I feel good.
dun na na na na nuh.
I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with my grandma. We spoke completely in Spanish (ok save a few "como se dice______'s"). She understood me! Usually my horrible Spanish and her lack of formal education in Spanish hinders us from being able to really communicate in Spanish but not this time! I am on a total high because when you come from a family of native Spanish speakers (as in English as a second language) it's really nerve racking to try and talk to them in Spanish for fear of looking like an idiot. Anyway, I feel SOOO good right now and I might be tooting my own horn a little too much but I don't care because my grandma said she was proud of me :)
oh and Amanda, grandmas says we need to practice speaking Spanish together more (cada semana).

because i'm a COPY CAT
You are a Bette -- "I must be strong"
Bettes are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.
How to Get Along with Me
* Stand up for yourself... and me.
* Be confident, strong, and direct.
* Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
* Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
* Give me space to be alone.
* Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
* I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
* When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.
What I Like About Being a Bette
* being independent and self-reliant
* being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
* being courageous, straightforward, and honest
* getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
* supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
* upholding just causes
What's Hard About Being a Bette
* overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
* being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
* sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
* never forgetting injuries or injustices
* putting too much pressure on myself
* getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right
Bettes as Children Often
* are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
* are sometimes loners
* seize control so they won't be controlled
* figure out others' weaknesses
* attack verbally or physically when provoked
* take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings
Bettes as Parents
* are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
* are sometimes overprotective
* can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

friday fill-ins, even though it's technically saturday
I know I should be saving more money, but online shopping is calling my name. It's seriously hard to resist (which is why I've been giving in lately)
2. The longest month is always the last month. The last month of school, the last month before seeing kyle. Yes. the last month is always the longest.
3. You can't help but be weirded out when your boyfriend's dad joins facebook [specially after what happened this summer].
4. 1 biochem test, 1 genetics test, 1 Spanish presentation, 1 spanish quiz, 1 physics lab quiz, all in ONE WEEK!? Bring it on.
5. Where have you looked for my camera? Because it cannot seriously be that hard to find! And I need it in two weeks please.
6. Money is now available. Which is part of the problem for #1. I'm back to work, work, working away and I love it! It feels great to be designing and carrying out research experiments again :)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to(already did) relax and enjoy some roomie time. We snugged on the couch and watched the office while our brownies were baking. Tomorrow my plans include laundry, paying my credit card bill, applying to UTA, biochem, genetics, Spanish, and sleep. Oh, and HIP HOP ABS!! And Sunday, I want to go to Rivertree instead of Christ's Place and finish all the homework I didn't get to on Saturday.

Procrastinationx1000
OK, I hate the first part, so skip it if you wish, but I'm not wanting to do my biochem or genetics so here goes. ALSO, if nothing else, you tube the songs at the end. They're amazing.
TEN THINGS I WISH I COULD SAY TO TEN DIFFERENT PEOPLE (but don't say their name):
10. We are basically the same person, except you're funnier. I love you and miss you. ALOT. I think we'll have to live next door to each other for the rest of our lives because I don't know how I'd make it without you.
9. You're ridiculously good looking, and an even better kisser :)
8. You are sure to be a lifelong friend and I couldn't have handled this place without you.
7. You are the one person I love talking to about anything and everything. You always give me solid advice, say man that sucks when there's nothing you can help me with, let me cry to you, and keep me from being ridiculous and irrational with Kyle. Who says men and women can't be the best of friends?
6. My goal this semester is to find you a man. Preferably Rob. I love you, we're so similar and it's great.
5. Ok seriously, enough. I don't have anymore people to write about!
4. Oh wait, one more. I'm so proud of you! Going back to school, cleaning your life up, getting it together. You're making your mom proud :)
NINE THINGS ABOUT MYSELF:
9. I'm bossy. (I'm not telling you that by the way, I'm singing you it)
8. I'm opinionated. I don't care if you want my opinion or not, I'm giving it.
7. I love to dance in front of the mirror in my room. Especially to bspears and lady g
6. I'm working on this whole letting go of control thing. It's hard.
5. Just Friends and Nacho Libre are the greatest movies of all time.
4. I have a heightened sense of smell and I hate it because I smell the worst things, all the time.
3. I'm not going to lie, I'm difficult. I like things my way, my way, my way. I'm also working on this.
2. I'm always dissatisfied with my looks. It's hard for me to accept my appearance for the way it is. I always wish I was different.
1. I make mistakes. ALL the time.
EIGHT WAYS TO WIN MY HEART:
8. Be Kyle Kendrick.
7. Be tall and skinny with glasses.
6. Let me cry to you, on you, and use your shirt sleeve for a tissue.
5. When I'm being a brat, tell me.
4. Quote funny movies (or ridiculous reality tv) with me as much as possible.
3. Eat everything I make.
2. Let me borrow your clothes (I'm doing this as friend stuff too, not just mushy boy stuff)
1. Eat sushi.
SEVEN THINGS THAT CROSS MY MIND A LOT:
7. School.
6. How I will graduate.
5. When will I ever get married, or just be engaged (but I try not to think about it too much because every time I do the date gets pushed farther and farther back).
4. GOD
3. Kyyyle.
2. What should I wear today (not that I dress cute, but how can I stay warm and look only slightly disheveled)
1. Will I really get into med school?
SIX THINGS I DO BEFORE I FALL ASLEEP:
6. wash my hands.
5. wash my face.
4. take my meds.
3. brush/floss/mouthwash/retainer
2. make sure the thermostat is at set at 75

3. Katelin
4. Aimmee
5. Ben
FOUR THINGS YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT
4. my planner, complete with colored pens
3. nail polish
2. sports bras
1. milk
THREE SONGS THAT YOU LISTEN TO OFTEN:
3. I Feel Home- OAR
2. Hosanna- Hillsong United
1. Out of My League- Stephen Speaks
TWO THINGS YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE:
2. Completely change someone's life.
1. Have a child.
ONE CONFESSION:
1. I love finding out secrets about other people.

85.62
a B+
I was really hoping for an A-
but I have another test next Wednesday.
Redo.
Also, I bought some super cute (and pretty hilarious) vday cards for Kyle. I can never buy just one. I'm up to three this year. If I find one that fits us (me/him) then I just have to get it. Especially if it's funny. Also, I'm working on a craft project for him for vday. We're not really the mushy vday type. We think it's pretty cheesy and ridiculous, BUT we always get to see each other in February around the 14th because it's the halfway point between January and spring break. So. We celebrate seeing each other :) Point of the story: my vday craft for him is going to be ridiculously cheesy, goofy, silly, and funny alllll in one. I'm totally stoked. Now the only challenge is waiting to actually make the craft until after my 4 tests coming up next week. It's going to be hard. And pictures will be posted.
