shauna e serdahl's Journal

i dont feel i need to explain my art to you warren.
thats it thats it i swear i dont care about anything anymore except the smell of clean laundry and finding someone to fight with who will also fight for me. the funny thing about today is i finally went to class on time ten minutes early even for once and its cancelled. a new job is in the works. this month is actually 2 years at this here current job. school work school work watch friends.

bite my lip:black my eye
where the heck do vacations go? that is what i would like to know cause to me it feels like just yesterday i woke up and said to myself ' hey i just finished my finals and now i have an entire month of freedom' but no nope no longer. it has dwindled! down to a week. thats right seven measely days. and then i begin the "terrible" quarter (a grim prediction of mine) and the worst thing is all the people who got to visit or where home for the holidays that i miss during the year had to go back home or back to school, or are going soon, so i miss them again. but enough of the sob story. who doesnt have it tough huh? well its practically new years so lets hear some resolutions! mine is to GO TO CLASS!!! which will be hard because i like to play hookie. but i will try cross my heart and kiss my elbow xo~s

the winter festivus hast arrived
dont forget kids! tonight is the night ! see you around 7! ~shauna

in fair verona where two star cross'ed lovers take their lives
who knows why people (and when i say people of course i mean me) watch romeo+juliet over and over? the ending is always the same. the timing is always off by one half of one second. maybe because there is always slight hope? the hope that the one time out of one hundred times that "we" watch it that the ending will change? and that everyone will live happily ever after? well who knows. maybe its just one of those things.amystery a mr.e. but anyhow so sarah and i watched a movie tonight can you guess which one!? i bet not. so i am home from a delightful weekend at camp. it was actually one of the best so far. there was a large group which was nice because it kept me busy rather than bored, which is more productive and appealing to me anyhow. on sat we had a staff christmas party which was nice because i got to hang out with everyone outside of the whole work dynamic which was a nice change sun my friend and i got lunch and did some MORE christmas shopping in downtown santa cruz. blah to christmas shopping i am pretty tired of it but im still not quite done. well this should be a good week with people visiting and all oh and i dont have to go to work so lets hang out ok! i wont play hermit, i wont. i am determined that i will give proper attention to the day. andyou should too ~s

shines the pavement and glimmer city
today was a full and draining day one of the best because its the first free day w/out the guilt of skipping class hanging over my head that ive had since the quarter began. it began with a trip down to berkeley were i went to buffalo excange and sold off some of my "closet" clothes you know the type the ones you never wear and are just taking up valuable space. then i went down to codys and made the first of my christmas purchases! fantastic. anyhow spent some of the afternoon delivering invites then off to work were things were tepid and violent as per usual. got off late and horray for sarah v dyer is now back on the scene so we went to the mall (horror of horrors) where i made purchases for my family. and i didnt do half bad. but now my feet are killing me cause we circled that place like three times or something similarly silly. well im off to camp this weekend where is going to be a madhouse with a huge group coming in.."i cant wait" i am so glad you are coming to my party ben! see everybody soon <3shauna ps HELLLO DAN so glad you are home i do hope you can make it to the festivus as well!

its the end of an era
well today was it! now i can embrace my hardly fought for freedom from the education system for an entire month. and i already have an itinary planned practically for tomorrow my first offical day of break! why so obsessed with being on vacation? who knows!! the dull dundrum that is somewhat cal state hayward is the main answer. well i spent most of the day in the car as usual on the commute..listening to michael jackson..it makes you move yah know. and the best thing about today is that it had friday like qualities and feeling. hmm im wondering where some people are today. but i did get to see luke,cori and lola. so that was good. <3s

onthehourevery hour
hello to everyone how are you all it seems i have been stuck inside for days.. for various reasons the most recent being i have a most gross cold. ( you know the type: headache, hacking cough, snot) yup i got the works! its pretty inconvient seeing as tomorrow i have a final! oh sheesh how am i supposed to study and blow my nose insessently at the same time? well even with the sickness plans for my much antisipated winter festivus are right on scedule! dont forget to let me know if you can show! the best thing though only two finals and thats it for me winter break it is and o how i am ready for it <3s

was that the end!?
well i m home again and wondering what the heck happened this weekend? well i know that for me i had a beautifully painful migraine and sliced my finger on a razor the cut was the kind that doesnt really hurt but bleeds like no other. i came home and went to church with cori and shelley which was very nice cause it was at the rock where i have never gone before but people that i know and have not seen for a while do so it was nice to see them again. and i am glad to see that micah is home. and i am wondering if i am losing one of my closest friends. is it so hard to pick up the phone and talk about things? when i am upset i read my favorite book i have read it cover to cover twice in the last four days. so rocky have you abandoned us so soon?? i hope not. let me know. well fall/winter is here finally i was getting darn sick of those indian summers now its all tea and sweaters for me fabulous.

theonlywaydownisdownhill
is it movie weather yet? you bet just look outside and you can tell! cup o tea a snack some friends and a flick that is where its at. well lets see its finally wed i am so glad of that because now the week is 3/5 over and i can celebrate the downhill into the weekend even if this weekend is going to camp which i dont really want to do its ok.

19! is not the age of reason i didnt have a reason for setting you free
you know it strange when i finally feel like coming out of the house it seems like no one else does! oh heck its ok why scedule halloween on a such a useless day as a wed? halloween is such a fun holiday and there are only a few more years that i can really enjoy it and to have it on a wed! its killing me! you cant do much on a day thats smack in the middle of the week. movies are good but next time i pick! thai food tonight anyone? come on lets be social! ( and not as in socialist!) the winter makes me want to travel.
busy and bustling around maybe it has something to do with the rain something to do with that wonderfully crisp winter feel i just know i wanna get somewhere i mean really have you seen how beautiful the beach is on a cold winter day? its just that and i want to go there again.

its good to weekend
ahhh! it was soooo good to stay home for a weekend! just doing things like sleeping in and going to sat pottery class (where i dont have to fight for a wheel) and getting to go to good shows again and just spending some time with people. but next weekend it will be back to camp cause there are many (toomany) cds that i would like to purchase. this weeks goals : go to class!!! i have a midterm on friday in my california history class that i have only gone to three times) go to work!!! and make that evil money. cori and i were talking about how we need to get jobs that pay more money cause we want to move out and be roomies but we are both on the poor end of things. but yes i hope everyone had a great weekend too
happy you are happy
requests for my cd luke

if i think of anything else i will let you know!

i'll one line your drawing
wow! this was a great night it was fantastic to see everybody ! it seemed like everyone was there which was wonderful! and jonah was so kind! he was real and so much nicer than i thought he would be. and i got to meet lola who is very sweet. i am just glad that this week is over and that i am not leaving to go to camp this weekend i havent been home in 5 weekends! can you belive this ! it is fun there is no denying it but it does take alot of effort sometimes.
but things are good...now i have to admit these last couple of weeks have been hard for me for various reasons but things are definately better.
hope to see you soon! miss you love shauna

hey im going to camp for the weekend i dont really want to but i really do want to be here next weekend for the o.l.d. show so i will do what i gotta do hope everyone is good i had a cool dream last night that luke cori and i were dressed in 40's clothes and eating at one of those diners that are made out of old trains cori had a little black hat on and gloves and luke was wearing a suit. have a gooood weekend everyone missyou love shauna

get me outta this car!
so ive finally started school and i am beginning to think that the spare month i had between getting home from camp and going back to school didnt really do me any favors cause its been really hard to get up and go to class. even though they are decent classes (minus the ca history one which is mainly due to the underactive professor) i feel that i have been out of the swing of things (work and school wise) and i havent gotten back into them quite yet.. which is somewhat uncomfortable. the best thing about this week so far has been not spending too much time in the car. which we all did this weekend but i agree with joel when he says that memories have no price tag (this weekend definatly did too) it is going down in infamy and is going to come back around in that story telling form that begins with "o man do you remember that one weekend in so cal..." but it was great to just spend time with everyone cori luke sarah joel erin the worst thing about starting school is that i wont get to do as much stuff with everyone.. gotta love required reading. missyou love shauna

<3/<x3
i am home and happy the weekend was great i love working at camp the place is beautiful the people are fun its getting paid to have a good time practically friday night i ended up going to a beach bonfire with some friends we made smores and had some worship time, tonight i went to 'graceland' the church in santa cruz that i adore. things in my life have been going so well, i feel happier inside now then i have in a long time, close friends who actually love and miss each other means more than anything to me. even and especially those who i havent talked to in a while...
