so i got another call from the character department at disneyland and i got approved to be an entertainment host, too. sweeeet haha. i hope i dont kill myself this summer... but i KNOW it's gonna be a BLAST. i talked to the characters department and they said that i would train characters first and then a month later get trained for host since they dont want to overwhlem me with too much information since i still have block party to do. and thennn once i get trained in everything then i'll alternate between characters and host before doing block party 5 days a week. sweeeeeeeeetnesssss.
so i'm pretty sure that i'm like on my man period or something because i've been really moody lately, haha. like im either a real bitch or i'm the nicest guy in the world (depending on who you are) like for instance there at people at work who i LOVE to DEATH but then there are the people who i just can't stand. like even hearing them talk or walk down the locker aisles makes me want to slap a bitch. hahaha i love it. but still... work is grand and i wouldnt trade it in for the world. because really... my job still kicks your jobs ass. dont hate.
school is... school. this quarter went by really quick i have like 3 weeks left and then its finals week/summer!!! woohoooo kids! this was such a kickback quarter though since i took reaaaaly easy classes since i'm taking any core classes till next quarter. which reminds me that i still have to turn in my change of major papers. hmmmm...
i'm really hungry. i really want to eat right now but theres nothing to eat. granted i'm eating my ice cream but lets be honest... this ice cream is NOT that fly. on the real. i want some mothfuckin steak all up in my mothafuckin mouth. mmmm. oh sweet theres a bag of bbq lays on my desk! i just noticed that. *opens bag of chips* seriously though i need to stop eating like a damn heffer or imma rip a tard at work (that's LEOtard... without the leo.) haha i LOVE STICK IT!
okay im boring myself. peace out bitches.

so pretty much my life is going amazing right now.
school:
it's going pretty well actually! my ige class is really innnnteresting and i'm getting used to working hard again, haha. last quarter really burned me out, and this quarter is like a recuperation phase, haha. however, the dance classes are a challenge. but a welcome challenge because i'm learning so much. modern is actually really helpful with my movement... and apparently i'm kind of good at it, so that's a plus, haha. jazz class is a killer but i love it. it's helping with technique sooo much. hip hop is just straight out FUN. the end, haha.
work:
i freaking LOVE work. i still can't believe i get paid to dance... its like.. amazing. and the people there.. ohhh the PEOPLE. ::SNAP:: diego knows what i'm talking about. lets just say that i'll be *hopefully* busy... hahaha. block party bash is seriously amazing and so much fun. yeah it's tiring and i sweat like a mother, but the looks on kids faces and on the parents faces is priceless. not to mention the fact that i've been in like a hundred pictures in the past week, haha. its kind of weird thinking that i'm on peoples' home videos and their cameras... like... when i'm dancing people are recording me... and they'll go home and then watch it... and then show other people. thats kind of weird, right?! haha. i dunno... its' cool though!
friends/family:
my friends are freaking amazing. i love them all. old and new! i couldn't have asked God for a better set of friends and a more loving family. they're really been the reason for me being so happy these past few days. from going out to dinner after doing a parade to watching friends make world debuts in FANTASMIC/ELECTRICAL PARADE to lunch outings on "no school fridays" to talking online till like 3 in the morning when there's school the next day (and being called a whore countless times) i love them all. and my sister is AMAZING... but im sure you all already knew that
so all in all... life is good. :)

as i'm typing this im sitting in the library at my school and i'm quasi-bored and quasi-hungry. it's like 11:00 and my next class doesnt start until 1!!! grrr. my class got out early and i have nothing to do, so i've decided to go on livejournal and update this bad boy!!!
so uhhh... life after architecture. FABULOUS haha. not even kidding. i technically haven't changed my major YET because it takes a quarter for the paperwork to go through, but lordy lordy... this is nice. since i'm not going to be a graphic design major until fall of 2006 (after this summer) i'm stuck with a quarter being lost. but alas... i am lost no more. i'm just taking some GE's to finish up (since there arent that many more for me to take) and i'm taking FUN classes!!! seriously... i love them. i love school now, haha. what kind of classes am i taking you ask?...
DANCE CLASSES. yeah.. that's right, don't hate. haha out 6 of my 16 units this quarter are dance classes and i couldn't be any happier right now. i'm taking a hip-hop class, a jazz class, and a modern dance class. not too sure about the modern dance class, haha but we'll see how it goes. it'll be good for me to experience different types of dance, ya know?? so that way at future auditions i wont SUCK so much haha (electrical parade... triple pirouette... *shudder*... i still have nightmares about it, haha) SO YEAH. that one was a bit of a quickie, no??
so all in all... life is grand FO SHO. i start block party in like one and a half weeks!!! APRIL 8th, save the date kids! only downside is the late rehearsals that are coming up. like tomorrow i have BPB practice from 9pm-3am... and i have to get up the day after at 6am, haha. IM PRETTY MUCH GONNA DIE but it's okay. and then monday and tuesday of next week it's the same thing... grr. but what's funny is i complain about these hours now, but i used to get out at like 4 in the E-M-P... i guess its just the idea of having to dance full out at 2:30 in the morning that's getting to me. okay... well i do believe that is all for now. i'm gonna go to panda express and order me some chinese food because eating bestfriend's/bestfriend's bf's food last night whet my appetite for asian food.
PS i loved "slurpee" night last night, guys! even though i didnt have a "slurpee"!!! :) because pretty much after going the past 2 weekends partying and drinking, i'd rather NOT turn into an alcoholic bitch. haha. peace out, kids!

| BLOCK PARTY PARTY!!!! |
[25 Mar 2006|07:54pm] |

so after much anticipation and planning (mostly on bridget and brian's part) we finally had our block party bash oldie/newbie mixer SHINDIG at brian's apartment. can i just say that i love these people?! haha they are so awesome i love each and every one of them... no lie!!!!
we started off the evening by seeing BRIAN (salami) and everyone else in block party bash. you guyssss.... i'm so excited! seeing everyone do the parade has seriously given me a second wave of inspiration to do an awesome job each and every parade. BPB kids who do that parade now, i know you've BEEN doing it for a while but i just want to re-iterate that i am SOOO proud of all of you and i'm so greatful to be part of such a talented, and not to mention HOTT, cast!!! after that we went to eat at NAPLES in downtown disney where the food was bomb as usual, haha. and then we went back into DCA to ride tower of terror where wo took what has to be the cutest picture everrr. and then we headed over to brian (BLUE'S) apartment where this shindig began :)
love themmmm!
HAHA this is our ridiculously awesome picture... not gonna lie... it's pretty awesome. its our pose for the choreography in the parade where all the pixar pals go, "THE INCREDIBLES!" yeahhh you should be jealous.
hilary, alyssa, aisha, and bridget looking gorgerous as usual pshhh.
so pretty much alyssa and i wanted to join in on the awesome hat festiviites.
yeah... dennis wanted to join in, too haha.
THUS BEGINS THE PARTY!!! :)
okay so here's the deal... as we're all busting out the goodies from plastic bags, bridget takes out her MAKEUP BAG and says "you guys, i'm prepared too" and homegirl pulls out a martini shaker and shot glasses... OUT OF HER MAKEUP BAG hahaha.
aisha's gangsta. WORD.
matt, aisha and brian were real tipsy real fast.
i love these kids.
DANCE PARTNER!!!!! this is melissa and she's my 5-day partner in block party bash. it was so cute because during the parade she WALKS UP to me, shakes my hand, and introduces herself, haha. i loooove her. she's freaking GORGEOUS, TOO!!!!
yeahhhh she's pretty hot, haha. i havent practiced with her yet though!!! she's been in rehearsals for FANTASMIC! (she's mulan you guys!!!!)

THESE GUYS ARE MY NEW FAVORITE!!!!! ask me the story, maybe i'll tell you, haha. they're so cute together... bitches, haha.
BLUEEEE!!!! ladies and gentlemen, this is our host, brian. yeahhh haha this picture is priceless.
me and the partner showin some love! :) i dont even remember taking this picture.
AISHA!!! i love this girl! at the end of every night we wonder what notes they're going to give US because the choreographers loooove pointing out every single thing we do wrong, haha. the WHOLE NIGHT homegirl was like IM A FUCKING BALLERINA, HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! haha. and then she showed us her center splits... and spilled her drink on the floor.
alyssa, paul, bridget, and i raided the kitchen whilst drunk in search for food.
brian, me&matt :) first thing that matt said when he walked through the door was "i have the same shorts as you do!" and my response was "i know, right?! i look so good in them" hahaha.
me and B-DAZZLE aka salami aka brian
hilary and clayton looking gorgeous as ususal
matt and i. OH to finish off the story about the shorts, later that night i told him i wanted his pants... NOW! yeah... haha WOW.
drinky drinky. he was drinking cranberry juice and vodka and i told him that was good because cranberry juice keeps you pretty regular, haha. and i was drinking pineapple-mango OJ with rum and he told me the OJ was good because the vitamin C. so really... we were being healthy haha.
freaking cheerleaders, haha. they wanted to life me in a cradle for some reason?? dont ask, haha.
this is lexi and she is soooo awesome. she was such an accomodating hostess :)
i'm getting kind of tired writing captions for every picture so i'm just going to selectively caption photos worth captioning. haha
oh just in case you didnt get it, clayton and matt are twins... well there's a 3rd one (they're triplets) but kyle couldnt come. clayton is in the green shirt (in the photo above this one) and MATT is in the orange shirt (above)

so i'm making a resolve here and now to update this thing more regularly, haha. even though no one reads this really, it's cool to be able to have a little piece of the internet to collect my thoughts and be able to look back at my life.
so overall, life has been wonderful.
finals were last week and i'm so glad this quarter is over. it was seriously depressing me, haha. okay... enough said about that subject. SPRING BREAK! WOOHOOOOO!
<B>WORK</B> is seriously amazing. while i do miss all the wonderful people in the emporium, i love being a part of entertainment and parades, its ridiculous how much im in love with it. block party bash rehearsals are amazing. there's so much to learn and so little time to learn it in, but the fast pace of it all is such an adrenaline rush. so i finally know the entire parade from start to finish (we had 3 days to learn it) it's just a matter of finishing up all the blocking for parading/show stops. it's CRAZY how all over the place i am during the show stops. OH and i get to ride a scooter during the finale of the show stops, haha. freeeeekin awesome! i just hope i dont kill anyone or run over kids, haha.
the people in block party...ohhh the people are amazing. honestly... coming from stores and going into entertainment was a gigantic leap in terms of a change in atmosphere. its a lot more laid back and people arent as up tight. in all honest, going into this department i had so many prejudgements on the people that were in it. from personal experience, i came to the conclusion that "those parades people" were all just stuck up snobs who didnt talk to anyone else. but after actually being a part of the department and getting to know all these amazing people i know that's not true at all. everyone is so welcoming with humungous personalities and even more gigantic talent they never cease to amaze me. in this short time i have learned so much in terms of dance technique. i'm learning so much about everything and i dont want it to ever stop!!!! seriously though... i love these people.
<U>electrical parade auditions:</U> yeaaaahhh... i didnt get cast, haha. whatev im still in a parade, the most AMAZING PARADE EVERRRR! haha. but yeah the audition was pretty long and rather ridiculous. the combination was super easy, but my pirouettes were sloppy :/ i was so tired! haha. and it didnt help that everyone else in my room was doing a triple when i was only doing a double... BOOO WHORES! but its okay... a lot of people who i was SURE would make it didnt get cast.. hmmm i wonder what they were looking for. but congrats to DENNIS and BRIAN & the other BRIAN and MATT / CLAYTON / KYLE who were all cast!!!! freaking amazing, kids.
in other newsssss... I MISS FLASHBACK! i miss all the rehearsals, lost bar thursdays, going to denny's after and dancing in the parking lot, showing up to rehearsals with my favorite person/best friend and looking SOOOOO HOTT, and just everything about it! serisouly we need a reunion sooon! and i want to see the freaking video still! haha. dammit cast tv!
so yeah.. LIFE... is great. i'm honestly really scared and pretty much PETRIFIED about the whole school situation (changing my major from architecture to graphic design) but for now i'll just take things one day at a time and keep my faith that God will guide me through this. ahhhhh... hmmm.... so much going on but so much to love about it. i'll make sure to keep everyone updated :)
peace out, kids!!!!

so my life has changed soooo much in this past month it's not even funny. okay, well it actually kind of is... let's break it down:
school:
school had been... a complete bitch. this past week i thought i was going to die. for my architectural history class we had a massive group project due where we had to re-create the facade of a 16th cetury classic building by andrea palladio. &i had to do ALL the flipping drawings (elevation, sectional, floorplan, etc.) in 3 days BY HAND. yeah... BITCH. then for my IGE class i had to do like 6 papers since i never did them earlier in the quarter. my design studio class sucks major balls right now because i'm so behind in my design it's ridiculous. not to mention the fact that i havent showing up for my design crits by my professor. whatev... he can suck it. i really want to change my major. i dont even give a beep anymore... i already KNOW that even with a degree in architecture i'd never become an architect. its nothing like i envisioned it to be, and i want out... seriously. i found that i'm way more interested in the presentation/graphic side of design so i want to major in graphic design now!!! and then maybe minor in techincal theater (stage/lighting design) because i always loved that, too... i dont know. everythings too messed up and i just want SUMMER here. :(
work:
work is the only thing that keeps me sane. my last day in the emporium was on saturday (march 4th) and can i just say that i LOVE my disney friends?! when i showed up to work there was this gigantic ALADDIN poster that everone wrote messages on and signed!!! NOT TO MENTION that my favorite person aka d-mix got me this fantastic book that's FILLED with messages from everyone on main street wishing me good luck in entertainment. awwww... seriously made my week!! PLUS my managers threw a party for me upstairs in the managers office and we had pizza & cake & beef jerky & buffalo wings & cactus cooler (it's my favorite drink, haha) I LOVE THEM!!!!!!
i'm seriously going to miss these people. i never really thought about how i made a difference in the emporium, but after reading all the messages in the book/poster i started to think about it and i guess that i really had a place there. i always thought that i was just another face among the lead staff who didnt really have that much of an influence on how the place was. i guess i mattered? haha... aww i love the E-M-P. it's my OG HOME fo sho. but i can honestly say that i believe i made the right decision in transfering to parades/entertainment at disney. i can already tell work is going to be a BLAST.
yesterday i had my entertainment department orientation... OMG SO MUCH FUN!!!! we started out by taking a tour of the facilities. where the BLOCK PARTY message board was and what to look out for. we went around the locker rooms/athletic trainer room/costuming place/everything else! it's so strange. OH and we went into the makeup/wig room. i've never seen so many wigs in my life. after that we did a tour of the parades part of the building where all the BPB/EP/POD costumes are. thennnn we went upstairs and they showed us all this administration stuff. thennn we had a rather lengthy classroom style instruction of parades & show supprt policies. ummm OH & they showed me the character distress signal!!! then they showed us a picture of cinderella doing it, haha she looked gangstaaa. we played a game called "IT COST HOW MUCH?!" holy poop parades costumes are freaking expensive!!! a royal court dancer in cinderella's ball cost 15,000 to make start to finish. holy pooop. they told us that block party costumes range from 2,000-3,000 for the whole set. .... whhhyyyy? haha.
after that we went to DCA and walked the backstage area/parade route. it's a lot to remember where everthing but i'll get it, haha. it was strange having them tell us all this stuff we have to remember on route. i always thought the people in the parade just walked down their route, did their show stop, and then did it again but theres more to it. they were telling us where "parade 1" (manager i guess) is and where manager's are stationed. we were showed where there were inclines/decline on route and where out floats hae to speed up/slow down. they showed us the visual clues about where everything should be by a certain time in the music for the rest of the parade to synchronize with the parading/dancing. there are certain places where you prep for choreography, then start choreography, then do end-gate choreography, then you can do character stuff, then finally stop choreography. it's A LOT to remember but i'm super freaking excited to start!! we have our first rehearsals today and i can't WAIT!!! we learn the whole parade in 3 days then we have a month to clean then i open!!! ahhhhh :)
friends:
i can honestly say that i have the best friends anyone can ask for. i have a fav person who's always got my back and is GOOD FOR ME!!!! ive got my mexicans who i can't live without (diego&drigo). i've got the awesome lyn-hizzle to share my disney joy with haha. and lets not forget the TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! &all the other wonderful people that make life worthwhile.seriously thank you to everyone for being in my life. i'm truly thankful for everyone, i can't say it enough.
en general:
while my life has some of it's bumps i seriously love the life that i'm living. i've got the best dream job in the UNIVERSE, my friends are soooo better than anyone elses, my family rocks, and i'm finally ready to take control of my education and do what I want to do with my future life.
thank you God.

WOW it's been a while since i've updated this thing. more than a month now. hmmm. well life has been... interesting to say the least. haha. january pretty much FLEW by and its already freaking february. WTF?! so whats been going on with mi vida?
DISNEY'S FLASHBACK 2006:
so i'm doing flashback which is seriously freaking AMAZING. it's basically this charity show that disney puts on every year where cast members from different departments come together and compete. we perform in the HYPERION theater in DCA (Yes, kids... the same theater the "aladdin: a musical spectacular" is performed in. my freaking DREAM to perform on that stage, haha.) and there are 2 shows. march 6 and march 7. call my cellie if you want to come see me!!! i'm one of the core dancers for the show along with my favorite person big bertha (aka tay tay to diego). but seriously i have met some freaking AMAZING people doing this show that i'm so thankful for. Lord knows that i would have NEVER met them if i didnt do flashback. (K-dizzle from guest relations, bobbika from fantasyland attraction, now character hostess!!!! all the crazy kids from DCA stores!!! esp our adopted child heidi haha. julie and christina the 2 best freaking choreographers ever!!! [congrats to the 2 of them for getting cast in fantasmic!!! christina is a monkey and julie is freaking SNOW WHITE!] and so many other people that makes coming to flashback so much fun.) i havent done a show in a while and i forgot how much i love it. i mean YEAH the rehearsal times are intruding (monday thru thursday, 8:30-11:30) and it doesnt help that i'm always going to denny's afterwords, haha. but i love every moment of it.
My Life:
i'm so glad that i have people in my life that are there to support me in everything i do/dont do. and the ones who remind me to STAY AWAY FROM TAP WATER because it's bad for me, haha. i love you guys (you know who you are) after much deliberation i decided to audition for fantasmic! yeahhh i didnt get it, haha. it's okay though because the audition was cool. aside from the part where i sat around for 3 hours doing NOTHING. so here's what happened. the audition started at 9:30 so i showed up at 9:15 thinking that i should get there early. ummm TOO BAD by the time i got to the check in desk, i was auditioner # 109. WTF?! haha. crazy. and it sucked that everyone and their mom at the audition was already in entertainment. whores. so we went in, learned a quick set of 4 counts of 8, went into another room, waited, and then got called in 5 at a time to perform for the judges. then we waited some more until EVERYONE was done then we were told we'd get a call sometime next week. but HERE'S the kicker... some person from entertainment saw me sitting on the floor hitting my fone against the wall (because it vibrate was't vibrating and i was trying to fix it, haha) and he's like "HEY... what's your name?" and i'm like "uhh.. eugene." and hes like "Eugene, please tell me you're staying for the face character auditions." and im like.... "... okay... i guess." hahahhaha. WOW. so yeah i stayed for the face auditions (CREEPIEST THING OF MY LIFE, BTW.) they make you stand there while some chicks with clipboards stare you in the face and tell you to smile different ways. after the preliminary evaluations i got called in so they can take a 2 look at me and this time it was like a PANEL of people behind a table with my headshot talking to each other and nodding/shaking their heads. ohhhh yeah. not awkward at ALL for me. in the end i got cut for that, too. (BITCHES!!!) its okay, though. they're having parade of dreams/block party bash auditions next month and me and the cool kids are GOING!
School:
it's been a real drag. i find that i lack so much motivation now. i dont know if it's becasue i'm tired or because i dont care for architecture anymore. i'm so tired of all the crap i have to put up with in design class. its so retarded i just want to sock the professors in the face, haha. i dont know... we'll see what happens with that. i just need to get through to summer so i can have time to think again. and rest. and get a freaking BREAK.
ETC:
i leave you all with wonderful pictures of my life this past month. :)
( life is wonderful )

i'm pretty sad because last night my computer crashed as in like i couldnt even turn it on :( like... it wouldnt load windows properly because i would just see my wallpaper but NOTHING else. so i had to do a system recovery this morning and now my laptop is like it was when i first bought it with NOTHING on it. so i lost everything i had on my computer. im mostly sad about the music/pictures that i lost :( booooooooo.
whore.
in other news, life is peachy keen. diego's party was the bomb dot com. mostly because i modeled a thong. EWW I WASNT NAKED. i was wearing a scarf :) and i think my socks too, haha. christmas was christmas. even though i had work, seeing people i loved made it all worthwhile. favorite person got me a sweater and a scarf from urban outfitters. managers got me starbuck's gift cards and embroidered blankets. everone else gave me candy and food (ohhh they know me too well!)
today i didnt have work so it was BROTHER&SISTER day! pretty much it was my sister and i all day just chillaxing and shopping. ummm so i bought my sister these jeans at planet funk and they make her look really good, haha. just had to throw that in. theyre frankie b. jeans and apparently they're quite popular among the young fashionistas?? i dunno... desirae's heard of them and thats enough for me to know they're good. THEY BETTER BE! they were 200 wonderful dollars. its okay... i love her. ANNND she's buying my contacts so its pretty much an even trade!!! plusssss my sister pretty much starts her CAREER next week at college hospital in cerritos. yeahhhhh she's making the big bucks now!

okay so my FINAL review for architecture is now OVER!!!! you guysss.... i can finally rest!!! although its only for like a month, its a month well deserved. too bad i didnt really like my library design in the end, and it totally showed in my presentation/drawings/model. My teacher could sense it, too :( during my review, he told me something that really got to me and it got me thinking. He told me, "eugene, you're so smart, so intelligent, and so talented. the only thing that disappoints me with you is that i dont see the passion inside of you. i dont see the motivation or drive that you'll need to be a good architect. it might be inside you, but you have to let it out for everyone to see. architects are artists, and the best artists are the ones that everyone knows loves art. you have to LOVE architecture. there are so many people here with half the talent and half the intelligence that you have, but they have twice the motivaiton and three times the passion... that makes them more successful than you."
honestly... that hurt, but its true. i could do so many things if i just fucking applied myself and let my passion for architectre to shine through. i know that it's there... i know that i love architecture, i just have to let my designer instincts free and let it flow!!! aghhhh.... okay so NEXT quarter that is my mission... to let other people know who i am as a designer.
in other news, i've been helping out a 2nd year graduate student with one of his master's degree projects. HOLY CRAP that shit is crazy. he's in the same design studio as the current 3rd year architecture students, so all the stuff that he's doing i'll have to do next year.... FUCK
( i'm crazy for taking this on )

. architecture is frustrating as fuck. but when you get it right it feels so good.
. my teacher finally likes my library design
. work is awesome. CONGRATS TO ALL THE NEW LEADS!!!!!
. chicken little was funtabulous.
. JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR was fucking amazing. i wish i could go back in time and do that show. like... seriously... the cast sounded amazing and their harmonies were crazy. i sat in the front row and nikki gave me a lap dance during one of the songs, haha. LOVED IT.
. i cant wait for winter break.
. i spend money too much.
. drama-rama at work is so stupid. dumb ass kids need to grow up.
. my sister, father and mother leave for the mother-land tomorrow :(
. ummm... i dont know what else is new, haha.
last night was natalie's shindig thing for her 20th birthday. it was fun because we ate at rocky cola in uptown whittier & steak was only 10 dollaz.

so my "history of art & architecture" midterm is over and done with. Same with my wonderful architecture studio midterm review.
can i just say that i feel like this HUGE weight has been lifted off of my soldiers. and now life is a little more wonderful :)
last night i went ice skating with wonderful people to celebrate sergio's birthday. DMix, jennaM, alexis, shayla, patty, dorian, mike, jonathan and of course sergio were there. it was good motherfreaking times. &&&it got better because when we all went to denny's after i ordered a steak and shrimp :)
today was chill for me becuase i didnt really stress about anything and that's always wonderful. ummm i dont know if we have anything due for design studio tomorrow... if we dont then that's weird.... because im used to doing so much crap for that class.
my review went okay. it was a "half & half" review. my proposal for a library design was half accepted and half rejected which was a total bitch! but i guess it's better than having it be totally rejected (which i do believe happened to some people.) my teacher said that i showed good progress and that i'm getting there but i'm not there yet. which i totally agree with because my design philosphy as an architect still isnt very well developed. OHHHH well. i'm really hungry. i think im going to buy sushi.
so here i leave you with some pictures of what's been occupying my time since the beginning of this quarter. you know you want to see :)
( school's a bitch & i hate it )

it is now 7:20 and i've been working on this stupid paper for what seems like the longest time now. i have a mid-term tomorrow for my "history of art and architecture" class, and i havent even STARTED making my presentation boards for my architecture studio review on wednesday. so what am i doing right now?? i'm sitting at my desk with a bowl of chicken soup while updating my livejournal and watching Laguna Beach. (jason, you're a freaking idiot... LC has every right to be pissed at you, ass) i know, right? haha
i dont know what's been up with everything right now. it all seems so quasi-fucked. so much is happening (kind of) and no one seems to be of any help so i'll just keep to myself. or not. maybe talking it out, or in this case typing, would help some.
school: i dont even know whats up with school. half the time i'm in my design studio i have no idea what the fuck i'm doing. and when i AM doing something i dont even know why the fuck i'm doing it. im leaning closer and closer to filling out the paperwork to change my major. but there are some major dilemmas with doing so. if i DO change my major, that's a whole year of college wasted doing work for a degree that i'll never get. but then if i DONT change my major, i'll have to put up with loads and loads of bullshit for the rest of my college life, and end up unhappy with the path i've got myself stuck on. ahhhhh... quite a pickle i'm in. i dont even like to think about it. i'm just trying to go throught the motions of school for now in order to make it to winter break. then from there... i have no clue what i'm doing. whatever. i just want this all to be over.
work: work is..... work. we're hiring new leads in our location so in about a month there will be brand spankin' new leads for main street west! thats exciting because a lot of my friends are applying to become a lead. hopefully they get it because that would be sweeeeet. at times i really hate work. i hate working in a store. i hate dealing with complaints. i hate lazyass motherfucker cast members who don't do shit. i hate being a lead. i hate all the responsibility that comes with being in a management position. i hate all the shit i have to put up with. i hate some of the other leads but i like to fake it and pretend that i get along with them fabulously. i hate when people underestimate my capabilities simply due to the fact that i'm one of the youngest leads in the complex. i hate being in charge of so many fucking people. i hate dealing with city hall complaints. i hate the drama-rama that other cast members create just for shits and giggles. i hate having to re-do shit when cast members dont do their job correctly. i hate a lot of things about work. but i love so much of it at the same time. i love meeting new people. i love the environment. i love laughing with the cast members/leads/managers that i actually DO get along with. i love the cast members who do things withoug having to be asked. i love new trainees. haha... yeahhhhhhh :)
life: .... ummm i dont really have one right nowww. yeah thats all that you pretty much need to know.
okay well i think imma take a shower and think about my paper and ponder on the intricacies of like in general. peace out motherfuckers.

okay kids, here's a wonderful little story:
one day at cal poly pomona, a boy named eugene sat in his "ancient and medieval architecture" lecture. overwhelmed by sentiments of boredom, he did the natural thing and took out his ever handy black sketchbook. With a plethora on pens and inking tool, he commenced an artistic endeavor. By then end of class, he had filled his little black book with designs that were bursting with color and moods. on the way to his car, he started thinking about how much he missed doing art for himself. Along the drive home, he took a detour to a local art supply store. There, be bought canvases, paints, brushes, and stencils. When he got home, he immediately sat his things down, laid out his art supplies, and started painting.
this is the result of his efforts...
( i made art today :) )

so it's been like 2 days since school has started and i already have crap backed up that i have to do like NOW :(. my other classes are okay i guess. my communication class is quasi-retarded and im getting the feeling that i'm not gonna end up liking it. my architectural history class seems like the content is interesting, but the teacher is so BLAH. hopefully i dont fall asleep in that class :/ annnnnd of course architectural design studio... it seems cool thus far. my teacher (professor ortenberg) seems really helpful. more so that any other architecure teacher i've had thus far.
our first project is a design competition (yess.....) where groups of 5, 6 , or 7 have the challenge of re-designing the interior space of our design center (called the IDC). the winning group gets $300!!! hell freaking yeah! thats like... a couch for my group to put in the design studio for when we want to sleep. enough rambling... picture time!
( plug it in, plug it IN! )

its like 3:20 in the morning right now as i'm typing this and i have no desire whatsoever to go to sleep. its not like i was working late today or anything... i got out of work at 8:30!!! one of the rare days that i'm not a closing lead and i cant go to sleep before 3am. summer really screwed with my sleeping schedule :(
speaking of summer.... i have 2 days of it left and then its back to school. for some reason i'm a little excited about this year. i was talking to adrianna about it and its funny how this summer has revved up my motivation to perform better that i did last year in all my architecture studios. i wonder how long that motivation will last, haha. hopefully the entire year because i do NOT want to be that kid who barely gets through school. i'm taking 18 units this quarter :-/ thats sad. oh well... and i was laying out the classes that i'm taking for 2nd and 3rd quarter and it seems that 18 is the magical number this year. 18 units then 18 units again. oh well... i'm used to not sleeping and working non-stop.
work is... work. its getting a lot less stressful since summer season is technically over. regardless, we get these random bursts of people throughout our complex which makes it damn near impossible to navigate through the store. guests are generally nicer now since the crowds arent as huge as they were during the peak season. It feels a lot more calm in the Emporium these days. I'm starting to take Leadership Development classes with the Disney Company. they're pretty cool... and its something else to add to my resume!! haha. i'm getting scheduled for more and more which is awesome because i get PAID for stage management classes!
in other news... we're remodeling our house :) today they took out the carpet in the living room and the tile in the kitchen and they changed the flooring. our living room is now wood floor, and my parents bought new tile for the kitchen. they're also deciding to re-do their bathroom as well as mine and my sisters which is awesome! its kind of random though becuase out of nowhere my parents are like "we're remodeling the house, k? the people are coming next week." suuuuuree... its cool though.
its' thundering and raining really hard right now. the weather is odd and confusing right now. on my way to work today at 4, it was sunny and bright. on my way home i was running to the cast member shuttle in the rain. such a bitch! but on a brighter note, my car got a car wash!!
and SPEAKING of cars, my sister got a new car!!! my parents bought her a scion tC in flint mica. but they special ordered it so it has to be delivered from japan and that'll take a couple weeks.
i'm really hungry right now. i'm looking around the room and i'm spotting bags upon bags of not-very-healthy snack items: oreos, mint milanos, a box of cheez-its, lolipops and chocolate bars from disneyland, and more chips and cookies. i should eat healthier. BUT i ate a plum today! so that makes up for the garbage that i previously had consumed, right?... RIGHT?!
okay my eyes are starting to close now. i guess typing on livejournal is a potent sleep-inducing-action.
peace out, snickers :)
