| mondays suck, especially when it follows an awesome weekend. getting back into school mode after my almost 2 week vacation will definitely be an ordeal, not to mention the fact that the sadness of the boy leaving is starting to kick in. sigh. one year. no biggie, right?
on another note, i went to minneapolis this weekend for the PRIDE conference! it was tons of fun, despite the 20 hour drive back and forth from minnesota. pics from the weekend will be up as soon as i get them from sabbie and mike.
for now, pics from my one week vaca in chicago!!

| my one week vacation in chicago was way too short.  i'm definitely not ready to be back in champaign and deal with all the work i left behind...
in a nutshell:
-the anniversary was amazing!! despite the hustle and bustle of it all, it was definitely worth it 'cause it seems like everyone had a great time. the church was beautiful and the ceremony, though a tad too long esp. 'cause i was standing in very new heels the entire time, was nice. it was quite an experience to see my parents get married.
-the paaaaartaaaaay was a blast as well. my dad bought me a drink, for the first time EVER. he looked very shocked when i went to the bar and ordered a sex on the beach. i think hearing me say the word "sex" caught him off guard.
-my fam-fam from cali, canada and england are all awesome. though we all got sick with the flu, we managed to have some fun bumming around burbank for a week. there were so many little kids running around everywhere that it was overwhelming, but what's a family party without a bunch of rugrats?
-gameworks and the buzz with marc, mari, ate and la were nothing short of awesome. the picture update (which will be stolen from sarah and mari  ) will be coming soon. hopefully this summer, there will be some sort of cousin reunion or something. it sucks that we all only see each other every couple of years.
-watching the descent when tipsy... hehe, fun times. i was scared out of my wits and it didn't help that mari kept jumping right before a scary part, which only got me even more scared. the movie isn't too bad in retrospect, but i was definitely under the covers during most of the movie. afterwards, we had the traditional telling of personal scary stories and marc attempting to scare us. chill nights with cousins are wonderful.
now...back to reality and homework...

| here we are...what's sad is that i knew this was coming all along and i thought i was prepared. i thought i could handle it when we said goodbye and there would be no tears. but of course, the second i saw him when i opened the door, i felt my eyes water and it was uncontrollable. i'm kinda embarrased to tell you the truth, 'cause i was so determined to look happy for him, but what can i say? i have no will power.
driving home yesterday, i was listening to an old mix cd and heard a song that made me cry my eyes out to the point that i had to stop at manteno (which forever will be remembered as man-teeeeeee-nooooo, thanks to him). now that song is on constant replay. i have a theory that listening to the song incessantly and purging myself of tears will make the pain go away faster...
once in every life
someone steals your heart
and you're forever changed
even when you must part
you find it hard to leave
the feelings aren't gone
but a voice inside is telling you
you can't hold on
so say goodbye
oh i can't say that i won't cry
cause i'm so glad
for everything we had
the good and bad
say goodbye
just look at me
you'll know that i… still love you so
even though we have to say goodbye
no matter where you are
wherever that may be
i will always have you here
deep in the heart of me
and if i never see that warm and tender smile again
we will always have the memories….remember when...
so say goodbye
oh i can't say that i won't cry
cause i'm so glad
for everything we had
the good and bad
say goodbye
just look at me
you'll know that i… still love you so
even though we have to say goodbye
you've got your life and you know i've got mine
but we will always be
forever intertwined
our hearts know that it would be wrong to stay
so before you turn and walk away
so say goodbye
oh i can't say that i won't cry
cause i'm so glad
for everything we had
the good and bad
say goodbye
just look at me
you'll know that i… still love you so
even though we have to say goodbye
