maaaaan its been awhile since ive blogged!!! i guess the bff inspired me to finally sit n write. when i first moved out here it was suuuuper easy cuz i didnt really have nething to do n i spent most of my time @ home. i guess i got more involved with FASA n started workin as much as i could that i didnt have the strength to sit n type or i was just so caught up in everything thats goin on that i thought i’d just go with it. altho now i wish i had taken the time to type things out. sooo much has changed in these past few months!!!
lemme start with y i chose this song – kinda obvious i guess, but definitely gettin home sick again. dont worry, im not all emo like i was last time i got home sick. this time i at least kno n understand y i cant go home this summer. damn u work! i’ll get into that later. but as much as i wanna go home to hang with the bff n catch up with everyone, i cant. i miss summer @ the beach, bonfires, bbqs, random drunk nights n late nite food runs n i miss my family n friends. the first time i heard this song i felt so at home! n so – thats y its my post headline 
anyway…lets get on with this thing!
school – finished out the semester with a c n a d. def not happy with it since i was only part time. but – when ur out here all by urself n u’ve gotta do as much as u can to support urself, work was more to me than school was n that really took a toll on my grades. mostly because 1) i had to pick up shifts during class time 2) i was exhausted from closing @ bjs the nite b4 n didnt wake up for class on time. but @ least now i’m a junior (units wise) n i decided im gonna do concurrent enrollment @ unlv n @ csn. gotta re-take hmd 101 (i hate 100 level classes that rely on in class participation!!! i aced everything else, papers n midterm n final n yet still not enuff to get a c!) n take a few other classes. grads lookin like another 3 yrs or so. hopefully i can find a full time gig to fix my residency!!!
work – the good thing is im no longer workin 3 jobs. im still workin @ bjs n about to start this amazing opportunity at encore. im sure u’ve all seen the ads on facebook n twitter, but if u havent, checkout www.encorebeachclub.com. thats wut i’ll be doin this summer – workin @ the encore beach club grill. should definitely be an experience! my 3rd location opening (1st @ lazy dog cafe n 2nd @ the counter). openings r suuuuch a learning experience! crazy hectic training schedule, “play days” n then opening comes waaaay sooner than u thought it would. ur gonna mess up, things wont happen in a timely manner, but u learn from it n finally get things right at some point. its a steady extra position, but i should be gettin near 40 hrs. after the probationary employment period, i’m able to find something more permanent n hopefully full time. i was actually torn between workin @ the venetian as a resort services agent (aka resort sales) which was a full time gig, but i HATE desk jobs n most definitely HATE sales jobs. i hate being pushy i hate having to be aggressive about it sometimes. i did sales for ing direct for a year n once it started bein about sales n not so much about service, i hated it. the full time job would have fixed my residency, but i wouldn’t have been happy doin it, n now that i’ve started training a bit with encore, i reeeeeeeally feel like i made the right choice. wynn las vegas is such an amazing company to work for! check the awards theyve gotten! all i gotta do is show up to work on time n do work! n of course, have some fun along the way 
fams – hehe i love gettin such random ass txts n facebook msgs from my mom. makes me miss her even more though. i miss random hang outs @ reg n javs’ place n i miss reg’s cooking. so simple yet soooo yummy!!! haha shes the reason y i actually like brussel sprouts. weird. i got to see javs this past weekend. good times for sure.
friends – idk wut id do without the bff n the ppl i left back home that r still amazing friends even 300 miles away (thanx twitter n facebook). i miss my twin n the relay group n roar n lc n my lb/la ppls. i miss my kappa sisters n i def miss greek life out here! nothin like cali greek life! but this move has def made me appreciate genuine friendships n the ppl that keep u strong n support u thru wutever, n its made me realize who i dont need in my life. n my fasa homies – they’ve all become like family to me. spring 2k10 eboard was such a struggle but at the end of it, i realized how much time we all spent together n how much i enjoyed spending time with them. i guess i’ll call them
“the usuals”, but theyve got me thru some hard times n we’ve def made some amazing memories together. without them, i probably woulda moved home already, haha.
the bf – things r def great ^-^ its nice to be in a healthy relationship n nice to have someone to do the simple things with – cook, watch movies, drink with, nap…u kno. we keep it simple n that makes me happy. only thing is – he doesnt sleep! lol. n i, on the other hand, fall asleep sooo easily! i knocked out last nite after he put ben gay on my shoulder (stupid tray arm!) n he stayed up til idk, 7 or 8! n hes still snorin -_- haha he probably wont up for another few hrs but thats ok
with all that said – im hungry. haha time for brunch? naw f that…its lunch. i promise myself i will start bloggin on a regular n i wanna start yelp’in again. ive gone to soo many places my memory card on my blackberry is full of food pix i need to upload!!!
anyway…til next time…im out.
