Realistic Aspiration (past, present, or future)
1. Wanting to go to medical school
2. Wanting to go to graduate school/getting a bmen doctorate
3. Wanting to have lots of babies (boy before girl )
4. Wanting to get A’s on all my finals
5. Getting married to the right person
Impossible Aspirations (same as before)
1. I want to fly with my bare arms.
2. I want to transform into a boy for JUST one day to see what’s it like.
3. I want to meet Elizabeth Blackwell and talk to her about how hard her actions were to make. (first female doctor, just in case)
4. I want to be able to eat as much as I want and not have it affect my body composition.
5. I want to become so small in size (like on “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”) and go into a crazy man’s brain.
Things on my Mind Right Now
1. Norah Jones can melt my soul like a candle melts wax even though she is a girl. I wish I had a voice like that.
2.I forgot how good rainbow sherbert and sprite tastes when you’re sick.
3. I love being so independent.
4. I’m glad I’m not a baby anymore because I don’t think I would like the anal version of taking a temperature.
5. I can’t believe that some of my best friend’s are going off to graduate/medical school, and I won’t see them for a long time. :( :(
Things I Have Done (which is cool, to me at least)
1. Climbed a 14,000+ foot mountain in Colorado
2. Did a bunch of roundoff flipflops in a row
3. Met Bernadette Peters
4. Looked over the ledge of the World Trade Towers before they crashed down
5. Been to 4 ( i think) different countries.
I’m done for now. Have a wonderful day. :)
I changed the color of this page, if no one already noticed. I taught myself HTML color code, which I find pretty interesting. Ranging from the helical to the different letter/number combination codes, I find it pretty cool. I’ve always been fascinated with colors, but computer colors are just another realm which is mystical to me. So now, getting a bigger grasp on it is exciting. (Or maybe I’m just a big computer nerd hiding in girl’s body).
My friends and I were talking the other days about random dates that we have been on before, and it made me laugh about how random the dates I have gone on were acted.
Date #1: Boy picks me up. We went to the mall for a movie but arrived there 30 minutes early. So, we just walked around the mall until the movie started. I count about 5 times. We see our movie. After the movie, we went to Jack-in-the-Box where we indulged in Oreo shakes. They were good. Then, we went to Albertsons, where we walked and talked for about 30 more minutes, circling that store 10 times. My conclusion was that this boy likes to walk around in circles. How funny :)
Date #2: Boy comes over to my house. We go to a Diamond Shamrock because my mom wants a lottery ticket, and I want to show boy something I learned in Science Olympiad. It requires the purchase a water gallon jug. We do that and rent a movie as well. We get back to my house, and I empty the water out. I dry the container, and I start to cut it open. Then, I proceed to burn it. We both marvel in it. :) (if you don’t know what it does, you should really try it. It has to do with polymer sciences. Anything like a milk gallon jug will work. It has to be made of that material, otherwise, you will yield a different reaction). We watch a movie. It was fun
I just like sharing the weird parts of things. The rest is just details.

Of course, I’m back home, and the only thing that I can think to do is make a list. I love lists more than you know :). So, here it goes. Short and simple.
Things I Plan to Do Over This Summer:
1) Get my swimmer body back
2) Take summer school classes
3) Volunteer at a hospital
4) Make money at an “quasi-intelligence-needed” job
5) Reorganize all of my CD’s
6) Read at least 1 book (right now: Henry Sugar and Other Stories by Charles Dahl
7) Finish learning/memorize the 18 page/18 minute classic by Beethoven on piano. “Pathetique” to be exact.
8) Relax a superfluous amount.
9) Visit friends in various cities around Texas. (Known as: road trip)
10) Remember what sleep is.
11) Make a photo chain like I said I would.
12) Teach self Local Government and History of the United States so that I don’t have to waste time and (much) money on a class credit. (AKA: CLEP credit)
13) Go play in the park , but I HAVE to act like a little kid.
14) Get caught up with my Katy friend’s lives.
15) Play trumpet for church every Sunday.
16) Go to a water event (rather Schlitterbahn or the beach) at least once.
17) Reestablish my love for photography (especially black and white)
That’s good enough for now. It’s 3:22 A.M., I am done with school, and I have no creativity left in my right now. Very disappointing to me…very disappointing. So, I must go, only to be back later.
Right now, life is definitely on the up, despite the longing I have for some of my friends, but I’m sure that will pass after I tell myself that 3 months really is a short time. (okay, done) Even though I’m not sure where I may be going in life right now, it doesn’t really matter because I know that there is a reason for everything. It’s one of my pardigms, I suppose. The neat thing about it is that [I think] the events that happen in anyone’s life is significant to our development. For example, one day you randomly meet sometime, and you have a conversation with them. (e.g. that weird Appalchain Trail dude I met). I believe that subconsciously, I was impacted by this little meeting. I seldomly think about how different he is from me, but at the same time, it makes me realize how cool he actually was. I mean, this dude was getting a Physics degree and wanted to open a biscuit shop as his life goal. This just cracks me up, and I think it made an impact on who I could be, even though it was not that significant. He reaffirmed to me that you can be whoever you want to be. And I believe that everybody that we meet has an impact like this. All us can [probably] think back and remember people that we have met and how it impacted us. Another thing which is basically related is how we meet people to whom can be credited for introduciing us to other people. An example of mine is meeting Jenny, one of my friend’s who introduced me to Taryn, my best friend up at college . If it wouldn’t have been for meeting Jenny, there is no way (basiclaly) that I would’ve met Taryn (who by the way I can tell anything to). It may just be me, but I find this so fascinating how interpersonal relationships can be related to chain reactions. But that’s because I’m a nerd, and I like things like that. Enough philosophizing for now…it’s party time.
I have too much late night time on my hands, and my mind is in that, “I need to be challenged” kind of mode right now. So here’s a practice with words. They describe who I am on a basic level.
Ambivalent. Beseeming. Charismatic. Daedal. Eloquent. Frugal. Gregarious. Honest. Intelligible. Jovial. Kind. Loquacious. Magnanimous. Nice. Open-minded. Pulchritudinous. Quirky. Risorial. Salubrious. Tender. Unconditional. Vivacious. Worthy. Xiphoid. Youthful. Zealous.
Ambiguous. Banal. Cynical. Didactic. Eccentric. Frustrated. Ginger. Hollow. Incredulous. Jaded. Lackadaisical. Misleading. Nugatory. Overbearing. Pompous. Quintessential. Rash. Sarcastic. Topsy-turvy. Unwieldy. Volatile. Weary. Xanthochroid. Yearning.
P.S. Couldn’t think of a negative “K”and “Z, ” but I’m SURE someone in this family could think of one. And yea, I had to look up “Xanthochroid. “
Indeed I do. What time is it? 4:22 A.M. of course, wouldn’t you know. I swear I’ll go to bed after this. It’s just that lately, no matter how little sleep I get, I haven’t been tired at all. At least right now, my eyes feel heavy, but the yawning has yet to set in. (The yawning is the true indicator for me. )
Since all I’ve been doing on this blog is random things that gives da readers hints about what my life is doing, I guess I’ll do that now.
Since I’ve got back home for the summer, things have been pretty good. I’m still looking for a job, but I think I’m going to get the one that I really want. :) I have been exercising now because I have time. YAY. It’s bad though. I think I’ve been exercising too much. I don’t do it because I’m concerned about getting fat or any of that, but I just do it because I’m bored, and it’s just something enjoyable to waste time. For example, I have been both running and swimming. Last Saturday, I left the house with my Sister Hazel CD and a good (but very worn) pair of running shoes. I didn’t know how far I was going to run, nor did I care. Turns out that I ran 6.6 miles. (Don’t forget that this was in the summer heat at noon.) On Tuesday, I also went for a run, with the same mind set—not really caring how far. This time, I ran 8.5 miles. I think I’m going to go today, and maybe I’ll go 10 miles or something. The world may never know. Heck, I don’t even know.
Also, on Sunday, like any good Catholic, I went to mass, but I partcipated by playing the trumpet. It was really nice—just being able to use a God given gift to serve other people. I liked it. Something that’s really cool though is that Michael De La Garza (the musical director for the church) said that he would like to do a brass quintet. This would be sooooo awesome. Not only do brass quintets rock, but it’s for church. Nothing can get better than that.
Tonight I made a photo chain out of clothespins and a clothesline. Not only am I satisfied with how cool it looks, but it’s also one of my goals that I set for myself this summer. I’m not doing too poorly for the list. Yay. When I have the time, I’ll put up pictures that I took.
Also tongiht, I signed up to be a Swim Angel for the Danskin Triathlon. (I tried to sign up for a relay, but the registration closed). I think this is going to be really fun, and I can hardly wait. It’s such a good cause, and it makes me happy knowing that I can be part of it.
I also saw Osama tonight. He is one of my closest friends, whom I can practically tell anything to. He is also the one person whom I would call a “perfect gentleman.” Sometimes I wonder why I was never attracted to him in that kind of way. The way he treats me is the epitome of what I would want a significant other to be. It’s cute. Even though we’re just friends and stuff, he never lets me pay for anything—although I always stuff money in his wallet. He treats me like an angel, and once in a while, that’s nice. Things aren’t going to be the same without seeing him next year.
Well that’s enough for now.
Ich wünsche, daß ich in den Wolken war, die hoch oben schweben, hat keine Sorgen, wohnend einfach mit den Engeln.
