“There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not, everything eventually ends. As much as I’ve looked forward to this day, I’ve always disliked endings. Last day of summer, the final chapter of a great book, parting ways with a close friend. But endings are inevitable. Leaves fall, you close the book. You say goodbye. Today is one of those days for us. Today we say goodbye to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable. We’re moving on. But just because we’re leaving, and that hurts, there’s some people who are so much a part of us, they’ll be with us no matter what. They are our solid ground. Our North Star. And the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us … always.” ~Alexis Castle

”Nothing goes as planned
Everything will break
People say goodbye
In their own special way
All that you rely on
And all that you could fake
Will leave you in the morning
Come find you in the day
…
Everything will change
Nothing stays the same
Nobody is perfect
Oh, but everyone is to blame
All that you rely on
And all that you can save
Will leave you in the morning
Will find you in the day
…
Everything is dark
It’s more than you could take
But you catch a glimpse of sunlight
Shining
Shining down on your face
Your face
On your face
…In My Veins by Andrew Belle

Castle Monday.
It was nice to see an episode reminiscent of Season 2. Loved it.
[insert lots of other thoughts about Caskett and notes that I don’t have time to type]
Okay, off to finish a Seminar paper and study for a politics quiz…

I watched Castle’s Season 3 Episode 22 “To Love and Die in LA” while doing homework and prepping for work tomorrow…this song is at the end of the episode and every time I hear it, it really just touches me. So, thought I’d share it. Here you go.

Packing. For the umpteenth time.
Other news.
-My mother drove me over an hour to hang out with my friends Bethany and Micah today. I love Bethany to pieces and lived with her this past summer (talk about best roommates ever, her and her sisters rock my socks). Anyway, went to Gilroy outlets with them and bought a cardigan, dress, and tank top from Forever 21 for like 12 whole dollars (buy one get one free for clearance items). And had a FABULOUS time with Bess. I hate that she lives in Pittsburgh, PA because I never get to see her! :( But yeah, great day! (plus I tested out my new 50mm lens and am in love).
-Went to Starbucks for my free coffee of the day (I bought the daily-coffee-free-for-January-mug back in December)…they only had Pike’s and decaf and I hate both so they made me an Americano with an extra shot :D
-Dorothyla visited before heading back to SMC!!!!
-I am now cleaning my room, packing, and watching Castle season 3!

SO annoyed.
Tried to make pizza for dinner and thought I was going to die from smoke inhalation.
Lesson learned?
Just because you can successfully cook and do laundry at college or in another country does not mean you can do so at home. Blame it on the appliances.
Also, someone needs to come and join in on this epic Castle marathon. All of my friends that want to live in LA and that’s just not cool. It’s just me and my fishy watching Castle, you know you want to join us!
In like my fourth (or fifth or whatever) random point, I need to do an ab workout. Like asap, last week I had such awesome abs, it’s a shame what a week of slacking will do. But no fear, I think I’m going to re-start 500 pushups and 500 squats in 5 days. It makes me feel accomplished.
Better go watch some more Castle and study up on this program I’m volunteering for. Phone interview/progress check-up thing in the morning…
Something that doesn’t annoy me? The flowers my mother bought me are blooming and are absolutely gorgeous, a touch of beauty! I’ll try to post a photo tomorrow…

La La Land - Day 3 & 4
This is the best LA trip I’ve ever had. Absolute best.
Yesterday (Monday) morning I got to take a trip back in time to first grade! Alright, not really…but I did get to take a trip to Munchkin’s elementary school! I had the awesome opportunity to watch/photograph the school’s Halloween parade, and then got to sit in her first grade classroom for a while, observing and chatting it up with the teachers. It was really nice to have the change to talk about teaching styles, benefits of certain classroom setups, teaching students in a bilingual setting, etc. Also, one of the teachers was a SMC alum and Gaels always the world!
Then, Cindy and I returned home and I got caught up on some homework and packed stuff so I could spend the night in Burbank with my friends Breezy and Ally. After a few random things around the house, we went back to pick up Munchkin & some friends, dropped them off, and come home.
Breezy met me at the house and from there we roadtripped it to the Disney lot to pick up Ally (from her first day at a super awesome job!) and then headed to their place to get ready for trick or treating (aka change into our awesome costumes), prep for the party (aka munch on snacks and talk Castle), and wait for a few people to arrive.
We headed out on what will definitely be one of my most memorable trick-or-treating excursions! We went to a very interesting person’s house (they weren’t home, so we couldn’t trick or treat there, but it was still cool), to an EPIC haunted house/maze thing (complete with a boat in the pool and titanic music) where they gave out full king-sized candies, parallel parked with MAYBE an inch in front and behind Breezy’s car (she has awesome parking skills. awesome.), sprinted (in a costume, complete with a mask that ensures limited peripheral vision) around a very crowded area while trick-or-treating at celeb houses, and headed back to their place to get the Halloween party in full swing.
We had every appetizer, finger-food, dessert, and drink imaginable. A few friends came over and we had a fabulous time talking, munching on food, and waiting to watch Castle “Cops and Robbers”. Although this was arguably the most epic part of the night, I cannot really explain why because a) words cannot describe and b) some info is not to be shared on Tumblr, no matter how cool.
But let me assure you, our Castle/Halloween party was cool. So so cool.
After a long party, a lot of talking, a lot of laughter, and a lot of food, we called it a night (or should I say morning lol) and headed to bed. This morning, after waking up, dropping Ally at Disney, and grabbing breakfast, we returned to the apartment and talked. About every subject under the sun. And it was much-needed.
I’m heading back to the SF Bay this evening and I must say, I’ve never been this sad to leave LA. But, it’s LA, it’s not the other end of the world, and I’m sure I will figure out a way to be back down here before I know it (and there are rumours of my friends venturing up my way soon!)
