Yes I have aquired a new Obsession... Its a show called Ghost Adventures. I now spend all my free time watching it and even watch ones I have already seen because I like them so much... its really really interesting. The show starts off with the history of the place they are going to investigate, places like The USS Hornet, an old spanish Mission, and some old insane Hospitals. Then they interview people who have had experiences in the places, and get locked in (litterally) all night long. Really freaky but super cool.
An update on school... well there is not much to say except that I have a take home essay due next thursday. And have to start writing my final paper for The Minority experience class.
Finally got my aunts old phone, because mine is freaking out, she paid for two day shipping and I got it 20 days later... hmmmm I really dont know how that happened.
I signed up for my classes for next quarter! Here is my schedule
Monday-Friday 11:00-11:50am Art 101
Monday-Friday 1:00-1:50am Math 101
Monday 6:30-9:50pm Theater 101
and im also taking something called dance fusion but the date time and place is TBA so Im not sure when and where yet
Im pretty excited, art and theater are for breadth requirements but they are for the same requirement so only one really counts but I really wanna do them both... :) Im happy.
Thats all for now!
PEACE&LOVE

BREAKING POINT
Lit me just start off by saying this is gonna be a tough blog so if you dont wanna hear my wineing feel free not to read this one.
Yes today was my breaking point. Literally. Here are my reasons.
1.The really hard test (that I talked about in my previously blog)
2.I am super sick and its not getting better. The worse part is this cough... it wakes me up at night so...
3.Woke up really really tired today.
4.My AIS teachers also said they are going to over compansate in the other tests because we all did so poorly.
5.I have a group project in AIS and i found out that 2 of my group mates(there is only 4 people in the group including me) dropped out of the class. When I asked my teacher what I can do he said "lets wait and see if some others drop out and ill probably put you in that group" which stresses me out because he told us to start researching so all the information is not gone and we can get articles from other libraries if we need it... so Im sutck waiting to see what happens.
6.I have a test on tuesday, with an essay that i will get on friday and it will be due on tuesday with the test. Today I went in before class and asked if there was any way I could get it early so I could get the essay done before I went home, but he said that he couldnt get it online until thursday night... um really? and then he said the best he could do was to let me turn it in a day late... well I guess thats better than nothing.
7.I got seriously pounded on in water polo today. got swam over, hit over and over and over again in the same part of my arm when someone wanted the ball that I had, and got kicked a few times in the stomach. When i got out I just sat in the locker room in my suit for 20 min before getting the energy to get dressed...
8.When I got out to my car i had a PARKING TICKET. For "not having a parking pass" which was total bs because I HAVE ONE!!!! So I went to the parking office, took my parking pass in with me and here is how it played out... walked in and put my parking ticket and my parking pass down on the counter and said "I got this(ticket), I have this(parking pass)" and thats all I could really say at that point. She had me fill out a paper to apeal the ticket and I gave it to her and she was confident that i would get it appealed with no problem because they would give them prouf that I have a pass. I left feeling a little better until...
9.IN THE 5 MIN I WAS FILLING OUT THAT PAPER I GOT ANOTHER PARKING TICKET. because i took my pass into the office with me...This was my breaking point. I grabbed the new ticket off my window, put my pass in my window, walked back into the office and almost threw the ticket at the lady and said "Here you can just have this back" and burst into tears. poor girl. she had me fill out another paper and wrote on it that she saw that I had my pass in the office with me. gah! At this point I got back to my car, broke down sobbing again, called luis and poor guy had to talk to me like that... until I called Grandma and she made me feel better.
And here is where my day started to turn around.
After I calmed down a bit, I went to the Library to try and get some work done. I had just gotten there and got my computer all set up when I remembered I had to go meet with my advisor to get the hold off my acount so I can sign up for my classes and sign up for what room I want next year... so back out to my car again (no ticket this time thank the Lord) and I was off to Hertz hall to meet with Lisa. I walked in and the first thing she asked me was "How are you doing?" bless her heart, Im sure she wasnt ready for my answer but she wanted to hear it so I told her. Everything. Well a long story short she said I had way too much on my plate withall my classes and my sickness... she told me she thought I should drop the class that was making me "bleed" the most, that was causing me the most pain. after talking to her for about 30 min we decided that that was my Latino & Latin American Studies class, and she told me to take the next couple days to think about dropping that class. She told me it wont hurt me because I am not currently getting financial aid. I thought about it for about 30 sec and realized that thats what needed to happen. She went on saying that I shouldnt feel bad about it and it doesnt mean I failed, its smarter to take a withdraw than take a Fail and screw up my Gpa. So I did it. I dropped the class. and i feel so much better. like im not going to fail all my classes now. I feel like I have a handle on my life. In no way do i feel like I have failed. I feel like I took control of my life.
So all in all I feel better now. When I woke up today I had no idea that I would End up doing all the things I would today... but in the end im still alive and thats all that really matters.
PEACE&LOVE

Lots has happened...
Well lots has happened in the time that I havent written a blog... sorry but my life has gone from relaxation to complete caos. Warning:this post is going to be extremely long seeing as it will be covering the last four weeks I believe.
The first weekend was the weekend of Kaelee's birthday party, which if I am remembering right was on saturday the 15th. My friend Emily Maywood(not my roommate) made a surprise visit to my dorm on friday! We had fun that night and we attended Kaelee's b-day party on saturday. When we arrived back at my dorm around 6:50 I got a call from Luis that said come let him in... another surprise visit! I guess I was just a popular person that weekend. Emily was headed home that night so I spent the rest of the day and most of Sunday with Luis.
The next Weekend starting friday through that Sunday Luis again decided to come visit only this time for a reason. As he put it "its our first Monthaversery(we celebrate the day we started dating every month, usually this just means we try to hang out but this month it was different because...) of the new year!" haha it was really cute because he brought me a rose and a really cute card... my first card from him:)
The weekend of the 28th of January through the 30th, Emily (my roommate) decided she wanted to go shopping in yakima. So we took a full day trip and just hung out together all day long! So much fun and the first time we have just hung out like that.
This weekend was also interesting. Luis decided to make another appearence only this time he came on Wensday and left today. That is one of the longest times he has come. he didnt like it very much that I had to do my homework while he was here which also required me to be in the liberary, and him too. On Thursday he went to my classes with me... I thought it was good for him but he really hated it and made it very clear to me it was the most boring thing to just sit there for two 50 min classes. And my reply? "I do this every day." On Saturdday we went to Look at the elk, which was a little dissapointing because they were up on the hill far away. On Saturday We went to look for apartments in yakima because Luis is moving there to go to YVCC. We found many nice expencive ones and many cheap falling apart ones, and we found one really good one. It is right accross the streat from the College, and it is two bedrooms for $575 per month. Which is really good since he has someone who wants to move and go there with him so they would only pay like $290 each. which he thinks is really good. We also went to look at the Elk that are up on the way to White Pass close to Yakima. And we saw tons!!!! here are a few pictures!
A baby and mommy:)
Some big boys!!!

Well Luis loved this a lot.
Now for the bad news.... I probably failed my midterm... and there is nothing I could do about it. The way this midterm worked was it was available online on saturday. Onced we opened it we had only 90 min to finish it and submit it. there were 5 short answer questions (200-250 words each) and one essay question (750-1000 words) not only could I barley write 200 words for each short answer but After I did those there was no time for the essay. I ended up submitting it with out answering that question which was 50 pts of 100. then I emailed my professor to see if there was anything i could to to make it up or get a better grade and he told me to retake it and try for the essay first because apperently I "didnt leave myself enough time for the essay". So i tried for that first when I retook it and there was no way I could even Get 750 words on that topic let alone in the time given... So again i emailed him to see if there was any way to use both test, because at least if he graded them both I think I would barely pass... long and hard lesson to learn... hopefully something comes along and i pass the test... or at least the class.
Thats enough of my ranting...

New housing assignments!
Me and Emily are hoping to room together next year! CWU Choses new housing for the next year in febuary!!! The way they do it is they give everybody a lottery number and you get to chose what room you want in order of your number. And if you know who you wanna room with you can reserve their "bed" in your room. Which is a very good thing for Emily since she got a very large number. To get our lottery numbers me and Emily called the housing help line and she told us our numbers. Here was what she said when I asked what my number was, "Oooo you have a very good number! Its 190, and the day and time you can chose is 2/23/11 at 9:34am!" and when Emily asked what hers was the lady said, "Uh oh... yours is 2326... soooo it looks like Christina will be saving you a spot." hahahaha good thing we were planning on rooming together anyways! or she wouldnt get into any room she wanted.
We already decided we want to live in a dorm called Wahle(said like wall) and no i didnt spell it wrong. It is a three person suite with its own kitchen! and bath tub! so I would finally have an oven!!! and stove... i could make homemade tortillas every day of my life!!!! totally excited!
well back to my homework!
PEACE&LOVE

Relaxing a little.
Feeling way better about my homework load now. I still have lots but I feel like I can get it done now.
My phone is acting really crazy, it wont send texts half the time, and does really freaky things when i try to cancel the text or pick who i wanna send it too. Also some times when people try to call me they just hear a loud noise and no ringing, and when the call does go through i can barely hear the person because there is a loud noise on my end. sorry if anyone is trying to contact me and i dont respond, Im not ignoring you on purpose!
Well I guess I should get back to my homework!
