On the End of the Year

More Like Post-End of the Year

I have been home for just over a week now and have pretty mixed feelings about it. Not gonna lie, I miss Seattle a lot and this morning it is cloudy and wet here in California and it makes me happy. But then again, I am exstatic to be home. I do have an opportunity to go to washington for the next three weeks and stay with friends and my grandma AND possibly go to summer camp, but I need to stay and continue to look for a job and be with my family. So I will probably miss out on camp counseling this year but that will be ok.

Finals were painful and I gained about 10 pounds in the last two weeks.. I almost decided not to even write my PSYC paper because the prompt was disgustingly difficult and disproportional to the level of the class. Also I was fairly checked out the second half of the quarter and just ready for summer/time off with my family. So I ended up with straight B+'s all across which is fine but I could have done better. And as far as the weight I have decided to not be upset about it and still love my body, yes I am working out and working to be healthy now that I am home but I refuse to put myself down.

I have already gotten a sunburn on my back unfortunately but I am slightly tanner already (not saying much since I am paper white ha). But the beach is just as beautiful as I left it. Also I have already hung out with a few friends from high school and across the board everyone is doing really well and enjoyed their first year of college.

My year in summary goes as follows: A rough start but then I met Aubrey and Izzy. Thats pretty much the best thing I can think of. Sadly Aubrey is leaving us for CSU next year but I wish her very well in her endeavors and Izzy is my roommate next year so I am beyond excited for that!

I apologize for not having one cool thing to talk about, I have been in summer mode so my memory is shotty. But I shall have many interesting posts to come!

Music for Finals

Welp, it is that time of the quarter. Unfortunately I happen to have an extensive amount of finals this quarter, 3 papers as well as 2 final quizzes (noncumulative THANKFULLY) and I just had a final group presentation yesterday which went very well. I feel like this is how college finals are supposed to be but my past teachers didn't do much for finals. Luckily there is a giant prize when I am done, I GET TO GO HOME (,: I miss home so much and have had major home sickness this whole year.

And this summer is going to be amazing, my friends and I are planning a road/camping trip which I am so pumped for. I will hopefully have a job throughout the summer. In particular I am applying for a nanny position that would be perfect. I have all the experience and just in general would love to work with kids but we shall see! Also if I get this job I might be able to still go to my summer camp, if everything works out. The job wouldn't interfere with camp it is just a matter of paying for the plane ticket there and back.

Anyways on to things more important, music. Lately I have been listening to Lorde, a 16 year old New Zealander and she is just amazing. Very calming music and she as a really cool style.

Also Regina Specktor, always

But mostly Lorde.. I don't have a bunch of music to share but I do advise you to look up her EP. Last day of work as well today, slowly everything is wrapping up. Time to get back to my psyc reading, have put it off a little too long today.
