MIA- AKA "and so the stress has begun"
Ok so I have been just that, MIA, though.. since I haven't invited anyone to join the blog yet I guess I'm not really missing from anything, but it's late and I'm rambling. The last few weeks have been very busy. School wise the semester is starting to wind its way towards finals and with that comes the deadlines that at the beginning of the semester seemed so far away. Oh well it's a 6 page paper, $80, and an hour long group presentation, I'm not stressing it too much.
Sunday was the Colbie Caillat and Sara McLachlan concert (I'm sure I spelled those wrong). It was a blast! Though I was bummed the whole night that Alex couldn't make it. So me, Ginger, Tommy, and Ryan (poor Tommy, the only one not from our high school) went to the radio station and took a tour style bus to napa, riding in comfort. A great dinner where we made friends with Randy the awesome appetizer waiter (and therefor got the appetizers as soon as they came out, wtg randy), and some amazing wine that I'll have to ask Ginger what the name of it was (all I know is it started with an M). The concert was phenomenal, and smart me thought to call Alex during the Colbie set so he got to hear almost all of it (then my battery died woops). We didn't get back in until 1am, felt bad for Ginger because she had boards the next day, but she said she had fun. Monday Alex took me to Emil Villas (there is still one in Hayward) for a huge breakfast then we hit Niles, Frys, and game stop, but mopey me made us call it an early night (turns out I was coming down sick). Tuesday they were cutting hours at work and I happily cut my shift short, had lunch at the new BJs, then helped Alex get ready to leave. He is down south for 2 weeks, then I get him for a week or so at Thanksgiving, then he goes down south again, hopefully get him a week or so at Christmas, down south for a few months months (that is going to be the first hurdle), then home for 1-2 weeks, then overseas (the second hurdle) for roughly seven months, then he comes back stateside, but not local until around Christmas time next year. So.. needless to say I was crying alot on Tuesday, and feeling ridiculous about it. Wednesday started with my alarm going off at 430, so that we could leave fremont by 5, to be in san bruno by 530, to drop him off and then I had to go to Palo Alto (got there 615) was on the floor 7-3 then had a 2 hour meeting and sat talking to my teacher for another half hour. Thanks to traffic and fog I got home.. 7ish. And immediately crashed. Today the cold/flu whatever hit full force and I ditched out on school and didnothing but lay in bed all day, and I still feel lousy. Tomorrow will be that paper I mentioned earlier, and my part of the presentation, as well as making breads for clinical (though.. may do that on monday).
And once again I'm rambling.
Started Christmas shopping, treated myself and replaced my makeup that ran out, going to surprise Alex with hockey tickets for the night before thanksgiving, I don't think he'll be home for his birthday, I know he's going to miss mine, so figured we'd just do our respective birthdays a couple of weeks early.
So to summarize
Alex is gone
I need to get my emotions under control (Sunday I go off the sugar pills with the BCP that shoudl help)
Hockey game the day before thanksgiving
I need a vacation from my life.
pictures from the concert to come.... whenever I get them off of my camera
