Well...You're getting an update in a week...

Sorry to all those on-line -- that I haven't been around lately. I've just been way too busy. I'm mentoring for the Student Guide training class and the days just take a lot out of me. It's not like a job, perse, where you sit around, do office work, etc. I have to sit or talk to the kids about various things, or listen to a bunch of lectures and I have to maintain a happy persona, be lively, and be active. I have to be a GOOD role model ALL day for 8 hours! It just takes a lot out of you! You don't want to fall asleep or something, that can make the kids not want to do the program anymore, and etc. It's fun though! It's fun seeing the kids and see them "bloom" over the week. I'm having fun watching them.

Other than that, though, there's not much else going on. I STILL haven't registered at CSUMB, yet. I gotta do that or I may run into some problems. *shrugs* We'll see...I haven't found a job, yet, either. I hope to work hard at getting a job after Colin comes. I guess there's really not much else to say. I'll write more later!

Oh!! I almost forgot...

July 17th...The Kentucky Horse Park is having a "Secretariatfest" and I REALLY wanna go... Secretariat is my favorite race horse of all time.

Here's the link about the two-day event.

Hrm....Okay, now why does some computers show my background and others don't? I just don't get it...the computer I'm on now doesn't show my background...*shakes head* But...oh well, I don't know.

Tomorrow starts the Student Guide Training at the Aquarium. Lasts all week and I'm there from 8:15am-3pm. It'll be a lot of fun! I always had fun mentoring with the new students and such. I'm technically not a student anymore, but oh well... Such is life.

I still haven't done my college schedule, yet, so I'm still school less...It's kind of weird to think that I'm going to college next year. I remember the first day of 3rd grade when I moved to Monterey...2nd semester at Marshall Elementary. I remember the first day in middle school (6th grade) at Los Arboles going into Mrs. Bushey's core class. Also the first day of high school and getting lost (I didn't know the school was in hallways!) and some Senior asked if I was lost... Yeah, that taught me to not miss out on orientations or campus tours or something, then again...I haven't taken one of CSUMB, but I guess I don't need one as badly as I did for Monterey. *shrugs*

Not much has gone on for me this last week. I sat around doing basically nothing... I did stain my hope chest from my grandparents. I did two coats so far and my mom is probably going to do the 3rd. It looks pretty nice right now though. I just need to find some cedar now to fit along the walls. There's cedar at the bottom, but none on the sides.

After Colin leaves, also, I'm going to try and look for a job. I think I'll be completely over my not-wanting-to-do-anything mood by then. I'm already wanting to do something more, but I am tomorrow!

I guess there's not much else to say or do so I'll end this now. Hope everyone is doing well!

Hasta

Dang...haven't updated in a while!

Graduation went very well! It was 1:30hrs long, which is good since almost 150 students graduated. Our speaker was a 100-year-old man! He was cool. I got loads of nice graduation gifts too! I got a 3-piece luggage set from my grandparents, which I needed, I got $360, and a bunch of other really thoughtful gifts. Sober grad night was fun. Played 21 and a bunch of other stuff to earn money to go buy raffle tickets and such. I won $50 and a free Jamba Juice. My friend won a small TV w/ DVD player! It was fun seeing all my friends again. There were quite a few drunk people too, but *shrugs* They weren't that bad, just a bit loud at times.

I've been enjoying a bit of leisure time since then. Been laying in bed till 1-2pm, etc. It's been nice. Next week I start up having solid stuff to do though. I have student guide training then and such. I've barelly got anything accomplished that I wanted to get done too. I guess things have a been a bit slow...I gotta get the gears goin' though! Or my summer will pass and what will I get done? NOTHING and that's not satisfactory to me...

I got a 4.0 Cum GPA too. I got my report card on Sat and I got a 4.33 GPA for 2nd semester. I think I did fairly well in HS. I haven't registered at CSUMB, yet, and that makes me officially school-less! There really hasn't been much else goin' on, so I'll make this a short entry.

Hasta!

Well then...I got my yearbook and panoramic picture today! Not much has been going on. Been cleaning the house pretty thoroughly for graduation. Parts of the house are VERY clean! I graduate tomorrow at 4pm!! We had grad practice today and it was boring, pointless, and repetitive. *shrugs* I guess that's life.

I got a 4.4 for the semester! *dances* I'm excited. I got a 104.7% in econ! I got an A+ in Civics and I got an A+ in Econ! So I hit all my goals this semester with my grades and award stuff. It's all pretty good.

I think that's it. Short entry, but I'll write more on Monday or something.

Look at this article!

Disneyland Trip

One of the bus drivers (1/4) when we went down south for our grad night got arrested and junk. It made the local news all over the place and was on CNN once. *rolls eyes* Must have been a slow news day. ;-P I wasn't on that bus. That was bus D, and I was on bus A. definitely cut our time down at Magic Mountain. We got there around 1:30pm, and the other bus was even later, around 3pm. We had to leave at 5:30pm too. *shakes head*

Magic Mountain was fun! I got soaked on roaring rapids at magic mountain and had to sit on the bus in wet, soaked jeans for 2 hours going to Anaheim. That wasn't fun. Also the wet socks too...For some reason we decided to do that one last...*shakes head* The rest of the time was fun though.

House of Blues was also fun! They had a band there that played, dance floor, etc. House of Blues is a club, but the high schoolers basically took it over for the day. We had to have these wrist bands and such. I felt like a VIP for a while.

Disneyland was okay for the first...2 hours. Around 3am, I was dying fast... Having gotten up at 5am and hadn't slept at all going down...I tell you, I was getting VERY frazzled nerves. Disneyland did a really good job on decorations and making it a "teenager's" place. Bright, big lights everywhere, live bands, DJs, fireworks, these things with air that blow through them to make them "wave" in the air, etc. It was pretty surreal feeling. A lot of us felt like we were in a movie or something, it just felt WEIRD. I went on Jungle Cruise (at night, it was interesting), Pirates of the Carribean, Indian Jones, Honey I shrunk the audience show (that was weird too, the floor shook, and stuff was sprayed at us), Star Tours (which was very relaxing to me by that time), and some other stuff. I ended up falling asleep for 20 minutes on Main Street too. They let us out early from Disney though. Instead of 6am, they let us out at 5:30am. By around 4am most of us were all ready to leave...

I'm glad we came home today...I don't think I could handle staying up all night, getting 4 hours of sleep and then going to another amusement park. We did amusement park, dinner, than Disney, which worked well!

I think that's all for now! And I have one more week till I graduate! Friday, June 4th, 2004, at 4pm. Lots of fours?
