Hello again. As always, I hope that everybody is doing well. The weather has been humid and ugly all day today. Here’s a quick photo that I wanted to share. It’s an origami figure that Eunice created for me. The figure is based off of a dramatic thriller-type video game called Heavy Rain. For the past two nights, Anthony, Matt, Raymond, Thomas, and I have been playing this game nonstop until we beat it. The game is really incredible and kept all of us on the edge of our seats through the entire game. It’s a really fun and suspenseful game that gets everybody indirectly involved. The storyline is truly an incredible experience and will keep you thinking for days to come. If you have the chance to play this game, then you really should, especially with friends!!

So anyways, I finally finished my application for Texas A&M University. It took weeks for me to finish it and I’m glad that I nailed it before the deadline.  I also applied to University of Texas San Antonio, kind of as a fall back plan just incase things don’t work thing. It’s crazy that it took weeks for me to apply to A&M, but only minutes to apply for UTSA. I did not apply to University of Texas at Austin because I missed the deadline (or laziness) or Texas State University because it did not offer what I needed. Well nonetheless, I’m glad that I finally have all of my college applications all squared away and I don’t have to worry about them any longer. The only thing left for me to do cross my fingers and pray that I make it, here’s to hoping! :)

Please stay happy and healthy everybody! I’m going crazy. I’ll see you soon..

How is everybody? I hope that you all are doing very well and kicking things off right this new year! ^O^

Yesterday was such a lazy day. I had so much to do and ended up doing nothing at all. My laundry is still dirty and I still need to visit the school to inquire some info about financial aid. Though I was pretty dead during the daytime, things started to become lively during the night. Matt and I decided to treat our friend Devo, who turned 21 yesterday, to a small birthday surprise. Nothing too big, just cake, snacks, and a great time together with the rest of our friends. Happy 21st Devo! :)

 

Thomas: Take a picture of my shadow.

Ruiz: It’s too dark, I can’t see anything.

Thomas: Use the flash.

Ruiz: …

Lol, happy birthday Thomas.

Hello! Is everybody staying warm? I’m having a hard time doing so, I don’t want to kill mom’s energy bill. :(

Remember that English essay I took earlier this week that I said I didn’t know anything about what I was writing? Well it appears that I got a 90 on it! It’s completely ironic considering that when I felt knowledgeable about writing other essays, I would get 75 or an 82. Maybe I should just not know stuff from now on. :) Well, my English finals are over with, next week will be both History and Business Speaking on the same day. Wish me luck!!

Lets talk about something that some people have recently been curious about. The removal of my wisdom teeth last week. Unlike some of my lucky friends, my wisdom teeth grew in at a perfect sideways angle. Food kept getting stuck and I was getting pretty fed up with it. Exactly one week ago, Thomas took me to the orthodontist to get all four of the suckers removed. When the time for operation came, I smoothed my hair, sat back in my chair (Owl city reference, ha), and let them do their thing. They made me inhale laughing gas through my nose. I know why they call it laughing gas now!! It’s not because the gas makes you laugh, but it’s because you get really sleepy every time you breathe in, and that fact alone makes you laugh! You know how when you breathe in, your chest rises? Well, if it’s laughing gas you’re breathing in, then your chest does the opposite, it sinks down. Anyways, they then gave me a lethal injection and I died. Well, something like that. They injected me and I fell asleep. What happened after that remains a mystery… (continue reading…)
