Me, being the Salinas girl that I am, think that 75 is absolutely summer weather. Well, now that I'm in San Diego county, apparently 80 is SPRING weather. I know, last summer was h-o-t, HOT. I whined and complained when it hit 90, and then died when it stayed 90+ for a month. Well, now that it's "spring" weather and 75-85 everyday, I'm loving it!! This is beautiful weather! I took my winter comforter off my bed (which always makes me happy) and I put on the beautiful, colorful summer comforter that my Grandmo gave me!
After all this talk about nice weather has made my friends here AND back in Salinas decide it's time to start planning out our summer! Considering in July almost all of my friends will be 21, the main thing on the agenda is LAS VEGAS! So, sometime this summer you'll see a post from me about Vegas =]
Another main thing on my mind-- School. This semester isn't one that I need the units from to transfer. I have over 75 units total and you only need 60 to transfer. Why am I still at community college taking classes? Here's why: (it's a looong story, readers beware). When I wen to MPC in Monterey, my first semester there I took 5 classes, 2 of which were online classes. Well, that's when I discovered that I can't do online classes, because I forget about them... whoops. So I had to drop those. So my 2nd semester there was much more successful, I took 5 classes and passed them all! But, when I went to figure out what I need to finish before transferring, I realized that I could either take 22 units in a semester or I could do it in 2 semesters. Well, 2 semesters wasn't an option considering I couldn't STAND living at home anymore. So, I did the 1 semester route. I took 5 VERY HARD classes and passed them all with flying colors!! Except......sigh.....chemistry. Now, I'm not great at science. Why I took chemistry and not Astronomy like all my other friends, I couldn't tell you. Anyway, I was positive that the teacher was speaking French or something, because I had NO clue what he was saying. So I dropped it. Which put me 2 units short of transferring.... But I still can't stand being at home! So I moved to Escondido as planned and just decided I'd take a few classes at the JC here and then transfer in the Spring. WELL, that was right about when California School's decided that they don't want to accept ANY spring transfers.... so I'm stuck here, again. I'm only taking classes to keep my insurance. Which makes it intensely hard to actually want to focus on the classes. Therefore, I am having an incredibly hard time dealing with this semester's work load because I know it doesn't really even COUNT for anything and that's annoying.
On a happier note, I am still going to Connecticut this summer (hopefully!). I just need to scrape up some money, buy a ticket and go! I COULD use some of the money I took out in a loan for Prague, and it's very tempting, but I don't think I'm going to. It has another purpose and that's what I'll use it for. I'll just have to work a lot more!
Bear (Chris) and I just celebrated our 2 year anniversary on March 23, which just so conveniently happened to fall on spring break! So, I went home for the break and hung out with him, also my friends Kaeleigh turned 21 on the 21st. So we hung out, went out for a few beers and played a little pool! All in all, it was a very fun spring break! I was happy to come back to all of my stuff and my bed and such, but not necessarily happy to be back in Escondido. I miss Bear, my family, and my friends. People here just aren't quite as open to new friendships. I've tried to hang out with my co-workers and such but they all were already friends before I moved here sooo I am kind of the left over spare. They all went to high school here and know each other. I dunno. It's just getting really hard to be away from everyone. I know it'll be hard in Prague, but at least I know that once I'm done there I'll be coming back to Salinas and going to CSUMB to be closer to everyone. Plus, I'll be so busy with new and fun stuff that I won't really have time to think about being too homesick! I plan on traveling a lot so hopefully that will keep my mind at ease =]
That's just about it for now, I'll write back later when I have more interesting stuff to say!
