To The People Happy For Me:

I just want to say thanks. Yes, OV: I know that money is not considered "free". I might just give it back, not sure yet. But I need to start somewhere will saving lol!

We shall see, as I always say.

But to the people that are supportive and happy for me: Cele, my step dad Joe, OV, El Sueño, Lisita (I'm sure I'll see a comment soon!) and all my other Blogger amigas, well thank you!

It means a lot.

My mother just called me back and I told her the great news and that I was registered for all my classes. She didn't even sound the least bit thrilled. I know she might not be feeling well and I know she might hate her job, but you know what? She could have even faked being happy for me! I am really kind of sad now. I feel like maybe what I am pursuing is disappointing her. I know it sounds stupid, but that's how I am feeling.

It just is unbelievable that Cele, who I have known a little over 6 months acted MORE happy for me than my own mother, who gave birth to me. And my step dad, who I really don't get along with ALL the time and who is NOT even my biological father, he was happy for me too.

I just am really surprised with my mother's reaction. :(


I don't believe I said anything wrong to her. Maybe I did and I don't know it? I just don't understand it. If I had a child I would have been saying "OMG that's wonderful!" or even something like "How exciting!"

She's still a wonderful mother and I wouldn't change my choice of a mother for anything, but her reaction to it all really surprised me. :(

UPDATE: My mom called me and well the reason she was the way she was is because she hates her job.

She wants to move to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! I don't know WHAT I'm going to do NOW. She is NOT talking like in a year, she's talking like RIGHT ALONG. OMG I'm SO sad right now and I'm in tears! What am I going to do? Cele and I would break up. :'o(

As much as I hate Georgia and Savannah at times (okay, fine! A LOT of the times b/c the gente are just rude and slow) well. . ..

I don't want to leave.

I can't leave.

I WON'T LEAVE without my Cele! :'o(

(so either HE comes with us OR I stay with him)

Money and College

Whew! Just got off the phone with my college and I will be registering this week for my classes and will be starting September! Woohoo!

And guess how much financial aid awarded me? OMG $14,000! And get this: In March and June of next year, I will receive the remaining, which is....

$7,000!

OMG. Too much money. What will I do with it all? :)

I have a few ideas. The first idea is a responsible one:

#1. I will save it and apply for financial aid again next year (b/c you have to apply each year) and then I will wait and see what my award letter says. IF I have enough (once again) to pay for another year of college, awesome! I'll use some of the $7,000 for my books (unless I have other cash that I can use, and if so....then idea #2 . . .)

#2. I'm throwing that $7,000 in the bank and saving it and still taking out $100 each month to put towards it. I'm starting to save money NOW. I think that's the SMART idea to do instead of blowing it all on something that I will only have memories of. Why not be ahead of myself?

Then eventually maybe I can get myself a car OR my own place. I'd like to save for my own place, actually. But time will tell what will happen to that money I get.

I might just have to give it to my college if I don't get enough money in my next award letter. Which is fine. Still leaves me with $1,000 or $2,000. Hey, it's still money to save! But $7,000 would be great. :)

Whatever happens, happens though.


So I start college in September. My first classes are English Comp 101 and Living in Information Age, quite interesting lol.

Overall, I'm quite happy :)

It's A Good Day!

I start work soon and I kind of am happy about that.

Yesterday I think I was just SO tired because in the morning Cele will call me like close to every HOUR until I get up lol. (Guess I'll never tell him that I'm worried about sleeping in late, haha, he took that too seriously!)

So anyways, I awoke this morning and checked my bank account. Woohoo! Money in there from my new job! I like my job now lol! I think I just had to see the money in the account to want to continue working!

Sooo with that announcement here's a few more:

1. I called AT&T and made sure that I was eligible for my upgrade, told them my plans regarding the LG Shine (El Sueño: Yup! I've decided to get it!) and I told them that I'm paying the rest of my late bill as we speak. I paid it and they told me as soon as I paid it it would come up automatically as paid and everything would be great. I clicked that "Pay" button and it WAS automatic as she told me "Yup! It now says you are eligible for an upgrade!"

YAY! So I quickly called up Wirefly and went through this LONG process lol to get my FREE (yes, I SAID FREE! Just $9.99 for shipping!) LG Shine!

Right now my order is undergoing Quality Assurance. I suppose that means they are testing the equipment and making sure it works good? Awesome.

I think AT&T already approved me too. Gosh, I love that word: APPROVED. Feels good.

UPDATE: The LG Shine is officially on its way! Woohoo! :D


#2. The book I recently got to order that I've wanted for like E-V-E-R came today! What a surprise since it was scheduled to come tomorrow! Woohoo! How excited and ecstatic I am to finally be able to read it! It looked SO interesting and NOW it's in my hands lol!

#3. Cele and I still don't know if it's true or NOT, but something has possibly developed between us.


Are you ready?








You're NOT going to believe this!
















I'm telling ya!












Ready?













*Deep breath*
















































































































I just wanted to freak ya'll out...who KNOWS what you'd be thinking ja ja ja. Cele received a phone call today as well as text message saying his phone number was chosen and has won $1000. He was ALL excited and says "If it's true, I'm giving you 1/2." How nice!

Do I believe it? I'm kind of leery because who KNOWS how they got his #. I am HOPING it IS true though. I can put that money towards my car I'd like to get...or just put the money in savings for emergencias.

We shall see tomorrow what comes of that.


Well that's all for now! I've got to go lavar los trastes. Cele taught me that. I always used to say lavar los platos but he told me since I am not just washing plates that it is correct to say los trastes. Hmm, who would have thought?

Ciao! :)
