| Hello, hello:
I have FINALLY decided what I really want to do with my life.
Finish my english major--->
Get a master's degree in Anthroplogy--->
Get a Human Rights Law degree--->
Work for a Human Rights Agency such as Amnesty International or International Justice Mission
I would strongly recommend everyone to learn more about these two organizations. They do some really great things in this world and for a long time I have greatly admired their cause. It has truly been an inspiration to me.
I may be able to skip the MA in Anthropology but I think that it would help me get into law school. If I'm able to get into law school right after PUC then I will go and do the combined Law degree and Master's of Public Health. Some of the schools offer that. However, I don't have the GPA that I would like becuase I took all those pre-dent classes, which I loathed, which are also now unecessary. Hopefully something comes up.
I'm really excited about this new plan. I feel like I could really do something great with this. College has made me realized, more than ever, that I have been raised in priviledged circumstances. I need to use this undeserved advantage for good.
Wedding is coming up! I just finished designing the invitations. I like them alot better now. :)

| Hello people,
As usual I have lots to say but little energy to do so. I've been watching more of west wing than I should be. My allergies are in perfect timing with the beautiful mustard between the wine wines and the flowering trees. It's an unfortunate coincidence. In psych they say correlation does not equal causation...I'd like to prove them wrong.
I got a preliminary evaluation for ADD. Appears that I have a very strong likelihood of having it. Have an appt with the professional that can diagnose it. Kinda makes me feel better about myself actually. Now I get to take an amphetamine to make me all better. Sound like a deal. Actually, I just really have been feeling like something was in the way of me reaching my potential. I know, sounds cliche. Anyhow, Dr Hemmerlin, My O chem teacher from last quarter, is really happy that I finally took the initiative to find out. He thought I had a positive outlook on it. That was nice to hear. I think that if my graedes improve because of this it will be a huge boost to my dental school application. This actually really excites me. I'm actually looking forward to studying like a normal person. I can promist you this, right now I would be reading "The Sound and the Fury" instead of writing this. Oh well, I put a hight priority on preserving my history.
I got an interesting valentine yesterday (besides what Trevor got me). In my mailbox was a heart shaped cookie with a note attached that read: " Stephanie Holiman, Don't marry Trevor, pick me instead! Happy Valentimes day. -Your secret Admirers." So it appears there was more than one. But I'm more content just to believe that it was a hoax. I'd like to know who would take the time to do that though. I asked around to find out if it was a Student Association thing, but it isn't. OH well, time will tell. It was funny though. Gave me something to talk about anyway.
As far as Trevor and I are concerned... I made him a Random list (don't ask, it's a personal thing) and then made him a cheesy valentine heart reminiscent of grade school. However, I did write out " Happy Valentines Day" with metallic Pipe cleaners and sew them onto the heart covered cardboard. That was a task. I poked myself and bled, a sign of true love. Trevor took me to the market where I picked out a large potted plant, and a smaller potted plant. I decided that I wanted to pick them out. I've been really wanting a plant (something alive rather than me and dust mites) for my room and now I do. It's funny how much better it makes me feel. Maybe it's strange. I like them a lot though. The larger one has large marquise shaped leaves with white centers that fade to dark green on the outer border. The smaller one has slim multi-pinnate leaves that fan out like palm branches. It's pretty and delicate. And whoever is reading this is probably thinking that they just wasted a good 3 minutes of their life; you did, sorry (but not really sorry).
A PUC student died int he gym last night. His name is David Egwakhe. He was playing basketball in intramurals, hit his head and then was gone a few minutes afterwards. At least that is how the story goes as of now. Not sure if it was a heart attack or an aneurism. Could be anything I suppose. It's really sad. It has caused more than a few changes on campus. Cancelled meetings, events, change of events etc. I wish i had spent more time getting to know him. He was always very friendly with me. He introduced me to his sister last quarter. They were both nursing majors. He was almost done, next quarter was his last. The funeral will be this friday @1.
My neck hurts. Hope I'm not sick. I'm vaccinated from meningitis. Hope it's not that. I know some strains are not covered in the vaccine.
later everyone.
goodnight and peace and peaches to all.... | | |
| sorry..... I've been busy lately and will be in the near future. Actually probably for about the 40 years or so. I don't have a lot of time to update this but I will try. I actually don't think anyone really reads my xanga anyway.

Trevor cut his hair short and shaved his beard.
Yay!!!!!
I'm in Winter quarter, Junior year. I have a really good chance of graduating on time as long as I don't fail any classes. :) | | |
| Hello everyone. I'm in New England now. I think I'll be in Maine till sunday and then NH from then on. Well, untill around New Years. We're thinking about going to New York. I hope we do, I've been wanting to do the whole TImes Square thing for a long time.
I've been having incredible luck with Friendster lately. I thought it was silly and just a waste of time untill it helped me make contact with a long lost Friend, Geraldine. That was really cool. My whole family was really excited about that.
Wedding planning is under way. I need to look up photographers this week. And caterers etc. So much! Anyway, I picked Rose Pink and Chocolate Brown for my colors. Now the girls have to find some cute dresses to go with it. I think those colors will go well with my dress which is Ivory and Rum Pink. I kinda wish I had waited a bit longer to buy my dress but I think I still like it. It is a Oleg Cassini.
I think I'm going to take a nap now. hmmm nap. yayyyyy

| Trevor and I are engaged. I'll write about how it happened later. I'm at PUC right now for the RA retreat and orientation. We went to San Francisco and Oakland today. It was a fun but tiring day. Gotta go, bye. | | |
