San Francisco

is incredible so far (:

Let go to get one,

Lose some to win some.

You can only be happy for so long.

I think about change all the time, and I've constantly argued with myself over whether or not it's good or bad. My favorite book since the eighth grade was The Outsiders, because the whole idea of the story was that "nothing gold can stay."

I'm looking at my blog entries, and besides the on-the-surface "hey guys, this is what i'm up to" blog, there are two types; there's either the blog where I'm chasing the past and absolutely disgusted with terrible damage it can do, or the blog in which I'm pushing for change, and trying to make things better.

I think I've accepted that that's what life really is - constant change.

I've accepted the ups and the downs.
The ups because, well... everyone likes to be happy.
The downs because without them, the ups wouldn't seem so high, now would they?

Am I making any sense at all?
I highly doubt it. I never do.

I am

extraordinarily happy.



And I've never been so sure.

Unfortunately, I'm still writing this blog license-less. I went to the DMV last Tuesday with Chris and his right brake light wasn't working. We're going again on Wednesday, so if I don't have it by then, I officially give up.

I got my acceptance letter to San Francisco State today, and that's where I've decided to go next Fall. When I was applying last year, it was actually my fourth choice to go to school. I was more excited about this acceptance than my scholarship to St. John's and Hofstra last year. Ummmm.

So not only am I heading up there next year, but in two weeks as well. Road trip to Santa Cruz, Berkeley, and of course SF State. I'm super excited 'cause I'm going with Stefatty and Lord knows how that's going to go down! Mmmm yes.

What else? Mmmm... I'm heading to Long Beach Wednesday after my test to sleep at Cindy's and go to the aquarium after about five years. Finally!

Voting takes place tomorrow. Where are my votes going?

I'm still not sure about a few propositions, but I'll get to it before I head over to the polls. I definitely know who I'd be voting for in the Presidental election. Tomorrow's a really big day, and it'll definitely change everything. Let's Hope for the best, shall we?

I'm sorry my blogs have been more on the surface than anything. My emotional state can pretty much be summed up in the title of this blog. Nothing too extraordinary - just satisfactory.

Oh yeah, Halloween was good. I was a black cat. Pictures up later? Maybe.
