BitterSweet/NervousExcited

Let me start off by saying I got a package in the mail this morning and it had me SUPER EXCITED! (One of the reasons 'excited' is in the title) My camera broke a couple weeks back and I was SUPER BUMMED. Especially 'cuz the holidays were going to be coming up and I'm always taking pictures. So I had mailed it out for some fixin and IT CAME TODAY! Right away I checked the address on it and I knew it was my camera and I was muy excited! So yay! It's working!!! This is me taking test photos. Lol

It's all good! =)

So yesterday, me and my friend Alma, whom I'm going to be going to school with, took a drive to San Jose to get some last minute stuff done before school starts on ... MONDAY! HELLO! Omgoodness! Time flew by. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm excited to start a new adventure. Hopefully the first stepping stones of my career. (well maybe not first, I've been going to school for what seems like forever now. lol) I'm feeling older and I need to get on track. Imma late bloomer. Most people would probably say that's fitting for me 'cuz I'm always late. ;) (Always late but worth the wait! Isn't that how the saying goes? haha) So this is a picture of my school that I took with my phone.

It's in the center of downtown San Jose. Very cool.
I'm excited to get to learn the area more.

So Christmas has come and gone. And I had a lovely mellow one at that. Kept tradition. Xmas eve was spent with my Mom's side of the family. Indulged myself in family made tamales. Which we barely finished off yesterday. We make dozens! We give many plates away. As much as I love and look forward to them, I cannot tear 'em all up myself. Haha. And just the same, Xmas day was spent with my Dad's side of family. More food. Them people like to make spreads! And coming in just two days, 2010. The new year. And I'm starting it with a fully packed school schedule. I'm so used to lawdy-dawdying it, I hope I don't get too overwhelmed. I don't have any plans for New Years. One, I don't have money to celebrate. And two, I'm not in the mood. Unfortunately a few days ago I got some sad news. A passing of someone dear to someone dear to me. I don't put any blame on anyone for changing my mood. Life happens. And it got me thinking of the ones I have lost as well. Another reason I like to look at the sky. I wonder where they are. I wonder if they can see me. I wonder if my Mom follows me on the clouds. Watches over me. Most often tho... I wonder if she misses me...
