Well....to all who read this blog, the reason I havn't written anything is because well I forgot my password. Ha yes folks I forgot the password to my own blog..but luckily in a fit of boredom here at the tribune as I sit and wait for a source from Parsons to call back I had the time to rack my brain to remember.
I've spent a lot of time here (at the trib) during my summer which pretty much only consisted of work..here and at my shitty job as a server/bartender. In between I try to sleep as much as I can. What a life huh?? I did however, manage to take some trips! I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with some friends for a week and then on to Guadalajara with mi mejor amiga Andrea to visit her familia. And what a good time we had!! Much ceviche eating, clubbing going, tequila drinking fun!
I also applied to Cal State Fullerton (finally!!!) for the Spring. So i'm currently awaiting a response. Also I am NOT excited about having to return to Mt. Sac for another semester bc the class I need to take is stats..which blows. I am, however, happy to be back on the newspaper staff for my (hopefully) final semester.
Well if anyone out there reads this..which I doubt since Ariel took me off the blog section of the mountaineer website...thanks alot haha...leave me some comments so I know I'm worth something to someone lol.
Take care...Ciao!

Mi vida loca
Mi vida loca....yes that's right people my crazy life.
There is so much that my life consists of every damn day. Right now much school, studying,working, editing, writing, thinking and maybe a little too much online shopping..thank you Victoria's Secret.
My parents just came back from a vacation in beautiful Cabo San Lucas and I was jealous!!
Those nice beaches and great sun, yummy margaritas and chilaquiles..but most of all I was jealous of the slow pace of life there.
As more and more time passes in my own life in this country, I am focused constantly on how stressed and really tense I am. And for what?? To race over to Target to buy some shampoo or whether its driving like a maniac on the freeway Americans are always in a hurry to get somewhere.
I try for this American lifestyle to not be my lifestyle. I pray for this crazy pace of life not to be my own. But then I wake up and smell the starbucks and realize that I aspire be a journalist, a very stressful, in-the-moment type of job.
Funny huh...maybe ironic even.
My grandfather is my inspiration. That man moves to the beat of his own drum, believe me. He eats lunch for an hour and a half, drinks wine and enjoys his days watching the news, reading the newspaper and working in his garden.
If we all took more time to be like him and just chill and not worry about the five tests we have this week and the 30 hours a week we must put into our jobs we wouldn't have such crazy lives.
Just some advice I should take myself on a topic that has been heavy on my mind.
Good night!!!

I put the PRO in procrastination
So...yes I have a very large math test tomorrow at 8 a.m.
Of course, I have only studied about half of what I need to and YES I just started today.
Most students would probably wonder why I would be writing this blog right now and not actually studying. But then again I am a professional procrastinator. I love doing things at the last minute under-the-gun.
Yes folks I am still procrastinating...
It's not like I really like it to begin with, but I just can't seem to focus!! Well i'm off now to study those oh so lovable parabolas and quadratic equations : D
ciao bella :)

The trouble with undecisive men
The word is.....
Undecisive men.
They are a pain and we all know it. One day they act as though you are it for them, their ideal woman whom they want to spend eternity with, and then they wake up the next day with a wild hair idea that they want to be free, and that you are but a speck of dust from the bottom of their shoe.
When will these men realize that the life of a bachelor is not the best thing. Yes for now it seems as though they will be young, attractive stallions forever when in reality they are getting older with every passing of their new flavor of the week.
These men feel like they would be tied down if they chose one person to be with. Like it would really be a bad thing to find someone that enjoys your company and doing the things you enjoy doing.
But then they wouldn't be able to go out and get hammered every damn night and hook up with multiple girls without any commitment what so ever. UH!!! The nerve of us women to try and tame the wild stallion.
We must be crazy for trying to climb out of the dating pool. Even though it's fun to go around with all the Mt. Wrongs, we can't help but long for Mr. Right.

Lane changing compulsion
The word is.....
unsafe drivers
I was recently involved in what could have been a terrible accident on the 57 freeway. All because of one stupid driver, my friend and I were almost killed. On our way from a basketball tournament, my friend was driving in the fast lane when a car cut us off going about 80 miles an hour and forced us out of the lane. My friend swerved to avoid an accident, we slammed into the center divider.
As soon as the impact ocurred, we spun out into the other lanes right into oncoming traffic. After spinning twice, we stopped facing the oncoming cars and slightly turned counter-clockwise facing the east. My friend tried to recover, turning the wheel vigorously until we were safely posititioned on the shoulder. About five cars stopped to help us, while the car which caused the accident fled the scene.
After calling the CHP, we drove the car, on two rims with flat tires, off the freeway. About 10 minutes later, the car who caused had taken our lane pulled up behind us . She then proceeded to tell us that she saw the accident, felt bad for us and wanted to give us some money for our trouble.
I never believed her, I knew that she was the person who was the cause of the tragedy. She got out of the car and walked over to my friend and I and gave us a hug.
" I was once a young girl too," she said.
After giving us $100, which was shocking for a stranger, she got in her car and left.
I could not believe what had happened to us in a matter of 30 seconds, but I now have a fear of driving on the freeway as a result.
This woman was careless and only stopped because of the guilt she felt. A sore neck, two new tires and a diagnosis of whiplash later, I can only hope that guilt isn't all she's feeling.
I now have a new found idea of safety on the freeway. Not only do you have to worry about yourself driving, but also others around you. Be safe!!
