    Shoulda' gone to art school...
    What do you do when you realize during your first semester into grad school that you may have wasted thousands of dollars on a degree that you will almost certainly never use? And that you may have just begun doing the same thing again?

    Um, fuck.

    I live in a little nook of the southwest loop of Chicago. I have a dog, 4 ferrets, and an extremely strange boyfriend. I have a real BS in Integrative biology. I just started work on my MA in TESL/TEFL.

    I work at the adidas store in the watertower downtown on michigan avenue. Since having been there just over a year, I've discovered something that I really like to do.

    1. to expand and get a decent job I need more school
    2. and likely to go live in New York City

    Seriously.

    I miss the time when spring break meant going home to my parents house and laying around/hanging out all week or going on a vacation.

    I spent my entire break working or moving apartment stuff back and forth.

    TIRED.

    I just want to graduate and plan the next several years of my life.

    "Getting my life in order"

    Hah. I am trying desperately to finish my crappy undergraduate degree that I will never use. ever.

    Isn't that a little normal, though?

    I'm also in the really tiring process of moving. A whole 4 blocks-ish. On the bright side, we will be closer to the lady with the good tamales by the chase bank :-/ And the apartment is awesome.

    I'M ALWAYS TIRED. goddamnit.

    Y chinga TU madre
    I like the pink line. I like fresh carnitas. Doña torta chilanga makes the best tortas ever. I am a fan of murals. I like the crappy paint job of bright blue on all of my doors and frames.

    I don't like when there is no parking at güero. I don't like pot holes. I don't like chile on my pinche papas! Or the dude on archer and california who pretends to be good at MAKING papas.

    Still, I wish my apartment wasn't leaky, drafty, and without internet.

    bitch and moan goes the little white girl.

    I've come to a conclusion... Life is difficult.

    I can't be what is desired of me, needed of me, or even the bare minimum. of me.

    And then I want to be in multiple places at a time.

    I have this ability to fast forward and know that I'll feel bad about something and yet I'll do it anyway.

    why?!




    Only stupid people don't learn from their mistakes.

    I was just talking about how I never update this thing...

    I'm still devoid of profound thoughts but for some reason I always feel like writing after we hang out.

    It was strange and yet very fitting all at the same time.

    Scent lingers and you know, after all this time, she's still the same.

    I can't actually believe tomorrow is happening.

    You're a couch.
