if you are handed it, you can HANDLE IT.

on Saturday, God proved to me that I truly have guardian angels watching out for me. :) After work, Erika and I went to two parties with Marisa Rubio. It was a great reunion because I missed her so much, but I wasn't in the mood to party anymore because I found out I would have to work Sunday and I haven't had a Sunday off since I started. Anyway, I ended up wanting to leave and Demian, Brenda, and Andy met up with us. How convenient that the random bus we took at 12:30 in the morning stopped right in front of CSUSF. and i ended up at the bus stop by myself. normally, in l.a., it's okay to be by yourself because you have a car. but picture being by a dark road like this and being at a random bus stop... freezing:



i know, right? anyway, i got on the bus and took out my little map like a tourist and tried to route where I was going. i knew that once i got off that bus, i had to wait for another one and get on it to get to my school. not fun. i wouldn't be home until 2. anyway, i got on the bus and i sat in the front and the bus driver started engaging in smalltalk with me. he was very nice and before i knew it, he was giving me some very good advice about my life! i was about to get off until he said "do you want me to just drop you off in front of your school?" i couldn't believe it. you really don't understand how big of a deal that is here in frisco. bus drivers are MAJOR DOUCHE BAGS. they would never EVER go out of their way to take you anywhere. on a regular day, you'd be lucky if they would even wait TWO SECONDS for you to get on the bus. I felt really blessed, especially since I was scared shitless after Demian told me he just got jumped in his own building.

So I'm finally trying to acquire some school spirit. I bought two school sweatshirts that are really comfortable. After being here, I think I've already learned quite a bit. I've learned that 75% of the crap that I have pack-ratted over the past 18, (sad to say, almost 19) years of my life, I really don't need and could care less about.

Anyway, I have been very contemplative lately. more than usual. Where am I meant to be in life? I'm very stressed and I keep trying to pray about it, but it's just so hard.

MY COUSIN ANNA HAD HER BABY! She was two weeks early. Welcome to the world, baby Brooklyn Tiana. It's rough and it's cruel, but you will love it.

Come to my GOSPEL CHOIR concert! Sunday, December 7th. No joke, we're really good. Sister Act II status:



I need to start paying attention in philosophy and stop playing tetris in class. I'm really tired. I have my halloween costume, but haven't finished making it.

ohhh and i'm doing my public speaking informative speech on this amazing man:



my intro is to sing the theme song. cardigan. shoelace tying. wearing my "it's all good in my hood" mr. rogers screen tee. closing with the closing song. snappy snap. i'm too good.

for next time: interesting facts about frederick mcfeely rogers.

until then, reflect... who thought mr. mcfeely was fucking scary?
