Grad School Here I Come...

I got the phone call on Monday afternoon...I thought my counselor would of left me a message with the good news on my cell...but noooooo!...She just told me to call her back...When I got home approximately at 3:00 on April 26...I ate a sandwich took my sweet time and then called my counselor...

I dialed and then I waited for Cynthia to say what she always says...and I told, her "hey it's me"...
She was so happy to know it was me...I just stood in my room waiting for whatever she was going to tell me...I kinda thought she was going to tell me that I needed to fill out something else in my application or that I was missing something...and that's when she tells me..."Congratulations you've been accepted to USC's grad program!"...I couldn't believe it...I felt like throwing up and I wanted to cry but the tears of joy did not flow...I just told her that I needed to take a seat for a moment to kind of process what was going on...I'm not quite sure how to compare this feeling...I wonder if this is how people feel when they win the lotto...

Cynthia was so happy and then she told me that the people really liked my essays and everything I had to say...I'm just glad that they were willing to give me an opportunity to go to their institution...and I feel like I would be one more step closer in becoming a true published writer..after grad school is all done!

A Dream...

Two years ago I wrote a poem....Titled "We Are Going Dancing on Friday Night..." I've realized that it is more than a poem it is an actual song... I remember getting waaaaaay too excited when I finished it...but it went a little deeper, because I called one of my friends to sing it to her...She thought it was pretty good and another friend told me that it had a bit of a punk rock riddance al estilo CSS... I recorded my tune on a tape recorder...I even tried doing some echo effects in the bathroom...

I want to do something with my poem like write actual music for it...My dream is actually to perform it one night on my b-day...and then I could check it off as one more dream fulfilled...

Here goes the poem:

We are going dancing on Friday night,
I'll get dressed up,
Put on some make-up,
with fake eye-lashes,
and a pair of heels...

Pick Me Up,
Let's get lost,

Come on week,
pass by quick,

I want it to be Friday night,
so I could go dancing,

All I can think of is going to the club,
and the dj spinning,
those records with the cool,
beats...

That make my feet so happy,
and my heart so ready,
to burst out dancing...

We are going dancing on Friday night,
pick me up,
leave your boyfriend behind,

Let's get lost,
lost,
lost...

To the dj's beats,
beats,
beats...

Cause we're going dancing on Friday nighhhht...

Scribble Journal..

I started a scribble journal a couple of days ago...the idea came to me when I was doodling away in my Hello Kitty mini-notepad...I had a couple of markers and I just made some crazy lines...I just doodle away...No point of direction...you don't have to be an awesome drawer to doodle...I tried explaining to my friend what I was doing but she didn't get it...I decided to post one of my master piece of doodling...ha, ha...

El Dash...

It's been two months that I haven't had a car..I'm starting to miss driving..(Never been a fan of driving, ha, ha..but it's a necessity to get to places on time)...I've been considering in getting a bike...I think I could peddle fast...I rely on the transportation system called the "Dash.." I know it is sooooo LA...but for a quarter it gets me home...but fuckkkk it takes forever to show up if I miss it...I've been spending countless minutes standing on the bus stop watching speeding cars pass me by...couples in cars that look happy or appear that things are going fine, and the people who drive the SUV's (aka munster trucks)... they only look at me in a pathetic way...The kool chicas in the volkswagon jetta's that I wanna give two thumbs up to, because they got it going on...ha, ha
I've stood on that freakin bus stop on rainy days watching cars speed up in puddles...(fun times under the umbrella as the rain drops drip down.)
Walking home with my countless thoughts of how I can make a new poem...ignoring the sounds of whistles and passing cars.....only me and my thoughts hand in hand...

Applying To Grad School...

After 2 years of getting my Bachelor in the field of Communication...and applying for jobs and rewriting my resume in countless ways to fit job descriptions. I finally decided to apply to Grad School...

I can't believe I started the application process today. I had forgotten about deadlines, essays, and being a student. I had been nervous about applying, but today I just decided that I should go for it. If I don't attempt to do something than I would never know for certain if I can do it...

I'm going to begin writing my essays tomorrow, because my brother needed someone to watch "Up In The Air." (great film)...

I got distracted and lost focus in writing my essays...but for sureeeeeee tomorrow I'll start...ha, ha

Need A Little Heeeeeeeeelp!

I've been thinking all week on how to make a better service to my male characters in my novel...Especially in the issue of looooooooove...I know that women and men think about love differently...

For example: Women are always thinking if they will be able to find the so-cal true "one"...Especially if they are "single.".... I know it's not the number one priority, but it always lingers in back of our minds...even when we are successful career women...or just trying to find our path in life...

I wonder how men think about this issue of love...or at least how do they feel when they know that they are starting to have strong feelings for a woman?....

If any guy wants to reply to my question I would greatly appreciate the help...just because I truly want my two male characters to be mighty cool with their feelings about this issue...I want a bit of a true portrait of what a guy would feel and do for the lady he wants to be in love with...

Thanks for the help!

Dance, Dance...

I've been listening to this cool song from "We Are Scientists" it has a fun beat and you just want to be dancing all over the place... It's been a long time that a song has made me feel like this...I can't keep my feet still and it is the perfect song to start the week just right...While I was cooking dinner I was with my spoon jumping around and dancing in front of the stove...
This would be such a great tune to spontaneously dance with a boy...ha, ha

I have a good feeling about this week...I want to share this song with everyone the song is called, "After Hours"...it is in the soundtrack of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist...
