New Life!

Hi, my name is Jaime Rogers and I am the new Analytical Research Assistant in San Luis Obispo.

You Could be Happy

You could be happy, and I won't know.
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go.

And all the things that I wish I had not said,
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head.

Is it too late to remind you how we were,
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur.

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door.

You could be happy, I hope you are.
You've made me happier than I've been by far.

Somehow everything I own smells of you.
And for the tiniest moment, it's all not true.

Do the things you that you always wanted to.
Without me there to hold you back
Don't think, just do.

More than anything I want to see you go,
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world.

Senior Project

It is official. I turned in my senior project today! It only took me 1.6 quarters after I graduated to finish it..haha. Oh well, it's done! YAY! Now, I can get my incompletes fixed (right RS?), and my DIPLOMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's celebrate.

"She's Pretty Great"

• I like sushi. Well, kinda. I went out with some friends and actually tried it, and yes, they were proud. The first roll I had was the Ninja (heeyah!) and I put the entire thing in my mouth as instructed, and blech! it was sickening. The seaweed-wrapped mound was NOT good, so on the next one, I took off the seaweed and ate the insides with a fork. It was delicious!!!!!!! Then, I had a Crunchy Roll. This one was better because it wasn't wrapped with seaweed, but it was huge, so when I put it all in my mouth, I couldn't even breathe, chew, swallow, nothing! I tried another one, this time cutting it in half, and it was much much much better. Finally, I had another similar roll without seaweed again and it was quite nice....with a fork. Overall, the highlight of the night was the edamame and my dear soda. I would definitely go again as long as I can use a fork, and you don't make me eat a whole piece at once.

• I have been job hunting because EAS isn't paying the bills. I decided I need more experience in the industry because a) there's better paying jobs out there for my qualifications and b) I'm bored and I want to try something new. Eventually, if I get into grad school, I'll probably go, because I am 80% sure I will not enjoy running instruments and analyzing data for too long.

• I am currently looking for a new roommate. My roommate is moving home for the summer and won't be coming back because he is transfering to Saint Mary's up north. This sucks because his dad pays most of the rent and I give him $500 for my own room and bathroom in a really nice apartment. Since I don't want to move again I am staying but the rent is going up! I haven't found a new roommate yet, but a couple people have been interested. Let me know if you know anyone who needs a home starting June 1!!!

• I threw Heather's Red Hot Lingerie party last weekend, and it was a HUGE success. Heather had a great time, and she got a million pairs of new panties, and crotchless bloomers compliments of Ryan's parents! How great is that??

• A bunch of us went to Vallartas for Cinco de Mayo for dinner and margaritas! We ended up having 5 or 6 pitchers, and pretty much the entire restuarant was drunk and crazy. It was a great time with great friends!

• We leave for Vegas in 10 days!!!! Heather, Rachel, Alissa and I are driving from here and we are picking up Joanna and Lindsay from the airport. Vegas + 6 girls + bachelorette = insanely good times. I can't wait!!!

• That is my grand update. Life is getting better, and things are starting to work out....maaaybe.
