Spring 2011

So I'm taking five classes again this semester and three of them are six hours long. It has only been two weeks and im warn out. I think that part of my fatigue is from going to the gym, pool, and dance class every day after class until 8 or 9. Layla and i have now got it worked out to what dance classes we do and do not want to go to, so hopefully i will have more relaxing time. If Nathan will let me relax lol. I'm planning on doing up to four pieces in the dance show this year. I will definately be doing the glee and and modern dances. I will also do a zumba dance if the classs partakes in the show. But most exciting is i might do my first solo. I need to find some music to dance to. I am thinking something composed by danny elfman but its still up in the air. if you have any suggestions let me know. I'm also hoping to make my own costumes in the show! I've got myself a busy schedule!

Best Friends

 So i recently entered a new relationship. What is the first thing my closest friends all want to do.... Interrogate to poor guy of coarse! One of my best friends in texas friended him on facebook and has been sending him messages with several questions for him to answer. I told my boyfriend he did not have to friend her or answer any of her questions, but he did and he went into pretty good detail while answering them. So thats over and then he gets to meet my two best friends here in San Francisco. Nicki was super nice... Phil played my big brother. When he found it too hard to pick on My boyfriend because he was too nice, Phil turned to completely embarrassing me. I have decided my best friends are crazy... I am too so i guess that answered why we are so close hahaha... Hopefully it doesnt start to get on my boyfriend's nerves lol.

Recycled Island

CAn you imagine living on a island similar in size to hawaii, only instead of being made by a volcano... it is actually made from recycled plastic that has been floating in the ocean for years. There is a currant proposal out that is working to make this island a reality. I read about it in a dive magazine that directed me to http://recycledisland.com to find out more. I think its a great idea. the island is designed to be completely self sufficient. There will be an urban center and the rest will be agriculture based. Its energy will come from the sun and waves. The island is thought to be created in the pacific where the highest concentration of plastic is. It would float approximately between hawaii and san francisco. The web sight does not say much about the threats of hurricanes, which to me seems like the biggest down fall to a floating island. But because it is floating in the middle of the ocean... tsunamis should never me an issue. I wonder if they would have an emergency boat of some sort that could drag the island out of the path of a hurricane, but then i dont know. It is still in its beginning stages, but i have been inspired my the idea. I think it would be an awesome place to live.

Split Rock

I love cactuses! In my tiny little apartment i have a pot with four different cactuses growing in it. This morning i woke to find my favorite one, the split rock, completely withered up. I immediately gave it more water. Then i looked on line and realized i had actually over watered. it. I am very sad, it was so cute. I'm hoping that if i leave it maybe it will grow back... We will see I'm leaving for the weekend today so at least i'll get away from it. Im also wondering if its not getting enough sunlight in this foggy city. The flowers  on one of my other cactuses are no longer blooming... Its so sad. Maybe i would have been better off with an orchid... I just didn't want it to die when i go home for winter and summer breaks, but apparently cactuses can die overnight =(

The End

SUmmer school is done I turned in my final project this morning and my final essay this afternoon. How good does it feel to get to relax a little bit before the fall semester starts, but o wait i'm not relaxing... hmmm why is there always so much to do

...Dreams...

Anyone who knows me will tell you I can be a bit crazy. If you haven't figured that already you about to just in the dreams i have... Last night i had a particularly realistic dream that i remembered. Usually i can't remember anything but crazy colors and artwork in some strange world that the only way i can describe is it is similar to tim burtan's alice and wonder land, but not at all. Anyway, last night i had just hopped on a plane home like i am supposed to thursday and me and my family then proceeded to take a vacation to Idaho. There we hiked around and found an awesome shopping center that was similar to garden ridge, but awesomer stuff. we bought a plethora of things and packed them in the rental car. Our next stop was a swiming hole that they decided to turn into an ice rink while we were there. They had some insane super fast freexing thing that made it happen in a matter of minutes. I convinced the workers to let me attempt to drive the zambonie. while i was doing that, my dad met a guy interested in giving him a job. this guy was looking to hire a team of people and they were all attending a dinner party he was throwing that night. So we were invited to attend.

So we get to this party and it turns out to be this giant to do with all friends and family plus all the potential workers. Everyone is supper dressed up because its supper fancy. And i didn't have anything appropriate to wear me and my family had to borrow clothing from the family of my dads potential employer.  Then out of the blue i find out that the future employer of my dad is in fact my x-boyfriend's dad which didn't make since because he is an optometrist and my dad is an engineer. Anyway I know my X is somewhere around and i want to say hi because we are on good terms and it would be bad if i didn't say hi but i keep meeting all these random people. Finally I see my x, but his brother comes out with a microphone and a guitar and sings a proposal to his girlfriend. She says yes and suggests since everyone is here now they should get married immediately. so all of a sudden the dinner is turned into a wedding ceremony and reception. A Paster rushed over with the proper wedding attire for the people in the ceremony. Because apparently they had some weird tradition i have never heard of or  seen before. everyone in the ceremony wore in these black and white dominican robes but i was in this pale green and coral gown and accidently go pushed into this ceremony parade thing with all these dominican dress people. I completely stood out and had no idea what i was doing it was so embarrassing. Luckily everyone was cool with my mistake and just laughed at it.

finally it was all over. People began to leave and it was just the potential future employes that were left behind. I helped a handful of people that had stayed behind to clean up from the extravagant party. A guy i had met and talked to during the dinner party came up to me and said his friend had painted me something. he unrolled the poster board in his hand to reveal a sign painted in coral and pale green( to match me i guess) and asking me to dinner with him tomorrow.It was signed by "the other guy". I immediately asked who the other guy was and the guy that game the the poster said the other guy that was with me when were were talking but was to shy to ever actually introduce himself. He pointed at a cute guy in the group of potential employers that had now apparently had been reduced to who would actually be hired. He was the youngest guy in the group and resembled  a mix of features between sidney crosby and james neal (my two favorite hockey players). I knew he was probably a tad too old but i figured i would get to know him.

everything went black. I was then laying in bed my bottom lip was sore. I couldn't figure out why. Maybe it was a pimple... I reached to the nightstand and grabbed my hand mirror to see, but in the reflection it wasn't me it was one of the arrogant baseball players from my school and he had a bruise just below his lip from what i assumed to be a baseball. I screamed and woke up for real

Celery

So I am currently working on my finals for my summer classes and when i take little breaks between massive amounts of work. I eat. So this evening after getting back from a long day in the knitting machine lab i decided and munch on some celery. Then it hit me. I have never seen a celery field. Florida is known for their oranges. California has avocados and tons of other fruits. I've seen cornstalks growing all over the midwest... so where are all the celery fields? if anyone knows please share otherwise i will look at is as just another one of those mysteries like... is elvis really dead?? Ha. For the record I believe he is dead. Anyways i'm going back to illustrating my knitwear collection to turn in tuesday
