learning to stand.

so something outrageously random happened to me last night...

i was encountered with a blast from my past.

who would've thought that someone would walk right back into my life??? i guess i was more caught off guard.

i was walking around with mikey, who's a friend from school and we were talking about how our holidays went. when all of a sudden... BAM!!! i got tackled by a couple of dudes that i totally didn't recognize until one of them says "mahea you f.ckin snob!"

first of all i'm not a snob and secondly i was like holy snap! 

i wished so badly that i wasn't there at that given moment. some how i was praying that i wasn't gonna start ballin my eyes out because of this jerk. he's my first ex-fiances brother (jon), and yes my ex-fiance was with him (zach).

well as much as i prayed it made no difference with the fact that i was still standing there looking like a complete idiot. obviously mike had no clue who they were so i had to do this whole introduction when instead i just wanted to bolt and run to the car and drive away.

but instead somehow we ended up grabbing something to eat and we were just talking about the times we spent together...

i must say that last night went much better than i imagined.

on the flight back to california.

so i'm back in cali... i really missed this place.

actually i got home on the fourth. i'm thankful that my dad had the chance to get a layover at LAX so i could say that final goodbye to him before he goes back to iraq.
i am so proud of my brothers and my dad for staying in the military and not quitting or showing disloyalty to our president. they have proven to me that it's very much possible to fight for something that you believe in without getting emotionally distraught. those guys have shown me how life should be lived. every monday through friday they go to work and have to do mentally and physically draining routines that they could've stopped doing when instead they decided to re-up.
all my brothers and including my dad have their private pilots license and have their architect degree from USC. so i have alot to live up to since i am the youngest and because i'm the only girl i have to prove to them that i'm just as good if not better. i'm striving to do my best here at USC and yet at the same time i don't want to graduate from here. UNLV or even UND would be great for me... i guess i just gotta stick it out here at USC until i can find a way to break it to them that this isn't the place for me.

looks like just another semester here at USC...
GO TROJANS!!!
