A bittersweet goodbye

Saying goodbye is hard to do and in this case, bittersweet. This is how I feel with saying goodbye to my Junior College, Las Positas. Three long yet short years. Wow time just keeps going. I really enjoyed my last semester and I know I will miss it. This spring semester consisted of four classes, Volleyball, U.S. Women's Literature, Art History, and Theater Arts. Many laughs and fooling around in Volleyball and learning the game bette rand being comfortable spiking.Keeping the tradition of Frisbee Fridays after student government meetings. Finally chopping my hair off and donating it to Pantene where wigs are made for women. Going to March in March in Sacramento with Student Government and singing songs on the bus ride there and being the loudest and energetic school there. Driving each day, and appreciating to have a car, no more long bus rides! Listening to the Hollywood song and Eko-m my lady while going to school or work. Getting into Chinese yet missing German and realizing that my heart is for German and Germany and that I want to go abroad, Jah!:) Loving my English class and learning about art history and all the various types of art and artists. Butt not looking forward to my Theater Arts class but going anyway. Subway runs because I know I didn't bring enough food for me to last me till work, I think my favorite is period is Impressionism. Trying to prepare myself for Cal State East Bay and all that lays ahead. Working at Kumon 13 hours a week and getting my older sister the job. Reminiscing about my time at Las Positas and what I have learned, experience and gained and the people and friends I have made. Going to Welcome Day at East Bay and feeling nervous yet excited and happy to become a Pioneer and be part of the school in the Bay!

Bridal Shower for my sista

Last Sunday was my sister's bridal shower in Sacramento. And what a shower it was! I had fun as well as the other bridesmaids and friends who were invited but most importantly my sister Meghan, the bride had a ball.

My sisters and my Mom and my Mom's friend had fun decorating her house before the shower while she was out eating lunch with her fiance'. I must say we did a pretty good job too. Although she knew that there was going to be a bridal shower at her house, she was still surprised as ever and smiling from ear to ear.

The food was amazing as well as the dessert. And the guests had a fun time with the games. One of them was making a wedding dress from toilet paper by wrapping it around the person who chose to be the  'bride' and the bride being the judge of which one she liked best.

It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny and anticipating the last few weeks before the big day!

This is me explaining why the dress that I helped designed via toilet paper is the best dress!

Some of the delicious desserts, tuxedo strawberries

Hello 2013!

It's been a while since I last wrote. And a new year has already begun! It's hard to believe how time flies by. This past fall semester was eventful and pretty busy for me. With 5 classes, involved with student government and working at Kumon twice a week, I felt that I didn't have a lot of spare time on my hands. 

Recovering from a busy fall semester, I am enjoying a break from school over this long Christmas Break. Also with 2013 in full swing, I have already made resolutions and the usual predictions for what this year will bring. 

Peace. Love. Joy in 2013

Happy New Year!

Saying hello to something that will happen

As the semester comes to a close, I think back to what I have learned. This semester I took 4 classes which adds up to 14 units. I have to say that I have enjoyed my English class the most out of all of the classes I have taken. Maybe it's because I am an English major. I have to say that the class I disliked the most is Astronomy. In all honesty, I thought it was going to be very cool and interesting to learn about the planets and the stars. However, I felt like I didn't learn a lot. I still think Astronomy is somewhat interesting, and I love looking up at the night sky but learning about the distances from other planets and other mathematical equations that are hard to picture in my head, I do not find interesting.

However, I feel like for this semester I have learned that you need to break out of your shell and try some new things. For example, I decided to join student government, and become a senator for my school. I would have never though that I would join student government. But one of my friends convinced me to do it. I figured that I might as well try it out, meet more people, get involved, have fun, learn new things and it is something that looks good for schools. 

Looking ahead to the Fall Semester and wondering what will come of it, makes me think back to when I got new shoes at the beginning of this semester, and how with the new semester and the new shoes that I would break into, and everything that I would experience. Well those shoes haven't been worn since March, but soon again they will be worn and walked in. As for now, sandals have been my shoe for everyday, in which the summer sun has drawn a tan line on my feet. 

Good bye Spring Semester and Hello Summer.
