I'm a meatatarian, it's a personal choice, you really gotta commit to it.

About Me

HOME.SWEET.HOME. My Story:
Chapina chaparrita, originally from SouthCentral Los Angeles, but temporarily displaced in the Bay, more specifically a little town called Berkeley. I am beginning my fourth year at CAL; double majoring in Latin American Studies and Spanish.
I absolutely love the summer, and I wait all year for it to come back again.
I am focused, I know what I want, and thats what I'll get.I just don't settle for mediocrity.
Even though I have lived out here for about 3 years, I still miss LA like crazy...there is no place like home.
I am a Gemini, therefore I am witty, eloquent, intellectual, complex, wishy washy, and contradictory. But I don't really believe in horoscopes anyways.
CONTINÚA EL MISMO ASUNTO...
por quien no me apetece ingrato, lloro,
y al que me llora tierno, no apetezco:
a quien más me desdora, el alma ofrezco;
a quien me ofrece víctimas, desdoro;
desprecio al que enriquece mi decoro
y al que le hace desprecios enriquezco;
Sor Juana
