Updates!

So I got today off work to "write my paper" for the research project.. And here I am, wasting time and desperately needing to pack.  Moving to the duplex in 1week!!!

Oh yes, and we're engaged!!!  I think it's finally starting to sink in, but I'm still deliriously happy.  July 4th, 2010 was a wonderful, wonderful day.. Sweet Eugene's in the morning, Hard Rock Cafe Houston for lunch, Wicked in the afternoon, Galveston and fireworks in the evening, engaged by nightfall!!  <3

We're completely clueless about the wedding..  I don't even know if it will be in Argentina or in Texas!  We'll see, I suppose.. :]  

P.S.:  I love this ring!  :] :] :]

Boredom in Lake Dallas

Sometimes when I've been really bored for most of the day, I can't stand to just go to sleep without feeling like my day was complete.  Sadly, this seems to just prolong the already long day and I am still bored.

Got my hair cut by my mother today!  She did a pretty freaking fantastic job, too.  And it was free.  :]  So I know eventually I need to get away from my long hair security blanket.. it's not very professional of veterinarians to have really long wannabe Shakira hair.  But for now, I refuse to go short.

Got to hang out with Lauren tonight.  Ate a delicious and way filling pizza.  Which is fine, my get fit diet can start tomorrow.. or the next day.  Anyway, it was fun.  :]

I miss Aaron.  I think that's the common trend linking my blogs.. I apparently only remember to blog when I'm lonely.

Everyone is graduating!!!!  Jessica is leaving CS for good, too.. I bought her a pretty nifty graduation present, if I do say so myself.  :]  I will miss her so much!  She's such a great friend, and is always up for anything.. I wish we had hung out more this past year.  I guess it was my fault for always being busy.  I certainly don't want to lose touch.

Speaking of graduations.. I guess I could go on to mention Aaron graduating.  He's not exactly going anywhere after that, so it's a lot less bittersweet and a lot more of just.. congratulations!!!  It will be nice to have everyone together to celebrate with him.  Even my girls!!!  They are coming with Mami and Papi to have a test run visit to my apartment.  Hopefully that goes well.  (They were too cute tonight... chasing some low-flying moths around the house, snapping at the air and bouncing everywhere!)  Totally don't know what to get him for a graduation present.. most likely an I O U.  :P

This is him posing with a gig'em statue made of pennies.. on our night out with Jessica and Emma.  I think the penny stacks next to it said howdy somehow.  I couldn't tell.  Fun times. :D

I miss being able to hang out with my sister more.. she's so busy!  I was never this busy in my first year.  I feel like such a slacker comparing my younger self to her.  I'm very impressed.. but also wish she had more time to do things like.. ice cream outings.  And late night youtube videos.  And she's about to leave for the whole summer..

Seester and me.  <3

End of First Year..

It's Saturday evening and I'm sitting on my couch with my little cat curled up beside me.  Aaron should be home in about 15 or 20 minutes.

I was just reflecting on the fact that in two weeks I'll be completely done with my first year of vet school!  It's been such a wild journey.  I know I complain about having to study all the time, and I cry some days out of sheer exhaustion and frustration..  but I bet I've learned more and done weirder things than most people can even imagine.  The really awesome part is that I love it more and more.. I really see myself in this profession.  It's exciting and rewarding and just so fun.

I also want to point out that I don't think I would have made it through this crazy year without Aaron.  He has been amazing to me.  So many days I'd come home after being at the vet school all day and he's in the kitchen making me dinner.   He's been the best friend anyone could ever dream of.  :)  I'm incredibly lucky to have someone like him.

I hung out with Jessica for the first time in a long time yesterday.  We had so much fun!  I will be so sad to see her leave CS forever.. she's moving back to Dallas on May 15.  I really hope we can stay in touch.

This is a picture of the duplex Erin and I are renting starting late July.  :)  It's BEAUTIFUL..

Random summer plans:

• get in shape (healthier food and actually go work out)
• make lots of money
• play WoW with Lorn and Colleen and Lindsay or buy Sims3.. or both!
• shadow at a new veterinary clinic
• have exciting camping adventure
• watch EVERY SINGLE world cup game.. on a nice tv
• go see my sister play in Houston with Bluecoats
• build Ollie a better rabbit habitat
• buy prettier furniture and sell some of the crap I have now
• paint

Ok Aaron should be back any minute now.  Signing off!

Spring Break 2010

I'm a poser-blogger and I got jealous of Lauren's blog...  I really don't have much of interest to say.

Headed back to College Station to dedicate the last bit of Spring Break to the anatomy gods..  But I will get to see my Aaron.  And my Kiwi cat.

Happy birthday to Kathleen and Kevin!  :]  I hope they were good ones!!

Really need to be getting to bed now since I'm getting up just after 6, followed by the usual 3.5 hour drive.

back home

So. Back in Lake Dallas, chilling with my family. :] Missing Aaron like crazy!!! Wish he could just come up with me but he has to work. Now I'm just wishing he would call since I think he's getting off work any minute.

I got my vet school packet today. It's so incredibly expensive.. I think I may have to spend close to $850 for books this summer. And not to mention all the lab coats/coveralls/dissection kits/etc.. Who knew stethoscopes go for over $100? :[ So long cute apartment.. There won't be any money left to make it look nice.

Need a haircut!

So bored and sad!!!

I'm so annoyed with myself for leaving all studying for my genetics exam tomorrow for tonight. Why why why why?!

And eating cookies and Starbucks for dinner does not make me feel well. I just feel even more guilty and a little nauseated.

Wish Aaron would come back.. :[ Can't really ask him to though; it's not fair for him to be sitting here, dying of boredom, while I try and fail to study. I'm allowed to have selfish thoughts as long as I keep them to myself.

On the up side, I finished my scary biochem homework! And the quiz tomorrow should be fairly simple.

Gosh, I can't wait until next year when I finally get my own place. I'm just crossing my fingers that I'll have enough money or find things cheap enough to be able to make it cozy.

Happy day.. :]

I had a really wonderful day today. Went out to Wills Point and went fishing with Aaron. I didn't catch anything (which I was actually thankful for because I have no interest in giving a fish a mouth piercing for no reason) but we got to sit and talk for a really long time. I guess it just makes me realize how much I really love him and how much I'm enjoying my life nowadays. It's a pretty wonderful feeling. :]

Had a great time celebrating St. Patty's day! I hope we all get to hang out again soon.. and not have to wait until the summer or something.

Speaking of fun things to do... I think Aaron and I are going camping again in a couple weeks! The week of Relay for Life, I think. Aaron's dad bought us a camping stove thing (which was so sweet and it took Aaron completely by surprise), so we'll be able to cook just about anything. I suspect it will also be a little bit warmer and less windy this time. We'll bring the fishing poles, too, and I want us to do some wildlife photography or something of the like. Anyway, I hope Erin and Jeremy can come. I think it would be even more fun if we had more people there to hang out with. :D

My sister's birthday is in the morning!!! More cake and naughty food. Ugh! The diet is coming hardcore once I get back to College Station.
