New Year, New Rhythm

Well I'm a little late but Cheers!!! to the New Year!! I feel refreshed and ready to take on another year of school, family and fun!! Although I still have 5 months of school I'm starting to prepare for summer as well as school for next year. Its amazing how much I have to do in such little time - its exhausting.

The Holidays were amazing being back home with the whole family and eating until we exploded with a shrimp and steak dinner and my Mom's awesome strata to top it off the next morning. Although we were missing my awesome sister Maggie and her new husband Tommy and baby Ryder. They were truly missed. We kept this Christmas pretty simple with opening gifts on Christmas Eve after the boys a.k.a. Jake and Kai went to bed. We sat by the fire and enjoyed a nice evening of stories and laughter. My New Years was great as well. I met up with 4 friends from evergreen Nina, Avery, Krissy and Pietro. We got an Italian dinner and then went to a new years eve party in Seattle it was great seeing my friends from school because 2 weeks is along time away!! I had a fantastic time dancing and catching up with my friends. Shortly after I had to head back to school being that are school has short breaks.

I started my next quarter at school - same program Hop on Pop. This quarter it is more about music and popular culture live in the world today. I did get a new seminar teacher, his name is Chico and he is extremely cool and down to earth. He is letting our class watch the inauguration this tuesday during class. GO OBAMA!!! Next quarter I'm looking into a program called Learning on the Wild Side which is learning about nature and animals and I think it would be a interesting class to take for my final quarter. I am extra excited about this program I want to take next year called Media Art Works. This class is exactly what I am looking for it is an all year program and I would get the joy to work with my same teacher of Hop on Pop, Julia Zay. The class is all about how to make films and learn all the mechanics of using film editor on the computer. We also would be reading some great novels and making some radical movies!! I'm really hope to get into that class it would really help me with my future job.

I loving my new family of friends at school every day I get to hang out with them and enjoyed their stories and antics. There is a new theme in C dorm and that is Super Smash Brothers on forth floor like almost every night. Its amazing how long boys can play these video games! Not to say i don't get in there once and a while.

Just keep livin' and lovin'

FRISBEE!!!

Here are some pictures of my frisbee team and I at our first frisbee tournement!!!!

ultimate joy <3

Hey yo family and friends just posting up another look on life here at Evergreen. This school is so rocking. I love my roommates and friends and there is always something to do. Halloween just past not to long ago and I dressed up as Samwise Gamgee with my friend who dressed as Frodo Baggins. I made us some awesome cloaks out of curtains from good will. We looked pretty sick if I do say so myself. There was a party at my friends Hobb's house where there was good music and tons of dancing. It was a great night and everyone costumes were so interesting. Other then Halloween I have been just hanging out at the mods with friends and over at C dorm where we color cool pictures,knit hats and play rock band!!!! Also me and my friends from C dorm are working on making a board game about are life at evergreen it is going to be extremely fun.
Not to mention I had my first Frisbee tournament last weekend in Burlington, Washington it was so much fun. We only won one game, but it was our first game as a team and we only had two subs because this is the first year we have an all girl's team. The boys had a rough weekend as well only winning one game. All 28 of us stayed at Levi's house thanks to his mom generosity. We played six games four on Saturday and two on Sunday. It was a great weekend because our team bonded a lot and now i love playing ultimate Frisbee. I also excited to improve before our next tournament.
School has also been going extremely well. As of now we our heading into our final weeks of this quarter. We are finishing up our final projects and watching people present their projects. I'm doing my project with my friend McCall and it is about the celebrity lifestyle and how that relates to Karl Marx theory of popular culture. It is really interesting mixing popular culture of today to theorist ideas from the past.
just keep livin and lovin
