Finally Free From Finals~

Morning friends!

Yup I am FREEEE! Sorry I haven't been giving you guys a whole lot of reading material, but I will be able to do more now that I get a week off!

So let's back track a tiny bit . . .


I had a math final, an MMW final, and two ASL finals.

Monday: MMW- map identification, image identification and explanation, paired IDs, 2 one page answers, and one two to three page essay.

Tuesday: ASL analysis- 75 multiple choice

Wednesday: ASL conversation: 10 minutes total, "Role Play", describing a picture, making up a story
                  Math: 8 problems, made up of 12 parts out of a total of 70 points

It was a busy time since Friday. Schatzi and I went out to dinner. He had bought me a helmet the day before so this time I rode his motorcycle instead of having to ride the bus! It was quite an experience I must say. (Will elaborate more next time) He let me choose so I chose Bluefin Fusion. It's a Japanese restaurant so I'm sure you all can guess what I ordered. Yup! Thoroughly enjoyed my dinner. Thanks again babe!



I did some math on Friday and all day Saturday. Then MMW all day Sunday into Monday mornin. Woke up early Monday and got some last minute studying in. After I walked out of that final I felt like I had sandbags lifted off my shoulders! I was still worried about my 3rd essay grade, but that's a different story. ASL analysis wasn't too bad, but the conversation was difficult because it is hard to prepare for. When I sat down, I chose a slip of paper that said I had just come back from living with a Deaf family while attending Galladet and I need to tell my roommate/friend how my experience differed from living at home with my hearing family. After I was done struggling through that, I chose a picture. I honestly don't understand where they get these photos from! It was what I believed to be a sculpture of a fat man, bald, no eyebrows, a tiny orangey red cone hat, with bulging eyes. Made up a somewhat decent story, but not sure how I did to be honest. After ASL I went to pick up my 3rd MMW essay. Turns out I did better than I thought I would have!! Then hours of math X.X scarfed down dinner and off to math! I felt good coming out of it so I hope that reflects on final grade. Like my final day of finals outfit? New VS top that I bought from someone for $3. It's super comfy and soft! I have been feeling my white shorts lately. Not sure why, but loving em!

Love to stay and chat, but I have a date with the ice skating rink!

Pi Day!

Hey they beautiful people!

*Click HERE to listen to Michael Buble's It's a Beautiful Day*

Let's start off by admiring how gorgeous today is. Such perfect weather here at UCSD. Around 70 degrees, 2 mph winds, 59% humidity. Oh, can you guys guess where on campus I am? Guess in the comments below!

So for all of you that aren't aware, it just so happens to be Pi Day! You know, 3.141592653589..... I haven't had pie yet. But I DID have a yummy vanilla milkshake with whip cream and caramel drizzled on top! Ever have trouble holding a really cold drink? Try this next time.

Put the coffee collar around your cold drink and voila! No more frozen fingers or wet hands! Enjoy your beverages!

I wish I could sit here for another hour, but off to Calculus tutoring I go :/

Catch up with y'all laters! Take a few moments to sit out in the sun!

Finals Snack!

Afternoon everyone!

I have a handful of posts on the To Do List, but finals and school work need to come first right? I was sitting on my usual spot on the couch in the common room when I remembered I hadn't checked my UCSD email yet. So I checked and saw an email from the parcel station! I didn't recall ordering anything so I was a bit confused. Bob and I took a quick trip to the parcel station and there it was! A nice brown box with my name on it! Not to mention the crazy amount of tape on it lol JK not that crazy. My mom and I always tape over the entire paper with the address on it. The tape protects the paper and ink from getting all messed up. Plus it is always a blast taping a box up! You get a form of satisfaction out of perfectly taping it up. If ya don;t know what I am talking about, give it a try! Mom packed me packages of yummyful chestnuts!! I know that when this weekend comes I will be snacking quite a bit. I can now go into the weekend knowing I have a healthy snack for brain food!

Thank you mom!

Gospel Choir Concert!

Morning guys,

I really wana sleep, but I am determined to upload this blog.

As most of you know, I am in Gospel Choir here at UCSD! To get the 2 units, we have to attend 2 concerts. March 4th was the mandatory formal concert. Sarah was kind enough to record the performance for Bob, Dory, and I. Down side is that the quality isn't that great. I apologize, but at least you guys get an idea of what went down!

A few summers ago I created a YouTube channel so I could make nail tutorials! But SJ didn't give much support and I lost motivation. Who knew my first videos would be me in Gospel Choir!! Figured it was easier for me to upload them to YouTube than attempt to upload them directly to this page. I hope you guys enjoy! I had a blast, maybe a little too much fun.

Not sure as to who came up with this unique day, but you can get free pancakes! I mean who doesn't like pancakes? Slightly ironic because I am not really a fan of them . . . *cricket cricket*

Enjoy the rest of your day,

Nail Stuffs

Afternoon guys,





My parents came down yesterday and I asked them to bring a ton of my stuff. Amongst the stuff I asked for a good portion of my nail polishes and tools. I never really thought about how much I actually have . . .




Here's some of the non-polish items. Crazy right? The crazier thing is that I still want more!! Maybe I am a tad bit obsessed. It's a passion though!

Blueberry Muffin Breakfast

Morning friends!

Woke a minute before Schatzi's alarm went off at 7:00. He said he would make me blueberry muffins since it would be my first meal off my diet! So he started baking while I fell back asleep for a bit. It was so satisfying waking up to the smell of fresh baked muffins. Smelled delicious, but he said he had burnt them. I find it hilarious because he bakes all sorts of things during the holidays, but a box mix of blueberry muffin mix gave him a hard time! They don't look that bad right? The tops were perfect in my opinion! Nice and brown, toasty, warm!

So off he went on his motorcycle to fetch another box of muffin mix. Here he is placing the foil cups into the muffin pan. I have a question for you guys. At home I was told to use the foil not the papers between the foils. Are both the foil and paper usable? I mean not the paper that come on their own, but the ones that separate the foils ones themselves. Schatzi made a good point though. He said maybe to use the foil then place the paper inside since the muffins would stick to the foil. Sooo maybe the paper would help and the foil is for looks?



I spilled a bit on the edges, but there they are before they went into the oven. Front corner of four have chocolate chips!





Since Schatzi was making muffins I decided to try Blogilates' banana pancakes! Just cuz I am off the diet doesn't mean I should go tooo crazy right? I peeled and mashed a banana in a bowl. Then added two eggs




Not a bad breakfast if you ask me! I usually put butter on my muffins, but I recently found out that this isn't the norm. Many of my friends have never put butter on their muffins, Schatzi included. Do you guys put butter on your muffins? Or do you eat them plain?






It's just Schatzi and I so of course we had leftovers. He was so kind as to pack me up some to take back to my dorm!

Thanks for breakfast Schatzi
