My first week of college

was very exciting. College is so different. It was wierd walking on campus and seeing students smoking, riding skateboards, playing frisbee and doing yoga in the quad. I was like, "Hey you cant smoke at school!" Of course I didn't actually say it...I thought it. There are alot of weird people though...and I mean weird. I thought it was funny on the first day of school a guy was handing out free Bibles. I LOVE college though. I like making my own schedule and that I don't have to go class to class like in high school. Although on Tuesdays I have a 3 hour break between my english and my anthro class, but I just have lunch and then go to the library to study or do my homework. I can actually find things to do between classes and I am starting to make friends in my classes so we walk with each other.

Here is my class schedule:

Mondays and Wednesdays:
Track
Anthro 101

Tuesdays and Thursdays:
Track
Math
English
Anthro 101 Lab (Tuesdays only)

Fridays:
OFF

I like my schedule alot. Tuesdays are the worst but its better than going all 5 days.

Track is so fun. I am sore though from wieght room but I am already stronger now than I ever have been. I think I will improve alot this track season and I am pretty excited to start this coming season. I have practice Monday to Thursday from 8 to like 9am. It is really fun and at first everyone in the class was all quiet but by thursday we are all used to each other and we are all talking now. I hang out with Lariesse, Alicia and Michelo (short for Michelangelo). We are always together mostly because we are the freshman but also because we all have things in common. Practice is alot of fun. Better than Katella for sure.

My last weekend...

So I start school on Monday and I am so nervous. I am kind of scared of the professors...only if they are mean though. I got almost all my books. I only need to get my Writers Resource book for English and I am done. Tommorrow I get my student ID and I hope that my picture doesn't come out all messed up or anything.

So this is my last week of not studying or doing school work. Then Monday I will be studying, reading and writing. Things I don't really like to do...but I have to so I will do them.

I also got the A.S. Benefits sticker which means I get discounts at tons of places. I get special prices for sports events and the bookstore. That is pretty cool.

I want to see Superbad. It looks funny...like stupid funny. If I am allowed to go out this weekend I want to see it.

Summers coming to an end...

Wow...my summer is almost over. I start school on Monday. I am looking forward to it. I seriously can't believe I am already in college. Elizabeth is going to Cypress...why? I don't know. She won't go to Fullerton because her brothers went there and she says alot of people from Katella go there. Which from my perspective alot of Katella students go to either Santa Ana College or Orange Coast. So why Cypress...which is so far away and she doesn't drive...I don't know.

Siobhan starts school in 2 weeks. She says she is not excited about going to kindergarten, but I don't think so. She is going to look cute in her uniform. I can't wait.

Mexico our second day

Our second day was THE best. We went to Ensenada and had lunch at El Meson de Don Fernando (really good food) and then we went down to check on our property. I forgot how crazy the ride is up there. It seriously feels like you are going to fall off the edge of the cliff. It is fun though.

On our way back we stopped at the sand dunes that are next to the hotel and we all went on the quads. It was so fun. I was scared at first but I got the hang of it and I ended up being really good and I was going fast too. I got stuck up the hill because my quad ran out of gas. They had to bring me a new one. It was kind of embarrassing. I told my dad that one of the guys was cute. He was. He had nice eyes too. I really want to buy one so we can do it more. Or we can just do it when we go to Mexico again.

After we went back to Puerto Nuevo and had lobster, rice, beans, salsa, tortillas, guacamole and tortilla soup. It was soo soo good. I loved it. Then Bradley and I went shopping for a little bit of shopping. I bought some candy for Elizabeth and some toffee peanuts too. They were so good. Bargain too. All of that for 7 dollars.

1st day (august 9)

Mexico was so fun. The day after my birthday was mucho fun. I had my first real pina colada and margarita (they were really good), did some swimming with Siobhan and Diego, and had TACOS and TORTAS! Ahhh they were so good...it was so nice to finally get the,. I have been craving them for forever. They were so delicious. I had this really big chile with them and my dad was all complaining that they were hot, but they weren't. I mean I ate a whole one with my torta and my mouth was only a little hot. They weren't. Basically all we did was eat and swim. It was fun though.

My B day

Today I am 18...I am practically a grandma now...haha I was all dead this morning when I woke up. I swear my bones were creaking today. =)

Tomorrow we leave for Mexico and I am pretty excited because we haven't been in over a year and I am looking forward to seeing any changes they have made to the roads, hotels and more. I am soooo happy that I can finally get my tacos from the little taco stand next to the hotel and my lobster...yuuuummmm...so good. I can actually have a pina colada with alcohol because I am legally allowed to drink down there. Pretty cool. I want to go shopping too. There is a braclet that I wanted to get and hopefully they still sell it. It is a wood braclet with the different saints on it. I was going to get it last time, but I didnt have any more money. I also need to get a cross bracelet I am going to get Elizabeth a gift too. I dont know what yet but I will know what to get when I see it.

Siobhan lost another tooth this morning when she was eating breakfast. She was all happy and now she has 2 spaces on her bottom row. She looks cute, but her other tooth is already growing in.

We are going to Mexico on Thursday and dad says I could maybe take Elizabeth and we could get our room if we each pay $25. Of course she probably wont be able to go...but u might as well take a chance.

Im hungry...real hungry. I want tacos from mexico.
