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
