My Life

Yes....I know I'm very bad at posting on this, but in my defense I'm not that interesting.

SoOoOoO...here's some stuff I've been up to:

A couple weeks ago I went to Santa Cruz to visit a friend of a friend (who is my friend, I just know her through my friend at sonoma) to celebrate her 21st birthday. It was the weekend after Mardi Gras so it was also themed that. We had a good time, and it turns out bars in Santa Cruz are a lot like the ones in Sonoma. We also spent some time exploring the city and playing on the beach, so it was a really fun trip.

I went camping last weekend, which was fun until the last night when it started raining and we found out the hard way that our tent wasn't waterproof. Needless to say we were ready to leave in the morning. Other than that though, we had a great time. We went hiking, played some card games, stayed up late, built epic fires: successful trip if you ask me.

I got my ears pierced this week. I had to get it done with a needle, because there's scar tissue from the last night I had the pierced. It was actually a lot better than a gun, and my ears don't hurt very much at all. The only annoying part is having to soak my ear in water and sea salt of 10 minutes twice a day. I usually end up spilling water on myself. Not suave.

I've given up junk food for lent, which is going pretty well so far, but it does get difficult on Fridays when I can't eat meat either. I've come up with creative ways to eat hummus and salads. Needless to say I'm really looking forward to Easter, not only 'cause I can eat FOOD again, but I get to see my Nana and Papa AND my siblings. Wahoo!

I just got done with a bunch of midterms and have yet to find out my grades on them. I'm still doing volunteer work at the animal shelter. That's really fun, except for when I take the dogs out on walks and the slip away from me. That's happened to me twice now, which is just kinda embarrassing. Luckily I've been able to catch them each time. On Mondays I do dog walking and cat cuddling because the shelter is closed to the public, and on Thursdays I do client services, so I help people at the front desk. It's fun, keeps me busy, and makes me feel pretty good about myself.

Saturday the Newman Center volunteered at the Peteluma Food Bank, so we met up at 6 am and carpooled over there to make up over 300 boxes of food for needy families. It was really fun, kiind of exhausting, and really early in the morning. We're going to try and make it a monthly thing, maybe starting next semester, since this one is getting close to being done.
