Surfing!

woohoo!  So today, I went surfing for the first time with Tiff, my friend from Berkeley, and her brother, and my sister.  It was pretty fun and I learned a lot, even if I only managed to stand up properly once.  haha.  I think that was my workout for the week though – for the month, really.  Tiff’s brother totally owned all of us.  I still learned a lot and I hope I can go again one day.  Or maybe I should just stick to boggie-boarding.

I really have to exercise this summer when I get back to Berkeley because I don’t think much will motivate me to exercise here.  Tiff and I are ready to work out (cross fingers)!!

Except of course, if my sister chases me around the housing demanding that I learn the Charleston.  That dance is pretty hard to do.  I’m having issues with the hand/foot coordination.  It’s a really cute dance though. 

I got into my major!! yay! one less thing to worry about, which means I will definitely beheading up next weekend to Berkeley to move in and start summer school :(  I’ll be using the weekends to explore San Francisco and Berkeley and get fat on pastries and such while exercising, so that’s the only thing I have to look forward to.  The national parks are free some weekends too and I won’t have a car.  boo. 

sorry if all that stuff i just wrote was slightly incoherent.  I’m tired.  and sore.  I’ll be in pain tomorrow.  speaking of tomorrow…

Graduation tomorrow!  congrats to all the MC seniors who were my little froshies not too long ago.

done!

woohoo.  One more year done.  Time goes by so fast - I'm half way through with college already :O

unfortunately, I don't think my finals went all that well.  GPA is definitely going down this semester :(  And this is the one semester I needed to do well in too if I wanted to get into my major.  Hopefully my music classes will help me a little.  A very little.

Oh well, I'm looking forward to going home still.  One more day.

2 weeks

So much left to do and so little time.  I can't wait though.

Unfortunatly, I have a CS project due next Monday, an EE project which my partner and I are totally screwed for due next Tuesday, an essay due next Thursday...

Now that I wrote it all out, it's scarier than I thought :(

All this, and I'm not going to be at school this coming weekend because I'm going to my uncle's house for his 60th Bday down in Fresno.  At least I'll get to see my parents there.  

But at least there's only 2 weeks of instruction left, and then finals, and then home!  

Time to get started on the above list!

Wicked!

Ok, I know I haven't updated in a very very long time.  But I am now midterm free!! and have time to write.  Finally.

So last night, I went to see Wicked at the SF Orpheum.  It was amazing.  The set was really well put together, especially when they go to the Emerald City and everything was green.  So many green lights.  They had two different people play the two main characters, Elphaba and Glinda, but they were still really good singers and actors.  Unfortunately, I went in with a headache and it didn't get any better. :(  During the second act, it got pretty bad, but I still managed to enjoy myself and the music.  Flying monkeys!

So...spring break was 3 weeks ago, I know, but I shall tell you some of the things I did in New York:

- saw Lion King - the costumes were beautiful.  We sat at an aisle seat in the orchestra and I almost got hit by one of the elephant tusks as the animals were making their way down the aisles in the opening scene.  haha.

- caught the jay-walking bug.  sigh.  everyone jaywalks there.

- saw the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.  We managed to get into the base of the statue even though they had run out of tickets.  long story.

- had gelato.  It was so delicious.

- bought real mozzarella cheese

- went to Chinatown, Little Italy, SoHo, NoHo sorta (haha, NoHo), Greenwich Village

- went to the top of the Empire State Building twice.  Once during the day and another time at like midnight :D

- saw an opera at the Met.  Cav/Pag.  good music.  sad stories.

- went to a lot of museums.  a lot of museums.  There's so much great art there.  We saw van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Picasso.  The list goes on and on.  The best museum definitely had to be the Metropolitan Museum (also called the Met, but the Met Museum i think generally).  That museum is huge.  I think I could stay there for a week and still not see everything.  They had moved an entire Egyptian temple into the museum.  and part of a pyramid.  I wish we could have spent more time there.  It was so hard to tear ourselves away though.  We also went to the Guggenheim.  Oh modern art, how I don't understand thee.

- briefly went to Grand Central Station.  The ceiling is really high and had cool artwork.  

- went to St. Patrick's Cathedral.  they have like half a dozen or more daily masses.  !!  It was really nice inside though

- went to Rockefeller Center

- ate the best cupcakes ever.  Even the frosting was delicious.

So even though our flight coming home was delayed forever, it was still totally worth it.  I want to go visit again one day.  I don't think I could live there though.

I signed the lease of the apartment for next year with two other girls I know.  It's not too far from where I'm living now, and I get my own room ^_^.  That will be a nice change.  Unfortunately, my classes are on the other side of the campus.  Buses.  taking buses.  Maybe I'll bring my bike up too.

I'm still waiting to see if I got into the major I want to switch into.  CS is being a major pain in the butt though.  I'm just hoping for a B in that class.  

3 more weeks of school!

Next week

Midterm Wednesday night.  

Midterm Thursday morning.

Half a essay due Thursday afternoon.  sigh.
