This break has turned out to be a lot of things I didn't expect it to be. So far I have slept in only 2 days and I haven't watched TV at ALLLL. Weird huh? that's what I had planned, tv and sleeping. oh well, its alright to spend your breaks with family i suppose.
now i have 4 days before i leave for idaho... so i better be absorbed with friends, cuz this is all the time i got left!
hmmm... worrying i spent too much money too on presents....

i've been feeling awesome lately. just enjoying the summer vacation. this is the longest summer vacation i have had in um... 7 years? so its a little weird to get adjusted to do nothing all day. i normally don't like that, but i am doing alright. for example last night, which was a saturday night, when i normally get really antsy if i don't do something, was awesome. and all i did was stay in and watch a movie!
partly good because of mcavoy. i really like him he's super awesome and even though geoff thinks i am retarded for dating him. i dont care! cuz he's dorky and likes me when i am dirty and burping. sweeeeet.

i got called out this week to my first fire. it was a mass of insanity. i never realized how much personnel staff is needed for fires to handling the planning, finance, time-cards, checkin, breakdown, operations, logistics, media, information, etc... and i became one of them. i worked 86 hours in the past four days. whabam, 46 hours of overtime! two nights in a row i went to bed at 2am and woke up at 4. um, woah. but i met a lot of great people, a lot of higher brass appreciated my hardwork and in the end i had a lot of fun.
but here i am now in SC for Jeff's memorial. I look forward to going and seeing a lot of people i havent seen in a while.

So I have been in summer now for about a week. In those past few days I have:
French-kissed a girl
Kissed a guy who I was crushing on for a week
played disc-golf for the first time
seen 4 movies
spent over 800$
went to the bars 3 times
drank one beer every night for the past 6 nights
played spin the bottle and truth or dare with a bunch of drunkies
made 3 beer runs
been to the beach twice
here's the thing... its driving me crazy! i want to go to class, or work, or something structured! All this free time is killing me, and it's bad when i get bored because then my brain starts working its little magic and i end up making all kinds of sexual references and assaulting people...

ps. Santa Cruz homies: I will be home monday or tuesday.

ohhh my god! Dead week is over! i dont think i can express the joy i feel for being done with all my projects, papers, etc. Now all i have is finals week, and i love finals b/c compared to my regular school week finals is just a walk in the park. i found out friday too that the classes that my hardest finals will be in, i have A's. so aaaawesome, means much less pressure to study. which aka - i am going to the beach today. schwing.
work is also done. which although i love work, excited to be done with all the craziness.
i had my karate final today. woo i am a green belt i think... not sure. Q7, whatever that means
now all i need to do with my life is show up for my finals!

so memorial day rocked my socks. the 11pm to 6am drive to shasta did not, but it was definitly worth it.
just a very sunny weekend spent with some of my best friends, eating, drinking, wakeboarding, tubing, boating, hiking and being silly. it was just good times all around.
got back late last night and realized i had to start my life again. oh joy!
Sigh. two more weeks til school is out. waiiiit, i am done like in a week actually cuz its tuesday and my finals are over on tuesday. ooohh snap, summer here i come.

Damn you Friday class. I want to be at lake shasta right now with my other friends. but noooo, i have to wait until friday. grrrr.
i am feeling tired. for no reason. i slept like 9 hours last night but i feel exhausted. which is all part of a larger trend of feeling this way the entire week. i sleep a adequate amount, and then i just feel really tired. I dont really know what's causing it, cuz i dont have allergies, i am not on my period, i am not depressed and i am only under moderate amonuts of stress. maybe i am turning into a mutant. sweeeet

Got a new job hopefully so I won't be stuck in San Bernardino (aka, hell) counting beetles this summer. I just realized how much i was not looking forward to summer which is a total change for me from doing scouts to all of a sudden being like, 'ugggghhhh... this is gonna suck!' BUT! I applied for a new job. Got it. Now i just gotta get the old job to release me. I will hopefully working in La Tour State Forest which is right between Lassen Natl. Forest and Redding. I will be there from July 1st through Sept. 1st so that means i get some summer time as well in santa cruz. Woo! a whole month!
The boy situation gets more confusing by the day if you ask me by the way...nothing i can publically talk about, but if you know what i am talking about. its confusing.

i have been doing a lot of thinking recently about the summer and my internship down in San Bernardino. something just isn't sitting right with me. it feels like i have to keep convincing myself to stay with it and do it even though there's a whole part of my body that is screaming for me to not to go through with it. the two big reasons i am staying with it is because its 15$ an hour, and i already said yes so i'd feel guilty about not doing it.
on the other hand, its in a place i don't want to be in (so.cal), in a living situation i don't want to be in (living in a town, with a shared living/shower space with 5 guys and no privacy) and in a community i don't want to ecologically work with (desert conifer... i want real forest). i don't know what to do.
i feel like every summer since i can remember having summer i've had this whole summer long obligation of being down in Pico. although i've loved it and wouldn't ever change that, i've missed out on a lot of freedom that summer offers. i never go places, i never have time to do cool things, and every summer for the past 4 years i have never gone to the beach although i live in Santa Cruz! its like i am locking myself into this 'responsible' track of working and internships and always keeping in line with the career path, and i know when i graduate i will find a job right away and not want to dilly-dally and then i will be locked in the system for life! I WANT SOME FREEDOM! If i had some more money, i would just say fuck it to my whole life right now and travel around to idaho, montana, etc. seeing things, checking out forests and different small towns i've never heard of. that's what i want to do. but i cant just exactly leave and do nothing... or can i? people do it all the time, and i feel like if i don't do this now i will never get the chance for this freedom again...
oh i am utterly confused.

Hell yes. Went to San Juan Batista and went I guess what you would suppose 'bar-hopping' in SJB, although it was only one bar. BUT IT WAS AWESOME. Oh there was drinking. Oh there were awesomely tangis locals. Oh there was serenading done to me by Hans. Oh there was dancing with Rosemary. It was a night to always be remembered and enjoy the simple beauty of San Juan.
Stoked!
Hmmm... go back to SLO today, and have a shit load of homework. gross.

[02 May 2006|07:34am] |
so my summer plans have finally been laid down. most of you don't know this but everytime people asked me 'so what are you doing this summer?' it would send me into a mild panic because i didn't have a job laid out and no prospects. but i got a job! go me!
i will be working in San Burnardino, Riverside and LA counties study bark beetle and its effect on Southern California forests. You may not know this but SoCal is in a declared state of emergency from the bark beetle which has literally killed 2/3 of the conifer trees down there. so there's this huge federal grant to study the effects and make silvicultural plans to remove those trees and make the stands healthier. so wee! i get to do that!
eww, i have to work in SoCal though. Sucky for two reasons, 1 i will be in SoCal. 2 because it will be really hot! I don't do well in hot!
Anywho, if any of you want to know what I am doing...that's it!

so if any of you have tried to hang out with me late at night you would realize one thing, i am a weenie when it comes to staying up. i totally can do it when there's lots of stuff going on but if i am just chillin' it's not possible. i go to bed at 10:30 everynight because i have to wake up at 6:30 for school, so i am just used to that kind of schedule.
problem now...dating a bartender. the boy has the most rediculous schedule ever. goes to bed at 4, wakes up at 1. likes to call me at like 12am. hence, i am way tired.
this whole situation is weird. i forget there's another woman and we only have small little bits we can see each other. which always makes me feel dirty and gross. :-(
GEOFF CALL ME!

So I met the blind date guy last night! Super hot!
I went out with some friends on mine from class and we went to the bar he works at. He and i ended up talking for like 6 hours and then went for Denny's after the bar was closed. Weird thing is he lives a block away from my house, so when he wakes up he's coming over for omlettes.
I am super stoked! yay!

so, i have a 'date' with a frat guy to go to his formal (yay, if you know anything about me...you know i love formals). and i have a future date with a guy who just broke up with his girlfriend, and they live together. so once he finds a place, i have a date with him. both situations are weird, cuz its nice i am going out and there is stirrings in my 'guy-shpere' of life, but both of them are like 'ummmmmm not quite'.
i have my grandparents coming in this friday, which is weird because they are so religious and proper i always feel uncomfortable and like i am messing up. then the parentals come into town the next day, which i am actually looking forward to!
also, my adorable brother is graduating friday and coming back to the West! Woo!
Geoff if you're reading this, that means you already agreed to come visit me at school, you have no choice. thought i should let you know.
