Interesting fact of the day.

Iteresting fact of the day #1

At one point, Africa and North America were coliding on the eastern coast. that is where the Appalachian Mountains came from. but any of you that know where the Appalachian Mountains are not close to the coast. That is because when Africa and North America decided they wanted to go opposite directions, we stole some of Africa. And where is that stolen part of Africa? Deep in the south.

Visiters!!!

I Had visiters today!!! my grandma, grandpa and tapanga!! im so glad they came because i missed them soooo much!!! we went out to lunch and then just drove around the back farm roads:) it was so conforting:)

well im almost done with my cross stitching project!! i think one more day will do it! yay!

today in my AIS class my teacher taught us the same lesson exactly as my geology teacher did yesterday. i even got my notes out from that geology lesson. the only difference was my geology teacher explained it better!!! a little bit of a waste of time for me.. but oh well.

I cant wait for this weekend! Luis and his Mom are coming!!! well his mom said she was gonna come. but it would be just like her to change her mind at the last second. but hes coming:) i cant wait!! now it would be perfect if he could just smuggle Coffee in his suitcase all the way here:) but i know thats not gonna happen. i still look forward to seeing him:)

PEACE&LOVE

Wet Hair... and Chlorine.

The first day of swim class went awesome!! i almost finished the whole workout. i would have except our coach stopped us to do a time test to see how much we improve over the course of the ten weeks. i swam 150 yards in 2 min. i dont know how i can improve that lol... but i guess maybe i can get one more 25 in there. all together i swam 1500 yards in 45 min. not bad at all.

the only thing weird about this practice was there were no lane lines so we had to just swim and hope we didnt run over anyone. me and the person next to me are hoping to circle swim together next time. 

and after i got out my coach asked me how the workout was! she told me she wrote it specifically for me because she knew i was worried about maybe being too advanced for their workouts! and it worked perfectly! im starting to really love her! i cant wait to get in the pool on thursday! anyways i should probably go eat an actual lunch! i had a snack before i went but its lunchtime now! and i think im gonna do some cross stitching! im almmost done with a project i have been working on for a while! here is a picture of it!

PEACE&LOVE

New Friend!!!

so i met a new friend in Geology!! i dont know if ive mentioned him yet! his name is John Chen. I just found out that he chose the name John when he came here! so we wouldnt try to pronounce his real name. haha smart boy! we would all butcher it probably!

i sat with his friends today for dinner! it was cool! and i also learned a new word! Sin Chao. it means hello! i said it to them and they all got really happy and told me i pronounced it perfect with a perfect accent which made me happy. :)

i also found out today that Luis might come visit me next weekend!!! i can hardly wait! I miss him! and his family.. and Coffee(his pitbull)!! he sent me a picture of Coffee... i wish he could bring him with when he comes to visit but it wouldnt be a good idea... man i miss that dog.

well now i need to go finish reading a chapter in my archeaology book for american indian studdies. i think this class will be interesting eventually but right now... wow its boring...

PEACE&LOVE

Freshman 15. Myth or Truth?

i now see why everyone gets the "freshman 15". and its not because of the school food!! its because all there is to do in our dorms is eat! so what do we do all day??? eat! and i think i have probably already gained the dreaded 15... haha so much for all that lost weight in spain! im gonna have to start climing the rock wall everyday!! i now just need to find someone to go with! :)

Settling Down

today i found out the hard way that i cant park out in front of my dorm. appperently from 2am to 6am there is no parking in the dorm parking outside of munson. now that thats all figured out ill have to walk about a mile to get to my car. lame.

yesterday i went to my first swim class. which was more like "sit there for 15 min class" then leave. i was really looking forward to swimming. oh well ill just have to wait for next tuesday. ill make it. my other classes are good also. actually its really interesting im kinda learning the same thing in both my geology class and my American Indian Studdies(AIS), because one of my AIS teachers is an archaeologist.

since today is Native American day, me and Emily watched Pocahontas. now im thinking about either taking a really long shower, or sleeping. man im such a good kid. haha but there is nothing else to do in this town except party and shop at fredmeyer... i miss walmart!!!! and it gets dark here really early!! like 7:00!! not cool! and it has rained every day since i got here!

well here starts the first weekend here with nothing to do. ill let you know how it goes!

PEACE&LOVE

Classes!!

classes went great today. i had geology first today, and i found out that i had to buy another book. but it was only 7 dollars so its all good. and i love my teacher. he flat out told us that he had our class of 60 people pegged. he said 20 of us are amazing students and will ace everything and teach themselves, 20 of us are just waiting for someone to get them excited and pull them into the topic(he said that was who he was pitching the class too) and the last 20 people shouldnt be here, dont wanna be here and would do more good back home working on the farm. he is my new favorite person.

my American Indian Studies class went well too. i actually have two teachers for it. an archetect(sp) and a native american herself. this is gonna be so interesting because they have such different view points. anyways all went good today and after i ate at the surc (Student Union and Recreation Center) i came back to my dorm and slept for four hours. i didnt even know i was tired! i slept this morning till i couldnt sleep anymore! anyways all is good here, now im gonna go watch some csi miami.

PEACE & LOVE

this is my space. its kinda messy but it looks better now.

this is one of the new posters i bought today!!

Flood!!!

so yesterday i had to go to a bunch of required classes that were only like 45 min long. so not too bad except when we got out of the last class at 3:45 it had poured obviously the whole time, which was a surprise since when we went into the class it was sunny. i was supposed to drive to yakima to meet my aunt and uncle at claires to get my ear pierced, the big problem though was when i got to the parking lot that my car was at the whole thing was flooded. my car was in a spot that was slightly raised, thank the lord. the water only came up to the bottem of my car. there was a Ford Explorer though that the water came up to the bottem of the door... so my car would have been in big trouble. but i got out fine and got to the mall right on time and got my ear pierched.



 and today we had kinda the same classes, and again weird weather. but this time it was really sunny and raining at the same time!! blew our minds. there was also a poster sale today and i got two amazing posters of Christiano Ronaldo and David Beckham. for those of you that dont know they are soccer players. really good ones:)

well no i am going to make myself some food. maybe a pb sandwich. mmmm...

Peace & Love

CRAZY!!!!

Man, moving in has been soooo crazy!! but i love my roommate, Emily. we get along so well and have so much in common.

On the 17th my aunt and uncle helped me move in and we made a big long list of things i needed to buy at Fredmeyer. and after two hours in Fredmeyer i was so ready to just go back and sleep. But Emily had arrived and i got to know her. we're still organizing, and Elyse isnt going to be back in our room with us untill tomorrow. so far me and Emily pretty much have everything worked out and have had no problems with anything. but we might have to change everything around once Elyse gets back. it probably would have been nicer of her to stay and help us but oh well were getting everything pretty much worked out for now. 

today auntie sue and uncle jon and me went to lunch with Grandma Loretta and Grandpa Ernie, and then they came and saw my room. after they left we went looking around ellensburg. i want to get my cartlege pierced so we went looking for a place to do that, that is not too expencive. we will be going to claire's tomorrow to do that. Then we made another Fredmeyer run. hopefully the last one for a while. i love it here so far.. i miss home and Luis. but its going to be alright here i think. at least i know a couple people and Emily is awesome.

well plan for tomorrow is to go to a bunch of required classes and then go get my ear pierced. hopefully i can find someone to drive with me to yakima. well see though.

Peace and love for now

Last Night Home

tomorrow is the day we leave, and today has been a crazy packing day. its kinda really sinking in that tonight is the last night i spend in my bed for a while... i cant stop just sitting here and staring at Butch as he runs in his wheel and around his cage... im going to miss him like crazy. and i also had a sad goodbye with Coffee, luis' dog. he is my favorite animal i have ever met, and thats saying something.

tomorrow we leave and im going to be driving my car packed with a bunch of stuff, and Uncle Jon and Auntie Sue will be driving his truck packed with stuff. im almost done packing i still have a few things, like my shoes, my computer, my ducktape and some books, to pack and some big things like my tv and playstation, and movies. 

i will also be doing my thank you cards tomorrow. if anyone thinks i forgot them... NOT TRUE!!! sorry just been busy and didnt have my senior pictures. if anyone wants one of my senior pictures call my aunt and tell her what you want and she will print you out whatever size you want.

thats it for tonight, got to get back to packing, and get some sleep since i will be driving lots tomorrow. Peace and Love 

New Jeans!!!

so today i did lots of shopping with my aunt. got lots of new jeans and almost all the supplys i will need for like, laundry and in my bathroom. i also got a floor lamp, its pretty awesome! i cant wait to move in!

i also had an appointment for my oral sergery. that is taking place december 13th. i have to go in this week to get a 360 degree x-ray of my teeth. because they dont know where my extra pre moler is coming in. its in a random spot down in the front on the bottom. but they dont know if its in front of my teeth or behind them. thank the lord they are not just going digging for it! lol

I texted my roommate Emily for a long time today! she knows lots of people going to central from her school! hopefully ill make friends fast! lol and neither she nor Elyse are bringing their cars so it looks like ill be driving them around a lot... hopefully that means i wont have to pay for much gas!

well thats all i can think of right now!  peace and love!

Well Here Goes...

well here is my first post... not quite sure what im doing but im gonna try to post my experiences in college for my family. ive seen how my family follows my cuz Alyssa and my cuz Nikkis blogs and i have hopes that maybe they wanna follow mine.

so im going to central. im living in a dorm called Munson, its on south campus. i am rooming with two other people in a three person suite. which means i only have to share a bathroom with two other people not my whole floor!! yay! My two roommates names are Emily Jenson and Elyse Fike. Emily is from Shoreline and Elyse is from Cashmere! i know right? crazy. she was telling me how people still remember me as "that girl in the white house on the corner!" thats me. its nice to have something in common before i get there.

well i can move into my dorm on the 17th of this month. so were going over on the 16th and spending the night so we dont have to wake up early on the 17th. which means i leave in... three days... wow time is flying by.

so tomorrow i am going shopping with auntie sue to buy things for college that i will need. i already have my towls, sheets, confortor, cups, notebooks, and my new voice recorder. but i need all new bathroom stuff so i wont have to pack it from home to school everytime. and hopefully some new jeans... not many of mine still fit. i will also be getting new tires tomorrow since i will be going over the pass a lot.

well i think this is enough for my first blog. ill work on updating everyone on how College Life is going. peace and love
