Day 1 of many posts to come!

     So I've been back home for about three and a half months and I've got to say that things really aren't going the way I had planned them. Luckily I did find a job that provides me with an income and a purpose but I'm still not content with how my life is panning out.
     However,I must say that being home again and hanging out with my sisters has been fun especially because we all take turns taking care of our little chihuahua Maxx. He's grown so much in only a year and I hope he lives forever. My parents are going through their usual shenanigans and I'm actually afraid that they aren't taking care of themselves and cutting time from their overall time. But that's beside the point and something that I've tried helping them sort out but have failed many times and have decided that I, for the moment, can do nothing to help them.
     In regards to my job I got this cool job as a paralegal at an immigration non profit org that I really actually enjoy and am grateful to have actually landed. The people at my job are kind of weird, with the exception of my boss. His name is Daniel S. and I could not have asked for a better boss, he's even got like a dorky/nerdy cuteness going on. The other people kind of have bad attitudes or aren't very sociable when they're working but I constantly feel bad because it's my general instinct to smile when I see one of them and most of the time they don't return the smile or even worse, acknowledge my presence. I think they're just busy and their heads are just in a million places. Regardless, they're extremely helpful with any questions and I'm glad they always have an answer. I love my job, first job ever and I have my own office with perfect temperature settings and clients who are usually very appreciative of the services I provide. In regards to what I provide since I didn't mention it before, I essentially fill out people's applications for either a green card/permanent resident status or fill out the paperwork necessary for them to obtain citizenship. The forms are quite easy to fill out but I'm assuming that's only because I've received training.
     Anyway, lots more to tell but I'll save some for later. Also, thank goodness that my phone doesn't have a physical keyboard and instead an on screen keyboard that doesn't require me to be clicking so many keys just to write this entry.

Bike Ride

I recently started biking again because my knees are semi-soar and cannot run as comfortably. Biking is quite fun and I always challenge myself to go further and further. Well, my bike ride on Friday didn't end so well. I ended up falling when trying to transition from the actual street to the sidewalk. I fell and apparently my sweater was good enough to not dissolve with the friction but I did end up with scrape on my right forearm and my right knee. Also, my wheel is now not straight and has a deviation which means I have to take out to get repaired. I shall, however, persevere and continue biking.

End of something beautiful

Recently the school year at ucsc ended and I must say I will miss it dearly. I met so many awesome people from so many different countries and I developed even better friendships with those who I was already friends with. Also I met some really cool people who go to my university and I had not met before but I'm sure glad I did. However, in order for any of this to happen I faced the loss (not death, just not friends anymore) of someone very special to me who I  ultimately could not continue being friends with. I shall be sad but I shall also enjoy those memories and try to make next year as cool and fun as this year. I love life.

On the road as a Graduation surprise!

Why is it that I feel weird visiting a friend your graduation? It's a simple visit, nothing much to analyze. I don't think I've thought of it too much. Where am I going to sleep, who will feed me, what will I do after? Why does my kind always dwell on the idea of not being liked by others? I wonder if anyone else thinks like I do?

Funny but True!

I myself am a warm person most of the time but really fashion doesn’t really have to hurt. I would give my jacket to any girl, any time.

I would love to find this again!

My Favorite Show Ever

My worst absolute confession is that I love this show a little too much! I watch it religiously.
