WAALAH

spring is a wonderful time of the year. however, spring makes me procrastinate because it is so lovely outside that I just don't want to do anything, but go get a smoothie, frappacino, boba, or go swimming, or take a nap. I would like to say spring has caused me to be super behind in everything. By next week, I must have about 40pgs written, all separated into 4 diff essays. Yes, i know...i can't blame spring. So instead of writing my essay write now, I chose to blog, because I have not done so for ages. In 8 days, my cousin, Raymond, will no longer be a Bachelor. I would say the family is ready for this! We are super proud of him and I can't wait to wear my new dress that i've had for months and have never worn yet. I got it on sale at Macy's! Plus, i'm also really excited I get to see my family. I love family gatherings. and good chinese foood....so bring it on!

Today was my last day working at 107.9 The End, KDND (its like 102.7 KIIS )radio station. It was a lil sad, but not really. I'm transfering to a sister station, 106.5 KWOD (its like KROQ in LA), which is in the same buidling, so I'll be bound to see old coworkers. Hopefully i'll learn more. I had an interview last wk at Arco Arena for the Sac Kings & Monarchs,...hope it went ok.

This summer I'm taking one class each summer session and they are easy classes..i think...so shouldnt be too bad. Another HOT summer in Davis...woopee

its been getting so hot here in davis that I keep drinking loads of water to cool myself down...that i have to pee a lot! So i'm gonna end this blog and go pee...later gators! cya ya guys (family) in 7 days (friday) for the rehearsal!!! woohoo!!!

o wait...one more thing....for all you Star Wars fans..go eat at burger king and get a kids meal and you get a cool squirt toy...i have jar jar binks! they have like 6 of them each time...so ask them which ones they have and they'll let you pick...i wanted princess amadala, but i though jar jar was a better choice.

SPRING IS HERE

with spring comes the good and bad. Allergies = BAD...i swear i sneeze like 20 times a day. SPRING FORWARD = good and bad. Good because the sun sets at 8pm and bad bc i lost an hour in my day, which I got over already. Another good is that spring is a beautiful time of the year. It's not too hot, not too cold, definitely my favorite season of the year. Also with spring is the excitement of summer coming.

So much has been happening that it has been more than a month since i wrote in this thing. Things are going ok. My classes are not as interesting as last quarter. They seem a bit hard. I'm trying not to stress like I did last quarter. I must've gotten sick like 4 times last quarter. It was ridiculous. This quarter...so far...no sickness yet... So far my summer is uncertain, but as of right now..i'm already Senior status and freaking out. I have one year left till the government (and my mom)says..."you have to pay for everything on your own." SCARY! As of right now...i have no income...i quit Hallmark and i'm working at the radio station still for units and no cash. I'm looking for summer jobs/internships and I'm also trying to graduate on time. I'm praying the internship I really really really want... will come my way. I made it past the first "mini" interview...and now i'm praying for a second. Next I will pray i get the internship. My internship with the radio station has led me into a whole new direction in terms of my future career. I'm still just as lost with what I want to do past college, but I have a new interest which will hopefully open new doors for me. Because I am already working in the marketing and promotions department at the station, I have found a great interest in this field. So I have been applying for internship positions within Marketing and Promotions departments. My mom says this isnt a very steady job field, but for now...that's all the "worth" experience I have to show for myself that will help me get places. Last Thursday I went to the job/internship fair, and I must say...the companies there are BORING! For example, who seriously wants to work for the Pest Control Center? I know a job is a job...so of course I applied at all the places within my field. After getting an interview with a small company...i decided..it was not what i wanted to do at all. So i canceled the interview because my heart wasnt in it and they kinda hinted that I would get the internship and i didnt want to waste my time nor theirs. I know a lot of people will get mad at me for this...but i will explain in detail later why i made this decision. Anywho,...please pray that my "dream" internship will come my way...bc then...i get to spend more time at home w/ the family and my home friends this summer...woohoo!

CONGRATS RAY!

my cousin Raymond got engaged this week to Sandra Wright. I am so proud of him. Although he did not get my total approval yet since I have not yet met her,...from the good things I have heard of her, I will give him a temporary approval stamp. We no longer have to worry about our 30 yr old bachelor...hehe j/k ray! i love you...congratulations...you make me even more prouder of you!

(last night i worked the One tree hill tour...which i will update you in a later blog on how that went... :o) )

What Lakers player are you? Payton Based on highly unscientific assessment, you are more like Payton because when you order a burger you wish you could be the one who says, "Do you want fries with that?" And when you get your meal, you would be the first one to hand it over to the homeless guy out in the parking lot. But when the poop hits the fan in a moment of stress it was probably you who manufactured it. Your best career choices are: restaurant manager, the guy who reaches the stuff on the bottom shelf for Yao Ming. You are Napoleon Dyanamite and a buttload of gangs are trying to recruit you.

WEAR & TEAR

So after reading Vic's blog about how he has always been the naive guy who tries to do nice things for people and just gets shot down and underappreciated (if that's a word), I realized...i'm the same way. It amazes me how hard you try to please people and in the end...although you feel good, it makes you upset because you end up getting criticized by others rather than praised. Lately I feel Ive been so underappreciated and mistreated unfairly by people, especially my roomate, Robyn. Ever since we told her we weren't going to be living with her next year, she's been a jerk to me. I've tried making things better by talking to her like normal...like how we used to interact wiht each other before things got rough. She seemed to go along with it. Lately we have been running low of house supplies, and Franchesca comes up to me i nthe kitchen and was like"...I was gonna do the dishes for us (as if us meant my dishes...which none of the dishes were mine), but we don't have any more dishwashing soap." She then opened the cupbaord and showed me that there was a bottle w/ nothing in it. SO i was like" ...o so there's nothing in that bottle there?" and she replied that there wasn't. So i was like "so fran if there's nothing in that bottle, why did you jus leave it there and not jus throw it away...is it for decoration?" I admit i shouldnt have been sarcastic with her like that but that was the second time she did that in this wk! Earlier in teh week she used up the aluminum foil and said "oh no were out of foil...can you go buy some?" and then put the container bak in the drawer! I had to say something to her then also....who in their sane mind would do such a thing??? If its used up..go throw the thing away! And then I had to expalin to her that i'm not in charge of getting house supplies and it was rude of her to assume i'm the one who should buy everything.

So yesterday I bought out house supplies anyways, like TP, paper towels, dishwashing detergent, etc.... It's not even in my job description to be doing that...we didn't designate that job to me at all...I just do it because we were in desperate need of house supplies and I wanted to do a good thing and go out and get the stuff bc I had a spare hour in my day to do it. So I come bak and I see Robyn and say hi and asked her if she noticed all the new supplies I bought and she was like..yea thats great. She didn't even thank me or anything but i wasnt expecting much from her. Then I put up a note on the fridge for how much each person owes me for the house supplies. Then i hear from Nicolette that Robyn was mad at me bc she thinks i'm a mean person (which i have no idea why...maybe just bc i dont want to live w/ her anymore) and that she asked nickel to tell me to put up the receipt on the fridge bc she thinks i'm cheating them out of money! After living w/ her for 2 yrs and trusting one another and never ever putting up a darn receipt on the fridge for anythign or anyone, she refuses to pay me back for house supplies until i put a receipt on the fridge. That really hurts that not only she's talking to me bc she feels she has to be civil...but also that she doesnt trust me and thinks i would cheat them out of moeny. I tried so hard lately to try to make things bak to normal and she doesnt even want to talk to me...I tried not being immature about the whole situation but if she really doesnt want to talk to me...she shouldnt fake it. She should jus ignore me if thats how she really feels. And if she odesnt want to pay me for house supplies, then she she go buy her own supplies and not use my cleaning supplies nor my TP...she can use her hand for all i care. Robyn knows how busy I am with two jobs and school and she doesnt even work nor have an itnernship...i think she should have time to go buy supplies...I get so frustrated with these people who can't be considerate or at least civil to me...i don't thin kI did anything wrong to them that should make her hate me so much. I have enough stress to deal with...i can't wait to go home...

so i'm finally not sick anymore! thank GOD! all this stress has been killing me and I keep getting sick, getting better, getting sick again..its ridiculous! Anywho, so this past couple of wks have been a little less stressful...mainly i've been forcing myself to relax and squeeze in catnaps. However, let the stress continue for next wk i have 4 papers and one presentation due. Yeah,...it sucks. One paper due Monday and also one presentation, and 2 papers due tues (orginally 3 but the third got moved), and the moved paper got moved to thurs. I'm not sure I'm likeing my major too much. That's what happens when you take all CRD classes & 1 English class. I guess I enjoy the papers more than studying for tests. That's what CRD classes are...writing papers..and not too many tests. I am definitely better at the paper writing than the studying method. So i'll admit I dont' attend my 6-8pm class much. It's a drag to go to class late and by then, i'm exhausted. I have made a few friends in my major and so it makes life easier on me. So i had my one and only midterm in all my classes last wk. I didn't read the readings efficiently and rarely ever went to that class bc frankly, his lectures suck and are a waste of time. So when he gave us a study guide,...i was a bit lost bc it was material you could easily BS but still have to add in some random points from reading and lectures. So i reviewed my study guide which i knew nothing about w/ friends. Our whole class is outa 100 pts and our midterm was worth only 15 pts. I got my midterm back today and got a 14.5/15! Crazy huh? never in my life have i gotten in A on a midterm...actually i'm not sure ive ever gotten an A in anything except Chinese 1 and dance. I think our teacher graded reall yeasy bc I know i deserved like a D or C on that midterm. The t.a. even graded easy on my paper and I got an 8/10 on my lastpaper. Hoepfully he'll grade jus as easy on my term paper which is due in a couple of wks which is worth 1/2 our grade. So rite now i'm determining what to do with my internship...do i stay and continue w/ the mad stress or do i quit and make my resume look not so good for not working that long w/ the radio station??? any suggestions cousins??? Also, should I quit Hallmark??? i'm only working like 6hrs a wk at hallmark bc i requested that little time...but if i quit now..i won't be making a few extra dollars which are helpful bc my account is low and it won't look that great to show i worked only 3 months at hallmark...i want my resume to at least look somewhat decent by saying that i worked at hallmark and the radio station for at least 6 months. so should i stay or should i go???? (haha thats a song)

What Age Do You Act?

Question: I have a virus. Who am I?

Answer: No, not a computer, a Allison.

These ugly colors I used to write in today's blog describe the ugliness I feel inside and out. I am forced to take antibiotics that make me feel woosy and I have gross mucus in my throat and eyes, yes folks, the eyes as well, which forces me to wear my Coke bottle glasses in public. My roomate's exact words were "Al, you look horrible!" Yes, my friend, I do...

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca - age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other. " Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French frieswithout making them give you any of theirs.." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny -age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen," Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6

i got an internship! @ 107.9 The End KDND radio station in Sacramento! It's a Top 40/Mainstream radio station; Sacramento's version of LA's 102.7 KIIS FM. I'm so excited. I went in for my interview and they just hired me on the spot. Unfortuntely I am required to work 15+ hrs a week w/o pay. Luckily, they offer most of their interns jobs when there are openings so if I ever needed a job later, I can most likely get one. Basically my internship description is to help the Promotions Coordinator with planning, coordinating, and setting up events. So I get to help promote the radio station and go to concerts for free. Bowling for Soup (they sing 1985, Girls All the Bad Guys Want) has a concert coming up this month so i'm hoping I can get into that for free, and Ashlee Simpson has one coming up in February which I really want to go to. Anywho, that's that. My classes are kinda boring. I have more reading to catch up on. Can you believe I got assigned 3 essays the first wk of school? Bummer... Hey Vic..."you cool?" lol
