separation anxiety

august 27th. 2:00 a.m.
earlier this month i got back from the Nichols family cruise to Mexico..it was a fun seven days filled with lots of food and sun, but i can honestly say i was ready to get off that damn ship. i love my family but I was ready to come back to my friends and diamond bar in general (yes i missed diamond bar.) i cant go anywhere without my brother and sister having to compete with me. it becomes quite bothersome when they make you feel like you are different just because you're not doing what theyre doing. i wont miss that when i move away for sure.
the summer is slooooooowly coming to an end. over the past week I have seen two good friends move away, with each one's departure having a different sense of disappearance. i wanted to throw a dinner for davis and patrick as they were the first to leave, so about 30 people went to BJs last week to bid farewell to these two guys that we love so much. for some, that would be the last they saw of them. i was lucky enough to see both of them everyday thereafter until they left, with davis leaving first and patrick leaving just last night.
patrick's was definitely more emotional for some reason, with a lot of one-on-one's and crying. everyone deals with losing people in a different way, and no matter how everyone reacted it is a fact that these two guys will be greatly missed. not having them around will feel weird and abnormal, but we all have to deal. sooner or later, we will all depart and begin this new adventure known as college. no matter how far apart we all are, i hope to God that I dont lose contact with any of the people in my life right now. I know it is inevitable that the closeness will not stay the same with some, but I sincerely desire to stay close with those people I surround myself with right now. I will never forget about my diamond bar friends, and i hope they will never forget about me. i have grown to be so close with the people in my life, and it IS possible for things to work out.
best wishes to someone very important in my life as they are undergoing something very serious today. May God protect them and bless them with a speedy and 100% problem-free recovery!

mood: creative
its been a while since i posted. to be honest keeping up with this shit is pretty hard
everythings same ol same ol. enjoying the long summer. lots of chillin, gym and work. got a raise at work makin BANK now and only have to work 3 days a week, still getting all my nights free. doesn't get much better than that. the days that i dont work/the nights are mostly planned around eating. once the eating times/locations are established we go from there. fat? yeah but its fun
ive become pretty consumed with the gym lately. like i feel pretty guilty if i don't work out everyday. its funny how this works because in the past i was kinda overweight for a year or so and all i cared about was losing weight. i never even worried about getting "big" or buff or anything but recently thats more on my mind than being "skinny." we're never happy with who we are or what we have in life. we are always begging for more and never content with what IS. this is something I must work on
last week was really interesting. some things i never expected to happen, happened and I don't know if it was something I should be proud of or something I should be ashamed of. I hope that the fall-out is not damaging for any party and I only hope that things fall into place as they should ~~
i leave for the nichols family cruise this sunday-headed to mexico! never been on a real vacation so i'm pretty stoked for it. cell phone will basically be inactive but i think i'll have internet fshooooo

My first post

hello to whoever reads this-
i never thought i'd be writing my own damn blog. im so gay. but whatever im just gonna do it because it seems like fun. and idk how often i'll update but no one will probably read anyway so it doesnt matter haha
well summer has begun and i must say it has been an interesting one. graduation was pretty emotional. never again will i walk the halls of diamond bar high. its been a long 4 years for me personally, and coming into senior year i really couldnt wait to get the hell out of there. high school hadn't treated me the best but i learned senior year that things can change so quickly. things i never imagined myself doing became realities, and i met people i never thought i would meet. i can honestly say it was a great year and at the end of it i was truly sad to see it come to an end. i know that this is only the beginning of my life but the fact that its over is pretty gnarly. the thing im most worried about is whats gonna happen with everyone after this summer. the friends i call close now may not remain close in the future, and its sad that theres basically nothing you can do to avoid that. yeah we'll meet new people but it will just be weird to not have the same type of relationships with people that we're used to.
now onto something a little happier. summer recap? well my summer is going pretty slow which is a good thing. its still june. uhh basically on tuesdays thursdays fridays and 1 saturday a month i work at this orthodontist office. its pretty intense im not gonna lie. i work from 9-5 usually and its not one of those jobs you can show up to drunk or tired. you gotta know your shit. i think im progressing alright though and everyone there is pretty nice and teaches me things so i can't complain. i like it.
the rest of the time i just chill and enjoy my last summer with my friends. my parents wanted me to get ANOTHER job in addition to the 21-28 hours i work a week. wtf? im effing going away to college in a few months and i need time to have a life also. i ended that thought way early.
i like to eat. im not gonna lie. if you're reading this you probably know i spend a grip of money each week just eating out. its pretty disgusting and bad but its damn fun and we have a good time doing it so what the hell. money's just money right? ....
im going to uc san diego september 20th. classes start 5 days later. i'm picking up my entire life and moving down south WHAT THE HELL. diamond bar is a lame ass town and everyone knows it, and San Diego is definitely a huge step up but i'm for sure going to miss little ol diamond bar. i went to UCSD orientation last week and it was pretty awesome to be honest. i love meeting new people and i definitely met a lot over the two days, and i could already tell i was going to love college life. its basically a non-stop party with the exception of classes and a couple hours a day of studying. i'm gonna miss home but i know college is gonna be great.
i could continue about what other issues i have in my life but i am pretty sure no one has read up to this point, let alone more. so i will save it for next time.
