"so close."

i have a new title now. r.i.p. "where my words and thoughts collide." yeah...it's reminiscent of robin thicke and ciara. yes...i'm sure there's at least a million other people who have a similar title. i don't really care. i like it and it better represents what my blog is all about.

alright then...moving along. i can honestly declare that no year has gone by faster for me than 2008 thus far. if i didn't know better...i would have thought it was only january going on febraury. but alas....here we are at the brink of april. it's crazy but i'm actually liking the feeling. not that i don't like what 2008 has brought or what will come in the year. i'm looking forward to 2009 already because that will be the year i hopefully fulfill my dream of being a nurse. being in school seemingly non-stop for the rest of the year wasn't exactly how i saw this year was going to be but it will be nevertheless and i just have to adapt.

until then...there's obviously so much to look forward to besides schools and holidays in the present year. i'm turning 21 in about a month! i've become very much restless and excited for it. my birthday party will be a pajama jam...reliving the magic of house party 2! i know i had a previous idea for my birthday party but this is definitely much more awesome. i want my guests to be comfortable and just the flow of things to be simple. what better way to celebrate than in the clothing you sleep in. but trust me...you won't want to sleep on this party. also...i'm painting my room this weekend. finally! after months of procrastination and planning...it's going to happen. speaking of which...the long-awaited bay area trip is going to be in full effect on june 5-8. if you're available...go! i'm not 21 yet and i know of 6 vegas trips i plan on going on throughout this year. yeah...i'm on the highway to broke hahaha. sorry...i couldn't help the cheesy quip. and last but not least but will be the last thing i post here...there's the summer season. i don't say vacation because there's no such thing for me this year around. i'll still be at school or the hospital five days a week, 8 hours a day. it's going to interesting, troublesome, and exciting to see how i'm going to share in the good times with my friends while staying on point for school. no matter what happens...one notion will prevail: the summer was made for swagger. i don't know why but something tells me this will be a good summer indeed.

in reality, february 27, 2009 is very far away and the days are actually going by at the "normal" pace but the feeling is definitely different. i'm blazing through this year. i can only hope that when i get to 2009 i'll be able to rewind, look back, and remember plenty of good things.

ah...enchanted is right once again. so close and still so far. so far...but still so close.
