Hey everyone!
Sorry I've been so AWOL over the last month. The summer months are rather dull and I didn't want this blog to turn into a "had an OK day but got a Coke Zero at the gas station. Raise the Roof!" sort of situation (anyone catch the reference?).
Oh and my employee discount card arrived today so I'm super excited to get Gap Inc. discounts.
So to keep you all entertained while I wait for more interesting things to happen to me (The end of the Harry Potter era is almost here, there will be a long one then) I'm going to post the link to my tumblr account which is filled with interesting pictures and things that I enjoy.
Here it is:

Everyone enjoy your summer and if you live in the bay area, come visit me at work at the Gap. We have a really great sale going on for a limited time only!
Bye-Bye!

Asked the girl what she wanted to be
Hey all!
Guess What?
I got a job at the Gap a few days ago. Yeah! I've had two days of work and have been doing my training as well. It's fun and I get a pretty awesome discount at the Gap and it's fellow stores like Banana Republic. Now I have three summer jobs (even though one of them is really seasonal) so lots of money this summer!
The weather here has sucked the last few weeks because it has been raining non-stop. My work tomorrow at the Mountain Play even got cancelled tomorrow because there is supposed to be Lightning. That's great.
Anyway, I just wanted to keep up guys up to date on my summer doings. But there really is not a whole lot going on.
I just want the sun to come out so I can wear shorts and dresses.
Bye-Bye!

Taking care of business
Hi!
So I've been home now for about two weeks and find that life back in Mill Valley is, for lack of a better word, dull. Compared to DC, there is no Metro and our little town just doesn't measure up. Well anyway, enough about that.
I've been searching for a third job to have this summer because I have nothing to do for the month of May because my real summer job doesn't start until June 13th. This search is not proving to be all that easy but hopefully, I'll get something out of it.
I've visited CTE a few times since I've been back and it was a little weird because I finally realized that I'm out of the loop on a whole lot of things because I'm no longer an active member. Anyway, I have my new department to feel connected in (well, hardly new considering I've been there a year).
We are still waiting to hear what the 2011-2012 season is going to be for CUADrama next year and it is nerve-racking. I want to start working on monologues right away. I want to get cast a lot this year. But we will see what happens.
Anyway, that's been my life so far. It's really not all that interesting right now, hence why I haven't blogged in a few weeks.
Hopefully it will liven up soon.
Bye-Bye!

And have you travelled very far? Far as the eye can see
Hello Everyone!
FRESHMEN YEAR IS OVER!!!! I had my last final today at eight in the morning and now I'm sitting in my dorm attempting to pack everything up, which is going well. I'm leaving campus at one today and then I'm back to the Bay on Monday.
I can't believe how fast time went. It seems like yesterday that I was moving in. And in a blink of an eye, all my stuff is in garbage bags awaiting it's stay at our family friend's house. It makes me so sad. I love my college and I'm not ready to say goodbye to all of my crazy and wonderful drama kids. But I will see them in four months which will be great.
And I'm going to miss Washington DC so much. It is a great city and I have loved getting to know it. I love the fact that I can go see amazing art and the amazing museums and eat Chop't whenever I want. There are no Chop't on the West Coast, it is such a tragedy. How will I get my fix?
But home will be nice as well. I look forward to sleeping in my own bed and not worrying about RAs and annoying neighbors. At least next year, I will have my own room which I can decorate however I want. I'm thinking lots of posters, especially from The Departed.
This year has been great because it has made me be content with who I am and now I don't care what anyone thinks. Thank you Catholic University for that!
Now a pictorial journey of how my room looks now compared to the whole year:
Before:
After:
Now as "Baby, You're a Rich Man" plays on my itunes, I say goodbye to Freshmen Year! What a great ending.
Bye-bye!

Osama Bin Laden is dead!
I was at a Drama party tonight when it was announced that he died. Having lived overseas for nine years, the Expat part of me is jumping up and down cheering at the top of my lungs. He terrorized us when we lived in Asia. Any Expat could tell you that.
But the rational part of me is saying that it's weird to be celebrating his death. He died in a violent way and it's almost creepy that America is throwing a huge party about it.
But the world is safer for now!!!
And Pope John Paul was beatified today! I loved him so much. He was such a great pope, he deserves to be a saint.
And Gilbie's, CUA Drama's end of the year awards ceremony was tonight and it was awesome!!! My Freshmen Drama career is complete!! Yeah!!
Now it's onto the studying and the finals!!!
At least the Al Qaeda leader is gone. The world can be safe.
Bye-Bye!

I'll be seeing you in all the old familar places
Hello Everyone!
Yesterday was the Last day of classes!!!!
Catholic has a huge event of the last day every year known as Luaupalooza which is basically a giant celebration that everyone finished classes. There were a few carnival rides and entertainment up the wazoo. The more ridiculous entertainment was the Jimmy Buffet cover band, Sons of Pirates. But I guess the Hawaii theme supported them being there.
The big part of the event was the shirt they gave out at the start. People started lining up at 2 pm to be the first to receive their shirts at 5 pm. I wasn't quite as ridiculous and got there at 3:30. Yeah, that still is early.
And at the end of the event, they had fireworks for us. They were quite amazing but I wondered what everyone not at Catholic thought they were for because it is really random to have fireworks on April 29th. Even still it was a great ending to a great day.
I am basically no longer a Freshmen other then the fact that I have finals this week, which is some kind of strange limbo because it really isn't school. And then I'm home a week from Monday.
It's so exciting! Time went so quickly that now I'm here while parts of me are still back in the beginning of the year and the start of second semester. I have so many memories from this year. It's so strange that a year ago today, I had no idea who any of these people were and was still completely upset about not getting into any of the schools I auditioned for. A year later, I know and love a lot of the people here at Catholic and have finally come to terms with the fact that I am not a failure. I will definitely miss this place over the summer.
Oh and my job yesterday at work was to find a classic comedy with a lot of women. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack the size of Texas. Next to impossible. But I found four shows that have the right numbers. Yeah! This is me saying that now I'm even helping to find shows for our next season.
And now I just have to get down to studying and finishing up my theology paper. At least I have until Thursday to do that. My first final is my easiest, my acting final. We are just going to do our scenes we have been working on all semester. And then the tests come. Oh goody.
But then I go home. Yeah!
Everyone enjoy life and I will most likely write again when I am done with finals.
Bye-Bye!

I used to be a heart beating for somebody
Hello everyone!
So I have three days left of classes for Freshmen year! What?!
Nothing exciting happened during the day today but my father was back in town tonight. He took me to dinner at Carmine's which is a prime example of the obesity problem in America. The platters were larger then my head and it freaked me out so much that I really couldn't eat.
Large portions have always bothered me because in Asia, portions are small and I grew up on their nice small portions. So places that have large, family-style dishes are not my cup of tea.
Anyway, it turns out all that worrying I did about my Theology paper really wasn't all that needed. There is no required draft for our meeting on Thursday but she would like to see one. yeah, like that's going to happen. I really need to work on it.
Now onto the LAST DAY of the Music Challenge!
Day 30- your favorite song this time, last year
So today last year, I would have gotten back from my extended trip to London two days before. That trip in itself was a monumental moment in my life. It's also so weird to think that it was a year ago. At this point in time, my favorite song probably came from my hours of rocking out to awesome music on the airplane. Virgin Atlantic is awesome with their entertainment. I remember I listened to all of Adele's first album while I attempted to write a short story and making observations on how "flying over Greenland reminds me of Frankenstein" That's a direct quote right there. This song reminds me of landing at amazing LAX (note sarcasm) and how it felt kind of awesome to be back in the US. I also was enjoying the wonder of being introduced properly to Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band last year so "Day in the Life" was one of my favorites at this point. Now here is my last song of this challenge!
Has it really been 30 days?!

You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Hello Everyone!
Classes start up again tomorrow but Guess what? I have four days of classes left, for the WHOLE YEAR!!! I can't believe that I have finished my freshmen year of college. It feels like yesterday that I was walking into Tam High, completely overwhelmed by the Seniors yelling stuff at me for my first day of high school. Time, slow down please!
Today was an uneventful day because I hadn't thought to plan anything for today. The weather is amazing though so I went down to Chinatown and wandered around again. Hopefully it stays this nice for the rest of the semester, which has only two weeks (not even) left.
My major problem right now is that I have a theology paper due on the day of the final as well as a final test. It makes me so angry, why can't my teacher just pick one? She also wants a rough draft of it this Thursday and I have an acting paper due that day. Ms.Berry, why so much work?! Other then that, my acting paper is already half-way done and all I have left are my final tests next week. Stress will probably rise tomorrow.
Anyway, onto the Music Challenge!
Day 29- a song from your childhood
I generally like songs a lot more if I can relate them to something back in my childhood. I have a playlist on itunes dedicated to them. A lot of these songs come from my two year stint in which I was in the children's chorus for British Pantomime shows in elementary school. Some come from favorite movies such as The Sound of Music of The Parent Trap (the Lohan version), as well as the greatest Disney movie time period. Even as a child, I was an old-soul with my taste in music. This particular song has a great memory attached to it.
I was at a fourth of July block party when I was six in San Diego. There was a karaoke machine and everyone was singing random songs. I remember one girl singing "Crazy" by Britney Spears. I got up and and sang this particular song and all of the parents were in disbelief and slightly awed. I knew this song because my mom had always been playing his CD in our house.

Enjoy and heres hoping I make through the next two weeks!
