Concert Weekend

I had my final concert at Mt SAC with the chamber singers on Saturday night! It was a little weird because usually this is the last time we all sing together, so it's an emotional experience or something, but we are going to Australia in a month, so Mr Rogers just treated like any other concert... which was a little weird. Anyway, it was cool. Cam and his mom came to watch and my dad and Beth and Kylee came down this weekend to see my concert and do the Disneyland thing. It was a great weekend, my family and Cam and Reese and I all went to Dland on Sunday and had a fun, exhausting day. A secret lunch date was had... I will just have to wait and see the results of that... I will post as soon as I can for that one.

Cam and I are flying up to Canada on Thursday and i am extremely excited for a little break! Karina is graduating, so I am going to see her for that. I can't believe she's graduating, that means I have been out of high school for tooo long! haha I am very proud of her, especially for getting into the CIA (Culinary Institute of America for all those who were confused...)! She is moving to NY in the spring and is off on a fabulous new adventure.
Oh, yesterday I went to my Psych class and my prof said even if I got a zero on the final, I would still get a 4.0 in the class, soooo guess who doesn't have to take her Psych final!? ME!! So nice! 9 days of class, 1 concert, 3 finals, and then I'm done at mt SAC!!!! finally.....

I think that is all for this weekend, all that I can disclose at least...

AHHHH!!!

I hate when timing doesn't work out. Sometimes I am just a brat and want things to go according to my timeline... is that so hard to ask?? Oh well.... I will just have to wait...

Dissections

This is a Dogfish Shark that I dissected in my Bio class! So awesome.
See, these are its babies :) Poor little babies...

Senioritis....

You know in high school in your last semester and you know it's nearing the end and you just kind find the will to get out of your house and actually go to class? Can you have senioritis in college? I'm beginning to think so.... It's my last semester here at the SAC and I honestly have to force myself to go to class... it's so hard!!! I'm a little burned out of this school and am ready to move on to the next part of life... the part that doesn't include so many weird junior college kids who don't even care about school or grades. It's seriously the weirdest thing... Yah, i'm feeling the end nearing and I just want it to be over right now!! bahhhh haha, I have 4 weeks left of class but everyone else is already out, or will be next week!! dang Mt SAC and your weird schedule! What college goes all the way until June 10th and doesn't even get a spring break?? It's seriously crazy. Anyway, I feel like I have taken every single class available at this school... okay that's not true, BUT I have managed to take about 130 units in a mere 3 years, and keep my GPA up there at a 3.8... needless to say, it's been a tiring experience and now that it's almost over it's seriously difficult to want to try anymore lol. BUT i don't want to waste all the hard work I've already done and screw it up in the last semester, sooooo I just have to suck it up and hold out trying for another 4 weeks.

I do like my classes this semester. My marine Biology Lab class is honestly the coolest class I've ever taken!! (this is good considering this is my major... haha) We've dissected a shark (mine had babies in it!!), a sea star, a mussel, a clam, a fish, gone to study tide pools, been on a boat in the ocean at dana point, done otter trawls, plankton tows, seen literally a thousand dolphins swimming alongside our boat, and just learned so much! It's the greatest class of life and I want to keep studying it forever!! The ocean is such a fascinating place, and we honestly know more about the surface of the moon than the bottom of the ocean.... so, that leaves a lot of room for me to discover all sorts of great things. Look out Ocean... haha

I'm at a pretty interesting point of life right now... a pretty big transition once again. I feel like it's graduating high school all over again, you know, so many choices and opportunities... I got accepted to the University of Victoria's Marine Bio Dept, so that's pretty sweet. I'm also going to Australia in July to headline a National Choral convention, I'm singing with people such as Harry Conick Jr, Diane Reeves, and Chick Corea at the September 2010 Monterey Jazz Festival, Singcopation just found out that we won the Downbeat Magazine award for Outstanding college performance which is a huge honour, and I happen to be dating an awesome guy right now. Soooooooooo I just feel like there's so many great things going on and so many possibilities unfolding. I am very grateful for everything I have and am still working on my plans for next year, so stay tuned....

New Home

I am now moved into my new very little home with Reese. We share a one bedroom apartment in Pomona now. Although it's small and I haven't had to share a room in years, I am actually enjoying it. I love that I am only 15 min away from school, and 15 min away from my boyfriend and just closer to all my friends. Not saying I don't miss the lovely Glendale, but this is great also.

I've started going to the gym! dun dun dun... and you know what? I actually like it! Dang, I've only been going for a couple weeks but I can already feel the progress. I run at least mile every time I go and it's getting easier and easier and I can run it faster every time. So, the gym = great, and I never thought I would say that.

What else.... haha my life is hilarious, and exciting, and full of secrets, and I'm happy all the time. Seriously, life could not get any better right now, I am very thankful.

My dad is coming down in 8 days, that is exciting news. He's coming with Beth and Kylee and doing the Disneyland thing and coming to see my final Chamber Singers Concert! Wow, I can't believe it's been 3 years already that I've been down here singing with them. It flew by! It's been one heck of journey but ultimately I have made some great friends and some great memories.

AHHHHHH!!! I hate secrets.

That is all...
