it's been quite a long long time. i have been busy as hell, to say the least. this semester i'm in CORE which i know means nothing to you, but it's hell. for a bu smg student, core is the hardest semester of school any of us will ever have. it's basically a team of 8 students building a company and creating a completely new product. so..yeah. it sucks more than i could ever say. BUT, companies and recruiters absolutely love it. so that's good i suppose.
speaking of companies and recruiters....GABE (aka the most wonderful person in the world) got a fantastic job offer from GOLDMAN SACHS, which in the business world means: OH. MY. GOD. and....as you may know, goldman sachs is headquartered in NEW YORK CITY! which means...gabe will be close to me next year..weekend trips will be common...and i will get to know a new city. i'm so incredibly excited for him!
ah, and oh i forgot. this summer i am going to be studying abroad and interning in london!!! another great city and a great job.
i guess that was a feeble update at best. i miss CA people desperately, by the way. call me? IM me? i miss you guys

you really don't know what you got 'til it's gone.
i must be really superly 100 million percent positive of what i've got, then. i've had to say goodbye to gabe so many times, whether it be at an airport, train station or t-stop. i sure am tired of it. but alas, it's life.
anyways many a thank you to everyone who wrote, emailed, called, sent me gifts or flowers (my sexy beast, ellen) or flew-out-to-boston-to-surprise-me-but-beth-talks-in her-sleep-so-she-blew-it (also my sexy beast,GABE) for my birthday. i had 3 tests, a 7 page paper, and a biz stats project due in that span of about 4 days, so it was hell but it was nice to know you all cared!!
probably the most important reason i'm writing is to make sure you california people out there don't forget about me (AND I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE) wahhhhhhh. but no, really, i haven't really seen that many friends since we all went our separate ways (except i went a REALLLLLY SEPARATE way.) :(
i am really missing home though. since i visited gabe in texas for spring break i haven't been home to my mommy, daddy, kitties or mazie (william either, i GUESS) since january (aka THE BEGINNING OF TIME) and now i'm really feeling it.
and also, michael buble's has recently released his new album and i am, of course, obsessed. he makes me all crazy inside.
SO, with all of that in mind. go listen to HOME by michael buble. it's dedicated to everyone in california i have (temporarily, of course) left behind in pursuit of a higher,and, not to mention, extremely stressful, education.
( California, this one's for you )

hmmm...well..a lot has happened. finals are rapidly approaching...and i go home december 21. it's been snowing...i love that about boston. makes everything seem so much more christmasy
i've been having a tough time trying to figure out why everything is the way it is. i go to school in boston. it's a great town. full of life...close to other major cities like new york. it's the perfect place for me....but i'm also in a long-distance relationship. which is the hardest thing i've ever had to do. hands down. words can't even come close to describing how it feels. on the other hand, though, being here has made my life so full. i met gabe because i came here and gabe goes to school in texas. ive gotten to explore boston and the rest of massachusetts, new hampshire, new jersey, new york and texas and san diego/del mar has become a second home to me. im a frequent flyer/train rider. i travel. i'm a nomad, if you will. ok..so..im not a nomad..but i do count myself very blessed for everything boston and bu have given me. it's just so confusing...it's like some cruel joke someone is playing on me....i have this amazing guy but we are always far apart. when im here he's either in texas or san diego. when i'm home in l.a. he's either in texas or san diego. sure, del mar is only about 1 hr and 40 min away from h.h. but still. i feel like i've finally found the person i've always dreamed about and i appreciate him and love him more than anything and yet there are so many mindless idiots out there who get to be close to their boyfriends and girlfriends, who get to share the college experience together and, most of all, do not appreciate it. it's quite the frustration for me.
not to mention i feel like im losing touch with everything and everyone back home. i miss my friends. i miss lizzy and ellen...i miss everyone...even the annoying people. of course, when i get together with good friends it feels like there's so much to catch up on. it's sad to think we are all living out our lives without those we used to feel so close to (and still do when we are together.) i'm afraid everyone has moved on and forgotten how much fun we used to have and how good of friends we once were. i miss you guys.
and to add to it all...i have been planning on studying abroad in a fabulous study/business internship program through BU in IRELAND spring of next year. studying and interning in the UK at an established and multinational company....it's perfect for me...it'll look great on my resume and will be the experience of a lifetime.....but i will be missing so many things. gabe's graduation from UT, william's graduation from los altos, my 21st birthday....all will be spent in a different country, far far away from everyone i love.
ay..it's a mindbender, really. enough confused and delirious babbling...i hope everyone has had a great semester, or quarters..or whatever you crazy UC kids are on. oh yeah...we better hang out this winter break. or i'll kill you.
wow that was the longest entry...like...ever.
please excuse my lack of attention to grammar, spelling and appropriate use of punctuation...it's been a hell of a week.
I've stood alone in New York City
I've watched the sunset in L.A
I ride for miles and miles and end up getting nowhere
But I've never felt this way

i went out without a scarf this morning and now my lips and cheeks sorely regret it....emphasis on sorely..blah. oh well. i'm coming home soon! yay! i miss you all!

this was a summer like no other. it was amazing...my best ever. i'm glad everyone was able to make it on saturday and thanks so much for the wonderful gifts. i had so much fun! plane leaves at 1:15pm tomorrow. i don't actually start school until sep. 3rd..but the fam and i are going on a mini vacation in cape cod. so yay.
i got a new cell phone..and now i can get text messages (verizon) but i kept my 562 number so everyone can call me without long distance charges! :)
i'm gonna miss my best friends but after this summer i'm more sure than ever that nothing (no, not even 3000 miles) can tear us apart. we did a lotta fun things this summer..movies..warped tour..just hung out and we even went to hooters!! love you guys no matter what and no matter where!!

WARPED TOUR (on wednesday) was fun!! yellowcard was really good live. i listened to them a little bit before..but never thought they would be that good live...even though i'm not too big on 'pop-punk' kind of bands..i was impressed by them. rufio was ok..of course ellen talked to them. and they were cute. haha. mmmm. but melee wasn't there!!!!!!! rahhh!!! we watched PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN right after warped tour. it was funny and orlando looked incredibly attractive. yowza!
my best friends never cease to amaze me.
every time i look at this icon i laugh because ellen's laughing her ass off, i look like a greek comedy mask, and lizzy's head is big. :)
this entry was pointless. oh well! go summer!

umm...hmm...so much has been going on. BU orientation on june 17-20. does anyone know a good airline with good frequent flyer program?? continental and ATA suck. jet blue is awesome but doesnt fly to boston!! rahhh!! gonna try american next. orientation was fun. girls were pretty annoying and gossipy. didn't like that...so talked to guys mostly. i'm kinda afraid because i didn't really make friends like lots of the other people. i love the school of management though. i'm glad we got to spend time with other school of management students. but scared that b.u. school of management is called "the BOOT CAMP of america's business schools" *shiver*
then bought HARRY POTTER at the airport!!!!!!!!!!! it was awesome in case you were wondering. read it too fast though. now i'm reading 'the complete collection of oscar wilde' which is good too.
then laptop came!!! yay for dell!!! :)
went to venice beach with ellen and lizzy. that was a good ole time. went other places with them..haha..don't quite remember..it was all fun though. :)
olivia got a part in les miserables in fullerton. shows begin in mid july. that should be fun. congrats to liv.
charlie's angels in pasadena with liv, con, lizzy, and ellen.
westwood last night with connie. her sister and her sister's friend took us..they went clubbing. we walked around looking for a movie theater. but they were all doing premieres!! stupid legally blonde...limos..people in tuxes. so we walked around...ate..saw a guy in a nice car pee right on the street near kathy's friend's apartment. haha...got home at 4 this morning..hehe..
umm...curtis just called and maybe gonna go to the beach with him..and dunno who else tomorrow. sounds like fun to me.
then 4th of july...maybe parade? maybe it's too early for me..haha..then..dunno.
then party on saturday.

ok..so..we broke up. it wasn't really breaking up exactly...we just ended it. we had to. it isn't the right time for either of us. so busy..and..yeah. gonna be going far far far away soon. not sad or anything...we don't hate each other. in fact it's the exact opposite. we're still gonna hang out but..just not as a 'couple'..haha. who knows? maybe one day....
after 2 months...i'm single again. it's not so bad at all...so don't go feeling all sorry for me. :)
but i'm sorry to my lovely friends. didn't really talk about it with anyone. it wasn't that kind of relationship. it felt like it was just us...like..i dunno..haha. ahh...can't really find the words to explain beyond that. cheesy? yes. but true. hehe.
"who was to know, the way it would go
I have no regrets
Glad I let you in
Wouldn't have missed one single moment
I would do it all over again
Some people search their whole lives
Never find what I found in your eyes
Glad I got to get the chance to
Have you in my life
I won't be sad when I look back
'Cause I was loved.
And I learned what love is from loving you."
now..i have the whole summer ahead of me!! THIS SUMMER IS GONNA KICK SOME MAJOR ASS!!!!! :D

i never thought i would feel so strongly about a school and a city like i do b.u. i feel like that is where i'm supposed to be. for the next four years at least. i guess not everyone knew..but i went to boston university's school of management open house this past weekend. i love the city, i love the people, i love the school and i even love the weather. i know i'll miss the beach..but..i like the cold. needless to say i had a great time and i've made my decision. i feel so confident in next year. scared as hell but confident.
anyways..lizzy..i took pictures for you! but i can't find my link so i can't upload them!!!ahhh!!!
now..back to the stress of this year. at least it's almost over.
one last thing(shallow as it may be)...SO many cute guys this weekend. i think it's because there are sooo many colleges in the area..so lots of young people..everyone is more than welcome to a visit (or two, or three) next year!

moms say the darndest things:
(while sitting in hotel in BOSTON): are we near New England?
holds up ONE bottle of soda and asks: do you want some of these?
(talking to me): that's not no way to talk.
hahahah...just had to post this....my mom is hilarious

earlier today as i searched for flights and a hotel room to/in boston i realized not only how scared and excited i am about college, but how fast this year has gone by. i need to start spending more time with the people i care about because by this time next year i could be reflecting on my first year in another state on another coast and wondering how my high school friends are doing.
thanks everyone for the birthday wishes and gifts. this weekend was fantastic, even with tonight's confusion.
to my friends: don't be afraid to come to me with anything. time's going by too fast to waste time being angry and confused because some idiot decided to tell lies.
