Im gonna start off by saying sorry that I got so bad at keeping up with this, but last quarter all blogs would have said were, "HOMEWORK HOMEWORK HOMEWORK." litterally all I was able to do last quarter was homework:) which is not a bad thing it just meant I had little time for anything else. This quarter was a little better but let me tell you I'm so glad im almost done with it!

School Stuff:
This quarter is almost done, I have two finals to take one on tuesday and one wensday and an essay to write due tuesday and then Im done! so far I have two B's and I dont know my third grade. One of those B's is not gonna stay a B at all because the way that teacher calculated that grade was the current points/total points possible in the class and that was before I took my final, so my grade can only go up!:) like the sound of that. the other B will probably go up also after I take the final but Im not sure how much.

Next Quarter I will be taking is summer quarter. Thats right! Not taking summer off this year:) Im taking American Indian Spirituality, Introduction to Evolution, and English 102. Im pretty excited for it, probably just because I'm sick of these classes I have now and I am ready for a change.

Fall Quarter I already signed up for my classes, General Chemistry & Lab, Earth as an Ecosystem, and Second Year Spanish. Im excited for those classes too!!

I signed up to live in my dorm for the next 12 months, which means I dont have to move out or leave for any of the breaks like other people in dorms do. :) yay! and Im gonna be living with my same roommate that I have now, her name is Kaitlyn Hammond! Shes pretty much the sweetest girl ever.

Other stuff:
For my week break in between spring quarter and summer quarter im flying down to arizona to visit my Mom and Stepdad:) cant wait! its gonna be so warm and relaxing:) and a good break from school to get me ready to go back to do summer quarter.

On a stranger note: I just drank sour milk. It was rather strange, It was the consistancy of a milkshake but sour... Not sure what to think right now. Will it make me sick? I hope not but im already feeling a little.... strange.

I think that is all I have for the moment, I will try to post more now when I think of interesting things to say:)

Halloween already!

Goodness where has time gone??? Today is Halloween!  well I guess I should probably Update everyone on what Ive been up to lately so here I go!

Like I mentioned in the last blog we carved pumpkins:) it was so much fun and the boys made the funniest faces ever! My friend Keelia had come to visit for the weekend and she carved some with us:) here are some pictures of this event!

Here is me and Ahmed carving my pumpkin:)

 Boyfriend Drew on my pumpkin before we started to carve them! hes so cute.

 Here is my pumpkin finished! It says my name in arabic! soooo cool! it was really difficult but i am very proud of it!

 Look at that face! This is Marwan reaching into his pumpkin for the first time! the face says it all!

A couple weekends ago My boys wanted to go to seattle so I packed them all into my car and away we went! It was a lot of fun! Ive never met anyone who took more pictures than I do but these boys take the crown! By everything! "Take a picture of me" haha ok boys.

Last weekend I got to go visit Kyle in Spokane! It was super fun and cant wait to go again! I got to hold a baby all day on saturday and feed it real food for the first time (if you consider refried beens real food) and it fell asleep in my arms twice:) love cuddling with babies. OH and I got to cuddle with Kyles dogs! It was just the best weekend for me. a perfect vacation!

Well I cant think of anything else to write! Except I love my boys! and Ive turned into their Mama! Everything I say or do has turned into "Ok mama" or "Thank you Mama" haha Even my boyfriend calls me Mama. Were like a little family:) its super fun! Hmmm strange i just heard one of my boys laughing next door. think im gonna go investigate;)

PEACE&LOVE



Ooops.

Well, I Will Just start off by appologizing for how long it took me to start writing again! I have had sooooo much homework, and the little free time I have had I have spent at the gym playing volleyball.

I love my New dorm and I love all my classes! Im currently taking Spanish, Latino and Latin American Studies, Diving, and Information Tech 101(IT101). Best part about my new college year is my awesome roommate! we get along so well!

Me and My roommate have made a bunch of Saudi Arabian Guy friends! the other night we were invited to eat Arabic food with them and to talk with them:) Last night I made a few of them Tacos and they Loved it:) and tonight we are gonna carve pumpkins (which they have never even seen). They are such nice guys!

What else is new... Right now I can hear the CWU Drumline Playing in the statium from where I lay here in my bed:) kinda cool! and I am excited, my friend Keelia is coming to spend the weekend with me! I cant wait to show her around my school! and she is bringing her Dog, Maddi... Shhhhhh! haha 

This is our living room.

This is my messy bedroom, the picture was taken when i was still unpacking. dont worry it still looks like that now haha

This is our kitchen! yes i know the fruit is on the stove, it was just an out of the way place to keep it!

This is how we celebrate mass genocide on columbus day... yeah thats columbus with a rope tied around his neck... this made me sooo happy.

Well thats all i can think of right now! ill probably have a lot to say after this weekend with keelia:) right now Im gonna go take a shower and prepare for her arival! yay

Horse Slobber and Thunder

Went horseback riding today with a girl named Becca from my art class. She has Four horses right now, although I only met three of them today. I rode a Gelding named Corona, yes after the beer:) and she rode a Gelding named Mischeif. The third horse I met today is a stallion named... well we kinda just called him Stud. hahaha

Pictures to come soon but I had to take them on my phone and have no way to get them off my phone right now.

My family will enjoy this story, although they have heard it a million times. First we drove to Becca's house to let one of her dogs out and get the saddles, before she opened the door she stoped with her hand on the knob and said "Be prepared he will bark at you." not even a "he might bark at you" He will. So I prepare myself to be barked at by this Chauaua mix. She opens the door and he comes running out and jumps right up on my leg to be petted. not one bark:) and with her look of amazment she goes "I cant believe this, This never happens, he always barks!" haha and all I could do was laugh.

So we finally get all the saddles and blankets, and we arrive at the pasture where she is keeping three of her horses. We get both of them saddled(more like SHE gets them both saddled while I hold their lead ropes) and For some reason Mischeif decided he wanted to lick me EVERYWHERE, and Corona decided he wanted to rub his head ALL over me. So not only did I have a good layer of Horse slobber everywhere, but I also had a Layer of Hair&dirt on top of that! haha I didnt mind at all:) the only down side was that there was a thunderstorm comming so both horses were spooked and didnt wanna listen to us at all. Corona didnt want to trot for me he just wanted to either walk or take off in a canter back around the arena to where Mischeif was tied. Oh well:)

I had so much fun today and Becca Wants to go riding again and baraid all their manes and tails and make them look pretty:)

This girl is my hero, Every animal she has is adopted! Four Horses(she just sold her fifth one yesterday), three dogs, and three cats:)

I am actually kinda sad to go home now:) but in 8 days I will check out from my dorm and Its back to Stanwood for me for the summer! and in about 30 hours Shawn will pick me up and its off to the airport for us! Off to Wisconsin for Alyssa's Graduation from College:)

Well time for bed So I can wake up early To study for my Math test tomorrow!!

PEACE&LOVE

The World of Christina

Here I am again! posting another blog so soon:) here is an update on things happening in the world of Christina.

Classes-
Got signed up for every class I wanted! only had to change one time a little to fit one class in but luckily I was able to fit it in. Next year my schedule will be as follows,

• Spanish 151 at 11:00-11:50 M-F
• Latino&Latin American Studies 102 2:00-4:05pm TuTh
• Information Technology 101 4:00-4:50pm MoWe
• Diving 110 9:00-9:50am TuTh

I'm really excited to start Spanish:) I probably could have started at 251 instead which is 2nd year Spanish, but I thought it would be smart to have a refreasher course.

As for grades! I have my final grade For my Theater class already since there is no class this coming monday, I passed with a 95%!!! :) as for art, iI have a few more quizes and a project still due but right now I have a 91% and it will surely go up after this project seeing how it is only four power point slides long.

I also got myself a few puzzles! and I am of course doing the Tiger one first:) and an update on my finger, for those who dont know I tore a chunk of my finger off with my rasor, it is doing better, finally scabbed over:) haha so gross though:)

And now it is time for me to finish my art project!


PEACE&LOVE

Whew! This Quarter has gone by so fast! I'm not sure if I'm ready for it to be over yet! but here I am again faced with the decision of which classes to sign up for. I met with my counselor today to get an advising hold off my account to be able to sign up for classes tomorrow. She said I was doing great, down a few credits but that is because I dropped the class last quarter. Looked through classes today and think I will take these classes if they are all still open tomorrow when I get to sign up.

Spanish 151 mon-fri 11-11:50am
Latino&Latin American studies 2-4:50pm TuTh
Information Technology 101 2-2:50pm MoWe
Diving 110 9-9:50am TuTh

Well see what happens! Ill post another blog soon! for now it is class time!

PEACE&LOVE

Reading Alyssa's blog made me think maybe I should post one too.

Classes are going great, Im not sure of my grade in math but my Grades in my Art and Theater classes are really good. I have taken 4 quizes in theater, three of them I Scored 10 outta 10 and two of them I scored 9 outta 10. Which puts me at about a 96%! My grade in my Art class is a little more confusing than my theater, but I will give it a good shot.

quiz 1, 88pts+10pts extra credit= 98pts
quiz 2, 92pts
quiz 3, 78pts
quiz 4, 98pts
this gives me a 91%
Since tomorrows lecture is worth another 10 points extra credit, after tomorrow I will have a 94%! wahooo! :)

Well thats about it for happy news, Me and Luis broke up after a year and a half. Life goes on I guess, Had a great weekend. My friend Michael's mom and sister came to visit, and were planning on staying in Michaels dorm room with him and his roommate(which is half the size of my room with only two beds) so I offered them to stay in my room, where I have three extra beds, a shower and a sink. It was soooo much fun! Laughed all weekend together and I fit in with the family sooo well:) His sister is my new best friend even! This is her and me on our way to yakima on saturday.

Thats About all the news for now!

PEACE&LOVE
