| My family has been here from out of town for the past several days, which makes me incredibly stoked. We've been celebrating graduations and catching up and things... it's been fantastic.
On the other hand, I wish they could meet Motociclista. My aunts, at least, are very curious about him. But, he's been gone for the past week traveling Europe with his buddy. He'll be gone for the next three. I miss him immensely, and despite the craziness of having family EVERYWHERE - which I had hoped would take my mind off the fact that he's not here - instead, it amplifies it, because they want to meet him, and I'd LOVE to introduce them to him...
He's been texting me when he gets a chance the past few days (via AIM on his iPod Touch, as to avoid insanely high international texting rates... I hope), which makes it so much more bearable; I feel like he's still not that far away... but when I realize, it's ONLY been a week...
Today, he texted me and told me something to blow my mind away:
"I've learned something here," he said. "..I really don't want to be with anyone but you." He continued, "When we go out or hang out with any other girls, they just make me miss you."
I know it's simple and corny, but... truthfully, if I may, I was paranoid about his Eurotrip. I know that there are international women, BEAUTIFUL exotic women, and plenty of temptation... I told him that he's free to do what he wants, and that please, "what happens in Europe stays in Europe," but that I also trust him to do what he thinks is right for him. I didn't want to restrict him in any way; if he were to discover that he has a whole world to experience - metaphorically or not - I didn't want to hold him back.
But to hear that from him... to know for CERTAIN that I'm the only one on his mind, even though he's adding new friends on Facebook every day (many, if not most of them being women so far - all on his tour bus). And I know then, that they are JUST friends. He has never EVER lied to me, and he is not a man who talks about his feelings for me often, preferring to show it through action or physically, so when he says in words how he feels... it's more than meaningful to me. I have absolutely NO reason to be jealous (aside from the fact that he's spending a month in Europe, of course  )... and quite honestly, it reminds me just how much I'm absolutely in love with him.
In the meantime though, I need to spend what time I have left with my family here; they'll be going back to their homes in just a few days, and I hate that it will probably be another 2 years before we'll see them again (I hope not!!!). On the bright side, we did see Transformers today (one of those movies that are SO bad it's good, albeit quite long. Seriously Michael Bay, you couldn't have cut out at least a half hour of explosions?), which was a good time

| Today was the LAST day of the whole MA exam process:
THE ORAL DEFENSE.
*cue scary music*
Naturally, I was absolutely terrified. I crammmmmmmed as much as I could beforehand, going over my essays, going over things that I should've read that I didn't, going over everything that I thought I should know but didn't...
It went surprisingly well (save my stupid stupid stupid blurp that Becquer was a modernist... I caught myself, however, and realized I meant Ruben Dario... dummy ^_^)
They asked me to leave for a few moments while they decided whether or not I passed. I left and walked slightly down the hall, then I heard a burst of loud laughter.
That's nerve-racking.
But then, when I was called back in, they told me that I did really well, and not only did I pass both sections, but I got a HIGH pass in BOTH!!! 
Considering I was only aiming for a pass, I was thoroughly shocked.  And, of course, FREAKISHLY excited 
(FYI: We have to have two concentrations; you are rated individually on both. The ratings are as follows: High pass, Pass, Low pass, Fail).
Sooo... once this quarter's over... I am a MASTER!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY

| Suuuuuuch a long time since I've updated/been on xanga... for me, anyway.
I miss it, truthfully. I had started this because so that when I didn't have time to write in my diary, I could at least purge here.
Now, I just don't have time.
I begin my MA exams in 7.5 days. I'm terrified.
It's a long ordeal - I pick up my first set of 4 questions on Thursday at 9am and answer two of them by noon on Friday. I have the weekend to cry about it, then do the same thing the following Monday-Tuesday. I have the rest of that week to cry about it, then I have the oral defense that following Monday.
I'm also trying to cram everything I possibly can into... now.
So, I'll disappear again until after then...
Wish me luck...! O_O
