Dear Myself,
Here are your goals to be completed by May 11. If you don't complete to these standards, you are stupid.
1. Turn in a damn good Life Drawing Final.
2. Write a really fucking good Self-Study.
3. Get over 80% on your CS 105 final. Yes, this means reading the entire book on Visual Basic Programming. Do it.
Love, Me

When I walked out of class to come home, there was snow falling. As much as I hate winter, it makes me smile when I'm walking in the snow. Its too pretty to not appreciate.

There is snow everywhere, and I love it. It was a horrible drive home, but it's so fun to walk Fifi and make new steps on fresh snow. People who live in it every year don't appreciate it as much as they should.
So after deciding to go snowboarding, sources tell me that I am really dumb. I know I'm putting some balls on the table here. There's no "going home". I'm gonna/forced to stick it out for pretty much 5 days with people I barely know, but I'm excited and ready and god damn it I'm gonna have fun regardless of anything that happens. Let's hope I don't fall off the ski lift..... seriously it's happened before. Good times. hah am I fucked? I guess I'll find out very, very, very soon!

If I could plan my ideal day on drugs, today was it. Walking through millenium park, looking a bunch of art, eating somewhere classy, and just cruising around doing nothing. Hanging out with people other than my parents in riverside is exciting. But maybe today was so awesome because I wanted to bone my crush the whole time. eh possibly.
I needed this thanksgiving break so bad. I need the sleep along with the separation from alcohol.
Tomorrow I voyage to Notre Dame. I should really squeeze in some work considering the week is going to be over before I know it. Eeeek. I want the semester to be O V E R. I also need a job. Okay I have too much to do. Today was muy muy bien. Okay thats it.

Summer is pretty much over. I love how happy everyone is the week before school. I'm really hopeful and excited for this semester! Hopefully this Sam bullshit will be over sooner than later. I feel like I should stop drinking for a night, but there really is no time. My throat hurts.
I'm really fucking excited for Saturday. I need to go purchase my outfit.

oh live journal, i dont know why i keep you anymore. there is never anything that amusing on chambana, and even if it is cait tells me about it. even if i were to fathom the idea of writing in you, im always really bored and anything i would say would be ridiculously pointless. you are easier to write in than an actual diary, but real diarys are way more awesome. who sits and bed and writes in their diary anymore. after reading go as alice i was like omg i should totally keep a diary and i'll be famous.
im retarded.
maybe i need a new layout...
but im so not good at that html stuff.
i don't even know if thats going to work. if it doesn't, i'll change it till i look smart...
so summer is not what i expected at all. like AT ALL, but i'm very hopeful for my future.

Every time Clag calls me to catch up I never have anything to say cause my life seems so boring right now, but its because everything is too awesome.
My family is happy. My dad is getting better. My sister is in Espana. Sam is the sweetest. I had my first 2 snow days. I love my classes. I love Dingo! I love my roommates. My future roommates are awesome. I went to the most awesome concert of my life. I'm on my way to becoming a teacher. If I had transfered to California, I wouldn't be with so many fucking cool people right now. ITS LIKE 40 DEGREES! And it's going to be even warmer this week :O) Oh Novato, California how I miss you.
Its a feeling I know will go away, but I'm gonna live it up as long as it lasts.

i still miss my old picture, i'll find it.
this week went by so fast, just like the rest. this weekend is pure homework and studying. i haven't done this in... ever? practically. i worked so hard last night that i am not looking forward to anything. BUT! john mayer concert saturday! i can't wait! valentines weekend will be amazing
i got a myspace comment from barrett saying "youre a horrible person" the other day. i love the reinforcement of why i left you. can you make it a little harder please? i wish we could be friends or at least civil. like i swear we went out for a year and a half, and we've both moved on. i would be nervous to see him in novato. i would probably hide.
anyway i need to do work. im totally stalling. i want celery :O/

For some reason I am watching America's Funniest Home Videos MUCH more often. Its fucking hilarious. Its a guaranteed good episode of tv.
Its really fucking cold out here. I hate winter so much. Its cool for like 3 days of snow. I only like winter when there are snow covering everything. But there is no snow anywhere. I'm so excited for this summer. The last two summers have sucked being in RIverside. I only be there for like 2 or 3 weeks MAX.
Things that have to be completed in 2007:
1. GO TO CALIFORNIA 2. GO TO DISNEYWORLD
the rest of my year will revolve around getting these two things completed.
PS Cait and I are going to have the coolest pet EVER!

Cait come hooooome! I'm sitting in my apartment with my sister and we are being completely lazy. We've watched a lot of TV and cleaned a lot.
I bought all my books today and I'm really excited for school to start up again. I love buying new books and new notebooks and organizing all that bullshit. I know I say this like EVERY beginning semester but I want to do well. I am going to do work in the library more often (Valerie you seriously need to make me do this) and I just need to put more time into my work in general. I got new art stuff today and it was exciting. I redid the posters in my room and I just want things to start up again. It's weird to think that I'm going to be here for a while. The next break is summer and I plan on staying here and taking classes so I won't be home for a while. I've lived in Champaign longer than Riverside so this is more like home to me. My "home" situation has been discombobulated for the past 2 years. I have been missing Marin so much lately its pathetic. I have to go back soon or I'm going to go crazy.
So my outlook for this semester looks good. I'm settled into my major and couldn't be happier with it. As long as I'm on my way to becoming a teacher I'll be totally happy. I think I'm one of the few lucky people who grew up only wanting to be one thing. I never debated being a vet or a lawyer or a doctor or whatever. I've always wanted to be a teacher since like forever. Thanks mom!

well now that valerie is going to write something, i have to write something.
my head hurts really bad, but i am going to write this anyway! cause its 07 and why the hell not.
so its now 2007. 2006 was fucking crazy, but it was awesome and i wouldn't have it any other way. its really warm for chicago winters which really fucking blows. cause if im gonna be here for winters now, i expect to have the classic midwest snow winter, not this lame kinda cold, but not warm enough to be warm winter. its sooo lame. the acura is out of my life. i now have a black 98 honda accord with a sweet drug dealer tint in the back. its pretty badass. 4 more days until i go back to champaignnn! my sister is going to come down for a night so we can booze up well. now that shes 21 it is very very convenient. she gave me her id while shes going to be in spain and she gave me like 8 other forms of identification including a riverside library card. i can't wait to pull that one out when they ask me for a second form.
tomorrow is my day of target! i loove my super target trips they are always exciting! i have my whole list of stuff that has been accumulating for quite a while now.
to cait: my mom is donating table cloth in hopes of us making dinners more and eating at the table. and! i learned how to make the best pasta and chicken meal ever! i will make it when we come back!
alright my head is pounding.
p.s. day 4 of not smoking and im debating if my cold and headache are because of it. but i highly doubt it.

so it totally fucking occured to me that im going back to school very, very soon. i love it. i'm gonna miss all the people i worked with up here though, tear. this summer went by very fast. i was sick of summer about a week before it started. i loooved the random reunions of the bromley crowd though. dude im watching fall out boy on snl and i suddenly feel like throwing up everywhere. i dont think thats a random coincidence at all. anywayyy, we got a new puppy today, her name is fifi, and although shes not sophies actual sister, they're related. shes just enough for us to get back to having a puppy. my family has been so drained the past week and a half. hey cait: 2 weeks. ahhhhhhh
snakes on a plane?!! FUCK YES! okay im done!

So I work at the zoo. Big stuff man. I don't do much and I don't really leave my little food stand, but I was warned that when I do I will be bambarded with a zillion questions from people about any zoo question that is on their mind. Today was my first day leaving my little hut to venture off through the crowds. I walked about maybe 50 feet and a family yells "DO YOU WORK HERE! WE NEED YOUR HELP!" I freak out and run over to them and I see a little bird trying really hard to fly away with absolutely no success. They told me it flew straight into a glass window really hard and fell. So the lady picks up the bird and hands it to me. By no means am I any sort of animal expert, so I look at the bird and decide that maybe I should call someone who can help. I went to the nearest phone and had someone call the keepers, but then the bird started shaking and gasping for air. It died in my hands. The little girl started crying and the mom tried to console her, but the little kids just kept petting the bird. It was really sad. I went back to Bear Gardens and told them what happened and they laughed at me. Why couldn't they just have asked me where the bathrooms were?

Today was the longest day in Rebecca Pelka history. I woke up, stayed in bed and watching hours of TV, got lunch out of the house just so I could smoke a cigerette. Came back, took an unnecessary nap that I blame on Cait, and yeah. I've been doing nothing at all. Now I'm gonna be up forever since I can't go to sleep before 12 without napping. Thank god I start work on Thursday.
ps. summer is 1/3rd finished. thank the fucking lord.
