Inside Janell's Shoes

mommy and janell time

2008-03-15T17:12:00.000-07:00

My mom and I are really close, she is like my best friend...We have our good and bad times like most mothers and daughters but she is pretty awesome! Lately I have realized that my mom and I are very much alike (kinda sccary lol)...but my mom is awesome and has great acheivements so I dont mind being kinda lke her =)...Recently I have been so busy with school, friends, and just doing my own thing that I havent spent much time with my mommy. So Friday night I decided to have Mommy-Janell time on saturday..it was awesome!

First we went to on the border for lunch/dinner and ofcourse my mom was flirting with waitor..damn margaritas lol...she claims she wanted him to ask me out..but really who does that lol i love my mother...after stuffing our faces with great food and yummy dessert we went home to watch "evening" i got it from netflix like 3 weeks ago and finally we got the chance to watch it. It was a really sad depresin movie but mom and I kinda liked it lol...after "evening" we saw "coyote ugly"! one of our favorite movies!

Overall mom and I had a great day/night together..we got to spend quality time (my first love languge), we got to talk about a lot of stuff (words of affirmation were involved lol #2), and she played with my hair and hugged me during the movie (#3 physical touch)..does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? lol all my love languages are given by my mother lol w/e yo its the best!!! she'll never leave me! lol

to sum this up I just want everyone to know how awesome my mommy is! she has helped me through my toughest times and put up with all my crap...and still is...she is the best! I thank God for her everyday...my dad is great but God knows we need my mom at home lol....After spending saturday with her I wanna make more time for mommy-janell time cause she deserves it and sadly one day (many many years from now!!) I wont be able to spend time with her so I need to get as much as I can now!!

this is mommy and janell

what lies ahead...

2008-03-10T19:30:00.000-07:00

This morning I signed up for Summer classes at Dade...Most of you know that it will be my last semester so I am packing together al the classes I need because if not I will be left with one or two classes for the fall and it's just not worth to be behind one semester if I can do it all together...

I almost started crying while I was typing in the reference numbers lol...I am taking Microbiology and the Lab, Statistics, Social Environment, and Sociology...Most of them are hard and the one's that aren't too bad are time consuming!!! I am officially going to die lol no I won't but I'll want to die! But I actually feel good about..i feeling optimistic because I know it's something that I want and need to happen...jeez I can't imagine the day that I am an FIU student!!! I'm excited for the next step as a student because soon after acceptance to FIU comes the acceptance to Nursing School (God willing)!!! Although I will be goin crazy this summer it will all be worth it in the end.. I am just fraid of becoming discouraged at the first sign of being overwhelmed which is bound to happen while taking 5 classes lol...But I feel lucky to be able to go to school because I know many people that can't afford it or have to work and thank God I ahve te money and I don't have to work!

Thank God I have an amazing family that supports by bumness and amazing friends that are always there to cheer me up!!! It will not be an easy summer but I know you all will help me get through it with your prayers and encouragements!!! =) and by the end of the summer we will all be celebrating!! whoop whoop party! (anyone feel free to throw me a surprise party lol)

I am the new Spider Woman

2008-03-04T12:06:00.000-08:00

This morning as I was walking to school it was rather windy so my hair was blowing everywhere!! it was all messy so I go into the bathroom before class..I use the facilities and wash my hands..i check my hair and fix it..it was great I was back to looking normal =)

Well when I walk into class I sit in my seat get my books out and get ready to write notes...I have this bad habit of constantly touching my hair, so there I go and touch my hair but then I suddenly feel something hard and crispy in my hair so I go and I run my fingers through my hair again and attempt to take out the hard cripsy object in my hair...IT WAS A FREAKIN SPIDER!!!! I dont know of anyone who has had a spider in their hair..bird poop, yes, leaves, yes, sand, yes...but not a spider!!!! So ofcourse I freak and make a crying squeel noise (yannick knows this squeel lol) but not too loud cause I dont want others thinking im nasty for having a spider in my hair...But ofcourse the two great looking guys from the class saw me and laughed..And when I threw the spider on the floor the girl next to me looked at it and looked at me with a face of disgust...Exactly what I was trying to avoid..So I just look at her and look at it and pretend like it wasnt in my hair. lol I was soooo emberassed. I wanted to cry! lol But it was so funny I wanted to laugh/cry!

My next concern was what if the spider bit me..Would I become spiderwoman?!?!? Would I become a freak that no one talks to and not be able to have friends or family because they would all be hurt by my enemies..ooo dear! And then I thought about if the spider lay some eggs..I have baby spiders growing in my hair!!! aahhhh! I hate my life!!! lol I hope none of you ever have to experience this..Its aweful!!! uughh

this was the evil being that was in my hair!

this is what I will look like when I wake up in the morning! lol

lol i love american idol!

2008-02-27T17:24:00.000-08:00

so by the title of this blog you can assume it's gonna be a funny story....

I shall begin with adventure number 1 which took place on tuesday during our mornign run... so there we are running down 104 st chit chatting, minding our own business when suddenly we run passed this older lady and she puts her hand out and stops paula lol so obviously we stop to see what she needs...she looks at paula and says "well what size pants are you? (random anyone?) lol and she replies "medium" and the lady says "i have 3 pairs of pants in my house that my daughter bought me that are to tight on me but they will fit you" lol we start laughing ofcourse and paula says "thank you ma'am but we are just running" and the lady continues to say " but ill give them to you at a bargain price" lol we laugh a little more and paula says again "thanks but we are just running" so the lady points to the neighborhood where she lives and says "thats my house there if you wanna look inside" and then we both say "thanks" and run for our lives!!! lol pobresita i wonder if she was waiting for us?? well we were definitely not going to go there!

tongiht for our short run we decided to go to the hammocks lake which is 57489 miles long...lol so we start running and come to the point where the bridge is and its already dark and it is both our first time going through there so we didnt know where else to...so we go under the bridge in the dark and the cars above us drivning over it are making scary sounds. so we cling onto each toher right away and turn around quickly and paula says "becareful there are no vampires..because in argentina there are" lol sooo i start laughing and say "vampires? really?" and she goes " ooo no i meant bats" lol but no worries we got back to safe location and there were no bats or vampires...but we decided we arent going there anymore at night..its just not safe lol

so stay tuned for mroe funny stories from the adventures of paula and janell!

what does it take to be right with God?

2008-02-26T19:37:00.000-08:00

lately i have been questioning whether or not i am right with God. and i have realized none of us are really 100% right with Him. we all lack one or more things to reach that ultimate goal..the only way to get there is to be Jesus and i dont see that happening anytime soon lol.

i struggle with so many things, such as, my everyday devotional, praying, having my priorities straight and other things... i feel like i dont put God where He should be which is first..and He is definitely not first in my life. it's funny cause i find myself wanting soooo many things and then i wonder why they dont come..and i dont mean like jessica simpsons shoes or a wallet which i do want....but more meaningful things that i really need in my life

i need prayer from you my awesome friends cause i am struggling with a battle within and i feel like i am losing. satan is really getting at me and i am so angry cause i see it all falling apart before my eyes and im standing back and letting him win...it sounds corny but i need to grow some balls and stand up to satan and let God take control. if anyone can fix it God can...

so before i go to sleep tonight i will have a long talk with my homeboy and try to set somethings straight....and before you go to sleep say a little prayer for me =)

running is an acquired tatse

2008-02-22T11:19:00.000-08:00

today i started running and as most of you assume and it wasnt too great. i feel great now but i didnt in the process. when i woke up this morning i was ready and pumped (yes pumped) to go running noone could stop me (not even the reatrds that honk when they drive by). special thanks to queen for keeping me going. when i started running i felt great, in my mind i was gonna run like an allstar athlete and very quickly i was reminded that it takes time to build myself up. eventually my breathing got a little difficult and a short time after it became difficult my lungs decided they didnt want to breath anymore. lol soo i stopped and began walking. no worries i started breathing again =) i am hoping running will get better and better like an acquired taste because its somehting i really want to start doing to lead a healthy lifestyle...

pretty soon ill be doing triathlons and ill be this amazing runner who everyone wants ot be like lol!!! wait for it! =) dont worry ill give you all my autograph!

when harry met sally

2008-02-18T11:39:00.000-08:00

last night i had the chance to see "when harry met sally" for the first time!! i know i know i'm a little behind! it was amazing!!! i made dinner for yannick, merari, and anne marie..tried to make dessert (dont wanna talk about it) and then we watched one of the best movies of all times!

i love meg ryan and she was amazing in this movie..i have never really liked billy crystal, mainly because of his hair =/..but ooo man in this movie he was a stud!!! let me tell you i have seen a diferent side of billy crystal!! he is my main man..well not really but w/e he's up there lol take a look at this hot stuff...

one of the best qotes of the night was: ::::read on screen::: harry connick jr...yannick: i love his last name...janell: which one connick or jr?!?! lol

and the best scene in the whole movie although a little "dirty" was the fake orgasm in the diner..so heres a little look at one of the many laughs we had last night! =)

for she's a jolly good fellow!

2008-02-15T13:04:00.000-08:00

2008-02-14T19:47:00.000-08:00

Today I had the opportunity to spend Valentine's Day with the best girls in the world!! Merari, Lauren, Anne Marie, and Paula =) It's amazing what great friends can do on such a lonely night! lol

To start off the evening we all went to eat at Samurai..Let me just say MMMMMM YUM! we pigged out completely and enjoyed every bite!! Samurai is my new fav restaurant! They give you soo much to eat and the food is amazing! I loved our cook, he did all sorts of tricks with the shrimps and the rice...oo lala!! He was awesome!

After dinner we went to the movies at saw "Definitely Maybe"!! It was soo good!! omg What a tear jerker!!! It was a perfect end to a perfect girls night!!! Except that isn't where it ended...

When Merari and I left some business went on which is never to be spoken of lol and then we went to McTonalds for sundaes =) the girl working there was extra chipper and ofcourse I commented "she mnust have a really great boyfriend" lol cause you know I'm not bitter at all...

But no really..you girls are amazing! And having you all as my Valentine's Day dates is more than I could ever ask for! This has been by far the best Valentine's Day ever! And I will never forget it.... I love you girls! You were all the perfect dates!

2008-02-13T13:26:00.001-08:00

window shopping

2008-02-12T18:32:00.000-08:00

today i had the pleasure of going to the mall and help merari find a birthday outfit!! whoop whoop she's turing 21!!!! It was awesome and exhausting because we went to 54758943 stores and ended up buying the first dress she tried on lol but the worst part was not being able to buy all the things i needed...ok no i dont need them but i really want them!!! lol i havent been working lately so my money supply is at an ultimum low =( I found a whole outfit today that i wanted to buy it included this amazing dress

and these amazing shoes that i am dying to buy!!! and ofcourse i cant afford them so i felt like crying!! Window shopping is the worst thing ever!! it is funny cause when i do have money and i need to buy something i can never find somehting i like or that looks good...but ofcourse when i dont have money i find everything i want but i cant buy!!! i hate being broke!!! its the worst!!!!!! so if anyone feels charitable i am accepting any money for contribution to my want for clothing!!! =)

random roses

2008-02-06T14:55:00.000-08:00

this morning i woke up late as usual and in a hurry to get ready for school. i was already in a bad mood because my first class was anatomy in homestead!! uhhhh!! so when i come out of my room my dad tells me "janell, go look at your car" and i'm thinking it could be one of two things..my tinkerbell dog reappeared or some retard wrote all over my car (which by the way i hate) and to my surprise it was neither!!!!! someone left roses on my windshield with a note..i thought hhmm who could it be...and just the thought of having a secret admirer made me sick to my stomach and i suddenly got a stomach ache!!! lol my mom ofcourse was like "omg!! how sweet" and i was like uuhh barf!!! but not really cause the idea was sweet i just felt like barfing! so as i got ready for school i went down the list of people i thought it could be my first assumption was coia...WRONG! so i ended up thanking the wrong person!!! lol embarrasing!!!! after i found out it wasnt him i was dying to find out who this person could be. Later in the morning my brother eric sends me a text with " in case you were wondering it was bryan montero that left you the roses"...and i was like ??????arf??????? lol and then i remembered that last night bryan and i had a mishap..which i thought was taken care of but apparently he didnt feel it was enough so he brought me roses =) it made me happy and i want to thank you bryan for being sooo sweet and bringing me roses!!!!! but for future reference write your name on the note so i dont go crazy trying to figure out who it was!!!!! lol to conclude this i think every girl should have flowers left for her by surprise...it makes us feel special!!! (when we know who it is)

yannick's bday!

2008-02-03T20:14:00.000-08:00

yay for yannick!!! it's his birthday!!!! i think i was more excited for him then he was for himself! but w/e lol yannick is one of my fav people and like anne marie did on my bday i wanna dedicate a blog to yannick!!! =) he is awesome (sometimes like when you dont act like a girl and do the eye thing) and he is always a great friend!

today we started off the day at church, laughing about things we changed meanings too just cause they were funny.....later in the evening we went to watch Rambo...which i think was amazing other than the little asian children dying!!!!!! after the movie we went to eat at this great pizza place on miracle mile (good choice yannick). we had the best waitor EVER! his name was doug and he always smiled and make a weird laughing noise after everything he said!! i gues you can say i kinda fell in love with him!!! lol he gave me a free drink cause he forgot to put in my order...what a sweet man i tell you!!! sooooo yannick!! i hope you had a great bday cause i know we all had a great time with you!!! and i hope rambo was all you hoped it to be!!!! =)

ethics fight #1

2008-01-28T13:53:00.000-08:00

This semester I am taking Critical Thinking and Ethics as part of my requirements for nursing school. When the class began it wasn't what I expected, actually I didn't know what to expect at all. My teacher has to be on some sort of drug but he is amazing!! he yells out his lectures and makes the best faces EVER! (kinda reminds me of me lol). so there is this boy in my class that my friend and I call abercrombie boy (he comes to class everyday in abercrombie pajamas), well this a & f boy ALWAYS has something to say and usually I disagree with him and his arguments. The teacher always makes the awkward face I make when the a & f boy wants to talk because he knows he is in for along discussion lol. So to the point of blog today we were discussing religion and if there is one way to believe and one religion that is right. And ofcourse I know the answer to that but I wasn't going to start out an argument and have everyone gang up on me...mainly because I don't have enough knowledge to fight these heathens! lol During the conversation one girl starts quoting parts of the Bible and at the end she says "and a whole bunch of other crap that contradicts itself" and I immediately grew defensive and said "well you're ebing ignorant because you are reading what you want and not the entire pasage and what it really pertains too" and sooo I won that argument because most of the class agreed. Then abercrombie ofcourse opens his big mouth and says "the Bible is crap" so the I turn around and say "I am not criticizing your Bible so why are you criticizing mine...it's just a matter of respect and you should be a little more considerate" uughhhh people like this make me so angry!!! I dont go arounf hating on their releigion and beliefs (maybe I hate on them but that's a different story) I do not agree and support them but I respect them. Uusually after class a & f boy comes out and tries to talk to luly and I but toda he didn't =) i scared him lol!!! so be on the look out for many more of my battle with people in this class!! =)

i would give up my arm for him!

2008-01-22T20:56:00.000-08:00

On sunday I went back to work for the first time in a month!!! good life you say? mm not so much. I've been poor and swamped with school work, but that's not the point of this blog.

I'm putting in a few hours in the Oncology unit with the cancer patients for the next couple of weeks and to my surprise I absolutely loved it. The first time I worked there I kinda had a bad experience but it was all different this time around. The nurses were amazing and the patients were one of kind. Especially this one kid! He has sickle cell. This disease causes someone to have a lot of pain therefore pain meds are essential. He wasn't even my patient and he made a huge impact on me. He is hospotalized quite often and in order to get his pain medication he has to have an IV access. Well his veins aren't all that great so it is hard for them to get a good IV in. On sunday night his IV blew and he was in a lot of pain so they had 3 different nurses come up and poke him about 10 times. Finally I took him down to the ER to see if they had better luck. Man I complain when they take my blood and this poor boy gets poked 12 times before he can get his pain meds. While down in the ER I saw the pain in his eyes from all the pokes and just the pain he was in and it killed me! In that very moment I wished that I could give him my arm. It sounds foolish but I would have done anything to ease his pain. I didn't even know the kid I just wanted him to feel better because he is so full of life and so restriced from all his greatness! Thank God the nurse was able to get it and his torture for the night was over! This kid is amazing, I spent more time with him that night and found out he loves scrubs and he had the seasons there so every now and then i would sneak in his room and have a laugh or two with him. Even better he told me he wanted to become an Oncology nurse to take care of kids like him. I'm telling you this kid is amazing and I hope to see his greatness shine through to the world cause he has a story to tell and I know he will impact many!! ahhh the joy of working at such an amazing place!!!!!=)

the voice of truth is my inspiration

2008-01-09T18:21:00.001-08:00

On the way to school the other day I was listening to casting crowns on my ipod (thanks to merari) and as I was listening to the song called "voice of truth" there was a certain part that caught my attention.

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling meTime and time again. 'Boy/ girl, you'll never win!'"You'll never win"
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

I am a person of little faith..sometimes I try and fool myself but it is just something I struggle with. This semester I am battling with my 2nd attempt at college algebra and I just dont believe I can do it. Even before I went to the first class I set myself up for the failure! So when I heard this part in the song it gave me a breath of fresh air...

So what I am going to do is print that part and put it in the front of my math notebook because everytime I feel myself losing faith or feeling like I can't do it I will be able to read it!! Because I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth!!!!

The Constitution of Non-Hating

2008-01-04T18:31:00.000-08:00

Article One

Thou shall not make sarcastic comments towards someone's physical appearance.

The use of words such as idiot, stupid, moron and/or any other demeaning word towards someone's intelligence shall not be uttered in front or behind the person or persons or group of persons to which it would be directed to.

Using racist or stereotypical slurs is hereby prohibited.

Snickering and/or giggling while people walk by is just as bad as ill-speaking of them.

Article two

The use of the rolling eye movement shall be forbidden in public places.

Pointing and obvious gestures used to make fun of other people will not be accepted.

Laughing at the less fortunate shall be frowned upon.

Article Three

Thou shall smile when entering a room, regardless if they are friends or not.

The smile shall not be obviously fake, and the eyes shall not give off a "hater" look.

When someone begins conversation, thou shall not make them feel inferior

Don't speak in public if thou are not ready for the challenge. This may cause thou to utter words that will cause failure to your mission.

If a negative thought runs through thy head, simply acknowledge it, and then let it go. Do not speak it, or let it be known by facial expression that thou has had a hating thought.

Keep mind of thy facial expressions because people interpret them differently and may not understand the jest in the expression.

If all else fails, simply sit on thy hands, and bit thy lip, while smiling, of course. Thou does not want to give off negative vibrance.

Disclosure :

If thou is commited to this constitution, there will be great success.

If thou happens to fail this mission, thou shall be known as a hater who will become the old lady that lives with 7 cats and yells at the little children who run by her house. Thou shall not be loved or know love, except by her cats. Thou shall die a cold, lonely and miserable death. Not even God will want thou.

So go with God, and go in peace.

Shalom.

my trip to north carolina!

2008-01-02T19:17:00.000-08:00

i officially love living in the mountains!!!! this trip was an amazing time with my family!!! we got together with our uncle loui and his wife sandra and baby isabella! sad to say but i kinda wasnt looking forward to spending so much time with the family lol but to my surprise i really think i needed it...i had alot of time to think, which made me realize soo many things! but that's another blog lol

when we first got there the cabin was BEAUTIFUL!! except the furniture (my barf sound) these people do not know how to decorate and the poor realtor heard from my dad more than once!!!! and on top of that we only had the disney channel to watch oo and local news!! ppsshhhhh what is wrong with these people!!! but in the end it worked out because thank God loui and sandra came along and made everything sooo much fun!!!!

thanks to my tio and tia we got to do all the tourist things and went skiing!!! which in itself was a disaster!!! i wish you all were there to see me walk down the mountain in ski boots!lol no i didnt give up that easily...mimi and ricky taught me the basic moves so up we went on the ski lift!!!aahhh!!! the first fall happened at the get go...right off the ski lift! lol but after many falls and almost tears i finally made it down the mountain like a champion (a bad champion but w/e) and so i went for the second run..i did much better this time..so after this i decided to take a break and have some lunch!! my ego was built up and i was all excited!! so i decided to go and do the other lift (which was supposed to be just as easy...WRONG!) the stupid lift left us at a stop i had to slide down which i didnt know how to do! so fall number 5467, i thought i broke my knee!! lol long story short i failed that time and had to walk the rest of the way!! =( but at the end of the day i had the bruises and the pain to feel like a champ!! =)

new year's was a big deal because we all knew eric was going to propose! so not only was he nervous....we were all nervous!!! we had dinner at my aunts house and played catch phrase with all the old folks (thanks lauren) most of the time was spent on the old peoplegetting the right angle of the word to actually see it lol.... and then just after midnight eric got down on his knee and asked lia!!! i admit i shed a tear...but only one!!! she said yes ofcourse! and no worries the ring is beautiful! i helped =) so now we have a wedding to plan! yay!!! she claims she wont be a bridezilla but with me involved ill drive her to it lol!!!

now we are almost home and i cant wait to get a full night's sleep...cause since the proposal all i hear is "i'm getting married" at 3 in the freakin morning lol!!!

this trip was amazing!! and much needed for the family and especially for me!!!

how i was fooled by my secret santa!

2007-12-23T16:52:00.000-08:00

so i know i wrote a blog about keeping secret santas a secret and how corrupted the whole system is but i must confess i couldnt help myself this time around!!! but it wasnt my fault!!! to my defense merari started it all!!!!

at kat and lennys party was when i first heard the gossip of anne marie and merari speaking of it and i believe they were speaking of me...but then merari SWORE to me that she had lauren..and in these past two weeks ive been trying to help her figure out whats good to get lauren!!! and it gets better...she allowed me to act as a fool trying to figure out who had me!!! psshhhhh i resent you for it merari!!!!

but then after thinking about it, it all worked out cause she knows what i like and there was much personal thought put into the gift!!! it was the best...along with anne maries gift!!!! so in conclusion i dont think everyone will keep shut about secret santa ever because none of us can keep secrets.....

Guide to studying finals =)

2007-12-14T16:51:00.000-08:00

So this past week i had the pleasure of studying for finals!!! it was great fun...NOT! but at the end of it all it was great success!!!

the first thing you should do is take pictures of all the models you need to learn in the lab and upload them on your computer =) then find a starbucks and load up on coffee! next you should find a study group...a fun one not a boring one that only wants to study lol (kinda ironic ehh?) then you wanna find an isolated area like the business building at FIU around 9 30 pm and sit in a classroom all night. When you're brain is about to explode play your ipod fullblast and just dance like christina and meredith do in grey's. If that doesnt work then take a 20 min nap but only if necessary!! after the dancing finish up your snack from starbucks and by this time it is maybe 2ish am....after the snack talk about things that make you happy and then get back to studying!!! around 4 am go home and sleep for 3 hours, that way you can wake up at 7 and go to school to study some more....

And then finally right before the exam break down and cry and freak out cause you think you forgot everything and then pray and go TAKE YOUR EXAM!!! this routine definitely worked out for me cause i got a 95 on my exam...so this is just me giving a little bit back to the community hoping it might work just as well for you as did for me! =)

yesterday i had a major exam in my anatomy class at mercy hospital. my test was at 10 and since i got out early i went to west kendall (miami baptist) for the 11 am church service.

upon arrival i immediatley find merari and sit behind her and her mom...we were completely distracted because everytime something strange happened she would turn around and we would laugh..i seriously felt bad for the viejos behind me they must have been distracted also! after the service since i had to go to the mall and merari had to get beth a wedding gift we went together. on our way to the mall we stop for lunch with yannick at chilis...where we had the worst waitor ever! merari ordered a soup and he brought her a salad...yannick got charged extra for fries and i got what i wanted lol but he messed up the bill!!! we tell him exactly ho to divide it and he comes back and says oops i charged 9 on meraries and 30 on yours (i cursed him in my mind and with my facial expressions ofcourse)!!!! but it was all good cause since yannick had cash he gave it to me....

after lunch we went to the mall and we're running kind of late so merari tells me to go to the bridal shower and im like nooo way! i wasnt invited! and she says who cares just crash it with him and youll be my date...which worked out pretty well cuse we won the bouquet game....so i crashed the party and i took a gift..ppsshh i won it lol

After the party lauren, merari, and i decided to go to Coral Park Baptist for the concert that yannick told us about....merari and i said ppssshhhh why not there might be hot guys....WRONG! there were alot of, how should i say, viejitos....let's just say after 2 minutes (literally 2 min) we "went to the bathroom" and and ran out....things were not what we expected....sorry yan =/

finally went to barnes and noble and met up with rey and looked at magazines and drank coffee and just enjoyed "spreading the word" as we call it....

but at the end of the day i am greatful for the time i spent with my hater mate merari and my one and only lauren....good times good times!

what to do...

2007-11-18T19:13:00.000-08:00

for the past couple of days i have been going to fiu to study for my ginormous anatomy test (which by the way i did awesome) thanks to anne marie my study buddy and no thanks to yannick who doesnt understand the concept of concentration!! lol i have officially fallen in love with the campus and this is where my dilemma begins... i recently realized that i need to start taking action and decide what school i want to go to for nursing =) yessss im finally there! i graduate miami dade this summer God willing...soo all the talk i have made about going away and what school i want to attend is becoming a reality! and honestly i am kinda scared =/ since i graduated varela i have been saying that i want to go away for nursing school but the closer that time gets the more i wanna change my mind! i am a mommy and daddys girl and i think they made a pact long ago to make my life easy and comfortable so that my attempt to fly free into the world would fail...and i think they might win. some may say that is reason enough to go away and become independant and i agree 100% but like i said im scared!!! i cant even go away for 3 days with my friends without missing my parents!

now because life moves at a fast pace and things are around the corner i need to start seriously planning and praying for God to show me where he wants me to be...i am hoping he will give me an obvious sign like leaving a note on my pillow or decorating my car overnight with the school i should go to =) wouldnt that be awesome!!! but seriously i need to stop trying to run my life and let him do his thing...i really need to trust in Him and let Him lead the way....

and while waiting for God to deliver my message i will be making a pros and cons list for every school i want to apply for and go from there...so lets hope for this to be easy (but ofcourse why would it...my future only depends on it) aahh dont i love being a grown up!!

waiting on the sickness

2007-11-13T19:27:00.000-08:00

for about a month now my mom has been telling me to get the flu shot cause i work with sick kids and they come to my unit first when they are at their worst...but ofcourse i say "no mom! im immune to their diseases!" lol ppsshhhh WRONG! my other arguement was that sometimes after getting the flu shot you get a little cold and i don't have time for colds school is insane and theres no time for sickness....but now i realize my immune system isnt strong enough to fight off respiratory infections and buggers from babies ( who LOVE to rub their nasty snot all over me)!!!! now i am in great suffering because for about a week i have been feeling like im getting sick and it wont come! i have had a fever and my body aches like i have gone to the gym (which i sooo havent), im super light headed and feel like passing out, and im just exhausted! on top of all my symptoms i had a super sick baby that i had to be with most of the day because she was alone but she had a major respiatory infection and because she hated me (even though i fed her andchanged her) she still coughed and spit up and sneezed all over my FACE!!!! my freakin face people! and so i questioned my choice of profession but i got over it after a long shower....and now it has been a freakin week, and nothing! it needs to come! i think its waiting for a week when im full of exams to hit me hard!!!! tomorrow is my free day so im hoping tonight in my sleep the worst will come and i will wake up dying so i have all day to stay in bed =) and then i can get over it! soo yea guys pray it up!!! lol tomorow i will update you on my status...hopefully it worsens...=)

the wonderful world of disney!

2007-11-08T13:17:00.000-08:00

so this week i had the pleasure of going to orlando w/ jenny and merari =) disney is the happiest place on earth...for EVERYONE. after long conversation with merari we agreed that no matter where you're from or what you like disney makes everyone happy. old people, babies, children, and adults all with smiles on their face! i wish i lived in a world like disney...so when we got to disney we had a plan, the plan was to go and party but everything was 21 and over and instead of enjoying orlando we preferred staying in bed all night and all day watching movies! we are such viejas!but one thing we did do waseat way too much!!!! omg did we eat! but it was ok we were on vacation! =) here are some of the things you all missed this week:
1. when jenny sees a new lane open she goes into it even though its an exit we don't wanna get off at

2. jenny + 2 excedrin+ a coke= completely anxiety and no sleep (for anyone)

3. merari: IT'S FREAKIN FREEZIN IN HERE, MR. BIGGLESWORTH!

4. look i'm glow in the light!!

5. did you smack my butt? no i just had a crick in my hand! lol worst movie ever!

6. standing in the middle of hardrock and having them say happy birthday to me!
lol

7. merari tells the cop: we are in a hurry cause i have a midterm to take in miami (and ofcourse cop doesn't care)

and soooo many other things that were sooo much funnier in person!!!these girls are amazing and i would do it again in a heart beat!!!!

p.s. we missed you anne marie!

a week of NO sleep!

2007-11-03T21:04:00.000-07:00

my brain is fried and i have not slept in days! there are so many things to worry about and to do and on top of it my studies are keeping me awake and i believe that the trees outside my window are alive! since the past couple of nights have been quite windy the trees feel the need to make strange noises on my window to scare the crap out of me! it got so bad i even sent eric outside to see what it was. these trees are talented i tell you! and to make things worse my satellite broke and i cant watch tv at night....now if you know me well then you know that i have to sleep with my tv on (specifically on nick at nite =) ) so the past couple of nights season 3 of grey's anatomy has been playing on my tv ALL night and i miss roseanne and the cosby show!!! i need a full night of sleep and sadly i dont see any of my situations getting any better =( my dad wont cut down the trees (cause they dont bother him ofcourse)....and i have to wait for dad to call directv to come and fix it (which ofcourse doesnt bother him either) and school pppssshhh it's only getting worse! soo pretty soon youre gonna see me look like this...

hopefully my mind will get so tired soon that i'll have to sleep a full night! until then i am an insomniac!!!

tip: beware of crankiness and be very afraid! lol

trying to be a good student!

2007-10-29T15:04:00.001-07:00

so today i woke up and decided i was going to get out of bed and go to school to do homework. So i did just to find insane amounts of frustration!!!!! I went to print out my math homework and when I finally figured out how to do it, it says i have insufficient funds so i have to go put my lunch money in the machine =/ when i finally have the work printed i go to the AMAZING college algebra math lab for help where i come to find the biggest math tutor jerk IN THE WORLD!!! i already know i'm an idiot yet he felt the need to reassure me of my stupidity by telling me all the things i should know and how i'm not gonna pass my test.. soooo then i said PPPSSSHHHHH and got up and went to this sweet looking lady and come to find that she too was the devil. She handed me a math book and said read and walked away!! lol this is when all the curse words ever invented start running through my mind!!! After this terrible experience in the AMAZING college math lab i went to the intermediate lab where everyone is loving and caring and helpful and finally completed my math work =)
So people DO NOT go to the college math lab at dade...they hate everyone!!! lol

Loss of Faith

2007-10-28T15:42:00.000-07:00

Lately I have found myself questioning the good and bad things that happen to me and other people around me...and I have no answer. Some people say karma and some say it's God's will. And I'm at a point where I just don't know anymore. I see people around me being hurt for things they don't deserve and the more I try to save them the more I see I can't save them. So then I try to leave it to God but it's killing me that He's not making it better either. I know He has a plan but why do innocent people have to suffer. I guess this is a test in my faith and others to truly believe that God will take care of His people. And I am a firm believer in that if you leave it up to Him He will take care of it...I'm just losing faith. But I will continue to follow Him because I need to find the light at the end of this tunnel and only He can take me there.
