Tania's Journal

so i rediscovered livejournal after 2+ years. reading through my old entries/old entries of friends has made me really nostalgic and miss all of our good times together. i wish we had more time to recreate those memories. reading through my own old entries has also made me realize that i was often too lame/dramatic in the past. it's nice to at least leave that random drama behind for the most part ;-)

is anyone actually gonna read this anymore? highly doubt it, but it's really more just out of boredom...

my schedule is crazy lately. i need to cut back somehow!! working full time, school part time, wedding planning, etc. not a minute to breathe. hopefully things will be better in august if i can cut back, but still trying to figure out how exactly that will happen.

i can't believe i'm getting married in less than a month and a half. it will be weird that my home will no longer be mine anymore. even in college, i'd come back on weekends or home for breaks. but now i will truly have my own place. i'm also really excited though. it's kinda a mixture of excitement./anxiousness/nervousness.

anyone ever feel like they've gotten progressively dumber since the end of high school? i do.

haha this is funny. i could stand to grow a bit

where does time go? when was the last time i updated this? who the hell knows. i can't believe january is almost over. i was randomly thinking about things that happened last january and february and i can't believe that it's already been a year!!

michigan and pistons basketball are awesome. i am a happy girl.

work is tiring. i need another vacation soon.

i'm cold. it hasn't been that cold of a winter this year, but i just cannot wait till the warm spring days...spring is the coolest season ever.

i dont have anything else to write. sorry my LJ sucks. i may need to discontinue it soon unless my journal writers block goes away somehow.

oh hi.

i've kinda neglected my LJ lately eh? i go through these spurts normally...where i'll write in it a lot, and then kinda go through a drought. i'm going through a long drought right now. not that my journal was ever that great...but at least people could read funny/weird things that i wrote and make fun of me about them. sorry, my life is boring now. i'm boring now too. that's what happens when you graduate and get a full time job. welcome to the real world.

lalala, so i ruined my sleep cycle during break. not sure if i already mentioned this or not. but basically this week i woke up 6 hours earlier than i had gotten used to. and i coudlnt fally asleep at night either. then i stayed up late one of the nights watching the usc/texas game. therefore, i'm waaay tired now. i need to catch up on sleep this weekend. and also, this weekend, we need to hang out. and by we, i mean me and you, my faithful reader.

eid is this week. i'm working. it doesnt really seem like many people are taking the day off though, so oh well. shouldnt miss too much. my mom is going to las vegas that night for a conference. i think i'll probably go to the eid dinner in ann arbor in a couple of weeks. i miss aa. haven't been there in a while.

i feel fat this week. i thought i've been eating less, but apparently that is making me fatter, so maybe i should just go back to my normal eating habits. and i reeeaaaaallly need to start working out. that was my goal, which i was supposed to start 2 weeks ago. oh well, better late than never, eh?

i need some excitement!! we've run out of fun things to do in west bloomfield/famrington/novi. help!

okay, i'm boring myself now, so you're probably bored too. byeeeeee.

wow i have been really bad about updating lately. my busy schedule is basically over. and now it's break. but tha'ts almost over too. sooooo sad :-( i wish i could just be on vacation forever (and still get paid).

anyway, the last couple of weeks of work were actually great. random volunteering at the salvation army which was productive and fun. we had laser tagging (who knew laser tagging with people mostly in their 30s-50s could be so much fun?) and holiday lunches and holiday luncheons (different things) and all sorts of other food and fun. if i have to work, i at least wish work was like that all the time. too bad it's not.

anyway, during break i have completely ruined my sleep schedule. it's gonna suck monday night when i have to go back to sleeping at 11 and waking up at 6:30. i currently go to bed around 2 every night and wake up between 11-12. sigh, i miss these days. i love being a bum. i've been doing a loooot of shopping. i love it, but i feel guilty cuz i've spent a lot of money! oh well though. i should benefit from this work life in some way, eh? went to the pistons game on christmas which was tooons of fun. it was like a playoff game. watched the alamo bowl yesterday at neesh's and that totally sucked. seriously the worst officiating i've ever seen in my life. what a piece of crap game in general. tomorrow i'm going to chicago for the weekend for new years! yay, i'm excited about that...should be fun. back on sunday and then back to work on tuesday. so many things i want to do/people i want to hang out with which i have not gotten a chance to do yet. my time has just been flying. call me.

school
i've been missing school a lot lately. i know everyone who's in school right now is probably reading this and is like WHY?!?!? since you guys are all studying for finals right now and what not. and of course i dont miss finals....but basically everything else. maybe even some of the "togetherness" of studying for finals...that torturous couple of weeks everyone had to go through together. i like life at home. it's nice, it's comfortable, i'm adjusted. i know i have many good things to come and many good years ahead of me, but i know that a lot of the memories that i have from school...good times like some of those...will probably never be able to be recreated. am i ever gonna drive from take it or leave its at random hours and ride around in shopping carts again? am i ever gonna have the chance to be in walking distance from all of my friends again? are my peak hours of the day ever gonna be from 12-4 am again? probably not. waaah. i know i whined about this a lot at the end of last year, but then i kinda got used to the fact that i wasn't going back. now i'm starting to miss it again. sigh.

my journal officially sucks. i'll try and make it better after december 23....yipee

i know i haven't been very good about updating lately. i've been WAY busy and probably will continue to be (actually busier) for about the next month or so. basically until winter break. urrrrrr, soooo much going on. but anyway, excited for OSU this weekend. everyone take water bottles and drink all their water and fill the empty bottles with coins. if u havent gotten the email that's going around, that's the plan to make lots of nooooooise!!! i've tried some new restaurants lately which have been really good. i really liked mediterrano in ann arbor..it's by the mall. try it. i can't wait till thanksgiving break next week!! even though it probably isnt gonna be that much of a relief from my crazy month. but mmmm boy will it be good!!! dont worry azmat, i will probably have some updates to come on what i eat!

i dont think i've udated in a whiiiile. hmmm, what's been happening? well, there was eid...which didnt even feel like eid that much cuz i worked for half the day. we went to a couple people's houses so it was okay. other than that..same old work stuff. no work today cuz it was voting day, hahaha, yaaaay. we get next monday off too for veteran's day. gotta love these random federal holidays. today i went and got my haircut..then met lisa at panera for a few...went to the mall...went to the cider mill...saw weatherman...and went to bahama breeze (my first time, it was pretty good). busy day. i dont wannnna go to work tomorrow!

yay football again this weekend..there hasn't been a home game for a month, aaah...i'm going thru withdrawl.

anyway, that's about it. i'm tired.

woohoo! friday already. gotta love 2 day weeks.

yaaay, lalal. i'm in a good mood today. relaxed and rejuvenated from my 5 days of vacation. houston was grreat. nice and warm and beautiful. had a fun, relaxing time with my fam down there. came back monday night to the COLD, urgh. yesterday i saw a movie and then went to the U2 concert, which was AWESOME!! i had sooooo much fun. are seats weren't the best in the house, but they were decent, since the palace is good like that...where even if u're in the back, u dont necessarily have a bad view. U2 was great, and i loved every song they sang. i was only sad cuz there were a few i wanted them to sing that they didnt...but they have so many songs, i guess that was inevitable. i definitely want to go to their concert again, whenever they end up going on tour next. anyway, today is my last day of vacation :-( boo. it's okay though, because i'm still in a good mood...and in november, i have november 8, 14, and 2 days for thanksgiving off...sweet! that's my life for the moment. is is 6:37 yet?

sunday, blaaaaah.

this weekend...had my half day friday...came home and hung out with the family...my dad left for australia. then i went out to dinner with my mom and bro for thai food, yum yum. saturday, went to ann arbor for the football game which was AMAZING. one of my favorite games that i've ever been to. it was sooo crazy, and so awesome. the stadium was SOOOO loud, and at the end, when we won, everyone was acting like we'd just won the biggest game of all time. running down to the front where the football players were celebrating, chanting "it's great to be a michigan wolverine," and singing the victors...soooo much fun. we went to eat at charleys afterwards and anytime the highlights from the game on, the whole restaurant started cheering. it was so cool. anyway, today, after my tiring day yesterday, i just bummed around all day in my pjs. just waiting till i can eat...just a little longer. sigh, another week of work coming up, boo to sunday nights...but yay to the fact that i have vacation after this week!!! something to look forward to. oh yeah, i'm going to houston on friday till monday evening. just booked our tickets 2 days ago randomly...i'm excited about that. and the u2 concert that next week (the 25th). that's my life for now.

i know i haven't updated in a while...let's have a quick recap.

birthday dinner with fam/birthday party with friends = fun
losing my camera = boo
lots of other stuff = :-(
seeing my friends in ann arbor = fun
seeing michigan lose again = boo
earthquake = :-(
work = blah
vacation in 2 weeks = yay

that's my life at the moment.

95.5!
I was on the mojo in the morning show this morning....i'm a nerd cuz i was really excited that i got on!! they were talking about the msu/um game this weekend and they were saying how they think that the msu/um rivalry is bigger at um than um/osu....so i called in and told them that i just graduated and i definitely think the osu rivalry is a bigger one. it was pretty cool...they chatted with me for a couple mins about football and stuff. they all thought um would lose both games but i said i thought they'd win (although i'm not really sure in my head...couldn't display my insecurities on the radio....gotta show UM support).....but some person called in after me to disagree with me :-( they said they thought MSU was a way bigger rivalry, but i still think i'm right. anyway, it was a fun commute to work this morning.

i dont want to turn 22. it feels so old. i know that probably sounds dumb to some people...but like, now that i work, i feel like i officially have to become an adult...and now i'm turning 22....everything keeps leaning towards that fact. i'm really not ready to grow up. i like the fact that i'm allowed to be immature sometimes. when u get older and are in the "real world," it's no longer cute....it's just odd. sigh.

that's life for now.

Current Mood: old

autumn
it's starting to get chillier outside...and as much as i'm missing the warmth, i have to say that i loove fall!! spring is probably my favorite season, but fall is a close second. there's something about fall that gives me a nostalgic feeling, but it is a good, cozy nostalgia. i think it's thinking about the leaves changing colors, going to the cider mill, the good old days of halloween trick or treating (and still haunted houses), and being able to wear fun scarfs and warmn sweaters. i also love the first day that you can just smell a bit of chill in the air. aaah, so nice. too bad fall has to lead to cold, brutal michigan winters. which is why i'm gonna enjoy this short, lovely autumn while it lasts :-)

had a pretty good weekend. friday was grrreat...had a half day and then hung out with lulu and pox. we went to olgas for lunch followed by the franklin cider mill. mmmm, my first trip there this year, and boy do i love that place. nice warm donuts and fresh chilled cider. soooo good. i want to go back soon...who wants to go with me?? anyway...after the cider mill we went to somerset...that was fun too. then came home and went to a dinner party that i foudn out i was going to at the last minute.

saturday, had to get ready and do random errands and then went from 3:30pm-1:30 am to be a volunteer at the human development foundation dinner. that was pretty fun since a lot of people i knew were volunteers as well. tiring though. and they made a TON of money this year which was totally cool.

sunday, went to breakfast with my parents and then had to go to a graduation party. so another day of family parties....this weekend was full of them.

now back to work. traffic was NOT fun this morning. it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get to work.....i'm excited for next weekend though. although one part of the reason i was excited was cuz of the UM/MSU game and now i'm kinda sad cuz we lost this weekend, but ah well. i miss yoz...cant wait to go again today!

Current Music: brimful of asha

just another manic monday
sitting at my desk...nothing to do at the moment. tomorrow is community service in northville...yaya, 9-3 only. then maybe movie or something??

last weekend was nice....psa/football game. near perfect football weather, and perfect score :-) i was sick yesterday, boo...but luckily i feel better today.

no major plans for this week or weekend really (oh yeah, except hdfn and grad party this weekend). i'm a boring old lady now ;-) and i become even older in less than 2 weeks :-P

for randomness sake...what i've eaten so far today:
~peanut butter granola bar
~baked cheese balls
~baked doritos
~random bite of sesame sticks/rice crakers
~bag of mini merengues

gotta love my eating habits....

Current Mood: not busy

yay, i had a good weekend. now i'm kinda beat though. i saw the michigan football team lose for the first time in person :-( i was hoping the day would never come, but unfortunately it did. overall, the time was fun though. i definitely missed the game day atmosphere, and i'm still excited to be going to the games for the rest of the season. oh, but i didnt see nick lachey, boo. that was my mission ;-)

tomorrow, i have some leadership and effectiveness training...so i still have to go all day, but at least i get a day break from my desk. being in aa made me miss the experience of acting my age. i work with all older people and i feel like i have to act all proper and mature at work. not that that is always a bad thing, but i liked just being able to be in the carefree environment again.

about to go to a wedding reception in a bit. gotta get ready, bye

at this time last year i was moved into aa...about to start classes tomorrow.

as comfortable and adjusted as i am to my new lifestyle, i MISS college :-( i feel so left out of everything.
