I (may or may not have) partied so hard this weekend that my pneumonia came back.
I'm falling out of synch, falling out of synch
and quickly becoming self-destructive: academically, physically, and sort of emotionally. Queen of Swords style.

I bought a Nook today!
I decided to do it in the span of two minutes. Why? Because Barnes and Noble didn’t have Mindy Kaling’s book in stock and I wanted to read it; NOW.
I’m an impulsive person but I think this time it’s okay. =^.^=

In perpetual anxiety...explained.
I did a presentation a week ago about a book (I kind of read) titled Coming of Age In Samoa. It’s basically an anthropological study of the lives of teenage girls in “indigenous” Samoa in comparison to the development of U.S. girls.
Their physical processes are the same. What’s different is the environment.
In Samoa, there exists, really, only one way to do things:...
Sometimes I forget that
one of my group members in Cultural Anthropology is fifteen years old. (Until she reminds me.)
Me: I hope our professor doesn’t cram a midterm before the final. I feel like I haven’t learned anything in the past two weeks!
Her response: Well I have. :)

Like me!
I’ve always sought to be liked. Not in a fake or obnoxious way but in a humble and sincere way. (I hope that’s how it comes across, anyway.)
And so basically, it worries me that I come off as a high and mighty bitch in my English class because a) I’m the only Honors student b) I can’t shut my trap during our book discussions because a) I actually do the readings every...

Quitting my job tomorrow.
Kohl’s seriously sucks you guys. Don’t ever work there. Deuces.
I'm so overwhelmed. :(

¡Edúcate!
It’s refreshing to watch Latinos on Spanish television bring up viable concerns about the education system in the United States. It’s no train wreck (as much of Univision’s programming is) but more than that, it’s quite inspiring!
Well,
it really looks like things may be turning around. I’m not beating myself up anymore (although I still find it hard to give a sincere smile) and as of an hour ago, I have an interview at Kohl’s on Thursday. I’m sure it will go well; although Kohl’s isn’t ideally the place I’d like to work at, I’m in no position to be picky. I hope I get it. It’s...
Takin' it to tumblr...
Car accidents are embarrassing more than anything. Obviously what’s most important (although at the time, it doesn’t seem like it) is that you’re alive or at least uninjured but the varying levels of stupidity and guilt you feel afterwards don’t change; whether you’re in an ambulance or on the side of the road receiving looks of pity from passing cars (as was my...
SOC 1
I’m just kind of wondering if ‘Intro to Sociology’ is a universally interesting class or if it’s just me? Because I find it absolutely fascinating. I look forward to the class every day, our textbook is fantastic, and the readings we have for homework every night are always interesting.
I don’t know if this means I want to major in Sociology? It’s just really...

Bacilos - Mi Primer Millón
1/2 = 2/4
You know when you are so used to something that you become immune to it? And it bothers you but you don’t do anything but accept it because “that’s just the way things are?”
I feel like the wife whose husband beats her but she still loves him and she keeps telling herself that if he does it one more time she’ll leave, she really will, but when he does (they always...

that weird moment when:
your windshield is your wingman.
yes, because i decided to water-splash my windshield while stopped at a red light on windfield (it was dirty), you can bet your ass that two blocks and a moving-conversation later, we got us a number from the car next to us.
you can find it under “hot black/mexican guy” in bianca’s phone.

warm blooded
what began as a necessary, desperate escape from my house last night turned out to be a really fun time! picking up eddie on the scary east side, just driving because we had nothing to do, hitting a village shopping square where they were having a community movie night, seeing the cutest kid we’ve ever seen in our lives, beginning geocaching, alex being psychic and joining us for geocaching,...
today, i take my behind the wheel test.
i would be nervous (shoot, i kinda am!), but i can’t help but think of it as funny:
1. because i am not prepared
2. because i’ve been driving illegally for two years
3. because a day before my exam is the most legally i’ve ever driven. as in: permit, tags, and insurance?! dang mariela…
(not posting this on facebook because will be embarrassed if i don’t pass but...

I MISSED A CALL AND VOICEMAIL FROM KOHLS WANTING...
ugh also home depot wants to interview too but i’d rather get kohls. hiring manager please interview me pleeeezzzzz i can’t pass up this opportunity of strengthening the already ironic relationship between this store and my family.
i am way too emotional
i almost cried during mitzy’s fifth grade awards ceremony.
one: because she is growing up too fast. two: because she didn’t get any of those stupid math and reading awards. three: she doesn’t need any awards to be proud of what she’s accomplished, she’s the coolest kid in the fifth grade; i just hope she knows that too. four: these kids have no idea how much harder...
And the job too.
You know when things are running just a little too smoothly and there’s a little piece inside of you dreading, but awaiting, for something to go wrong? Why.
Why does something always have to go wrong?
Ugh, who am I kidding? I’m the one who needs the luck, not Tito.
