welcome to failure
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010the waiting game
Thursday, March 18th, 2010twenty two days until I have an idea about where I’ll be and what I’ll be doing within the next year and a half.
last summer taught me to be incredibly good at living day by day and not being so crazyscatteredbrainedalwaysknowingwhattodonext. however, lately it’s not been as great. I’m incredibly anxious, my heart feels heavy, and sometimes it’s difficult to focus on anything. apparently that something that happens when you fall in love with someone you (1) totally weren’t planning on falling in love with, (2) lives 3,000 miles away and on the complete opposite side of the country, and (3) don’t know whether to look forward to another amazing summer together or another seven total months of racking up frequent flier miles and those god awful airport goodbyes.
if selected as a finalist for the 4A’s intern program, it’d be a seriously kick ass opportunity.
pros
+ hoping it’ll be in NYC or Chicago, and everything that encompasses a new experienced-filled summer — meeting new people, making new friends, seeing new places, and learning that much more about myself!
+ hoping it’ll be for account planning so there will be some sick work to do and at a good agency
+ it’s really a great resume builder too!
cons
- ten weeks of super hard work and long hours, which i don’t mind, but he’ll have to do all the flying to come see me
- graduation ETA would be May ‘11… so another four-five months of 3am phone calls (on my end), extreme texting, and wondering whether or not we’re going to get stuck in front of annoying kids on a plane or the always awkward fat person that squishes you in.
- the chance that there won’t be tons of time to soak up the sun, resulting in a not-so-tan Sarah.
OR if not, then another california summer will be had!
pros
+ all the love-sappy thing you can think of will happen for three and a half months. tons of mornings to wake up next to each other, the obscene amounts of lazy beach days, hiking and exploring california nature w/ the dogs, being able to bring him lunch when he’s at work, getting a call from him 45 minutes before he’s going to be home. and my personal favorite: getting kisses any and every time I want.
+ the opportunity to take lead for a solar power contractors company advertising and marketing, and probably making some very decent $$$
+ i could get my pilot’s license (=
+ i’ll be done with school by december of this year by taking online classes over the summer and then by the beginning of next year i could be a california resident!
cons
- can’t really think of any cons… really just waiting to see if the 4A’s makes this decision for me.
all there’s to do now, is just wait.
you’re so bad at taking pictures…

40 days minus 10 plus I’m not sure how much yet

I’m a horrible Catholic. Maybe not horrible, but after having it shoved down my throat for nine years, I’m kinda ‘meh’ about it. Never got confirmed, haven’t been to confession in like three years, hardly ever go to church, and the list goes on. Of course, in my mother’s eyes, WHO was a nun in Colombia for almost a year (obviously that didn’t work out too well, bahah), I’m probably going to hell. I do make the effort to ask her every Sunday- on my way to work and on her way to church-to let the Big Man know I said “What up!”.
For some reason this year, though, I was well aware when lent began and not just because of Phat Tuesday! I thought about things that I could give up and ten days after it started, I finally came to a conclusion. Some people give up desserts, others cursing or for the boozers of the world, alcohol. My drug? Bread, carbs and pastries. Ahhh, so yummy!
But after I talked to my brother and kind of remember stuff from health class, that our body does need “complex carbs”- which I’ll be eating especially since I’ve made the conscious effort to get back to the gym and by more physically active since I’ve stopped playing lacrosse.

An apple a day...
So, here’s the first apple I started my late lent with. It only took me three different stops and stores on the UCF campus to find and of course it’s in the same store and Mrs. Fields Cookies and a Greek Wrap place.

Guava. In a pastry. Heaven.
I really do enjoy the feeling of making myself aware of what I’m eating, though, and trying to eat healthier. Looking forward to how well this goes!

happy birfday, docta seuss!

Be you, dude. Be you!
As if I haven’t heard a ton of Dr. Seuss’ quotes from my 28-year-old brother, I caught a tweet that said it was his birthday and had this picture saved to my computer. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to pay homage to one of the authors I really enjoyed reading as a kid and now have the privilege to watch my niece and nephew have just as much fun. (= It also doesn’t hurt to remind yourself about just being genuine with all the ads, influencers and entertainers telling people otherwise.
So, Happy Birthday Mr. Theodor Seuss Geisel! I wish I had a clever rhyme, but I’m all out.
