It's sabbath & I have the urge to blog?? 
Here I go:


[] Whenever I type text lingo (lol, bc, btw, ect..) in a blog I ALWAYS backspace. But sometimes retype it back in. I feel that it might be improper?  It is a blog, I have all the room in the WOOOOOOOORRRLLLLDDDDDDDD!!! Don't I?  


[] This blog has turned out to be a photo documentation of my life.  I write short&sweet phrases and let the photos speak.  But sometimes I would like to speak out more, say whats on my mind.  Internet, is this okay with you? 


[] Today I received a Sushi cookbook from my lovely roommate, Gwen. :)  I really hope that I have enough time to try some of the receipts.  I don't normally cook.  I know, call me Crazy, call me Non-Mexican! I've NEVER had the time to cook!  It all started back in Kindergarten when my schedule was packed with music lessons and my mom preferred that I spend my time practicing and doing homework than helping in the kitchen.  I can cook up some mean cereal, oatmeal, ramen & eggs.  Don't believe me?  I'll prove it!


[] Grades are in.  It's been a goood quarter.  But thanks to Social Ecology, Family Theories & Psychopathology I now seem to analyze everything? "omg, Does she have Major Depressive Disorder? Darn! I don't have my DSM with me!" Yup, that's life for me right now.  Kind of annoying actually.  I feel like I might know more than I would like to.  But it's fun to pinpoint my family's and other families relational patterns.  I feel sneeky when I notice things like this.  But this quarter has proven to me that MFT is where I need to be.  My mind is always full of questions.  "Why is she this way?", "What can I do to help?", "What kind of therapy will work best?".  Finally, my questions are being answered.  I am not saying that after 19 units of MFT I have ALL the answers.  But that now I know where to get them and that more are coming my way.  


[] Photography:  two words --> GARY FONG!  It has enhanced my photos greatly and has made flash life easier.  Sigh, so grateful for it.  


[] Friends:  Again, no time for much socializing.  But who needs socializing when you meet people that simply understand you? During these final days of 2009, I have come to appreciate my NEWEST friends from the MFT program whom are wonderful, interesting, understanding, kind, quirky, and did I mention, intelligent?? :)  It's fun to have a group of colleagues in which you can converse about the theories, weaknesses, research and complications of MFT and still talk about boys, shopping and cookies.  :)  Life is also wonderful when you have friendships that date back to 1987!  There is little explaining to do, less conversations about why and more about what.  It's funny how a group of friends can grow up together, but the second we hit college, we're out the door!  I wish I had better communication with my friends from grade school and HS :(  But I guess that is just the way life played out.  I am overjoyed by the friendships I developed during college.  I feel long-lasting friendships coming on!!! :)


[] TV: The Hills, Cougar Town, Modern Family, The Office, Community, Glee, Parks & Recreation.  Did I really keep up with ALL these shows this year??  I really need to spend more time reading.


thanks for reading this


just some random thoughts


Happy Sabbath & Feliz Navidad! :)
