Nightly Epiphanies!

During tonight's nightly before bed routine, I have realized several things... 

1- My eyebrows are like perfect today! :) (did them myself this afternoon)
*The rest of my face not so much! Stupid acne!*

2- I can NOT fan my face while cleaning out my ears with a q-tip! Odd I know!
(Medicating my face to clear up said acne. It BURNed!)

3- My old moisturizer might have been the reason my face was not clearing up... Salicylic acid in face wash, toner, and moisturizer! It was over kill!  
I needed to be using a moisturizer with a calming/neutralizing effect to lock in the medication! The added acid was just making my skin work harder and get more oily!

 I am soo soo sorry face, I had no idea!  I really don't know what I was thinking!  I had already heard that the last step should be a balm of sorts. Oh well, at least I know now!

Starbucks is like pretty awesome sometimes!

So the awesome at thing just happened.
After class, when I have time I usually like getting a coffee. Today was no exception! I also wanted chips to go with my coffee... Yes I know that's weird. But I ran into a small problem. I switched wallets yesterday, so today I don't have as much money as I usually do. I had lunch with Angelica and used the largest bill I had with me. That always scars me because I don't bother counting ones until I need them.
So I don't remember my lack of money until I'm already in Starbucks. I have $7 with me. My coffee is $5 if I get the grande but $6 if I get the biggest. I really wanted the biggest one. So I look at price and decide that maybe a frappe will be cheaper and I just won't get the chips. Sad story but I can survive. So I get up to the counter and order:
"Can I get a carmel frap..."
" I have a Carmel mocha frappe that hasn't been touched..."
"What!?!"
"It's Carmel mocha hasn't been touch, do you want that? You can have it."
Um what? Okay so this isn't what I want, I didn't want whipped cream, if it were white mocha it would be better, it is Carmel and a frappe, and if I can pay the same as if it were what I wanted then....
"Um sure that's fine!"
" Here you can just have it"
" I don't have to pay you?"
" No, don't worry about it!"
"Thank you so much!!!"
So I got a free grande Carmel mocha frappe from Starbucks. And I didn't have to sacrifice my need/ want for chips!
I just love it when things work out in my favor! So thank you Starbucks barista who may or may not have messed up the other guys order. Or thank you guy for changing your mind!
I realize that if I didn't take the coffee it was going to be thrown out or the barista would have taken it, but I'm guessing its the first. So she did something nice for me by not charging me for this coffee so should I know do something nice for her or someone else or is this not one of those situations?

Some times I wish my dreams would come true!

Monday night I had a dream. It was a good dream, one that I wish would have been true. Also one that felt and smelt soo real! I usually don't remember a lot of my dreams and usually can not recall them after a few days. But this one is different! This is what happened...

So I am at this gas station with Lupita, mom, dad, Mena and Angelica at some point and some other family was there too. Lupita knows the lady that owns the gas station so she knows there was a way to "steal" gas.  She opens what she needs to and then here comes Robert Pattinson, as his Water for Elephants character, jacob, because you know they're poor. 
I'm trying to take pictures off him but with out being all paparazzi like and then he starts hiding from the real ones. By this point he isn't Jacob anymore he is just Rob. We help him escape the paps, so now he is being all nice and saying hi. I remember he said once that if a girl asked for a hug he would give her one. So I ask if I can have a hug, that's all I want just a hug.  He gives me a hug but RITA-ugh- is in the way.  He kinda hugs her too but then I move so he is now only hugging me. He smells like makeup, like really strongly because now he is Edward! Lol. 
Well now a lot of weird things are going on so we have to help him out again. This time he gets in moms car. Mom is in the front with Mary,  I think, then its me and Rob in the middle, and Angelica and Mena in the back. Mom tries to take a picture but when she shows it to me he isn't in it?!  Omg is he a real vampire? The picture also looks wrong because we are in the car but the image on the screen is us on a couch??? It turns out the picture is just not saving, the memory is full. So I delete some pictures and we started to get in place to take the picture. We start off by being cheek to cheek. Then he moves and has his head on my shoulder but then he keeps moving until he's head is in my lap and he is laying on the seat.... Sigh... Well I start playing with his hair. You know, as in I'm running my hands through his hair and what not...sigh... That doesn't go on for long, he has "food" in his hair because he had just filmed one of the scenes where there is a food fight ( I think it's for WFE but it might be for Cosmopilis). The food in his hair is not real food,  it is like paint or some kind of special fx kinda stuff. He also has a lot of hair spray and mosses and gel and I don't know what other crap in his hair. We are talking and then  wonders how the hell he is going to get all the crap out of his hair. I of course knowing all about hair tell him that it will come out with water.  I keep playing with his hair and talking with him. I don't even care about the food in the hair, because I am here with him, in the middle seat of a truck, playing with his hair while he chilled with his head on my lap!

Ah what I wouldn't do for one of his hugs!

This is just too weird!!

THIS WAS JUST TOO WEIRD!!
So I'm drawing today! Yay, right? Not so much, but still fun! Anyways the things I set up to draw are: my camera, my laptop ( don't know why I did that), the bottom part of a Xmas tree shaped glass container, sunglasses, tiny glass apple, and 2 books! It's a lot I know. So I've drawn the camera and the container and now I just started on the books. For some reason, though, I keep thinking about this story that I read a few months ago and I can't figure out why!
Well I figured it out! The story is from the books I'm drawing! That is just weird though! Mainly because I'm not thinking about what books they are but the simple fact that they are books and I have to draw them right!
I mean I could have been thinking about anything, Shayloss for example considering I'm listening to videos, but no I'm thinking about the books that I am drawing! That so has never happened so it kinda freaked me out!
Just had to share this! Bye now!!

creepy man at the door

Okay so I'm sitting in my room, at my desk watching the YouTube when I see a blue (i think it was blue) truck driving unusually slow in front of my driveway...I thought it kept going but then I see this old white headed person walking up my driveway. I got up to be close to the door when this person knocked, but you know how much I like dealing with people very much? Instead of going all the way to the door I waited in the hallway where I couldn't be seen. I figure this person was gonna open the glass door and knock, which I hate cause that is just rude. Why would you open someones door if they haven't let you in?? Anyways, I'm waiting for the knock or ring and the next think I know it sounds like creepy person is scratching something off the wall. So I turned into the other hallway and started walking towards the door to see what creeper was doing. He didn't see me but I saw what he was doing!...It seems he is a pest control person offering advertising his services. I didn't know that that was what he was doing though until after I creeped up to the door, watched him stuff the flyer into the glass door, and then watched him walk towards and get into his truck and drove off. After he was out of site and there were no possibilities he would come back and talk to me, is when I opened the door to get the paper he has stuffed in to the glass door. I'm such a creeper sometimes, but he creeped me out first and he didn't even know I was at the door at all so its all good!!

Dreaming of lemons!

So I had this dream last night. There was a lot of lemons and family members. The family was drunk, mad, and annoying...well thats not to far off of how some people are, Right?
Anyways, I woke up wondering what this dream could mean, cause I mean there was A LOT of both!
I was thinking that the lemons had something to do with the saying, "If life gives you lemons..."  Apparently the saying is followed by "...make lemonade!" Well I looked up the meaning and it just means that when you're in a bad situation turn it into a good one...lemons are sour make them into lemonade and now you have something sweet. AW!(and my next thought was NOT even though I don't really feel like that!)
So now I'm thinking what does my family have to do with all of this.  There are times when I prefer not to be with them but there are times when I miss them... Although the people in the dream were the ones I prefer to be without than the ones I miss...HMMMM!!
Maybe I need to change my ways and accept people for what they are, drunk, crazy, annoying people!
Ha! I think i just insulted many people and they will never know! Just remember person reading this I'm talk about those that I would prefer not to be around and not those who I miss or would miss!

I think that is all for this post I'm gonna go look up what drunk, mad family dreams mean!

Sooo, I haven't posted in a while! Sorry readers. All 2 Or 3 of you! It was a busy last month of school. Two essays and 2 final Design projects. As well as 2 very hard and stressful Trig exams ha! Well one was stressful :( . My only non-stressful class was Drawing I! I guess the lack of coffee could have heightened the stress or not lol! But lets get to the point of this blog!
I AM OFFICIALLY DONE WITH MY FIRST YEAR of REAL COLLEGE!!!!
I don't really count Cosmo School because I didn't have to take English, math nor history! Which I still haven't taken! But I'm done!!!! First semester was easier than expected. Actually everything was better than expected.
I have to admit that I put college off for as long as I did because I was terrified at failing and especially terrified at taking English comp. I was under the impression that essay writing in college was way too hard! But I actually did great in comp I and II! Ms Leonard told me she always looked forward to reading my essays! I passed with an A! Comp II was kinda the same I did better than I thought on my essays! Ms Um, Voller said they all had great content or were good analysis of the readings! I'll be passing with a B, maybe? She um, annoyed me though with um her uming...she even wrote in on one of my essays...not good for her case I gave her a review that day lol!
The Art class also surpassed my expectations!
I was relived the first day of class when Mr. Bostic said it was (- ugh running out of messaging pages! Ill finish when i get home!)(Back!) Ok to make mistakes! Other wise he would be out of a job. But i did good in that class. First 2 drawings were okay, they were still life drawings. Then we had to draw bones. I didn’t want to draw bones but i did better than i thought, they were even but on display in the main office! After that we did perspective drawings where we were not supposed to shade which kinda mad me mad but whatever. The last thing we did was draw people's faces. I was like oh great! I had tried to draw people but the lips never came out right ): ! However Mr. Bostic made it essay to draw faces. we started by drawing a generic face that looked very manly and then had to draw one another...my drawing looked like the guy...the guys drawing not so much like me. But then i found out that he felt like he was no good at drawing. I think his last self portrait drawing worked out after Mr. Bostic explained to him how to do it. My self-portrait was freaky. Mr. Bostic kept saying it was scary because it looked so much like me and it even looked like a photograph. I showed a picture of it to Perla last night and it seemed she couldn’t believe it was me. After I told her it was me and that I drew it she wanted to draw too and wanted me to draw her and Jesus and her dad and her mom and well you get the picture lol!
So when I told my family I was going to major in art, I thought that dad was gonna say that it was a waste of time and money. Going to school to draw and paint and color seemed to me like it was not going to be challenging and so it was going to be considered a waste of money. But I was WAY wrong. Design class was supper challenging. We had to be in class for about 3 hrs twice a week. We had to learn vocabulary words and know how to use them because he would ask us to describe each others work using the vocabulary, then we had a quiz on those words. But we had to know those words to get good designs. My first one was good the second a little better the 3rd the best and the last okay! We had to present 2 designs of each project before the final one was turned in for a grade. We had to do a 4x6 index card “baby,” an 11x 14 that was critiqued and then we had to turn in a 15 x 20! The 11x 14 was always the most stressful to do because it was the one we got most of the feedback from and if we had a good one the 15 x 20 would be a piece of cake! Although the were a piece of cake they were very time consuming. For the first 2 projects I worked like 4 days on each of them not including the time I spent on the 11 x 14 which was about a day or 2. On the 3rd one I think I spent about 2 weeks on it and about 2 weeks on the 11x14 draft. The last one I did over a weekend but it was not my fave. I’m going to have to use to of those for a portfolio and me and Mr. Davis agreed on which 2 to use! This projects were only made stressful by the fact that I had to work on these and my English essays, sometimes they were due on the same day. Ms Voller and Mr. Davis were really nice about extending the deadlines unfortunately they set the deadline for the same day! But I did good in that class since I am passing with an A!
The other 5 classes were not as stressful and were as expected!
College algebra and trig were the most fun. Mr. Banik always made corny jokes! The test and homework of those classes were like super easy! In College algebra all test and quizzes were done in the math lab, I made 100 on all test except the final :( so I passed with an A! For trig test were taken in the class room using paper!! The first 3 were stress less, the last one I forgot my calculator at home and did not realized that I had until 30 min before the test. I was freaking out so much! I called dad to bring me the calculator but he didn’t make it even though he was driving 90mph where the limit was 70! The girl that sat next to me had an extra one so she let me borrow it… although I am grateful with her she could have told me that the stupid thing didn’t work right! I had to guess at like 3 of them because the answer the thing gave me was way off (working with triangles means your answer can‘t be more than 180 but I got like 500+ on at least 2 of them!) I ended up making an 85 on that test, but I get 5 extra point on a test cause I only missed 1 day, and I get 5 extra point on my overall grades because I answered a survey and I think he also gave points for answering in class quizzes! The exam was super easy so if I did make an A on it then I will be passing that class with an A despite the 85 I got on that one test!
Psychology class was okay! I stressed over the first exam but not so much on the last 4 and didn’t have to take the final because I knew I would pass with a B and it would not change if I had taken the final!
Chemistry was easier than I thought it was going to be but only because I figured out what Mr. what’s-his-name did for the test! We had online homework and he would use a lot of the those questions on the test! I passed with an A!!
Finally Viva Latino America class was just a waste of my time! I thought I was going to learn more than what tourist would want to see! I wanted to learn about the culture and traditions! I think I learned more from the final presentations we had to do than I did in the class!
Although I went through all these stressful situations and frustrating events I loved my first year of college! And even though I was ready to quit at the beginning of this semester, I am totally ready to start next semester! I’m only taking art classes , so hopefully it will go as smoothly as these past 2 semesters! Just glad I don’t have to take anymore English classes!!! I hope this summer is fun! i have over 3 months off!
WOW THIS IS LONG!
