I am a preschool teacher.
I'm so excited. This is what I was doing all the paper work and doctors visits for, but it wasn't really official until today. I will be starting in July.
I can't believe that I actually got a job as a preschool teacher at the age of 18. How often does that happen? Not very.
Besides that awesome bit of news.... Yeah. I'm boring. I went on an adventure day with my best friend Kevin. It was a lot of fun. We went into Sunol. And as much as I hate hiking we did a bit, then visited Little Yosemite. I have the worst bug bites though. Remember, bug spray next time. Then I made the awesome choice to fall asleep laying on the grass the next day. I have this ability to forget that I am very allergic to grass. To the point that if I lay on it long enough I actually get cuts and lots of itchy red lines. Falling asleep in the grass is a good way to do that. So basically my legs itch like no other at the moment.
My summer is turning out amazing. And even though I'm going to be working for a lot of it from now on, I'm really excited to see what happens. Plus I'll still have the nights and weekends :)
We'll I'm wiped out. So this is goodnight.
Random fact
I'm really stretching myself and trying to grow a little garden in my window. I am very good at killing plants, but so far I have kept an Orchid alive for like 2 weeks, and it's blooming! The rest were just planted tonight. :)

The day GiGi was born. Well not really...
But she did come into my life :)
Basically over the past few days something went through my guinea pigs... I started out Saturday with 5, I have one left as of yesterday (poor Bubbles) :( My room got too quite and I didn't want to get another guinea pig and have that one sick, so GiGi the rat was brought home tonight. Girls Group (get it, G.G? ha.) went out to get doughnuts and while sitting there someone said that we should go to the pet store, I had said that I wanted a rat before so we went to the pet store and got a rat. Spur of the moment. But GiGi is adorable :)
Other then that, I haven't been up to much. I had to run around to a lot of doctors and places today and I have some more places to go and call and such tomorrow. Yes there is a point to all of this running around. And it will make it's way onto the blog some enough, but not tonight :)
look at that, a cliff hanger. :D
Well I am wiped out from the last few days. It's been busy, beach trip, today, Monday I did something... I think. Just a lot of running around. I have some more of that for the rest of the week planned out. YAY!
I'm tired. I'm going to bed. :)
Random Fact.
My first 3 guinea pig girls were named after the Powerpuff girls, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. One was thought to be named a boy and named Bruno. But then we found out he was really a she and it was changed to Betsy. I felt bad she wasn't part of the group

Rantings.
I don't like change.
I don't like people leaving.
I don't like people changing.
I don't like be lied to.
I don't like being used.
I don't like it when people won't grow up and just tell me something.
I hate it when I'm not worth the truth.
If you aren't happy with something, tell me. If things changed, tell me. Don't just not show up to something you said you would be at. Don't let me find out from other people what you were doing instead. Just tell me.
(Yes I realize this is passive aggressive, but I have been totally ignored otherwise. So I don't care.)
Okay, that being said. I am fine. I'm annoyed, but fine. :)
Lets see. Since I've last been on here not much has happened. But it is summer, so isn't that a good thing? I think so.
I went to college group for the first time. Because I can now! It was fun. I want to see what it's like when we get more into a study as well though.
Today I went to Great America with Brynna. I had fun, but now I'm really tired and I have about 5 new bruises. I only know where one came from. But all of them hurt.
Also something else very exciting happened today. But I'm not going to post it until some final details are worked out. So stay tuned ;)
Random fact
I am 99% sure I have Misophonia. Which is a hate of nosies. In my case food sounds. That is why I get annoyed and distracted when I am eating with other people, no matter how hard I try to control it.

And then it hit me.
I found this list today. (It's below) Don't even ask why I was looking up date ideas... I don't have a boyfriend. Nor am I going on a date soon. (Well that I know of :p)
But that isn't what I wanted to really talk about. I guess it really hit me that I have graduated, I've turned 18, I'm an adult moving on to the adult life. Last night we had a grad banquet at my church. First Matt (youth pastor) talked about me, then Mrs. Fisher (she's my mentor and I love her) then what really hit me was my mom got up and talked. She doesn't talk in groups and I really didn't think she would. She made me cry. And my dad spoke after her. And by then it was hitting me that I finished it. I really did it. I did the work and I graduated. Then today I sat and read my book of notes from my grad party. That made me cry again. It's kind of overwhelming to have all this actual happen. A year and a half ago I was ready to drop out of school and just find a job. But I didn't. I did it. I didn't cry last week at the first ceremony. I didn't cry Saturday. Just Sunday and today. Oh boy. I never thought this day would come. Now I'm not sure how I feel about it being here. It's a relief and scary at the same time. But I know I'll make it.
1. Pretend you’ve never met, then loudly try out lame pickup lines in a swanky bar. Act like they worked.
2. Go on a walking journey and every fifteen feet draw a chalk arrow in the direction you’re going. At the end of the trip, leave a big pile of chalk.
3. Create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen.
4. Go for a drive. You can only make right-hand turns. When you finally get stuck, turn around and then you can only make left-hand turns. Repeat until you find something interesting. Take pictures along the way!
5. Build forts out of furniture and blankets, and wage war with paper airplanes.
6. Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books.
7. Write a piece of fiction together. Outside at a cafe. Ask strangers when you get stuck.
8. Try and visit as many people as you can in one night, and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.
9. Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!
10. Hide and seek in the park.
11. Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things.
12. Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to. With fake names.
13. Go for a drive with the passenger blindfolded, choosing directions at random. See where you end up.
14. Dress up as pirates, commandeer shopping carts, and have a war upon the high seas.. er, parking lot.
15. Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence.
16. Rent a movie you’ve never seen before. Set on mute and improvise dialogue.
17. Dress up as pirates and go parrot shopping at local pet stores.
18. Go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when you show up, and stay there for a weekend.
19. Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras.
20. In the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.
21. Dress up as superheros and stop at least one petty crime ie. jaywalking, littering….
22. Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jack.
23. With camera and pair of boots, make photolog of a day in the life of the invisible man.
24. Walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn.
25. Go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for you.
I think having fun is the most important part of any relationship.

I haven't owned a bike since I was 12. I'm trying to decide if I want to get one now.

For the 2nd time. I did it
Well guys, it's official. I am a no longer a high school student. I'm a college student now, and an adult. Yikes. I sure don't feel old enough to be this old. I remember being in like 3rd grade thinking about how cool the older kids in high school were. I don't feel cool. But hey, maybe in the eyes of a 3rd grader I am (that's an accomplishment!) Well I am wiped out. Thank you to everyone who made today awesome. I loved it. But now I am tired. And I have to be at church in the morning. Yay.
Goodnight people
Pictures are up on facebook :)
Random fact
I have two diplomas.

Take me back.
I'm loving Kate Nash right now. I have for awhile but I seem to be in a mood for the last few days that just begs for her voice (that ended up sounding somewhat creepy)Anyway, tomorrow I have my graduation rehearsal. And then I graduate on Saturday. And this time, it's it. I'm done. No longer a high school senior. I'm pretty excited, but kind of weirded out at the same time. This was something I looked forward to for so long, imagining the day I graduated. It was something for the big kids, I never thought I'd be that old. And now I want to go back to the 5 year old girl that thought high schoolers were so cool and only had to worry about if I could find the matching skirt for my dolls shirt. As much fun as it is to think about going away to school the actual process is stressful and overwhelming at times. But I know I'll make it, I mean how many other people have done it? Even with as difficult as it is to work with Ohlone sometimes. (UGH.) I'm sure that at some point I will get there... right?
I think what I'm most excited about is joining college groups this summer. I'm wanting that deeper connection and group for God. I don't like getting the watered down stuff all the time. I want the hard, jarring, painful, sweet, deep and beautiful truth. I want Malibu again. But I don't want to have to travel into another country to find it. I want to find that here. I want to find my place in God. I want to find my spot where I hear Him. Like my little log on the outside of the island. I want that again. (Yes I realize this probably doesn't make any sense to you unless you have been reading my blog from the start. You might want to back track to review) I want to see God waving hi to me from a leaf. I want to jump into the ocean carefree and be truly, fully and completely happy. That is what I want. I want people who aren't scared to speak the truth to me. The friend who listens to my heart and then sits and prays before he talks me through my hurts. I want the leader who doesn't judge my story. And I want the girl who can relate to me in every way and neither one of us is scared to open up and talk about our hurt and pain. That's what I want. I want the friends who see one look on my face and hug me. I want Teri to lead my in a 10 minute Bible study that changes my thinking and life forever. I want to sit with Bob and listen to him talk about meeting world leaders and bringing them into his home. I want Brandon Heath to grab me by the hand again and the drive (boat?) me across the ocean, just because he wanted to surprise us. I want Bob's sons to take us back across the ocean and then do laps around the camp games to make us laugh just because they can. I want to serve with those girls again, and guess campers orders or even remember names just to see a smile. I want to talk to that kid who tells me Glee songs are annoying, or see the light in the young mans eyes who helped me carry soda across camp as he told me how much fun he was having.
I just want to feel that community again.
I want it so bad...
Random fact
I hate moths. And there is one in my bathroom.

Because the girl that you thought you knew. She's so gone.
Well it's that time again. Time to blog.My head is somewhat of a mess right now. And it has been for awhile I guess. I feel like my heart and my head don't always line up. And I often don't know which one is right.
I find it odd that right now I'm the girl that's looking at going thousands of miles away to school in a year. I never thought I would even go to college. For awhile I didn't even think I would graduate high school. I think it was because I was never going to be that girl that I decided I would. I don't understand myself sometimes, you tell me I can't do something and guess what? I'll do it. That doesn't always work out the best for me, but sometimes it really does. My life is nothing like I thought it would be if you had asked me a year ago where I would be today. Nothing. And it's hard for me to totally change my dreams and focus in life, but I'm excited to do it. I'm excited to see where God takes me. And I'm finally learning that saying no to God, just doesn't work all that often...

I started reading James tonight. James 1 to be exact.
I really am looking for that moment again, the big "ah ha!". I want to find it this summer.
But right now my thoughts are with this. Prayer.
Sometimes I feel like Christians throw the word around to often.
"I have a test tomorrow, pray for me!"
"I'm really tired, pray for me!"
"I have a long drive this weekend, pray for me!"
Not that I have ANYTHING against the power of prayer. I truly believe in prayer, but I also believe in living your life and responsibility for your actions. Hey, you didn't study for that test. You didn't go to bed until 3 am. Yes I believe in prayer as a lifestyle, but don't you have to actually try? It's like that joke were a homeless man prays every morning that he wins the lottery, and after months he is mad at God for never helping him, when God yells down "would you just buy a ticket?! Then we can talk!" Sure God helps you through prayer, but you have to meet Him halfway (or at least somewhere along the way). That's what I think. Feel free to debate me on that one.
Random fact
I always over think everything. It's my worst habit that I'm trying to break.
