Well...I can't remember what day I was!

But I figure it's better for me to post today than not at all..so here goes!
The last few weeks have been quite important for my life!
Firstly because I've got a new job; Bolton Road beauties will know all about it (as I keep talking about it with them). It's at Nationwide doing really boring typing and things but it's full time and it pays well so I can start saving money for my America adventure and university.
The second thing is: I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY. Bournemouth Arts studying Arts and Events Management.
It's the course I really wanted to get onto and the lecturer I had my interview with was so nice, so I think we're going to get on well!!
Wow. This is a really boring entry..but I need to help my mother with her birthday party invites, so: to be continued........

late again?

So I've forgotten what my day was and was too lazy to look back , but I am posting, and it is in green! I am really glad to see this blog back up and running. A lot has changed with my life since this blog "ended" , for lack of better words. I work full time at a hotel in buffalo doing overnights, I go to school online and am working towards my associates degree in general studies, and I have no clue what I want to do with my life. I have been thinking about school in London and can not afford Uni there without being majorly in debt for quite some time (now add living expenses on top of that!), this absolutely crushed me but I didn't give up. It made me think, do I really want to do TESOL? My answer , No. I just definitely want to learn Hindi and regain fluency in French. I really think I want to be a personal assistant or administrative assistant, this is where I have been working and I love doing that type of work. I can't NOT be in London though. I left my heart there, and some of the greatest friends I will ever find in life. So I am researching getting a work visa and applying as an admin assistant or possibly transferring with my hotel to work there. I found out that I can continue to take online classes at GCC whilst abroad and plan to finish my associates and then get certified with a bachelors in admin assistant. So right now I am applying for a couple of positions online and going to keep looking and doing more. I am currently revising my CV and hope to get something accomplished. My surgery date is March 30th so I am hoping to have heard from a job or something by that time so that after that I can possibly move out to London. Whatever it takes I will get to London, I have to, I am dying here. It probably sounds dramatic, but it is true. My only other idea is that if London doesn't work out, possibly moving to California until I can get back to London. I just wish that everything works out. I'm so scared and lost.
I miss you all a lot more than I am sure you miss me, but nonetheless my love is with you.

For Old Times Sake!!??

Okay so it's Monday and I am here once again...I hope I won't look sad and lonely and that someone else will post this week.

2nd year at uni is going well and this semester has been mad...so many modules, so little time! I'm loving it and it's a blast. I almost forgot to post this week but I remembered before the end of the day and that's all that counts!

I've written an application form for my 3rd year project which I have to do next year (it's a sciencey dissertation really) where I'll have to work in a lab and carry out my own experiments...exciting, scary, daunting all spring to mind. We have to apply to our lecturers and they have to agree to let us work under them...if no-one accepts you then tough luck and hope you don't mind an epic FAIL so I hope I get my choices (fingers crossed).

I must admit I was sad to see this blog fall apart so quickly! I thought we'd manage at least one year before we lost it but never mind...hopefully Shipa's push for us to restart this will follow through and we can once more converse transatlanticly! I miss you all so much and I hope you write back!

Hmmm...I don't know if we are doing challenges again but I'll post one...This weeks Monday's challenge is to post on your day in your colour (or color)! That's all...just a simple one not difficult in the slightest...so no excuses! XD

Mucho love ma Hombres!
Alikay!

better late then never, right?

Hello All --

Sorry for the late post, but I've been quite busy as of late. I had Martin come stay with me for about five days, and the day after he left, my mother went to the hospital for surgery. Tomorrow I am cleaning/taking care of my mother. Then I am heading over a few towns to stay with my great grandmother for the rest of the day/night/next day. After that I'm heading to the airport to pick up Simon and I'll be spending time with him until I drop him off at his university in New York City. Whoaa, I'm a busy lady.

I had a lot of fun with Martin when he came to stay with me in New York. My family stuffed him with as much food as they possibly could. Haha. Sharon and I had planned for her to drive to my house the day after his arrival to surprise him. She stayed from Friday-Sunday. It was a pretty busy visit, actually. We went to the beach, Queens, my brother's surprise party, a baseball game, New York City, to the shops, lots of places. I'm pretty sure I terrified both Martin and Sharon with my driving skills. Although we did end up at our destinations alive and all in one piece. Haha.
It was fun having Martin around, I'm really glad that he came to visit me in New York. I miss him a lot.

Today, I sent in my choreography proposals for dance this semester at Arcadia. I don't really know what song I want to choreograph to, so I proposed three songs. Haha. I'm totally uninspired lately. I know that I want to choreograph a lyrical number, so thats really my only jumping off point. I guess I should head to the dance studio as soon as I can and get to working. I think I need to be in my dance environment to get some inspiration. I hope I get some ideas into my noggin soon.

Challenge Time!

Shipa: First off, I fucking hate rude strangers. THIS ONE DAY, I was having a really bad day. Work sucked, my friends were fighting, it was just a shitty day. I went to 7/11 to get some iced coffee and as I was leaving, my phone rang, so I had my coffee in one hand and my phone in the other. I was walking towards the SEE THROUGH GLASS DOOR with my hands full, I couldn't open the door, I had to ram into it with my hip. Meanwhile, on the other side of the door was a fully able bodied man watching me struggle. FINALLY I get the door open, and forgive me, if I don't hold the door for this douchebag man, since I couldn't hold the door and walk through it at the same time. He bumps into me, hurting me and says, "THANKS FOR HOLDING THE DOOR BITCH" What. The. Fuck. I couldn't hold the door for my fucking self, how could I hold the door for that dickhead? I responded with "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE" to which he had no response.

I think you can all think of a time when I wasn't sober and acted a fool. How about that time I swore I was able to walk from Amsterdam to America? Or the time I kept having people in Lindop light my finger on fire. Why don't you comment and tell me your favorite un-sober memory of me. That's my challenge.

I know I didn't complete all the challenges & I'm sorry, but I'm bloody exhausted. I miss you all, a lot. It's almost been one year since we've met. =D

love you much,
xtine
