Portfolio

I'm trying to perfect my English portfolio, but looking at what I have at the moment, I'm feeling really good!! ;] I put some work into it, especially on the final Zine!! I enjoyed making it, so no complaints! From the last time I checked, I had a B+ in the class. I really hope this final portfolio pushes me up to that A!!!! ^__^

CSUN Track & Field Roster

So I'm finally up on the CSUN Track & Field Roster!! Im so excited, and I can't wait for my season to begin! We've been training for quite awhile, and I want to bring out my training to the competition. I encourage everyone to come out to the track meets!! We'll be having several at our school! You'll see me ;]

Finals...

Finals are coming up real soon, and I'm already stressing out. I only have two tests, one on the twelfth and the eighteenth. I'll do fine on my math test, but my chemistry test is what I'm worried about. It's my first test, so I will be taking it on the twelfth unfortunately. I still need to complete some homework and a few quizzes before hand, and I still have to perfect my portfolio. It's time for me to study ;] I'll be getting all them A's.

   November 29th was the day that we had my grandmother's funeral. It was a rainy and gloomy day, and I waited with my family as we lingered around for the guests to arrive. I couldn't face the fact that I was already at my grandmother's funeral. It was like a nightmare you'd never want to face, but it was reality... it was real. I love my grandmother so much, and I cannot explain how much I look up to her. That day was a terrible day for me. But, I realized something positive. All my family was here, together in unison. We have always had problems within the family, but seeing us all together gave me a good reason to look up to my grandmother and smile.

Rose Parade

So the rose parade is coming up really soon! I'm really excited for it, especially since I'll be in it! ;)
I will be marching in the rose parade, so watch out for me! We're practicing a lot, walking miles just for practice. But, when the day comes, it will be an amazing experience! =D

My Dearest Friend

   Not too long ago, my grandmother passed away. She was one of the only people that I really looked up to and kept my close memories with. My loved my grandmother so much, and I still cannot believe that she's gone. My grandmother has been sick for quite a while, around six months or so, and she has been in the hospital for a long time. She accidentally fell and developed an infection in her hip. It worsened over time and began damaging her body. She had then had a stroke, kidney failure, and many other problems that she had developed. I felt horrible for my grandmother, especially the hard times that she had faced. I am relieved for her that she has passed, because she has been suffering under life support for the longest time. I could not bare seeing her laid out on the bed. Its best that she rests in peace now. I love you Marian. Time will come, and I will see you.

On Dat Adventure!! ;]

Being on the track team, I have the benefit to keep a close relationship to my teammates. I really enjoy spending time with them and I really want them to know who I am, as well as a part of my background.  Some of my teammates live outside of California, so I really wanted to show them my hometown and the places around it. I took my friend Taylor, from New Jersey; Tevin, from NorCal; and Emma, from Finland. I found a weekend for which I could borrow my parents car for the weekend. The weekend I had the car, I took my friends several places. I first took them to a Bagel place in Beverly Hills, following a tour of the city. After seeing much of the rich and luxuries, We took a visit to the beach. We walked across the Santa Monica Pier and had a relaxing gaze out to the sea. After awhile, we became extremely Hungry, so we took of all the way to Old Town Pasadena. We sat in a common dinner, Johnny Rockets, and had a delicious meal. We then walked around for a bit and then took a visit at my very home by which we took a good two hour nap. It became late by then and had to head back, but we had such an amazing time. I wont forget this day, but it will come again soon. Another adventure will await! ;]
