her and put her inside. It was good timing because the little dog noticed my dog and began to run up to it like it was ready to fight. Luckily, I was able to quickly pull her inside the house before the little dog reached her. I quickly turned my attention back to the cat, climbed up the tree, grabbed her, and put her inside the house with the dog. I didn't know whether or not the dog was aggressive so I decided to go open the back yard gate and see if I could coax the dog out. My gate is weird and I can only open it up from the front yard. As I walked to the front yard I noticed a man looking around. I asked him if he was looking for a small dog and he said yes. I opened the gate for him and he grabbed his dog.

After all that excitement it was back to homework....

College...

"College was the best years of my life."- Yeah right.
Excuse my language but college has been one pain in the ass. If it wasn't so important I would've left after the third week. My teachers are nice but there's so much homework!!!!!! And since i'm a freshmen i'm supposedly "not getting much work at all". Some of the students are so mean, rude, and immature in my classes some of the stuff they say/do is jaw dropping.

For example, yesterday, two students came in 20 minutes late to my history class. They didn't come in quietly but instead were busy yapping away about something. They decided to sit in seats at the front of the classroom, right infront of the teacher. They continued talking and started laughing loudly about some joke. Then one of the girls asks the teacher if he could repeat everything he said because her and her friend were busy talking.

So yeah college sucks for me, I heard people make lots of friends in college but so far all that's happened is I get teased because of how I look- cause i'm a bit ugly and I can't afford nice clothes. Then when I do actually meet someone nice I end up not being able to find them again on campus because the campus is either so big or our schedules are so different that we rarely get a chance to see eachother. I can't believe i'm going to be stuck here for 4 years, though most likely 6. It sucks that I can't afford to go to another CSU nearby though I doubt it'd make much of a difference. 

Sorry I needed to get that off my chest.

Okay so other stuff that's been happening in my life was my fish died except for one pleco. It's doing really well though and is now 8 inches long and looks to be in very healthy shape.

So I wanted to add some new fish so I did some research and found the perfect fish for the type of water I have. So I bought 4 guppies from petco. I never should've done this because never in my life have I had any luck with the fish from my petco so yeah the guppies ended up attacking eachother. After 4 days one died from the attacks though when I bought it the fish was already in bad shape, then one died of some sort of disease or something- it had a strange white fuzz in it's mouth,  then another died from getting attacked by this other guppy that was always fighting with it, and then the last one looks like it died from ick. I tried treating the fish with melafix and added a small extra dosage of aquarium salt since pet stores usually do that to treat sick fish but nothing worked.

So I think i'm going to try getting guppies from petsmart or walmart. - I hear alot of bad stuff about walmart fish but somehow the fish that last the longest with me have all been from walmart. If I still have problems with the guppies then i'll look through my list of other fish I wanted to try, hopefully i'll have success sometime soon.

Some other stuff that's happened lately...

-Grandpa died

-My boyfriend's birthday was yesterday but he's having a party on saturday. I'm so excited yet nervous at the same time. Me and him go to different colleges and I'm going to meet his new friends on saturday. I hope they're nice. :)

- I've been having sleeping problems. I can't sleep until around 2am. On days I have school this is a problem because I have to get up at 6:30 so I only get four hours and thirty minutes of sleep, sometimes less and if i'm lucky i'll get five hours. I'm lucky that I have school Mon-Wed.-Fri so I can sleep in on tuesday and thursday morning.

This week...

So this week has been an interesting week...

  I went and visited the college that i'm going to start attending in August. I got lucky that all my classes are pretty close to eachother so I won't have to walk very far to get to my next class.

Two days ago I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out which luckily wasn't as painful as I thought it'd be.

Yesterday was my dad's b-day which was nice but it felt so weird to celebrate...
Yesterday at 8am my next door neighbor's truck was hit by a big rig and he died. My neighbor was only 24 years old. My family didn't really know him that much because he had just moved in earlier this year but it still feels so weird to know that my neighbor just died.

Day 15

I feel sick and terrible today, yuck. I have been sick for 15 days! This sickness is really hard to get rid of. :( I thought yesterday I was fine. I just had a little coughing so I went with my mom to my grandparents house to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins from Oregon. It was really fun but I guess I wasn't ready to go out and now I feel really bad XP Oh well it was worth it. Wednesday I have to go to the dentist office and Friday I might go to the movies with my bf, finally I get to see him, it's been like forever! We're gonna go watch Inception. I'm so excited!!! XD

13 Days

I have been sick with a virus or something for 13 days and it really sucks, but at least I feel like it's almost over with.
So what's happened lately is i've had freshmen orientation.
I have...
 English: Monday,Wednesday,Friday
History: Monday, Wednesday
Seminar class:- it's like an intro to college kind of class- Monday, Wednesday, Friday
and I have two math classes cause I didn't do well on the ELM- I only needed 2 more points to get into the regular math classes- really stinks, I only had 4 hours of sleep the night before the test cause I was worried about it I guess, so I did bad on the test. So I have both classes mondays and wednesday and for one I have it on friday too.
I kinda like my schedule, I don't have school on tuesdays and thursdays and on friday I only have 3 classes but mondays and wednesdays I have 5 classes which kind of makes me sad, I was hoping for less but oh well at least it's not 6 classes like high school but then again I didnt have to stay at school till 6pm. I'm not looking forward to that part T_T


Oh and i'm sorry I don't have any pics from fourth of july cause I was sick in bed all day. XP

I'm sick of being sick

Okay so my mom says my grandma only had this sickness for a day and a half, i'm on day 3!!! This sickness, virus, cold whatever it is, is really annoying! I'm so tired of soup T_T

So luckily this sickness thing isn't too bad. I get the usual fever and junk but it's bearable enough to where I can actually get out of bed for a bit. yay!!!.... however i'm still stuck in my room. XP

So what have I been doing while i've been sick?

1. Searching the web for a lunch box- so for college i'm looking for a good lunch box. Sadly i'm extra picky i've searched amazon, walmart.com, and a bunch of other sites, there's been nothing. Maybe my standards are too high, but all I wanted was a small insulated lunch box that really works and keeps food cold for 4-6 hours T_T

2. CTFxC on Youtube- It's about this couple and what they do everyday, they are so hilarious it's something that's nice to watch when i'm bored. http://www.youtube.com/user/CTFxC

3. New laptop- So I turned on my new laptop and i've just been messing around and exploring on it. I finished loading Microsodt Office Home and Student 2010 and i'm now trying to put Itunes on it but I accidently loaded the 32-bit version and I was suppose to load the 64-bit version so now i'm trying it again. Then in a little bit i'm gonna load on some apps for my mom's new iphone :)



4. Eating, drinking, sleeping, and blowing my nose like crazy - the usual sickness stuff. I've been using toilet paper rolls to blow my nose I use up 3-4 rolls a day it's so gross. T_T

5. Creating a couple email accounts- so i've created like 3 new email accounts, one for school, one for websites that I know i'm gonna get alot of junk mail with, and one for my mom, I also need to create another one to use as a main account but I don't know what I should name it.

So that's pretty much it. I need to go charge my camera now cause 4th of July is coming up soon so Bye :)

Sick....

I feel so gross, i'm sick at home. I'm sick, my mom's sick, grandparents are sick, one of my cousins is sick, even my cat has been throwing up.

Busy weekend :)

Yesterday I arrived back home after spending the weekend at my grandparents’ home. My grandpa’s health has gotten worse and his memory is terrible which was sad. However, it was still a nice weekend. It felt so good to relax and not feel so stressed out and my sleep has gotten a bit better, I got a few extra hours today and yesterday. :)


Some other big stuff that also happened during the weekend was my mom got the 3G iphone. We know the 4G came out but there’s been a lot of bad reviews about it so I guess she’s going to stick with the 3G for a while.

I did a site to store order with walmart.com a while ago and my two bedding sets, comforter sets, and sheet set came in which made me very happy. I’ve been buying and saving stuff up for when I get my own apartment someday. Now I’m just waiting for my Tramontina Cookware Set. It’s so cool, I’m really excited about getting it!!! I really don’t often spend much money but since it’s summer and I got some graduation money I’ve been buying a bit lately. XD

I also got a new laptop for college. It looks really nice. My dad and I have been researching for laptops to buy ever since graduation. I found a good one however he found a better one at Costco. It was kinda funny since none of my family members were Costco members so my dad and mom signed up while I was waiting in one of the long checkout lines. My mom and dad also bought me Microsoft office home and student 2010, which looks really cool. XD

My mom just came home from work about an hour ago; she says my grandparents, my dad and her all have a small cold. Wow, I can’t believe I’m not sick, I have like the worst immune system in the family. Oh crap I have freshman orientation next week, I hope I don’t get sick during orientation. T_T

Today was.... AWESOME XD

My boyfriend came over today. I haven't seen him since graduation day which was forever ago.-3 weeks ago!!!!  It was sooooo much fun being with him!!!! Me and him have been arguing on the phone and computer alot lately so having a great day together was just what I needed. It was so nice to see him I wanna invite him to come over next week!!!! :D

Another long night/morning

Okay so i'm having some really bad sleeping problems and i've thought about it and I think it's because i've had alot of stress lately. Pretty much to sum it up me and my boyfriend/bestfriend are having some relationship problems right now, both of my grandpas' healths are bad and getting worse, i'm nervous about college orientation and going to the school, i'm losing my patience and getting extra stressed because of two people who usually stress everybody out but have been worse lately because of some stuff. Does anybody know of any easy and cheap ways or things to help a person relax and fall asleep???

Any Ideas???

Okay so right now i'm updating my blog and I wanna give it some cool new stuff. Anybody have any gadget ideas? Music Ideas? Does anybody know of any good websites that have a bunch of different stuff for blogger-that's free?

OMGOSH I'M A COLLEGE FRESHMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah, i've graduated from high school!!! I feel scared, excited, and a million other emotions all at the same time, it's totally crazy awesome!!!!!! Okay so right now it's 3a.m. where I live, though by the time I finish this post it'll probably be 5a.m. since i'm a slow typer. 

Sorry about the typos and stuff i'm on lack of sleep cause my sleep has been totally messed up, well I always have trouble sleeping but it's never been this bad before. I blame summer. :)


Okay so here are some pics from the May Fair Parade which was two weeks away from graduation day.





The trash can drill team is awesome even though they do the same thing every year it's still fun to watch :)



I wish I had better picks of these cars, they were bouncing around everywhere. I wonder what it's like to be inside one of those cars. Probably really fun. :D




Okay so as a summer project i'm cleaning out my room of old stuff and storing some of it away. I probably won't see the stored stuff for another 10 or so years so i'm just gonna write a little about it so that if in the future i'm still on here and see this blog post i'll remember some of it.

Okay this jewelry box was from one of my great grandmas. Inside I have kept items that are important to me from about age 7 all the way to senior year of high school. It includes the movie ticket from my first date, pic of me and my bf at grad night, etc.

This is scat a beanie baby that I use to take on vacation trips with me when I was little. I use to like collecting beanie babies. It was really fun :)

I was involved in basketball when I was younger for about 6 or so years. I hated it so much but dad didn't let me quit it. There are probably only 2 or 3 trophies left cause I accidently broke the other ones.-they fell from the window sill. XP


Okay from junior high to the beginning of high school I liked manga, specifically romantic shojo. They were so fun to read! :D


Alright so this is a pic of a spider I found in the bathroom. During summer alot of spiders try to come in the house. It's so scarey, every year something always happens whether I get a huge spider crawling up my leg or a spider stuck in my hair. It's no fun at all. :(



Coco's summer agenda:

Sleep

more sleep :P

She's so spoiled. :)



Alright umm there's not much I have left to talk about.

I picked plums and apricots yesterday from the apricot and plum tree in my back yard. The apple tree has been growing some good apples, they're not ready to be picked yet but should be ready in about 2-3 weeks.

Recently I bought a Tramontina 10-piece 18/10 Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Clad Cookware set. I ordered it online so it'll take a couple of days before i get to see it. I'm so excited!!!! XD

I'm so excited about college, orientation is in 2 weeks!!!!!!

Quick Post

Wow so much has happened. May fair was fun. Weather has been crazy raining on and off alot, very rare. Where I live it like never in May. Lots of hail to, also rare, the hail is bigger than usual to. I'm shocked about Oklahoma city and their baseball sized hail. Finals are 9 days from now. The next time I post i'll become a college student. Oh I got a scholarship to and i'm now a full member of California scholarship federation. Maybe i'll put some graduation pics on here in June. :)

Senioritis

This week i've been tired, lazy, and avoiding my homework, yep, overall i'm showing the symptoms of senioritis. This week has been awesome yet weird.

The awesome part- I got to sleep in longer than usual and teachers have been pretty nice this week, not many are giving out hard assignments and alot are actually watching a bunch of movies.

The weird part- For some strange reason for the past two weeks I haven't really felt hungry. I still sorta eat alot because it's like a routine for me, but I don't even feel stuffed either, last week and part of this week my stomach felt exactly the same feeling- I feel car sick, except im not in a car. Well the good news though is the car sick feeling has gone down alot and now I don't feel it much but I can barely feel the feeling of being hungry or stuffed. It kinda worries me because this is totally not like me.

I also feel kinda irratated. My head has been hurting, probably because of my spring dust and pollen allergies, and all I want is peace, quiet, and relaxation but it seems to be impossible at my house. :(

I can't wait for May but it's also my busiest month of the year especially at the end of the month. After May Fair week I might not post anything until finals week or sometime in June :(

Countdowns:

May Fair week: 1 week and 2 days
Last School Dance:  5 weeks and 1 day
Memorial Day Holiday: 5 weeks and 4 days
Finals week:  5 weeks and 5 days
Last Day of School: 6 weeks
Graduation Ceremony: 6 weeks and 2 days

I am so confused XP

I am so confused. So I have been trying to figure out what has been living under the house. I'm at the point to where I think multiple animals are underneath. So today my beagle killed a baby possum in the backyard so I thought that maybe a mother possum and her babies were under the house. But possums don't meow and everybody heard meowing under the house, and possums don't have black faces, but my brother said he saw a black face, so maybe a cat, it did eat the kitten chow I left for it. But cats don't dig in backyards for no reason and possums don't dig at all. There are a ton of hug holes in the backyard like a dog did it but my dog doesn't dig that well and she's too old, and nothing is burried under the dug up piles and there aren't any underground holes. Okay so I know it has a black face, eats kitten chow, and there's apricot seeds and plum seeds under the house so it probably climbs, digs for no reason, meows, it does comes out at night, and my dad saw it's eyes and said it's big. Okay so it seems like there's a cat and a mother possum under the house. But I can't really picture a mother possum getting along with a cat under the house. XP

The cat under the house and the beagle that attacks automatic feeders

Okay so today I finished my homework early and I was like

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally I get some freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.....................................

.......i'm so bored XP

 So I decided to look for the cat that's been hiding under my house. I didn't actually go under but I did try to take pictures of it by sticking my hand and camera through a small door hole kinda thing in my house that leads under the house.

 No luck...

Nobody has seen what it looks like but my family has heard it meow sometimes. So I went to check on some cat food I left yesterday for it and omgosh this thing eats like crazy whenever I leave food down it'll eat like half a full plate of cat food per day. Since I don't have anything to do today I think i'm gonna go on cat watch and try to see if I can get a sneak peak of the cat, maybe i'll check the hole out sometime tonight.

So, yesterday the automatic dog feeder my dad ordered arrived.
I have this beagle that likes to be feed inbetween 3-6 am usually 6 am, or else she barks non stop like crazy. Everyone has been tired of waking up so early to feed the dog, so my family got this feeder. It is really nice looking and was a bit pricey.
But the beagle doesn't care, she can smell the food that's in it and has been trying to break it open ever since yesterday. She bites it and scratches at it constantly, i'm really suprised that it hasn't broken yet. XP

Earthquakes

I can't believe how many crazy earthquakes have been going on this year. I just looked on cnn.com which says that today a 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck China. I decided to look on google and find a website that shows all the earthquakes that have been happening lately, I found this website. It's really amazing how many there are.

A little bored...

So i'm a bit bored and right now i'm avoiding my homework. So i'm just gonna write some boring junk.
First off I'm upset that STAR Testing is only thursday and friday of this week and then Monday and Tuesday of next week - Since i'm a senior I don't have to go to school until 11:30 -when STAR testing ends for the 9th-11th graders. :)

  On a brighter note I got my new book for book club. :)


 I hate my math hw.
 I'm only on problem #58 out of 94. :(
But at least my psychology hw is easy, I only have 3 questions left. :)

First Day Back

So today was my first day back at school and it was raining like crazy!!! I walk from my car to the campus and get all freezing and wet and since it's a very outdoor campus the only shelter is near the classrooms, cafeteria, or the restrooms.- People use to use the library but it's closed in the morning and on most days due to budget cuts. The lady that opens the restrooms sometimes doesn't open the restrooms before 1st period- she didn't open them that morning. I could've gone to the cafeteria but it was literally all the way across campus and going to their and then to my 1st period class was too far of a distance and too hard to get to in this weather. So I huddled against the restroom wall on a side that was blocking the wind and rain. It sucked :(

While the 9th-11th graders were taking STAR testing prep junk, the seniors got to relax and talk in the school's theater, the cap and gown company people also came and handed out students' caps and gowns. So here's my crazy cap and gown story....
 A few months ago the cap and gown forms were given to the teachers to give to the senior students. Well my english teacher didn't give them to his students. Luckily some girls found the forms at the back of the classroom the day the forms were due. So everybody in my english class had to mail them in or order online seperately from the school. So I talked with my parents and since they didn't want to pay online my dad said he'd mail it in from his office. A few weeks later after that someone in my english class mentions the cap and gown stuff in class and says that the guys wear green. Well the way he said it made it sound like only guys wear green and girls don't. I found out later guys wear green and girls wear white. I totally panicked I thought for sure I ordered a green gown. For a long time I worried about whether or not i'd get the right gown and I even worried about whether or not the form got to the cap and gown place. Well today I got my cap, gown, and tassels and they look perfect! I am so happy and relieved !!!!!!!!!

Btw there's only 7 weeks left in school before graduation!!! I can hardly believe it.

A busy March :)

Wow, alot has been happening these past couple of days since my last post so i'm just gonna list them really fast since I have a ton of homework.

-Watched the new Alice in Wonderland movie with my boyfriend and his family. It's a really good movie. :)

-Took the ELM/EPT tests for California State Universities, that test was crazy, I don't think I did very well
on it. :(

- Celebrated last weekend my mom's dad's b-day, and the weekend before was my dad's dad's b-day. It's so cool that my grandpas' birthdays are just a week apart from eachother.

-My aquarium filter broke so I had to get a new one, geez they're so expensive. :(

-I got accepted into my 1st choice college. I'm so happy :)

- Tried out a new shampoo and conditioner that helps lift roots. Which apparently is all it does and I think it only lifted my hair 1 cm higher then before. My hair feels really oily at the scalp and really dry near the ends and is getting oily faster then before. I'm so glad i'm almost done with finishing off the bottles. :(

- Helped pull weeds on beautification day at school. It was actually alot of fun, my boyfriend was so kute, he tried to get all the huge weeds with long roots out of the ground. He was going for a new record. :)

-Applied for a scholarship. It seemed to take forever to finish the application. I'm so glad it's over with. :)

-Finished my Civics class community servics hours. I'm so glad, now I just have to write the essay.

- Went shopping and got some spring clothes and a nice new dress.

-Finished my book for book club. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

 The weather has been crazy lately for the past few weeks it was really sunny, beautiful, and hot. However yesterday and today have been cold, windy, gloomy, and rainy. Oh btw I should have some more to write after next week, since sunday is Easter and next week is SPRING BREAK !!!!!!!!!!
Here's some pics.....


My mom's dad turned 74 last weekend. :)


This is a pic of the apple tree from the back yard. It looks really pretty right now.
 Oh and the plum and apricot tree have little green fruits on them, they'll probably be ripe by the end or middle of next week. :)

A good wednesday...



Today has been a pretty good day for me. I was really worried about the project in my last post but the teacher has decided she'll give the class time on friday to work on the project.- A big relief for me. I'm also happy that earlier today I took the photoshop certification exam and passed.
Okay i'm really tired and I want to go to bed soon so i'm going to make this short.
It's been raining on and off where I live for the past couple of weeks and probably will continue until april maybe mid-april.


This is a pic of part of the backyard which is beginning to flood but not much, the ground is mostly squishy.



The plumb tree (pic 1) and apricot tree (pic 2) are beginning to lose lots petals on their pretty flowers :(



The apple tree is showing signs of leaves.- It's suprising because the apple tree in the backyard is old and like deadish.- It rarely produces good apples-or any apples anymore.-once every other year or so, maybe all this rain will help it make some good apples.



I miss Valentine's Day. The roses Victor gave me died so now I have this cute empty vase. I have no idea what to put into it since I can't afford to get new flowers to put in and I don't want to put fake ones in it XP

Just getting some anger out...

I am so mad the Civics teacher is being rediculous she said the class would have "plenty" of time to do their political parties project so I didn't work on it this weekend because I had a ton of hw but then all of a sudden she says we have until friday to finish it!!!!!!! Not even my old Honors U.S. teacher has given the class such a short time limit and now my group has really 1 more day to start and finish a poster and 10 paragraph speech and something else-im too mad to think- to finish !!!!! I shouldn't have trusted what she said, when I was in her Leadership class I looked at the grades of her civics classes- Majority had C or below. Plus i've gotta study for my Photoshop Certification Exam which is tomorrow and this exam the school made for my multimedia two class which is worth 180 points which is on friday!!!!!! And I know if anybody is reading this there gonna say "why are you playing on the computer when you should be studying"- answer: Well i'm exhausted and need a break and need to vent. XP

12 weeks .....

Earlier today I was sitting in my English class laughing at some students jokes, the teacher had been trying to quiet the class down. The teacher all of a sudden yelled, "you guys are so immature" and everyone laughed-it was true, then he said "amazing, you're going to be out on your own in 12 weeks." All of a sudden the class fell silent silent, then a few students yelled out "really?" Nobody could believe it life after high school- only 12 weeks away. I'm lucky I have my family's support but it still makes me wonder and worry about how i'd do in the outside world and what will my life be like. I don't even have any idea on what I want to spend my life doing. It's amazing in 12 weeks my life is going to completely change.

Spring fever.... literally

I'm just gonna right some quick stuff to help keep me awake while I do my English homework. Some how typing on a computer about stuff other than school seems to help.

So first off today has been filled with on and off rain, spring showers I guess.

 The buds are blooming on the plum tree (1st pic) and apricot tree (2nd pic). I forgot how fast the buds turn into flowers; the process of turning into apricots and plums seems so fast to.

My cat seems to have a sink addiction. Whenever somebody goes to the restroom, Coco waits for them to finish their business and then when they go wash their hands she hops onto the countertop and watches the water come out of the faucet. It's so funny cause she's totally focused on it and studies everything about it. Even if it's been ten or fifteen minutes since someone has washed their hands i'll find her there examining the sink. What a silly cat.


So my boyfriend wants to go into the job corps he hasn't done much info. but he likes what he's been told, I also didn't think it was all that bad until I read more on it. I went to the recruiting website to learn more about it. He's not allowed to bring his own computer which means I can't contact him except for cell phone which really doesn't help much because of limited minutes and texting, cell phones aren't allowed to be used during training hours in any building, he's going to have to live on campus depending on his job interest so either the one that is one hour away or three hours away-that's not too bad i guess, and parents or guardians are allowed to visit the center but the center has to be notified in advance, he can leave to visit family on weekends (with a pass) and during training days friends are discouraged to come, he's not allowed to have his own transportation (they have a scheduled transportation for local shopping). He wants me to go with him but I already have a college I really want to go to. This sucks but i'll support him and I know this will be good for him. Hopefully me and him can work things out. Thank god job corps is only two year.

Oh I almost forgot. So all of my family has been is sick. I've been fighting a sickness for over a week that has been trying to come back, it seems to be a virus . My brother has also been sick though he's pretty much at the end of it, I think he has the same thing I had. My parents are both sick with something else which appears to be a stomach flu. Hopefully they'll feel better soon. :(

My brother just left my room, we had a brother-sister moment. This is what he said to me...

Joseph: Hey you might want to cover up that pimple before Victor sees u tomorrow and.....blah blah blah
(continues talking about pimple)

Jessica: I wonder where Coco's squirt bottle is?

Joseph: Why do you need that?

Jessica: (grabs squirt bottle aims at Jo)

Joseph: (gets the message and runs out of room)

Jessica: ( squirts but doesn't really aim directly for Jo)-I just like scaring him

Jessica: Close my door please.

Joseph: (yells from hall way) But you'll squirt me.

Jessica: No I won't.

Joseph: (runs and closes door, then yells in truimph for his bravery and not getting squirted)

I thought we had sunny days ahead....

Ok so this week was filled with lots of sunlight and really hot weather- it was like a spring summer mix ....well it was.... untill today, which turned out to be gloomy, gray, and foggy.



At least Spring is around the corner. There's buds forming on the apricot tree and the buds on the plum tree are beginning to turn to flowers.




I'm so suprised, the flowers Victor gave me for Valentines Day are still in pretty good shape. However I can't say the same about the flowers my dad gave to my mom.



I'm such a procrastinator, this weekend i'm gonna be swamped i'm 88 pages behind in book club. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Speaking of books, i'm so glad my English classed finally finished reading Macbeth which means we get SSR-"sustained silent reading" which allows me to read whatever novel I want, which means that I can finally finish reading Legends of the Dragonrealm!!!- yay! - i'm such a nerd.

So bye-bye crazy Macbeth and hello awesome dragon book. :)
