UPDATE!!

Well.. nothing new really. I got up early this morning and cleaned my apt.. then I just chilled and went to the mall. I then went to lab and then to Ashley's place.. and now I am still here hanging out with her and Eugene.

So.. I never know what to write in these things.. I miss home sooo much and I can not wait to be there. Umm.. I am in the end of the term for my classes and will be starting the new ones on monday. I don't have much planned for next month.. I might go to Universal Horror Nights and the vegetarian festival. Oh... and to a concert with Ash.

That is all for now.. BTW this friday is international hug a vegetarian day!!!!!

hey everyone!!

Since the last time that I posted there has been a ton of things that have happened!!

Well.. Rick was here for several days, he was supposed to be here for the entire month of August but on the fourth day that he was here we got news that his grandmother passed away, so we both flew back to la to attend the wake and the funeral. :( I miss her so much, she was such an amazing and giving individual.

On a lighter note, Rick came back for several days (4) later in the month/ beginning of September.. he made it for his birthday and Eugene's graduation. I wish that he could have never left.

Now.. I have been living on my own for several weeks.. and I have to say... I LOVE IT!! I never again want roommates!! Also, I have been a vegetarian now for over four months now YAY!

Well.. I do not know what else to write to BYE!

(you already know all this ash)

I have had my own apartment for two lovely weeks.. and I love it. I will be posting some pictures soon enough.

I am in my last week of my current courses, advanced lighting and makeup. I absolutely love the makeup class and lighting is a lot better than expected. I am doing GREAT in both courses.. am I'm positive that I will be getting A's.

As for my social life.. well I have been meeting a lot of new people and I still hang out with all the usuals!! My wife/ twin/ bff Ashley, Eugene, Frank (lol), Mary.. and Kendra. I am sooo exited for August!!

Well... gotta run!

I had my first advanced lighting lab yesterday... it was alright. Better than I expected. I even made faux balloons out of the rosco gels. Went to lecture today (make-up) they showed us some pretty cool things. God, I can't wait till tomorrow... im tired of waiting!

i got back from home (l.a) monday morning SUCKS. i wish that full sail was located out there. as much as i like living in orlando.. there is no place like home!! i miss my family soooooo and my boyfriend (wow! i think this is the first time that i have mentioned him)... im also missing all my friends...

on a lighter note... i am extremely exited for this weekend!! i get my keys to my apt (yes, yes, an apt all to myself!) and i'm also exited for aug 1st ;)

so i don't have much else to write. toodles!

so today... interesting day to say the least...

i woke up and went to lecture (history of motion picture arts).. watched casablanca (yay!) and then went to the mall with my wife ashley. i didn't buy much.. just the ralph lauren perfume that i had been wanting since forever!! then i came home.. went to steak and shake.. and now i am back.

today marks four weeks of my meat free life!! i am so proud of myself!

so... i go home in about nineteen days.. then soon after that i finally get the keys to my new apartment.. i am soooo exited!

Two weeks since I last wrote. WOW! I'm getting better! Next thing you know I'll be wrting the exact times that I eat and shower, maybe evern use the bathroom.

Anyway.....

I went to Cleveland after all, and had a blast. Visited the Cleveland Zoo (Ashley took a "detour") so on the way there I got to see a little of downtown and the Indians stadium (boooo!). The zoo was fun, Onnika had a blast except for her thinking that everything was going go eat or bite her...even the butterflies. We also went to Cedar point.. and (drum cadance) I got on the Dragster! The drive to Cleveland and back was fun, I'm sure Ashley and I are now full of inside jokes!

BTW I <3 Desperate Housewives!

So earlier this week I started my new classes, Edititng and History of Motion Picture Arts! They're ok..

On a lighter note, I go home in 21 days!! When I get back I finally get my own apartment!! YAY!

UPDATE!!

For the sake of pleasing Ashley and giving her something to do as we “prepare” I will update. Lets see…. Last time I wrote was two months ago... since then I have been extremely busy with school.

In March I finished sound for film and storytelling, come April I started the directing and digital cinematography courses. April was all pre-production and for the last week I have been filming my first Full Sail film “Big Bad Booty Daddy” which wrapped Saturday night. YAY! I now have two weeks off before I return to school, which is GREAT as I am in much need of a break. Filming mentally and physically drains you. Period. Although fun.

This Friday I will be going on a road trip cross country, (again, the last was from LA to Orlando) but this time is Orlando to Cleveland and back on June 2nd. I am soooo exited!! The drive alone will be fun… just me, Ashley, and Penny!! Once there… who knows what we will do! Cedar Point maybe?

I haven't ate meat in several days.. five maybe... I wish that I remembered the exact date incase I actually go cold turkey and become veggitarian. haha.. cold turkey.. veggitarian. I'm exited though!

Another thing to be exited about?!? August!! I have two things that I am looking forward to in August.. wait make that three. Sorry But I have to keep them secret at this point in time. ;)

P.S I learned how to use Devils Sticks last night.

P.S.S I suck at it.

My first entry.. yay!

Hey the name is Erica, and Im the glass is half full type of gal. My life is full of spontaneity, so you will never be bored around me. I live for passion, I thrive for what others might think is the inconceivable, and I hate to lose. I am very stubborn, but worth the time because I am ever so charming. I am not afraid to admit that I am a self proclaimed vixen because frankly I do not care what others think. I am a maverick, hence the name MavEriCa. I love glamour, and class, and just having fun. In times of despair, I laugh, and think hey, it will get better. I am self conscious, but I believe that is a good trait because it is what pushes me to be better, as it should everyone else.

I am currently attending FS in florida, working towards my BS in film and then my masters in entertainment business. The plan is to run or open a major film production company.

My home is in SoCal, as is my family and friends.... oh and some guy named Rick that calls me his girlfriend.

Hope that you enjoy my journal!!!
