FINISHED

i finally have everything for my portfolio ready! i can't believe that this time has come! this class has gone by soooooo fast. in a way i'm sad but in another way, i am prepared. i really hope professor mcardle and anne enjoy my papers, i've worked so hard on them. and i've also learned so much from this past semester that i never knew i could learn about! i hope everyone feels the same way too!

ahhhhhhhhhh

i'm so stressed
can't concentrate
so distracted
winter break ... so close
i'm SO STRESSED


this is my poem

this weekend

this weekend was such a fun weekend!! on friday it was my big sister's (from my sorority) 20th birthday! we celebrated by going to Olive Garden and then my GrandBig hosted a surprise birthday party for her, it was a blast! Then on Saturday it was my sorority's (CHI OMEGA) winter formal and my best friend came as my date that night! It was in downtown Muncie, and it was nice to just dress up really nice and go out of campus for one night. Now it's sunday, and of course it's raining in Muncie. I have so many things to do as this week is the last week of classes before finals. HOLY CRAP.


better get started on some work so i can watch 25 days of christmas on ABC Family :)

if i won a million dollars, i would first:

go shopping.

i know it sounds so cliche but i am seriously OBSESSED with shopping. my parents have considered to take me to a therapist for this. every time i earn money or even find it i spend it on clothes or just shopping in general. no wonder i'm a fashion major. i live and breathe it. i LOVE bsu but i've considered transfering for just like my senior year or something to a school in nyc or la! tuition is soooo expensive though in art schools. back to shopping - if i had a million dollars the first store i'd go to would be H&M, i looooooooove this store because it has SUCH cute fashion forward clothes for GREAT prices. and the fact that i'd have that much money would mean i could buy MORE :)


..... a girl can only dream!!

club bracken

currently i'm trying to get some english done up in bracken but it isn't working out too well. i just want finals to be over with :( i don't like this whole standardized testing thing, testing you over what you've learned this whole semester! NOT FUN! i hope everyone is having a good week and isn't TOO stressed. It's HUMP DAY the week is almost over! hoooooray

Victoria Secret Fashion Show

It's the one day out of the year when every girl openly speaks about their insecurities. All thanks to the gorgeous, flawless, and 0% body fat Victoria Secret Models. It truly isn't fair. These girls are insanely beautiful and the fact that they're real baffles me. Like I wonder if they don't eat anything for weeks in advance. How else would you be okay with walking down a sparkly runway, in just a bra and a little piece of cloth over your butt? Well back to the show!!! Oh la la!

rain rain go away

sitting in english class right now thinking, if the rain is ever going to stop. i think it's rained in muncie more than ever. apparently the rain is supposed to turn into snow this after noon. that is going to make going to my history class at 330, very very difficult. sometimes i really hate the ideas of these blogs because i feel like i'm complaining 24/7 on these. oh well. i can't wait until winter break so i can hang out with my best friends that go to other schools. it's going to be like a huge, month long reunion!!! i miss them sooo much.

RANDOM

my favorite song right now:

take care by drake ft. rihanna.
reasons:
- i can relate
- good beat
- i LOVE rihanna and drake


just thought i'd share!

boreddddd

although im ecstatic to be home i'm soooo bored sometimes. i found myself watching 8 episodes of gossip girl today. that's just plain sad. i hope everyone is still enjoying their breaks still! it's going to be major crunch time after we get back from thanksgiving break getting ready for finals and such. gonna be stresssfull to the max!

thanksgiving

my thanksgiving was pretty normal to say the least. family, food and laughs. haha i always love getting together with my cousins because they're soooo funny. i think it runs in the family! now it's time to get geared up for christmas. but i never go black friday shopping, dont get me wrong i love to shop but i just don't think its necessary to get up soooo dang early to then just fight for the last wii, or the last pair of uggs on sale. not my cup of tea!!

my bad

ahhhh i'm so mad at myself because i said i'd keep up with these blogs and lately its been the last thing on my mind. so we're on thanksgiving break FINALLY! all i've done is watch gossip girl from the beginning seasons .. hahah well i hope everyone has been relaxing as much as i have!

it's OFFICIALLY turkey day :)
gobble. gobble.

harry potter

i just finished watching the last parts of the harry potter movies and i'm so depressed! it was such a good series and it still baffles me that someone could come up with something that creative. its so sad that its all over, i never read the novels but i've seen all of the movies and became really attached. its sunday and i have to do some laundry and study for one of my tests that i have tomorrow. thanksgiving break is soooo close .....

its da weekend

finally! this week was supposed to be stress free and not as intense as last week! but no no no, it wouldn't be college if things went well all the time. i finally got my schedule figured out for next semester and thanfully, its not that bad! NO 8AMS! hoooooraaaay. i also had my conference with prof. mcardle and i can't believe that the semester is almost over. it's crazy to think that that was my last conference with him, next time i'll be turning in the portfolio. prof. mcardle really helped me out more with my multi-modal argument and now i am very confident in my topic. thanks :)

next few weeks

as the semester is somewhat coming to a close, i need to really start buckling down in school work. i've done pretty good so far for my first semester as a freshman. i think i balanced my time pretty well between school work and social activities. next semester is going to be just as challenging if not more, after i fix my schedule! i only got 9 out of the 15 or 17 hours that i should be taking next semester. so this week i need to fix my schedule to something that i can work with.
how's everyones schedules so far?

its snowing!!!!

its snowing in muncie!!!! im not that excited for winter but i am excited for the holidays! there's just something about the family surroundings, the home-cooked meals, and the amount of love that the holidays bring! no one should be a scrooge! i loooooooooooove christmas. this post is really just weird but yeah. i'm excited to go home this weekend and work on some of my papers for this class! like i said in the beginning i really want to do well! and i feel that as time has progressed everything that i've learned has been helpful.
thanks prof. mcardle! alrighty i have to go study for chemistry ... HOORAY. NOT.

sick and tired, of being sick and tired

it's only tuesday and i'm already sick. two days ago the temperature was almost freezing and now it's 70 degrees .... like can mother nature please choose what season it'll be throughout the month of november? today in english we peer reviewed over our last and final project and it went pretty well. i think that every member in my group did a good job, we all have things we need to improve on though. after we reviewed on each of our weebly's, we had a chance to play around with the website and now i feel like i know what is what and how to work things. i can't wait until the finished product!

laundry

i'm sitting in stu west's laundry room in the basement with my friend molly right now. to be completely honest i have yet to start my multi-modal paper/website and i'm just about to start. someone pray that for my sake i can come up with some good ideas for my topic. i printed off a really good article about how people these days are obsessed with celebrities, it ties with my topic of, what is a role model? the article is about 20 pages long and i'm about to read and annotate some notes so that will hopefully give me a great start to my paper!

alrighty, well i hope everyone has a good time writing theirs!
good luck!

chem chem chem

chem makes me want to vom. i currently am trying to understand something for a test that's NEXT WEEK! thats how bad i am at this subject, the fact that i have to start studying so early makes me feel lame. and i don't even know why i have to take this class anyways ... uh hi, i'm a fashion merchandising major. don't really need this class for my future but i appreciate the thought. THANKS ALOT BSU. anyways on a lighter note i found my topic for our next assignment and it is called: what is a role model? i'm excited to shows the different ways and aspects that role models are portrayed as.

well i hope it's not raining so much tomorrow,  like it was today!!!!

what a weekend ....

this weekend was one for the books. i can't say exactly what all happened on here but let's just say it was all worth it! i can't wait until tomorrow when it actually is HALLOWEEN :) one of my best friends is coming down to visit me! ahhh but i have to go because i can't find my ID and i'm freaking out! wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

don't you hate it when that happens? :(

mi familia :)

last night was one of my favorite nights as a chi omega, the reason being is because i FINALLY got my BIG :) in the sorority world a big is someone who is your "big sister" from your sorority. it's a mutual feeling and you go though a process for it. at the beginning of my experience in chi omega, each week we were assigned an "owl pal". an "owl pal" is when one of the new members is paired with an active member for the week. they kind of show you the ropes or just basically hang out with you. then at the end of 5 weeks, we get to choose someone who we've clicked with or have gotten along with during the first couple of weeks in chi omega. your big doesn't have to be someone who was your owl pal. I LOVE MY BIG, and my grand big :) i can't wait to make memories with them and just have them to support me through anything!

manic monday

i'm sitting at jamba juice right now with my friend kate. we just got out of our 8am class in the atrium and decided to get some smoothies and bagels for breakfast. i always get the mango-a-go-go and a plain bagel with cream cheese. it is soooo yummy! i recommend it for anyone who loves breakfast but still wants to be healthy! the only bad thing is is that it's a little costly. yeah well i'm off to my next class with a lab, so it's two hours and then one hour of chem!!! my manic monday ends at 1pm today! can't wait.

SPONTO

i'm in my room about to get ready for my sorority's informal event: Spontaneous. This years theme is Chi O's around the world. So my friend and I are going as mexicans. I'm excited because it's something different to do then just go out to the frats during the weekends. Last night was fun because many of my sisters and I volunteered at the Muncie Children's Museums Haunted House. I was a dead little girl and I got to scare little kids, it was really fun. Well I hope everyone is having a great pre-halloween weekend! Oh and CHIRP CHIRP to the BSU fball team for getting a W!

rain rain go away

so i'm sitting in english right now and my group and i finished our peer edit reviews a little earlier than all of you. so i decided to get one of my blogs out of the way. my head hurts really bad right now and i'm dreading walking outside because it's going to be freezing!!! i wish i had money to go online shopping because,  right about now forever21.com is calling my name. this may sound weird but i love it when it's quite and all i hear is the sound of people typing up stuff on their computers, it's so relaxing.

welcome back to muncie

fall break is over and reality is going to hit again. i'm praying that this week goes by fast. i just turned in the ROUGH DRAFT to my research paper in and i'm happy with a few parts of it but I am aware that it still needs a lot of work before I can say it is complete. i'm already stressing about this week because i have a test on friday and my prof still hasn't sent in the study guide which she promised to do during the weekend. oh well i need to stop complaining. i can't wait to see all of my chi o sisters tomorrow :) espesh my baby hooties<3

p.s - how was everyones fall break?
please entertain me since i'm BORED OUT OF MY MIND!

peace & love.

sitting, waiting, wishing

sitting - i'm currently sitting/laying on my bed uploading pictures to facebook from my night last night in bloomington.  i spent so much money as soon as i got there because we went to  a pace called, kirkwood it's so cute! it's basically a larger version of the village. i need a nap. a long, long, nap.

waiting - i'm waiting for my parents to get home from wherever they are. as soon as i got home i noticed they weren't there. i swear their social life is much more packed now that i'm out of the house. i don't know how i feel about this? so im still here on facebook waiting for my pictures to upload .....

wishing - i wish i could get back to muncie here soon. i miss my dorm! haha i love my room at home and i love coming home and having time to relax and think but i always see myself missing good ol' muncie. something else that i wish for right now is for the colts to just win ONE game this regular season. i really wished that they could be the first team to host the superbowl at the same time they're playing it. looks like thats not going to happen :(


I MISS PEYTON MANNING!

home sweet home

i'm back at home in fishers, indiana for the next couple of days! as soon as i got home i caught myself up on episodes of project runway. boy did that feel good! i miss being able to watch all of my favorite shows whenever i want! i also have to say, I MISSED MY PARENTS SO MUCH! i love catching up with my mom. well tonight i just plan on relaxing, then tomorrow i'm road tripppin' to BTOWN and having a fun night with my best friends that go to IU! can't wait to catch up with them and see what college life is like in Bloomington. I somehow have to find some time to being my research paper. I don't want to leave it to the last minute, I've done that one too many times in high school, and I would hate for me to bring back that bad habit to college.


oh well gotta go! my mom made home cooked Dominican food! YUMMMMMMMMMY
(ps- i'm hispanic. my parents are both from the Dominican Republic. Hence, the home-cooked Dominican food story :D)

untitled

so today i met with professor mcardle and he said that overall things were going great with me in that class except for .... MY BLOGS. so from now until the end of the year i have to do 3 blogs and 3 posts per week. someone please remind me to do these! hahah i seriously need to catch up because i want to do well in this class. there is no reason as to why i wouldn't be doing well in this class. so i decided my topic for the next paper will be eating disorders in the fashion industry. i'm excited to start this paper but i don't know where to begin. and the fact that fall break starts tomorrow freaks me out because i have to start this paper during my break :( instead of me going home for like 4, 5 days i'll have to come back on monday night or tuesday morning to finish this shenangins!


happy fall break everyone :)

wanted: FALL BREAK

here i am again with another overwhelming/whining blog. i can't help it but i'm literally about to explode. i have a chem test on friday that i have absolutely no clue what is going to be on it. i just can't wait to go home and visit my family for a few days. and on saturday i get to visit my best friends at IU! i can't wait :) i'm sure everyone had a fun homecoming weekend, as did i. but man - they need to warn people that you will receive no sleep and have way toooo much fun :) my sorority got paired with sig ep and the whole entire week was just crazy, wild, and a blast. can't wait until next years homecoming when i know exactly what to expect. i requested for some of my classes yesterday but i still don't know exactly what i should be taking. i'm taking eng 104 next semester and have no clue what to expect. oh well i guess thats the way life goes right? live unexpectedly!

airjam

sooo i just came back from AIRJAM 2011. and lets just say i was anticipating something completely awesome and thats what i got :) everyone in my sorority said it was the best night of the weeek and they were right! it was so cool to see all of the greek community and other clubs come together in DANCE. haha and my sorority (XΩ) they did amaaaaazing! well i got to get to bed because tomorrow is the start of a very fun weekend ;)

uh oh

HOMECOMING WEEK ... officially starts tomorrow. i think it's about to be INSANE. but my profs think its awesome to have so many things due this week, its great. this past weekend i spent almost every waking moment with my sisters and i LOVED it. i feel so blessed to have 31 BEST FRIENDS that i know have my back. i know that it sounds weird since i just met them like 2, 3 weeks ago but no one will understand until you go through the process of being greek. i LOVE it. hopefully english 103 this week is kind of laid back, i want to do well on all of my papers but i feel like i can't concentrate because of homecoming. it's time to truly test my knowledge and lack of time management. legggggggo.

i must be lame

so its a thursday night and i'm in my dorm. i could be out and hanging out with my Chi O sisters but instead i feel like being a bum in my room. my day went as follows: english, lunch, nap, history, dinner, watch jersey shore with some floor friends. i don't know why but i just don't feel like doing anything today. maybe because this weekend/next week is about to be crazy. i can't wait for tomorrow night because my pledge class' retreat is tomorrow night through the morning. it's going to be amazing learning about my fellow sisters in a different way. i cannot imagine not have gone greek, it's too much fun. and then on saturday is watermelon bust basically the christmas of greeek life at BSU. and then homecoming week. ahhhh homecoming week! i'm praying for beautiful weather!

shattered wednesday

Woke up 10 minutes before I had to get to class. Hurrying to class, I drop my phone on the concrete and it shatters. 3 minutes later I arrived to class and checked my e-mail realizing that class was canceled. ITS WEDNESDAY. not monday. I've had the worst luck today more than ever. I don't know what to do with my phone's screen and I want to smack myself for not looking at my email in time. On top of this I still have a really busy two weeks ahead of me. I just want time to slow down, or atleast give me some time to breathe.

so sorrry

eh.... i cannot lie, i have been really bad about keeping up to date with my blog. it makes me so mad because when prof mcardle introduced us to this i was so excited and i promised myself that i'd be keeping it updated. but since school finally got into the swing of things, i haven't had the chance. plus my sorority takes up about 99% of my time... can't say i hate it though :) english is starting to get really stressful as well. i love the class but in our last paper/rough draft i've been having troubling collecting my ideas together. oh well hopefully things get back to normal soon. but for now i'm at home in fishers for the weekend and i'm about to go to the chris brown concert in about 4 hours! I LOVE CHRIS BROWN!!!!!

rush week....

so this past weekend, starting on thursday until today, sunday, i've been apart of ball state's sorority formal recruitment! at the begining of the week I had my mind made up about which one i wanted ... boy was i wrong. i didn't get a bid from my top choice but then alot of other doors opened up for me. after i had cried to my best friend about me not getting the bid i wanted she told me, everything happens for a reason. and i cannot thank her enough for advising me not to drop out of recruitment, i'm obsessed with my number 1 choice and hopefully they feel the same way about me tomorrow. tomorrow is BID DAY aka christmas in sorority land. i cannot wait to meet my new sisters :) but let's just say rush week was one HELL of a week!

labor day weekend

sooo i've been at home for labor day weekend in fishers, indiana. i have to say i'm impressed with how much butt my parents have been kissing on me. as soon as i walked in the door on friday my dad had made my favorite meal and my mom welcomed me with open arms, and headed straight to the laundry room with my dirty clothes. i love it. but after about 24 hours here, i'm ready to be back at BSU. i can't wait to get back into the swing of things ... what can i say? I LOVE COLLEGE

mentally, physically, and emotionally ...

drained. i am so overwhelmed with school already! i have absolutely no idea what in the world i'm going to write my "this I believe" essay on. i really am nervous because it is my first "college" paper and i feel like Professor McArdle has very high expectations of us. On top of school work, I miss my friends from home VERY MUCH. I am all about meeting new people but my friends from home and I were very, very close. I'm so glad to be able to see them this Labor Day weekend. Most of us went to all different schools like, IU, Purdue, USI, UK, IUPUI and a couple more. It'll just be nice to be able to go home and relax without having to think about school and homework.

bloggin' in bracken

Today in english class we had to go over the Ball Point Handbook. I'm not going to lie it's not all that exciting but it helps me understand exactly why I'm in the English 103 class. The guide is very detailed, and definitely gets the point across. Someone in class brought up the fact that Professor McArdle looks like Jimmy Neutron, and I hate to say it but he does! But of course his hair is much, much nicer. Although, I don't think it looks like Patrick Dempsey... Right now I am in Bracken library typing this up because for some reason I can't do anything productive in my dorm. Maybe it's the fact that my friends are always distracting me, not in a bad way, but I for sure don't get anything done. Perks of being social?

first day of english 103

I am currently sitting in my room typing this blog for English 103. Today was the first day for this class which I'll have on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Today Professor McArdle asked us what our favorite movies, and books were. It was cool to see the different personalities in people when they said their favorites out loud. After reading and going over the syllabus I believe the class is going to be a little difficult if I don't keep my time management a top priority. Other than that I am actually excited for the projects and assignments for English 103. I really hope that I did this blog thing correct, if not I'll feel like an idiot in front of the whole class.
