how i was fooled by my secret santa!

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 =)

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! =)

my very random sunday adventures...

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...

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!!
