  • An Unfinished Life...

    The year is winding down. Four years ago if someone had told me everything I have gone through since high school graduation was going to happen I would have laughed...a lot. Leaving Texas for Buffalo, New York, then leaving New York for California. Honestly, it seems crazy. I did plan Buffalo. I loved Buffalo. I did not love the distance however. I miss Buffalo. I miss knowing that if I had stayed I would be graduating this year and embarking on some kind of other crazy journey. I guess I understand a lot about life know more then I used to. I know that Plano is a big bubble of comfort and has absolutely no concept of the real world. I love my friends there, but really you guys need to get out of Texas and see how everyone else lives. I know if I had stayed in Texas for college I probably would have never left. Yes sometimes I miss the comfort and the life I left four years ago. I also know I'll be back to visit again when I can, but I don't think I could ever go back and live there. There's just too much of the old Jacci there and she's grown a lot. I'd be afraid to step back and become comfortable again. I think on some level I won't ever be completely comfortable no matter where I am.  I think these last fours years have taught me not to get too comfortable because eventually you leave, or someone you love leaves and things get messy. I think most of this entry comes from the fact that most of the people I love have left me, or I them. It seems to work out that way. It's cool having friends scattered aross the country, but it also sucks when I can't spend a random weeknight with them. I couldn't tell you how much all those people have impacted my life, there are simply no words. Even though I left these places and these people. I feel more like they have left me, and that's probably because I left an unfinished life in each of these places. I feel broken and scattered in each of these places, like I left a piece of myself. Pieces I don't think I'll ever get back. I again here I sit with about two weeks left with most of the people I've grown to care a lot for. This time they are leaving me for graduation, life, and take a part of me with them wherever they go. You'd think it would get easier to deal with change, and part of me feels numb to it, but there's that other part that cares enough to start again.

    Timing is everything...

    So I got to thinking about how I haven't checked this in two years. Almost two years to the day, crazy I know. I don't really know why I stopped updating this, but I assume it was my busy schedule and the huge transformation everyone made to Facebook and Myspace. I have to say I don't vent on those, it's not as private and I don't trust putting my thoughts out there like that. I have a load on my mind at the moment and I thought I should update my once loyal readers...

    Well hello, it's been a while. How are all of you? I'm doing pretty well. I've been recently battling an interesting sickness, which I am pretty sure is ulcers. All the other testing has come back fine, so this weekend I'll know if I'm crazy or not I guess.

    Moving on, school is ok, except for the month I missed being sick. It's stressing me out because I really want to graduate next year and start my own life away from the annoyances of exams. San Jose has grown on me, but I still miss the East coast and my friends back in Texas. I just have to get through this last month and hopefully everything will work out.

    My love life, or lack their of, is the same as it was two years ago. I'm going to be 23 in September and I still haven't had a real relationship. That's probably the most stressful thing of all. I feel like the older I get the less time I actually have to experience something like that before...well before marriage becomes next on my list of worries. I know times are different now, but I always thought it would happen right after college. I guess there are things I want to do with my life, travel, try and make it on my own in a strange city, and find more of myself. I guess maybe that's why I haven't had a relationship. It's hard to say that though. I mean most of my friends found themselves in the process of going through relationships and breakups. I wonder if I will have that type of life changing experience. I mean sure I've dated a few guys, and ended it before it really began because I wasn't happy or attracted to those guys as much as I should have been. It wasn't fair to pretend. I mean they say you know when you meet them, and honestly I knew it wasn't right when I met them. I thought it was just me being picky or thinking it was normal to question how I actually felt about them at the time. If I'm not 100% attracted to someone, it's not going to work. That's means physically, intellectually, emotionally and well religiously. I have a comfort level and I need that met. I also know I have high expectations. If I told you...well most of you know, but if I told you what kind of man I wanted to marry you would think I'm crazy! I really only have one main requirement and it has to do with him playing a certain sport...yeah he needs to be a hockey player, not necessarily a pro because the other things, the details, will fall into place. I can't help it. I need someone to be as passionate or more passionate about a sport I've loved my whole life. I want that. Plain and simple, no if's and's or but's about it. It has to happen. Ok, you can call me crazy now.

    So when will my life fall into place? When will I be completely satisfied with who I am and what I'm doing? When will that man enter my life? When? Who knows...but it's like they say, whoever they are, timing is everything.

  • I read this article a few days and I thought it was really interesting. It was talking about women and their attraction the so-called "bad boys". It had men and women commenting on the situation and what "good guys" can do to compete, and win. It also said that women in their early 20's are more likely to go for a "bad boy". I have to admit there is something very attractive about someone who is more reckless and carefree. In fact I'm kind of going through this with someone right now. He is definetly not my type, if I have a type. You could def call him a "bad boy". Trust me I'd like a nice guy, but they are harder to find in my opinion. It's probably because the bad boys are pretty showy, so they get more attention focused on them. I just thought it was interesting to share with you guys. In the meantime, I am going to try and not like this "bad boy" because the good girl in me knows that it's proabably not a good idea...but it would be fun...lol. Don't worry I'm only kidding, you people should know I'm the last person to do something crazy like that.

    Onto something else...work. It is killing me actually. My boss keeps asking me if I can work extra hours, which is cool cause I need the money, but not cool because I'm losing sleep and I now have 72 hours to read 300 pages (of a book I don't like) and write a huge paper on it. Now, part of it is my fault because I have been putting it off for a while. Anyway this Saturday is Cal Day. The day where incoming freshmen run around the campus and buy everything in our store. I have to be there at 7:30 and my boss wants me to stay as long as I can. There in lies the problem. I wasn't even supposed to work in the first place. I don't want to stay till closing, but I know we are ahort on staff right now and he needs me to help out. I really hate to let people down or leave them short when I can help in any way. That's a curse I got from Dad. Haha, so I feel bad saying no. I guess I need to learn how to do that, do they offer a class for that? Haha!

    Let's see...school...is school, it sucks what can I say. I am def not looking forward to summer either because... you guessed it, I have to take a full semesters worth of classes. Yippie...I guess by the time I get to SJSU I can have a real college life with a social life and good times. But does that mean I have to sacrifice almost a year without them. Now yes I do like Cali more than I used too, but I still don't have the kind of friends you can share things with or even go to a movie with. It's starting to get to me again, at least I have some contact with co-workers and stuff, but nothing ever comes out of that. Most people in my classes are older and have kids, or you know you don't talk to them anywhere outside of class. I guess it's harder when you don't live at school. I'm just hoping for a speedy rest of the semester and summer so I can get back to being in college for real. I really miss that, a lot.

    Well, I'm pretty sure I've written a lot, so I'll update again soon, leave some comments!

    Sing, But Keep Going

    So I said I'd update about my week with laura and everything. It was a blast and really surreal having her here. We went to the zoo and the aquairum, shopping and stuff and just talked and stuff it was great. If any of you come visit we are so going to the zoo it's extremely awesome. I've missed having a girlfriend to rant and catch up with. Although my schedule didn't allow me to see her that much, it was fun. I was getting used to spending weekends and stuff on my own, so having her here to hang out with and be stupid with was just what I needed, but I wish I could have that all the time! Just like my parents and brother always say it will take time to get there with people. I kind of have a feeling I won't have those kind of friends until I transfer to SJSU. I've already contacted this club that I'm really excited about and talked with the co-creater and another member. It's called Spartan Squad, it's a school spirit club. Those of you who know me, know I'm all over that considering I was the only one at UB who knew the fight song and I got really into any game I went too. So, I'm completely excited about this, eventually I guess I'll have the opportunity to become a squad lead (they get to lead the chants and stuff at the games/events, and set up other things to get school spirit around the campus). They get these really cool blue and gold striped ties to distinguish them from other members of the club (because anyone can be a member by just signing up for the club), it's a lot like the Mighty Maniacs at UB but a little more involved and they don't run out of shirts! I'm still mad that I never got one, haha! Anyway, I am getting really excited about going back to a real college life, cause Vista doesn't have one. So I'm still waiting for my spring break it's in april the 10-16, my Dad and bro have theirs this week so the baseball team is actually going down to Texas tomorrow (Lubbuck) to play some games there and Nevada also. I wish I could go, I know people at Tech and I'm sure those of you that are close would come see me...lol. Oh well I'm planning on coming down sometime this summer hopefully. Well, I've been rambling so I'll wrap it up...I'll write again soo, hope everyone has a great weekend and week!

  • So I've decided that when they advertise California they should tell you that the northern part is nothing like the southern part. It's been raining a lot lately here and it's like beach weather in socal. I didn't sign up for this. Haha.

    Let's see besides the weather works going pretty good, I mean sometimes it's sucks, but it's work. I mean if were supposed to be awesome all the time they would have picked a better word to call it. School's good too, except that I have midterms this week, two on wednesday...gross. I am going to be going crazy that day.

    The good news is that a friend of mine from Buffalo is coming to visit me tomorrow for a whole week. She was my nieghbor before I left UB. I am so excited, and I even took off work, which was smart since I have midterms. I am really excited about her coming because she is the first friend to come out here! I'm hoping the weather will start to clear up so we can do some major sightseeing. I haven't been able to do much since we moved here. I wish she was staying closer to me though, she's staying by the san fran airport which is across the bay bridge from me. I may not be able to see her everyday she's here, but at least I will have a friend to hang with for a while! yay!

    Guess that's it for now I'll let you know how my week went!

    Later...
