My Brain is about to Explode!
I seriously need to write before my mind exceeds capacity. Honestly not a lot has been going on, but then again I am stressed, anxious, excited, and happy about everything going on and about to go on....anyway...I ended my blog last time being stressed about my brothers party and my two jobs. Well in that aspect nothing much has changed. I work like crazy trying to get enough money to pay for the party, pay a loan, a credit card bill, put a down payment on my senior boots, have spending money for the school year, and try to help my family out in whatever way I can. I recently got my first traffic ticket, so I have to pay that too. With the traffic ticket comes a funny, memorable story though. Well my friend Erica has been planning to go to a soccer camp down here at A&M all summer long, and she had been planning to stay with me. She lives in Decatur and I was supposed to meet her parents half way to bring her down.Well that didn't work out so I went to get her at around 8 pm on the Sunday before last. Me and my friend Jay left to get her. Usually it takes me about 2.5 hours to get home....a usual 3.5 hour drive. Yea, I go super fast. Bit I was telling Jay how I had never gotten lunch detention ever in high school, or after school, and how I planned to keep a perfect record. Well when I get into Paradise, (4 hours later by the way) a state trooper pulls me over for going 68 in a 60. The stupid thing is that I passed him and I knew he was behind me, but I didn't think they could clock you from behind....I'm an Aggie, mind you. Well he did and he asked me where I was coming from and stuff, and I told him we were both students from A&M, and I think thats why he gave me a ticket. I know it sounds dumb, but I am for real!! After I told him we were Aggies he stood there for a bit and I was so sure that he was gonna let us go, but no. He's like "Well, I'm gonna have to give a citation." And stupid me, I was like, "Oh thank you so much," because I thought that meant warning. I was like "Jay, whats a citation?" Well anyway, now I have to take defensive driving so that sucks, but oh well. I didn't tell my aunt either, so I am trying to do this without her finding out, so everyone, lets keep it on the DL :) Anyway...we picked Erica up and drove back. It was almost 1 am by the time we picked her up and we still decided to go to a club in Ft Worth. I met this cool homeless black guy though on the streets. I swear people know I am country when I say 'Howdy' to everyone...and I mean everyone...and I start conversations with homeless people. I am so naive, and I have yet to learn my lesson. We got back to College Station super late and I had to work early Monday morning. It was fine though, and I had a super time with Erica down here with me. We had a lot of fun and did some crazy stuff. One night we got a little....'light headed.' Lol. That was so crazy. I don't do that often, but it was fun. Erica was really messed up though...I won't go into details for her sake, haha. We went clubbin and out to eat like a million times. We had some good talks and she met some of my friends down here. Some of them I regret introducing her to, but whatever. I love my Erica! She definitely had fun at the club and at camp....right Erica? ;) I took her home Sunday and came back to CS for work on Monday. Erica's visit seriously was the best part of my summer. I can't believe it'll all be over in like 2.5 weeks. Its been awesome. I started out with a few friends here, and now I know so many more people. I kind of got into a small relationship, but not really. It never worked out. Whats weird though is that I met someone at the beginning at the summer and we've hung out, talked, had fun times, and now we're dating. I never saw myself dating them, but I've never felt this way for anyone. I am at a really good point right now with most things. Some of things not included are being in shape and my faith. I started out the summer working out like crazy and now I am super fat. I think I gained the freshman 15 in like 3 weeks. Not really, but I am out of shape. Also, I don't feel as close to God asI did in the early parts of my freshman year. There are just so many questions I have, mainly about the Catholic faith, and some aspects of Christianity in general. Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer, I just don't understand why one huge aspect is divided into minute separate religions with different viewpoints. Does this make sense? I tend to question a lot...sometimes dumb questions...sometimes ones no one can answer. I am thinking og putting my two weeks notice in at Sonic. I get tired of it, despite how awesome the people are. The other day I dropped a box of like 40 extra long weiners, lol. I think my manager was mad. And yesterday I spilled half a bottle of watermelon slushy flavoring. I think he was mad again. I had to clean it up and my hands are still kind of red from it. As for now I am going to enjoy being with my boo and working till the 13th when I return to A&M to get ready for the nasty class of 2010. My brothers thing is on the 19th. FOW officially starts the 20th. Classes start the 28th...and the stress begins. I'll be managing a job, a relationship, classes, the Corps, the band, being an Exec for an organization, planning a high school conference for November, and getting ready for the Marine Corps. No sweat, right? I am a Mexi CAN, and plus, I'm an Aggie :) Until next time, Gig 'em, and smoke '10.

One Month Left...
Well things are good. Crazy, as always, but I am contempt and happy with everything going on. My life has been very stressful lately, but its all little things. I haven't really been looking at the big picture lately, however I have spent a large amount of my time focusing on the day to day problems that never seem to end. I have found another job, but I am still working at Sonic. I like Sonic. It has become 'fun.' The managers are cool and the other employees are frikin awesome. I found another job at this place called Jose's Fine Mexican Food. Its one of the one thousand Mexican food places in Bryan-College Station, however this place has 'fine Mexican food,' hence, the name. Basically it's a nice, semi-fancy place to go eat Mexican food. I work there part time and the money is really good. Most days I work at Jose's from 11-2:30 and and work at Sonic from 2:30 to 10ish. Crazy. I know. But it keeps me busy, and it keeps my mind of other things. Money has sucked lately. I had $0.18 in my account the other day. I am working of course, but I just have a lot to worry about. My brother's quince anos thing is coming up. I am in charge of the surprise gift. He is having a quiceanero with my cousin, so its a 'two-in-one' sort of thing, like most Mexican parties are. So, there is a lot of competition, although its not mentioned, so...my gift has to be better than my cousins gift he receives from his gift patron. I have a few ideas on what to get my brother, but I am not sure. Honestly, this gift is a big reason I got a second job. I was thinking of getting him a PSP. Thats my main idea. Any others? I also wanted to get him like some new clothes from like Abercrombie, Hollister and stuff, cause he doesn't wear that stuff usually. It would be nice if he did though. I need to find something to wear to the party too. Its supposed to be a big deal, like 200-300 people, maybe more, depending on what else is going on in Wise County. BTW, the party is on August 19th at the Pavillion in Decatur, for whoever is in the area, and wants to go. Everyone is welcome! It should be loads of fun. But anyway...I got to go home for the Fourth of July, but came back the next day. It was good to see everyone, as always. I have a month exactly before I have to be back for FOW. Its gonna go by super quick. But I gotta run, so I'll write more later. I hope everyone is having a great summer.
