The Overload

Really Odd

Started working again. Life has been pretty un-interesting cause the whole routine of working has been a little dreadful, however, I love the cash money!!! I’ve currently been looking into cooking and healthier life styles. Nothing much has been going on lately, just hanging and catching up with friends once and a while. Hopefully think won’t be the rest of my life haha, it’s super normal.

2012 has been good to us and I’m not too sure about 2013. I miss the past year cause there were so many moments to cherish. Driving down to Florida with friends and having these crazy stories about experiencing life down south. Graduating, interning, finding a job… Felt all too fast. Many emotions, many memories. I’m excited to see what’s in store for 2013. It’s weird of me to not create a new years resolution, but I’m just gonna wing it this year. Apparently you get more things accomplished that way.

December is supposed to be a happy time. A time where giving is appropriate simply because you want to give. On top of that, it is a time to heal wounds from 2012 that shouldn’t be carried into 2013.

2013 will be a rude awakening cause I will be 23, living an average life and expecting more from myself than ever. Excited to see my roommate in January and I’m looking forward to catching up. I will also take a vacation some place nice, and culturally different. Goodbye 2012 welcome 2013.

Sidenote, I wonder how Christmas will be this year…

It’s afternoon time and I’m about to get ready for work! I finally recieved my money back from the weekend trip after bothering the guy forever so I might cash that out.

Christmas is around the corner and I haven’t done my shopping yet. We are doing a yankee swap like last year, so I wonder how things will play out because there was a little disappointment between few of the family members and their gifts. A yankee swap was fun, although it made things awkward. This weekend I went to some sci-fi bookstore in brooklyn with my co-worker and needless to say, it was pretty cool.

The place is only opened 3 days a week and specializes in old 70-90s sci-fi books. Anyway, I gotta run to cash this check. See ya soon!

Last week a bunch of friends and I went to lake harmony, thank goodness everything went well. I should be getting my deposit money back soon if everything goes well.

For thanksgiving, I’m thankful for a lot of things. One thing that I’m thankful for is my experiences. Without all the experiences that I’ve had, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. It’s funny that I say this because I told myself that I never want to change. However, now that I’m seeing the world in a new perspective, and open to trying out foods and experiencing the world for once… I’m happy. Whether it’s a good experience, or bad experience, it’s something.

I put in a minimum of 56 hours a week. I stay after my hours, spend my extra hours on projects and the rest with friends and entertainment. Will things be worth it? Will I achieve my goals and how much longer will things take.

All I need is discipline & a good cheerleader for support.

I’m getting used to the whole 7 days a week, I get chump change on the side and I’m living the dream of being a designer. However, I am motivated to push myself more. I believe that I accomplished all my New Year’s resolution for 2012 except one which was to read 30 books. I got side tracked, but I’m not putting myself down about it because there are 2 more months to reach for a goal I don’t really care much for. I read the paper daily & that is pretty much all I read a day. WIll reading 30 books make me a better person? No. So why stress out over something so small.

My friend Ashley is moving away in a few months & I must make the time to see her. She’s piecing her life together quite well, but I’m not ready to start my life until I really work for what I want to do. And even when I accomplish my goals, there’s always, always room for improvement.

Money is tight, as always. Living situation is not the best, but I’m ready to start making these dreams reality.

When you turn 20, you feel like you’re all responsible and you have everything control. That’s kinda like how I’m feeling.

Anyway, been thinking about taking a trip to some place amazing. Not sure where, but that’s a 2013 goal. Somewhere out of the country so I can seriously just get away and experience something new for once. I can’t be one of those people content with living in the states and never fully experiencing what life has to offer.

Trying out food, experiencing culture, learning and networking with people, spending time with great friends, being a family person. That’s all.

Appreciate the small things, expect more than you can imagine and just reach your fullest potential. Take the flaws, accept them and find people who will appreciate them.

Happy belated birthday to me! I was surprised at the amount of people that wished me a happy birthday. I didn’t do much for my birthday since it wasn’t on a weekend, but I did get to hang out with a few friends & I think my one friend is taking me out on Monday so that should be fun.

Work has been going well, work is work. Can’t complain.

A little thing that ticked me off today was when someone told me that I wasn’t a ‘painter.’ Granted that I don’t paint often, it annoyed me that someone told me that I wasn’t. Part of me fed into that comment, but after about an hour or so I realized that these people are simply jealous. There was no reason to say that I wasn’t & that there was nothing accomplished by saying something like that. Often, these people are referred to as gatekeepers. They prevent you from doing things that you want to do.

I can do whatever it is I want to do.

I never liked coffee until now. I used to think it was gross, it tasted nasty, and why wouldn’t I want a fruit smoothie instead. Now I’m pretty much really into it because it keeps me up & I feel like superman with it. So I buy a cup of coffee daily & now I’m starting to start my mornings off with it so I can kick start my day (I love it).

Anyway, to back track my day I went to this awesome place with my friend Ashley called Burger and Barrel and it was delicious! Loved the crab dip it (it’s amazing) and I wanna go back soon. I’m trying to have a ‘life’ celebration every month where I can just talk about what has been going on and just how much I appreciate my life.

I picked up knitting again, but I haven’t had much time to do it. It’s getting there though, so that’s good. After work today, I went out with a family friend and we had dinner at this japanese restaurant called Kenka which was decently good. I enjoyed myself it was nice.

Tomorrow I may or may not have my first mexican bulldog. We will see. My goal is to read Perks of being a wallflower before it comes out, maybe I’ll buy the book at Strands soon. That’s it for now, I’m thinking about getting new sneakers. Maybe a yellow pair lol
