Finals Week...

Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 9:22 a.m.
I can’t believe it is already FINALS WEEK!
Do you understand what that means? That means that I have three days left until my parents arrive for my Graduation from College! That is unbelievable, it doesn’t even feel possible! Of course, I’m going out with a bang…7 finals, I just finished my 4th one today…three more to go…ugh, I know, NEVER take 19 units your Senior Year. The senioritis makes it too hard to focus ☺
This last week we did a Final BBQ for a bunch of our friends, everyone came over and we made steak and potatoes and casserole, it was an actual home-cooked meal! It was lots of fun…messy and lots of dishes…but very worth it.

Anyways…my roommate, Sharon just turned 22 this weekend! So amidst all the final chaos we were able to take a break and celebrate her birthday! It was so fun, we went to TGIFridays and had dinner, then we did cake and gifts later except we are poor college students and didn’t have real candles…so we improvised haha!


Okay…enough procrastinating I have a final at 4 that I need to review for and a few more projects to finish…
Good Luck with last few weeks of school!!!

coming to an end

Oh my goodness! It has been so so so busy! I just took my biology lab practical today, phew! So glad that is over. I think I did pretty well though! Well at least I hope I did I studied all weekend! Haha. Anyways, on to the next big projects, one week left then finals so all the end of the year stuff is due.
I have a World Geography paper due next week that will be my new focus this weekend and I have to turn in my Art Portfolio, now don’t think just because I said “art” that I am good at anything…its all “elementary” so it pretty much looks like I did it when I was in kindergarten haha.
Oh and I have to pick up my graduation cap and gown tomorrow! Its all so real now! CrAzY!??!?!?!
I know that it is important to get everything done, but my roomies and I are making time to enjoy our last few weeks as well. ☺
Me and the a few friends from work went to Bamboozled Left and saw Paramore and Jimmy Eat World and Dear and the Headlights…there were like 120 bands there! It was a music lovers heaven! We had the best time. We totally got stuck in the mash pit for Paramore by accident haha. Almost got crushed but we held our ground ☺ Made it out alive.


My roommates and I are getting all sentimental too, haha. We have been doing so many “family dinners” we all know its ending so we’re getting really sad and hanging out all the time ☺ which we all love!
A few nights ago we went to Chili’s and tonight we did a family fondue night. We had cheese fondue for dinner and of course, chocolate for dessert! So much fun!



Okay, enough distractions, I should get back to my California History Homework…which I must say if you have to take CA history you HAVE to take Professor Lamkin! He is the best professor ever, definitely a worthwhile class.
Okay…you will be hearing from this sentimental senior very soon.
Happy Wednesday!

inbetween the busyness

I did not think that coming back from Spring Break would be so busy! We had a preview weekend last weekend and it was our biggest one in Preview Weekend History! We had about 400 students on campus, it was definitely a busy weekend but so much fun. After working about 20 hours on Thursday and Friday some chill time was very much needed. So a bunch of my friends and I all went out to our spa and hung out for a bit. It was so relaxing. Then we played Mafia for like two hours! It was so funny I haven’t laughed that much in such a long time.


March was super busy for the Admissions office and so now that April is here work should slow down a bit. But April is super busy for homework. I have a couple big papers due this month that I really need to get working on. Plus all those last minute Graduation projects and portfolios to turn in.
But the best thing is that a few friends and I are going to a huge concert this weekend! We are going to see Paramore, New Found Glory, Alkaline Trio, Dear and the Headlights…and bunches more. We are absolutely stoked…stay tuned for pictures!
