I know it’s 3 AM but technically I am graduating today! I will be walking across that stage knowing I accomplished what I said I was going to do. Four years of hard work….ok, not so hard and not including the sleeping in until noon, the partying, the clubbing, and the drinking. haha.

I remember four years ago, I graduated from HS and told my parents that I’ll be finishing college in exactly four years. I did just that! No messing up, no fcukin around, no delays. Luckily, I didn’t change my major which I know a lot of people do (do you trust an 18 year old to declare your major? not usually) and I will be having my BS in Business Management. I plan to go to grad school and hopefully have my company help me out with the financial aspect. One of the perks of today’s working environment.

For those of you don’t know, I already have a job lined up for me at one of the big consulting firms in the nation. I am pretty excited and just a tad anxious of course but that’s all normal. I will be starting in mid-june which gives me about a month to just lazy around and try to do some traveling which I doubt will happen except for Orlando. I am pretty proud of myself to say the least.

I always felt like I had to downplay my graduation and finishing school. Especially with a lot of people (friends and what not) that I know who haven’t. I felt bad “boasting” about how I was almost done with school or that I was not a “super senior” who has been spending the last six years still in school or just switching majors 5x.  There are many many people who do not need a diploma or education to become rich and successful but it’s not about that. (obviously Bill Gates is a great example of a Harvard drop out) I also know that school isn’t for some people, they are just not “that type” or they simply don’t need it.

 It’s about finishing something.  It’s about commitment. It’s about being able to say you are going to do something and do it - especially when its not instant gratification. It’s about making up your mind and sticking to it. It’s also just about knowledge, learning, and just going through that “college life” and being able to experience it. I have so many memories of college that I will never trade for anything else in the world just because it’s  a one time experience.

ok so i’m feeling a little bit better.

Back totally is hurting for some reason….I need a full on massage. *sigh* I was thinking of waiting until June, before starting to work so I could go all out and get the entire spa day treatment with lunch and everything but I may just have to get one sooner.

My family is arriving tomorrow! I have to go with my parents to the restaurant to have lunch and see what will be on the menu. It should be exciting….yummy Chinese food and to see my parents again. I think I saw them in January last? Been quite a few months to say the least.

I bought 4 tickets to see Kooza by Cirque du Soleil!! So excited but the show isn’t until November 2nd which is such a long ways away! However, I also have La Nouba to see in June so that definitely makes it better.

ALSO- great news. I think we are getting a PUPPY! (yes, another one!) It will probably be another female but a much smaller one now. Kirra is very cute but I think a smaller one would be great since having two big dogs may be a really big problem for the survival of the house! I went to the pet store today with Tony & Vicky and fell in love with a cute ass Papillon! I so want one. She is adorable and young! I want to get one from a breeder though - more repuable and of course, puppy mills are bad. If anybody knows of a papillon breeders in the northern VA area, please let me know!

Happy Mother’s Day! show you appreciate your mom today! which you should everday anyway.

Anyway, I got my own mother a bouquet of arranged different kinds of fruit with half dipped in chocolate. The pineapple flowers dipped halfway, bananas in white/dark chocolate, and half the strawberries dipped. She really liked it because it wasn’t just a bouquet of flowers which are useless and die but she loves fruit anyway! Feels pretty good to give then receive.

It is pouring outside…like badly. Rain rain everywhere. I don’t like bad weather but it makes for good excuse to actually study but of course my lazy ass won’t really study until tomorrow. I’ve been attempting to sit down and go over my notes but my attention span is always going off somewhere else.

I love Enrique Iglesias’s new song “dimelo.” The english version is named “do you know (the ping pong song)” I like the spanish version better though. It’s about time he came out with a new song! My mom used to love his songs, played them in her car all the time. Putting this song on repeat until I get sick of it or someone in the house strangles me. lol

I’ve been quite irritable today. The whole day. Pretty much woke up in a horrible mood and really bitchy & snappy.

Kirra (the dog) made me (really) mad twice so I had to yell the crap out of her and almost literally beat her ass. While usually my bad moods are alleviated by yelling at someone/thing who can’t yell at me back, this didn’t do the trick.

The boyfriend came home and of course, I was bitchy and snappy at him. Most of the time, I was telling him he didn’t do anything wrong when clearly I was acting like he did. He left to go do his real estate work and when he came home, I was still in a bad mood. Luckily, he’s been really patient, giving into my every order and sarcastic remark, and gave me a big hug - all while smiling. I know he doesn’t understand but he tries so I guess I gotta love him for that. *makes a face* I guess maybe purposly getting into a fight would not have helped to make me feel better. I should go attack a punching bag or something. ughhh or maybe it is because I have too much energy.

After that, dear ole’ Daddy got mad at me over the phone for asking a simple innocent question - in a jokingly way as well. so he blew up which didn’t make anything better. After hanging up, I ignored the rest of my family’s phone calls. My dear sister did tell me my mom got mad at him for getting mad at me so I do feel loved by dear ole’ mommy.

The only great thing today was cocoa butter (ooo love the smell!) Palmer’s cocoa butter rocks. and Pizza Hut’s pizza pan crust. with pork topping. *yummy* and their cinnamon sticks with frosting. :-D  The fact that I got BOTH study guide/reviews for my MGMT classes done so all I gotta do is STUDY my butt off until exams next week. Oh and that I’m going to be getting my “La Nouba” tickets from Cirque du Soleil in about 2 days. *woot woot*

ok bye now. going to watch House MD. since he’s permanently in a bad mood and full of sarcasm and wit. Love it.

ahh, so I changed my theme. Mostly because I just joined twitter.com and my  previous theme was not widgets-ready which made adding the flash twitter status impossible. So new theme, widget-ready, and…….yea. I still want to change a few things on the side bar and definitely customize it to make it more “me” but I’ll play around with it after this entry or later on tonight. I should make a totally customized theme but I’m so lazy….oh - go join twitter if you aren’t on it yet so I can majorly stalk you. I’m already stalking Dexter & Lambeth so everybody else needs to jump on the band wagon.

I should actually be studying for my two MGMT exams on the 13th of May (Tuesday) but lo’ and behold, I’m not. Big surprise there?

I feel so bad for the dog. She keeps coming up to me and boyfriend with toy in mouth so we can toss it around but he’s too busy killing and beating people up in his new game - GTA4 and I’m too busy typing away on the ‘net. haha. I was like, “Go bother tony!” (the roomie) but now she’s just happily chewing away on her plastic bone. I want to get another puppy, but small so I can tote it around but boyfriend says not yet. I’m going to drag him to the puppy store one day and find the cutest dog and with us BOTH giving him puppy eyes, he won’t be able to resist!

So instead of working on a final paper for one of my classes (for the last time!) I am blogging. You readers should be happy, haha.

Anyway - last night we ended up going to Lima. My friend Diego is pretty well connected in DC so there was about 15 of us that were able to get in right away and all that. We got a bottle of vodka- I think it was level. not too sure but a few of those plus some shots….well I was wasted yet again. Flashbacks have been occuring all day and nothing too embarassing like falling down the stairs but there was some drunken drama at the end which was quickly resolved today. *heart* the boyfriend. so sowwie…..he puts up so well with me. where am i gonna find somebody so patient and understanding? lol

This morning, woke up with *gasp* no hangover! Figuring i didnt sleep till about 5 or 6 am, it wasn’t a surprise. Boyfriend got up and got his haircut while I got ready and we headed over to Tysons to catch a flick - Ironman! We got there a few hours early so of course we had to get food to salvage our empty alcohol-ridden stomachs. Ended up getting buffalo wings and a philly cheesesteak. It was pretty tasty but I still couldn’t finish my half - probably the alcohol. We then headed to the theatre. Boy - it was packed! sooo full, luckily we got a few seats up but on the very side. Not the greatest view but definitely beats sitting right in the front! The movie was pretty good - Robert Downey Jr. is a cool actor, liked how it was action packed and funny. Gwyneth Paltrow had a great role in it as well as Terrence Howard.

Now…it is time to write my paper. ughhh. so lazy!

Birthday in detail…..

well since it was on a weekday, I wasn’t going to have anything or do anything big since most people had to work. The boyfriend suggested drinks at a local bar - Cafe Martini which I agreed to. We both invited our friends and I was really happy that quite a few people were able to make it - on such short notice as well.

I ended up getting toasted….i have no idea how many drinks or shots i had but i have some flashbacks of the night….wow. haha. a little embarassed but fun nonetheless. can’t blame the b-day girl for having a little too much alcohol right?

the boyfriend got me a gift that was enclosed in a little blue box. everybody knows where that’s from right? Anyway, its a sterling silver “mini hearts tag drop necklace” from the Return to Tiffany collection. So cute.
 i couldn’t get the full necklace on the tiffany page and a google search didnt come up with the right necklace.

Anyway - pretty good b-day especially compared to last year’s horrible fiasco which I hope to forget some day. This weekend, I think we will be hitting up the clubs. Feel free to come!
