Finals week

Next week I don't have any class:)

Next week I have finals:(

I only have to take two:)

I have to stay till friday while others leave on tuesday and wednesday:(

I get to go home in a week:)

I have a lot of mixed emotions about next week. I will have to study really really hard for those two tests, especially bio tech. Plus I have a 10 page essay to write, but I'm half way down with it already so I'll be ok. I'm completely done with English and I turned in my portfolio with all my papers including the last two that she hasn't seen. I worked really hard on them, so we'll see. I'm really looking forward to break; my bday, christmas, new years, snow! it's all very exciting:)

Home...

I just got back from my nine day trip home. It's weird to be back. I love both places so much so I'm trying to be positive and consider my situation a win win, like I'm always someplace I love to be... instead of thinking about how I'm always away from someplace I love to be. It's real hard to be excited to come back here (Cali) tho cause I know I'm just here to study, write three essays, take two tests, and finish a butt load of Spanish homework. It will be two weeks of intense studying. I'm sooooo excited:) I CAN wait to go home in two weeks. It will go too fast because of the tests. A lot of my friends are leaving early next week cause their last test is on Tuesday or Wednesday.. but Noooooo my last test is Friday afternoon! more time to study I guess:) I'll have the room to myself after Suze leaves on Tuesday so I can just focus on Espanol. Me amo espanol, es muy divertido:) Well hopefully something fantabulous will happen or I will do something glorious so I can write again on my blog something other than how sick I am of reading.

Vets Day

A lot of my family and loved ones have or are currently fighting for our country. God bless you all. Thank you all. I love you all.

santa cruz

in santa cruz we ate.
in santa cruz we laid on the sand.
in santa cruz we had the best breakfast burritos in the world.
in santa cruz we protected ourselves from harmful uv rays.
in santa cruz we lost a lot of fooz ball and were forced to jump in the ocean at 2 am.

Catholic?

Coming to this Catholic college I had a lot of preconcieved notions about what these "Jesuits" would think, believe, talk about. I have a few friends that are Catholic, I have Catholic relatives, I've read A LOT of the Bible, and I thought I knew enough to get by. Turns out I was wrong. I thought most, if not all Catholics were pretty conservative on a lot of issues. I thought most, if not all believed in the Bible pretty literally. My Christian Traditions class is taught by a Jesuit, Father Reites. He talks about evolution, the big bang, and how most of the bible has to be read with the context in mind. Not really the uber conservative hermenutics I was expecting, but I like it. This openess is what I have always believed in. I believe in God. I know God is real, proven by the fact that everyone, in different cultures, on different continents, they all have this hole they fill with some sort of religion or diety. I really believe all religions hold a bit of truth, they all point to the same great power. Surprisingly my Jesuit teacher talks about the same thing.

Happy day of the dead!

you feel lucky... punk.
