Change of Plans

On Monday i was basically [no...flat out told] that I could not survive working in a Non-Profit Organization [like PETA]. Not because i could not do it, but because my earnings would be miniscule - all this was done during advisement for [what i thought would be] my final semester.

My courses are already so limited, so when I went to advisement, we looked at the courses available [and guess what - i have already taken them ALL]. Which basically forces me into apply for the MSA [Masters of Science and Accountancy] program. All i wanted to do was graduate and go work for PETA. Maybe that dream isn't so realistic [but hey i have until May 2012 to change my mind - the expected graduation date].

Like everything else in this world - things change.

So as of this moment, I am in the process of applying for the MSA program [and when i say process - i mean waiting for the board to approve my submission]. I think its a conspiracy - they kind of forced me to applying to the MSA program, by taking away course i need to complete my degree plan.

I use to think that every time i changed my plan - i hit a metaphorical pot hole. [that the universe was out to get me]. And maybe [just maybe] its "one door closing and another door opening" - the right one

A promise

I admit that my mind hasn't just been on school or work. It may have drifted to love.

I never had that romance, and my heart aches for it. But i realized something recently; he may never come - and where does that leave me. Here, waiting?

So i promised myself that i would work towards my future, then worry about finding love, or having love find me. Nobody has romance anymore, it seems extinct now. I want that love i read in my books, the way Mr. Darcy felt for Elizabeth, Jane for Mr. Rochester, Anne for Captain Wentworth, etc. What ever happened to that love.

So for once in my life, i will only focus on me. My schoolwork, my work, my body, my way out of here.

I'm gonna seize the day, everyday.

Valentines Day

Usually I am like Scrooge on this particular day. This year i decided to change it up. I wasn't mad at the world, I didn't feel a sense of loneliness when i saw couples. Instead....It was the best day EVER!!!

Why?

Because Josh Groban announced his world tour! (All together now) AHHHH!!! Jess and I weren't able to go the last time he went on tour. So we are making up for it....in a big way.

For the longest time, Jessica was the one with income, therefore she was the one purchasing things for me. Gas, Food, Clothes, Movie tickets, etc. So now its my turn. Since (in my opinion) I'm better off. Not that she is poor. Its just, i don't pay rent. I don't buy groceries (I have though, and a vegetarian life is pretty cheap) but i don't have certain obligations that she does. So I purchased the tickets. And we didn't just get ordinary tickets. We got AWESOME tickets. I can't remember what package we got but its a good one. :D

The concert is in exactly 3 months. We just bought the tickets today. I had to join "Friends of Josh Groban" in order to get into the pre-sale. But I'm glad i spent the extra $$.

Finally, something on my Bucket list gets crossed off.

February

Its been 38 days since I've had meat.

Although my dad may have given me a hard time during the transition he has grown accustomed to it. And is now concerned when we go out to eat if there is a vegetarian dish for me to eat.

Before January ended my sister and I traveled up to San Antonio to visit our older sister and her family and to help move her into her brand spankin new house. Lots of boxes to unpack. Our main duty was to help her unpack the kitchen. We got a lot done, basically because we were looking for stuff in particular which lead to more stuff. But sadly in the process i got a paper cut on my chin. Yes that's right, my chin. You know that scene in "I love Lucy" when she climbs into the big bucket and steps on the grapes or whatever it is, well we decided to recreate that scene. Jessica climbed in to box and started squishing the paper, which helped a lot because we were able to put two box full of papers into one box and then some.

In 50 days I'll be 21, I'm super excited. More of the fact that i can walk into Fast Eddies and not get marked.

School is going well. I kinda wish I would just graduate so I can leave and start my own life. Hopefully in Virginia or somewhere around there. Me, Pudge and Chiquita. Just us three :). I sometimes don't want my CPA but for the wrong reasons. I do want it, it will open a lot of opportunities. Its just......it'll keep me here a few more years. I'm not to sure. Maybe I'll double major, Accounting & Marketing, since that's what PETA is looking for.

Only time will tell.

But for now, I'm just gonna continue being myself.

Vegetarian. Student. Pet owner.

Me.

New Years resolution

So they new year is almost here, 3 days to be precise. In 2011 I will be

!!!!

Also, I've decided

Yep, that's right, I'm becoming a Vegetarian. And I'm really excited, a new challenge! I've already given up soda, so I'm hoping i will be able to do this.

Although, some have their doubts i have the support of my two wonderful sisters and my cousins Robert and Victoria.

But you may ask why am i giving up meat? Actually I am not so sure why. One day i saw my next door neighbor kick his tied up dog up against the house. And it was so sad. And then i decided that i wanted to work with an organization against animal cruelty. And one know organization is PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). They have real jobs, in business, and I'm business major!! So it seems like fate. However, they....what's the word....they favor applicants who have a vegan lifestyle. So for now I'm going towards the vegetarian lifestyle, and maybe someday.....be a complete vegan. One day at a time.

But another reason, I've been trying to lose weight for quite some time now. This lifestyle i hope will help with it.

But like i said, I'm excited!!!
