There are so many tests and papers ALL THE TIME!

Haha, it's that time of year again.  I'm the silly person who is taking a communication major and dislikes writing papers.  Then again, I dislike math and science even more, so this seems like the most practical way out of schooling.

We had spring break a couple of weeks ago...and I went home!  It was an epic trip filled with...sleep and family and friends!  This may seem lame coming from a college kid so close to the border (and Cabo), but relaxation is great!  Maybe I'm just an old woman trapped in a teenager's body, but boy was I happy to see rain and mom's cooking!  I have said this before and I will say it again:  I never thought I could miss weather so much.  But, after a week of straight rain, it was back to San Diego.  This time, the weather was in the 80s!  Which turned out to be great since we brought a friend from KC back with us!

I'm not sure how I managed to have a blast with her AND go to every class...but it happened!  My sister and I even took her up to LA for a day trip last Thursday!  We went to Coronado with her, Old Town, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, Los Angeles, and GROCERY SHOPPING!  Haha, she loved the campus--who wouldn't--and laid out by the pool with my roommate for a few hours even!  The weather was so beautiful that for every test we had to study for, we studied outside and got TAN!  My skin is so happy with me!!

My friend left on Friday morning (at 4 am) but mind you, the fun didn't stop there!  Heck, the fun never stops!  Man, do I sound cheesy!  But seriously, for every crappy paper or test, there is something relaxing and/or fun to balance it out.  Friday I got to NAP, and then the comedian Daniel Tosh played a show on campus!  I ran to McDonalds with my sister for filet o fish (of course i go for the crappiest seafood in California, but it was fish friday and I overslept :)) then drove up to campus for the show.  We got there REALLY early, but unfortunately I managed to lose my ticket IN THE CAR between the entrance to school and my perfect parking spot.  I spent almost half an hour looking for it.  The entire time it was wedged underneath a car mat between my seat and the middle console...but at least I found it!  Afterwards, it was late enough that I went back to my room and watched American History X with my roommate (which I had never seen before).  WATCH IT!  It is AMAZING!

Saturday was nice.  We had a sophomore pool party at the pool (duh) with music and pizza galore (the pizzas were GIANT).  I spent half the day outside, and half the day inside doing homework WISHING I was outside.  Good thing most of my homework consisted of critiquing movies otherwise I don't know how I would have survived.

Sunday was initiation for my sorority almost all day...which was actually kind of cool.  I've only seen it from the point of view of being initiated, so it was nice to see it from the planning side.  That night, we had BIG/LITTLE reveal!  All last week, I gave presents to my little and she had to guess who I was basically with the clues that I gave her every day.  She did not even read my last clue, she just walked up to me!  I was so excited because I gave her the best present on that day:  an apron I made myself with lace and a heart pocket!  She loves to bake, and so do I, so I can't wait to bake with her!  And my big splurged and got Juicy Couture initial necklaces for all three of us!  So thoughtful!  And of course, what day would be complete without a little frozen yogurt?  I had some yummy sorbet with fruit...it was PERFECT!

This week is Greek Week.  Every sorority and fraternity pairs up and at the end of the week we have skits (short dance routines) in a competition against each other!  Last year, my sorority won, and we are ready for total domination again this year!  I can only make it to a few practices, but I am PUMPED!  I'm especially excited because my mom will be here to see me!  It's mom's weekend this weekend for my sorority!  So, yes, I have a ton of homework.  But, no, I'm not paying attention to it quite yet.  Like I said before...I'm happy with the major I've chosen!

Sooooooo

Hi Guys!

Sooooo, SPRING BREAK is right around the corner!  Like, literally!  I have 2 classes tomorrow then I'm headin' home!  A lot of people are going to Cabo and such, but I miss home enough to go back for a week!  I already have interviews set up, and I will be turning in applications for every job I can.  And of course enjoying the snow and family and friends.

A lot has gone on lately, as usual.  I went to a fundraiser for Haiti that a fraternity and sorority put on.  It was called "Cowtown Throwdown" and it was a farm themed dance/carnival.  It was quite a bit of fun!  I, of course, have pictures!  I went with my twin sister and 2 of my roommates!  I also went to a party the other night at my friend's house at the beach.  We literally got there and turned back around because it was raining so much!  I wore my rain boots and shorts, hahahaha.

The stress in the past 24 hours has been due to HOUSE HUNTING.  Apparently, we have the OK from my parents to move into a house on the beach, but we (my sister and I) are trying to decide between a 2 person underneath a 6 person house OR a 3 bedroom house that we could have 4 people in.  Our dilemma is if anyone else would be interested in the house, and if anyone would fill in after my sister and I move out first semester (just one semester left and I'm FINISHED!)

So, with that stress, and my packing and cleaning tonight (for RA check-in) I'm delighted to head home!  I will be doing tons of sorority and schoolwork, but it will be a nice change of pace!  Feel free to get a hold of me and ask questions whenever you'd like!  I've been corresponding with a few of you, and I can't wait to see you in the fall!
