Almost break

Well, it's almost break time! I've been staying on track with readings and homework and i must say, it feeeeels good! I can't wait to get back home and do everything, besides homework. I know I have to work on a research paper during break, but that's not that big of a deal. I just want to get done with all my readings. I've been doing really good in my statistics class, better than I thought I would. :) I might go out with some friends from school later tonight since I don't have class early in the morning! Oh, and I haven't gotten sick....yet!! Well, I hope I don't but who knows. I drink as least one cup of green tea a day, so I'm hoping that is what is keeping me healthy and I'm going to stick to it!

Halloween

So I decided to dress up at Lady GaGa for halloween this year. I bought a wig, i made a hair bow, and sewed it to the wig. Here is the creation:



Took a while to get use to the blonde hair, but I kinda like it!! Maybe in the future I'll dye it.

On another note, Hollyn drove up here for Halloween so I will be meeting up with them later tonight, maybe get pizza??

Studying

I've been studying since 11:30am today. I'm finally taking a long break to prepare dinner which will consist of:
-----Rice-a-roni fried rice
-----Top Ramen Noodles con Tofu
----- Hodgepodge of Veggies. yum.

Last night I had the best beer yet! It was a pear cider beer:


They also make apple and raspberry. Minus the guinness, I've never tried it, don't really want to.
I am still in the progress of getting my halloween costume together and getting a pumpkin so i can carve it and bake the seeds!!! yummy!!

MID-TERMS

Just on a little break from studying for my statistics midterm. So far so good. I like to question things A LOT and work through all the steps so I know what I am doing. I'm half way done with going over material and I'm actually surprised that I am not dreading it. I want to get a good grade so I am going through everything thoroughly. Plus, I love my teacher and he truly cares about the grades we get! He is very motivating and inspirational. Dr. Ben-Zeev told us a story the first day of lecture about a girl who hated everything about math and numbers, but by the end of the semester, the girl got a tattoo of a bell graph and fell in love with statistics!
don't worry mom, NOT planning on doing the same. Back to studying!

Look we made front page! :(

The cutbacks for school....here's an article that follows a SFSU student trying to get classes.
I only have one class that I literally have to fight for a seat in class. If you come late to class, you will be sitting on the counter :(. It's really sad, so much cuts backs, and tuition increases...and all we get is LESS classes, LESS seats in class, OVERCROWDED classrooms, and FURLOUGH days!!

it's starting to scare me.
here is the article:

Homework

Just wanted to updated while I took a short break from homework. I'm reading a book called "Hooked." It follows 3 drug addicts in San Francisco during their ins and out of rehab clinics, up and downs of relapses, and their progress to find on the right path back to a stable life. It's pretty interesting, but it gives me the chills while i read it and brings up some emotions that make me want to cry. But I just put down the book and get a glass of water instead.

I am interested in working with substance abuse and behavior disorder patients, but reading this book is bringing up some second thoughts. I also want to work with children as well.

While back to my studying. I'll be up all night tonight reading, writing papers, more reading and editing papers.


almost forgot, i'm going to try to minor in drama. I've always wanted to try to do some play/acting ever since I was a kid, but never got the chance to. Even during high school i wanted to, but I wasn't placed in drama as an elective because the Drama teacher played favorites!! Grrr. I emailed the director of the drama minor at school and he said to go for it! How motivating! I'm going to start classes next semester, (maybe winter classes) I'm exciting/nervous.

Hey Mom

I said I would scan my first project up here. The only problem was that somehow, on the face of one of these boys, it left spots on his face! :( but the next step would be to sew a thin piece of clear vinyl in the back so it will hold a card.
