Dear Livejournal,
I may be spending 2 months in London this summer taking a Major British Authors and British Society class and interning, hopefully, in the theatre world. I am excited and would love for this to come to fruition.
Thanks for hearing out my excitement. You rock.
Best,
Ali |

Long story short, I met Ira Glass. I talked to Ira Glass. Ira Glass made me feel inspired to do what I want to do. He made me feel like I can become good at what I do. I can change things. I can turn the things around me into something more. It's an amazing feeling to know that I am not studying under amazing writers in vain. I am not saying I will change the world in the ways great authors and poets and essayist have. If I could, I wouldn't know I was, I don't think... but I can do something and that's really important to remember. I am putting all my effort into success and involvment and positivity and tolerance and love and getting the internship I know I can grow with. I will be the change I want to see in the world. One step at a time. |

Suddenly it seems like there is so much going on in my life. I didn't expect to get a new job and then I got and now I am actually pretty nervous and scared about it. Leaving my comfort zone will be great, but working with my friends is fun. It's a mom and pop beading shop and I'll learn to do more beading and that will be really fun, hopefully creatively stimulating too. I guess I really don't do well with change.
School is almost over and I fell like I've been slacking but really I haven't. ENGL 380 is terrible and Hogle seems to care but it too anal for me to get anything out of the class. Next semester is exciting with mostly major and minor classes. I will also finish my last two gen. eds. which I am very excited for too.
I've been trying to cook and bake more. I love it and feel so fulfilled when I make a meal someone truly enjoys. I've matured into a foodie, despite my limited eating of certain foods. I made potatoes au gratin and fish for the first time for my mom and David. They loved it and it made me so happy. I need to cook more. Hopefully with my new job I'll have more money to buy real groceries.
David turned 21 this week. I was really worried but so far he's been really responsible. I'm glad. I hate worrying about him and I hate being the one sober person among the many drunken people. We're going out to dinner tonight. I am so excited for dinner! He said it's a surprise which makes it even better. I hope we go to Zachary's because I've been craving it like crazy.
For being a creative writing major, I've written very little lately. I need to get back on it. I need to just write to write. I want a typewriter. I can't believe I'll be a junior and grad school is looming around the corner. Man.
I have so much going on and I feel like friends have shifted away. I'd like to reclaim some old friends and make new ones. I need to be more involved. I will apply for Person next semester and keep with the Wildcat (hopefully). I feel like things are passing me by. Am I wasting my so-called great college years? I feel like I have to get my shit together. I'm just so weighed down and bummed out with what I'm not doing and what I have going on. I want to do more and make a mark. I also just want good friends and good company. I miss some people who aren't coming back and I feel like that a really good reason to branch out. |

You know what stinks? All of the important people from my childhood chose drugs and alcohol over me. Bummer. |

Oh my god. I remember once going to a show at gameworks with Patrick (hahahahahahah) and he told me not to shout and yell because we were seeing a real hardcore band and had to clap. It was high-larious. Good times. How lame was the foothills mall? |

| The Five Year Plan. |
|
|
| 11:05pm 26/02/2009 |

So, I have decided on a five year plan.
In 2009 I am 20 years old and a sophomore at UA.
In 2011 I will be 22 years old and graduating.
In the fall of 2012 I will be starting work towards my MFA in creative writing. I will also be TAing, being paid practically nothing for teaching, but going to school for roughly 10% of the cost for a regular graduate student.
In 2014 I will be graduating with my MFA.
Somewhere around 2015 David and I can get married.
Yes, we've been dating 3 years. Yes, we are in our early twenties.
This is the five year plan. I intend to have my MFA and be married by 25. |

I know things could be worse and I look at other people who are worse off and empathy gets the best of me. I know some thing is wrong and I am trying my best to correct it. The list just gets longer and longer. I need a hair cut. I need to clean. I need to catch up on my reading for class. With time, I suppose. |

-School is inane.
-I cannot decide between fiction or non-fiction as an emphasis (Ander Monson is to blame...)
-Read Ander Monson's stuff (here: http://www.otherelectricities.com/)
-I need to get more upper body strength because rock climbing sucks when David is always better.
-I went the 40% budget cut protest, may go to the one in Phoenix too.
-My family is insane.
-I really like the Wildcat and I hope my writing improves because a lot of students read it and I don't want to stink.
-I am up too late.
-I am behind on reading.
-I like to cook and eat.
-I need to drop some LBs.
-I want to do even more creative stuff.
-Ok, I'm done now...
P.S. My birthday is on monday. I'll be 20.
Peace. |

While I will not deny I completely saw it coming and do not condones the mans actions, students are terrible and say some horrid things. His career is ruined just like Colon's. Just let it be. He's in jail, he'll never teach again, he messed up. (However, the fact that everyone said he was sooo hot and flirted with him and let him act inappropriately did not help the guy realize he REALLY needed to clean up his act.) Oh man. |

So, yesterday was my birthday... It was very laid back. I spent the whole day with David. We did breakfast, went to the Sonoran Desert Museum, got my tattoo, and had dinner (expensive!) and yummy gelato cake with my family! It was good. I am offically 19! Not all that exciting but not too bad... I can get a job serving someplace that sells alcohol... good tips! Life is a blur right now and eventually I'll do a huge update on here... for now here's a picture or two:
Oh! And this semesters classes:
LRC 204 - Race, Language, and Culture in American Education
POL 203 - Political Science: Political Ideas
NATS 104 - Food, Nutrition and You
ENGL 102 - Second Semester Composition
INDV 102 - Eastern European Cinema in a Social Context
I like my classes! |

AND I'm going to Disneyland with David next week! Yeeehaw! |

Mmkay, Hanukkah has come and gone and now it is Christmas in the bi-religious Freedman house hold.
This year was good and hopefully I will be able to recap it soon, but today we'll cover good 'ol xmas.
I won a DVD player at the IHOP christmas party, so my dad got me a 19 inch TV.
I got a super hair straightener! (Any one who had a jewfro knows what a lovely gift this is!)
I recieved clothes, socks, scarves...
50$ to Anthropologie!
50$ use anywhere Visa gift card for clothes.
An iPod dock we have to exchange.
Now, from the novio, I got the best gift humanly imaginable...
the worlds most beautiful promise ring, with all the love and commitment a little girl could ever ask for!
It doesn't hurt that it's white gold with more than 1/3 of a karat of diamond.... what??!
Not the best quality photo, but let me assure you it is beautiful.
I didn't expect a diamond ring for Christmas, however it's the best present any gal could ever ask for.
He also got me a UofA sweatshirt to match his, a lovely blouse, and a graphing calculator!
I am more than content with everything right now, especially my lovely David.
:-] |
