School's over!
I can't believe the spring semester is over... I'll admit, it was challenging. But I couldn't have done it without my family and friends' support. I'm really thankful that the guys started a study session at Safeway every night and for being understanding when I couldn't hang out or by telling me to study when I wanted to have fun, lol. Special thanks to Mark for letting me borrow his scientific calculator for Statistics, thanks to John for helping me with Public Speaking, thanks to Brian for giving me a hard time which pushed me harder, thanks to Truth for helping me out with the SJSU stuff, thanks to Jerome Ronald Wilson for being study buddies even though we end up getting distracted, thanks to Sean for helping me out with my green car earlier in the semester. Thank you!! Thank you!! Here are my final grades:
Statistics - C
Public Speaking - B
Human Biology - A
English 1B - B
Stretch and Fitness - A
Now its time for me to prepare for the WST test on June 12th. I have an Orientation on August 10th. All out planning for Beach Day that's coming up on June 25th. Annnd time to job hunt. =)
Note to self: Today is OFFICIALLY DAY #1 for my FITNESS and DIET. Time to get skinny!

Three more weeks of school
Spring 2010 semester went by fast. Reading my previous blogs, I was somewhat intimidated by my classes. Now that I'm nearing the end of the semester, I wish I could go back 4 months ago and slap myself. I enjoyed Statistics, Public Speaking, Human Biology, English 1B, and Stretch&Fitness. If I were to choose the hardest class, it'd be Human Biology. Only because there's soooooo many things to memorize. Public Speaking wasn't that bad. After a while, I stopped getting nervous. Each presentation became less and less nerve-racking (meaning: I was able to sleep the night before my presentations, lol).
Last month, I received a letter stating that my application for SJSU was denied. I was so sad! All because I forgot to put my GPA in the application. So I e-mailed the Admissions Office, and they told me to send my unofficial transcript before April 30th, which is exactly what I did. So right now, I'm waiting for an acceptance letter. I worked really hard these past two semesters just so I could transfer by Fall, and I'm pretty proud of myself nonetheless. As much as I'd love to go to SJSU this Fall, I'm not going to let it bring me down if I see another letter of denial. I proved to myself how far I can push myself and that means a lot to me. I registered for classes at Mission for the Fall just in case I don't get accepted to SJSU. Wow, typing this up sounds sad! On a happier note, I'm receiving my Associates of Arts degree with emphasis in Behavioral Science when this semester is over. I can choose to walk if I wanted to but I'd rather walk for a BA degree. At least now I can put "AA Degree" as my highest level of education obtained on my resumes instead of "High School Diploma," right?
Last month was Mae & Dave's wedding. It was sooooo beautiful =*) I worked on 4 girls: Kristine's hair and makeup, Joy's make-up, one of the flower girls' makeup, and Dave's mom's hair and make-up. April and Amy did a GREAT JOB on the other girls. At 9:00am, everyone was ready =) I'll post pictures up soon once Kristine decides to upload them!

SPRING BREAK!!!1
Just got done with my midterms... crazy week, I tell ya....CrAaazzyy. But somehow I managed to pull through! It's funny how I stress out over the THOUGHT of something and then when the moment arrives, I'm relaxed. Why does my mind have to play tricks on me? Why does my mind gotta play with my emotions like that?
Anyways... I'm excited for spring break! BUT IT SUCKS that I have an essay to write for my English 1B class. What kind of teacher would assign homework on Spring Break?! Does she not understand the term "BREAK"? Geez louise. And not only that, but I need to start exercising. All this staying home, studying, and sitting on my ass all day isn't doing any good for my body. Summer is around the corner and all these girls are coming out wearing summer dresses already. I NEED TO GO SHOPPING! I need to get my hair did because my A-line has grown out and it's not cute. I've decided to sway away from "simplicity" and be a more fashionably bold. By that I mean, be girly, accessorize, reveal more..... I truly don't consider myself a fashionable person, but I think I know enough on what NOT to wear.
Going off topic... Brian's been working out his arms lately....a little too much lately...... hmmm... why is my boyfriend trying to get sexier? AND No... I'm not complaining =)
Gonna end it here. I'll try to blog more during Spring Break.

February
A whole month of school just passed...three more months to go! I forgot to mention in my last blog that I passed my winter class Psychology-Human Growth and Development with a B *smile*
The second weekend of February (aka my birthday weekend), I decided to get three wisdom teeth and one molar extracted in one sitting. They put me to sleep, too. I made this decision because I've been feeling the pressure of the wisdom teeth growing. I was in pain, and I just HAD to get them removed ASAP. I didn't want to be in pain this semester... It sucked because that weekend, I was going to get a tattoo for my birthday. But then I thought, I can always get a tattoo next month. It was a good experience. I was SO scared to get them removed. I remember being sooo nervous while waiting on the chair in the dentist room. I'm thankful that Brian was there for me the whole time....beginning, middle, and end. I'm thankful that Brian took care of me and bought me my Peaches & Cream Oatmeal in the middle of the night when I was hungry. (Brian, if you EVER read this: Thank you for being supportive and patient. I LOVE YOU!)
I'll also talk about my classes that I'm taking so far...
English 1B - My teacher, Mrs. Messershmidt is a really interesting teacher. She seems down-to-earth and happy, but just a little disorganized. Her style of teaching is tremendously different from my teacher last semester, Mr. Brennan. Last semester, I had homework due EVERY WEEK. This semester, I just have easy readings and then we discuss/analyze the reading in class. I haven't had an essay due, yet. I feel fortunate to have Mrs. Messershmidt because she mentioned that she doesn't care about MLA format or length, she only cares about the content....which is good because I'm all about content, too!
Public Speaking - Everytime I enter this class, I get nervous. Not a time goes by where I just want to ditch... but every single time, I find myself thinking "fuck it, I need this class." I don't know why I let this class play mental/emotional games with me. But I've decided that I CHOOSE to learn and grow in this class. The more I practice, the more comfortable I'll be. My first speech is going to be this Monday, March 1st. I'm doing a Speech to Teach and it has to be 5-6 minutes long. I'll be teaching how to make a Turon (Banana Lumpia). My teacher, Mrs. Ensminger, is a great teacher... I can tell she loves her job.
Statistics - So far..... I'm understanding statistics! I especially like how I can learn more about it online (via e-book). My teacher, Mr. Nakahama makes math fun. I'm REALLY glad I chose him.
Human Biology - We just had our first midterm last Friday. I'm taking this class with John John and it's fun!
Overall..... I can already tell that this semester is going to be an enjoyable one. I want to make the most out of it...

January
I'm surprised January went by so fast. I used to keep track of my days...it's weird how time passes by without realizing it. Every time we hit February again (my birthday month), I get this weird feeling...like I should truly take advantage of my young adulthood. Life is so short. It can be taken away from you just like that. It encourages me to appreciate everyone/EVERYTHING in my life.
