"If you take risks, you may fail. But if you do not take risks, you will surely fail. The greatest risk of all is to do nothing. Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.The minute you start talking about what you're going to do if you lose, you have lost."

It's a new year, a new present to unwrap.

SHIFT happens

Midterms suck, the doctors say I'm Anemic, I extremely dislike reading 60 pages in a row for Bio, my Humanities Core section leader is lame and I'm running out of money.

On the plus side
Irvine's awesome, the quarter system moves really fast, I haven't realized how long I've been here so I haven't completely realized how homesick I am, we have the most legit house on the block, Friendship Games was fun but staying up all night wasn't and I get to go home for the weekend.

Post Scriptum:
I'll try to keep this updated,

Chapter 4: I think you oughta know

"You make me feel that everything is going right, that I can go to sleep tonight"

Even though my heart still misses everyone who left Delano; Having this distance between friends only makes me realize how special each visit with them is going to be, and how I have to cherish those moments that we spend together.


To be continued... maybe

Chapter 3: So I tell myself

"I just need some time alone before I'm ready to come back home"

I don't think I will ever finish that blog I made for Brian, and even making this one is hard because today Crystal, Rolly, Mary and Eldrin left Delano. w/e I said I wouldn't cry or be sad for you guys cause I wanted you guys to experience something new and live life, but I never expected it to be so hard to say 'SEE YOU LATER'. Because even though its not a goodbye, its still a long ways until I actually get to see you guys, like I can't just come over and say what're we doing tonight? or call Crystal and say things like "are you going to our "Other house"", "the boys are over at my house, are they going to yours later?", " want me to buy you sno fun before i come over?" and Ell, you better come play tennis with me at 5am when I call you, and you better not throw away those post it notes, cause sticking those on your car always made me laugh. Thank you for all your advice Rolly, I always tried to follow what you say and not try so hard to fit in, and Mary hanging out with you was always so funny, summer 06, i'll never forget that.

..just those small little memories keep me going cause I know i'll see you guys, you're not dead obviously, its just that you're so far away and I wish that I could've spent a little more time with you, I was just so bummed out I didn't want anybody to see me really cause i hate giving other people that same feeling of being sad. Idk, but seriously thank you for everything guys, for giving me the best summer ever
yes, 2008 was the best year I've lived so far and no I'm not kidding


Good luck with everything, I love you guys and Take care


btw,
"and everytime I close my eyes, I thank the lord that I've got you and you've got me too"

Post Scriptum:
this blog isn't complete either, for the same reason as the last one

Chapter 2: I smile when I'm sad

Aww, Brian . I wish you luck and hope you have a safe flight/stay in Illinois. I'm sure that Graduation day will come sooner than we all think.

For now, I'm gonna have to leave this blog like this, I can't handle thinking about the fact everyone's leaving already, and Beau you're leaving like tomorrow, wow and Candace too.

..ok so all of you have, you've made me laugh, you've made me smile, you've gotten me through some really rough times but most importantly you've made me cry, because crying is the only way I can show you guys how much you really mean to me; thank you for sticking by my side and for understanding me even when you never understood what was going on.

Chapter 1: Departure

August is officially the month that a lot of close people are gonna begin to leave this small town of Delano. A small town filled with amazing people that feed off of the raw energy that comes from this place we all have come to realize brought us all together.

• August 19, 2008: Claudia leaves back to the United Kingdom

• August 21, 2008: Brian leaves to the Navy

• August 22, 2008: Candice leaves to Brigham Young University
• Beau leaves to the University of Arizona
  

• August 24, 2008: Rolly,Crystal and Mary leave to Las Vegas

• August 25, 2008: Justin leaves to the Air Force

And you know what? I can honestly say that I'll miss all their laughs, their wonderful stories and just their presence in general until we see each other again. But for the rest of us who leave in September, lets make our last official month here a good one.

Anyways enough of the pouting around about August, I'm just extremely grateful I met you guys and I truly do not know who I would be or where I would end up if you guys weren't there to support me and keep me going. =)

Lets take it from the beginning of the week

Monday: went to Ryan's house and watched the others; stopped by starbucks; went back to Ryan's and finished the movie
Tuesday: saw 3 shooting stars; and made 2 wishes; talked to LeeAnn on the phone
Wednesday: Told Brian and Justin what my two wishes were and talked to them on the phone
Friday: Watched Mirrors with Bree,her fam and my triplet; then went to Candices and scared Steven, went outside and drank pixie stix courtesy of Brian then went to go get my beautiful board
Saturday: Went to Brian's house and played the 'Touch Game'.. let out some long awaited feelings and tears were out and about; played the opposite of the 'Touch Game' with a funny interpretation, all I can say is 'whats yo' flava?'. Then the infamous fishbowl game, thats always fun, STUPID Beau and that PINK COWBOY HAT!.. hahah Jeff picked up me and Justin, then stopped by Bev's, kinda didn't go well sorry bout that so we left; looked at Jeff's engine and the magical screwdriver fixed the car that wouldn't start; then back to Brian's for more chit chat/hanging out
Sunday: 'Good Morning!'s...Went to Ryan's, Rachma and Stephanie Gines, sayyy whaa??..Claudia Hyphy's myspace, hahaha.. watched 'Sydney White' AKA Brittany Black..Awww Dopey's the best..went to Taco bell and had some more bonding moments there, found out Justin and I could read each others minds, i mean it should've been obvious.. Claudia can't count hahahha when she's telling us how many years in high school they have in the UK, LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE?..i got so confused, hahah Thanks for coloring in my board guys! you're awesome, haha and thanks justin for helping out a lot with that board, its coming along soo nicely.

Shout out to Breehie for the rides

This past week was so much fun, major kudos to everyone who has made it that fun..it all started after I told Brittany "We haven't hung out all summer, lets start"..aww Brian don't worry about studying too much, I'm sure you'll do fine, I believe in you, i mean going to the Navy was practically set for you right? I think you have some sort of knowledge about it by now,..Justin I hope you find a job; thanks Ryan for being a 'Winner!' hahahha...oh and I'm glad we have been hanging out, cause its been a BLAST!. most definitely!<333

Ok, so maybe I haven't quite done all the things on that list that I hoped for, but this is one extremely memorable summer, I think its the first summer that I know of that so many people are moving away, as in reallyyyy moving away, out of Delano. Its kind of weird, I mean the one year when all of my friends are leaving is the one year I'm supposed to be super excited to meet new friends; I'm still dealing with this situation. But I know I'll get used to it one day. But seriously, why are so many people, including those who graduated before the c/o 2008 choosing to leave now?...Maybe we're trendsetters. HAH, maybe not

But anyways, this is the first year where i've had to go to sooo many parties, but not the strictly lets have fun parties, its more of a, lets have fun, cause the next time you'll see me might be in a year or two or maybe a couple of months, how sad riight?.. well I get sad sometimes just thinking about it. Like Yesterday, at Brian's Birthday party, btw, he's leaving on the 21st.. it was only the beginning of the many going away parties that i'll try to attend; Today was Beau's but being that I went out last night and my parents are strict on me going out, I couldn't go to his, so sorry about that.. Then next friday is Candace's and the Saturday in the following week will be Justin Delarmente's.. and after that, there are so many others...Well, I guess I'll be bringing my drawing board around with mee everywhere, It'll be fun though.
