but she makes me want to believe

today has been the craziest day ever. well the second half anyways.

so as my roommate is making dinner, which was scallops, i get a text from ginger asking if i could do her a favor. her friend stephanie and her went hiking and were stranded and they wanted to know if i could come get them in the beaverton/portland area. so being the nice friend that i am i said yes. looked up the directions and hit the road. so i get to barnes rd in beaverton and my car starts to smoke. and then it gets really bad. so i pull over to the first road that i could find and called my mom. so i lifted up the hood of my car and it was smoking like crazy. as i am on the phone with ginger to tell her that i am stranded and i am going to be a while, this nice older man stopped and asked me if i was okay. i told him what was going on and he then proceeded to take me to his house so he could tell his domestic partner that he was going to take me to get ginger and stephanie. so he proceeded to get them and brought us back.

my aunt and uncle then came and rescued us. we figured out that it wasn't a blown head gasget like we thought it was. my radiator cap was broken, which wasn't letting the water flow correctly. so thankfully we found an auto part shop and got a new radiator cap and got that all fixed. my car is now fine. though it is in need of a wash, wax and needs to be vaccuumed out hardcore. it's disgusting. that's tomorrow.

also tomorrow:
-LAUNDRY... still haven't finished or hung anything up.
-cleaning the bedroom up. organize.
-spring cleaning the house before family members get here.
-getting ahold of jerry and andrea to invite them.
-getting ahold of my grandparents to figure out when they get into town.
-baccalaurette (or however it's freaking spelled)
-sign, shake and ring
-apparently going out again to celebrate.
-sleeeeeeeeeep

it's going to be a long day before graduation. joy. off to do some laundry now.

impossible means nothing to me

it's been a while. but the best part about this update is the fact that i can say i am done with my undergraduate college career! it feels amazing. i don't even know what to say to express how i feel. wonderful. :)

turned my work sample in last thursday. i haven't heard anything about it yet, but hopefully i will be getting it in the next couple days. i'm not super worried about passing it, but it has been a rough ride, which means really anything could happen. but i am thinking positive. :)

i get to go back and help in my 2nd grade classroom. :) it's weird but i am sort of excited about it. i get to be able to go back and just volunteer at my school for the fun of it. which i love that. i love the stress free opportunity to learn more. i love being able to work with the students that aren't my 6th graders.

it's crazy. it hasn't settled in that i am graduating and won't be coming back after the summer. i am out on my own in the real world. which scares the hell out of me. though i am so excited. it's going to be amazing. :)

read my first book of summer. or as donald called it, my first book of limbo, since i haven't graduated yet. speaking of which. saturday is the big day. it's scary but exciting at the same time. i'm so ready to be done.

i'm off to enjoy my time off before the summer job begins.

should have been more careful, i let down my guard

so much going on. not enough time to fully update.

current happiness: completed work sample.
current annoyance: stupid people who make drama, people in this house, and the want to be done.
current want: lots of sleep. hair cut. for conferences to not be tomorrow.

not really sure what i did wrong to make you angry or annoyed or upset or whatever you are. if something needs to be said, just fucking say it instead of avoiding it. that only makes it worse.

off to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep.

more later.
