LA

I lived in Los Angeles for about 2 years. Most times I am so glad that I am not living there anymore. That being said...I miss California. A lot. I don't know if it is just this time of year or what, but I really really miss it. This is the perfect weather to walk along the waters edge, just barely letting the water lap over my feed and feel the sun beating down on me. I love California in the Spring.

Mom and I have been throwing around the idea of going to L.A. this summer to visit Emily and to walk around the Grove, and on the beach, and go to Cobras & Matadors for dinner. We will also visit Lala's Argentinian Grill. All amazing, I tell ya. All amazing.

Spring break has been great. I spent the first part of the week camping with Anne and Jeff. It was frickin awesome. I got worried that the weather wouldn't cooperate with us. There was a huge storm that blew through right as we were trying to leave. It rained so hard and so fast that the street by my apartment complex was completely flooded for a good 20 minutes. The water luckily went down as fast as it came up, but it was still a little freaky. The same storm was headed right to where we were going camping, but luckily we got there after the storm and never saw a raindrop the whole time we were there. The weather was simply gorgeous. The sunsets were gorgeous. The fire was gorgeous. Spending time with my friends, was gorgeous. I loved it.

Last night we went out for Holli's 25th birthday. It was fairly awesome, and I loved it. I haven't hung out with her enough lately. I'm going to try to change that. I just get so wrapped up in school...but I shouldn't let that be an excuse to not take care of my friendships.

Today mom and I went to the Modern Museun for lunch. I love eating lunch there with mom. It's greatness. We had lots of great conversation. The one exhibit inside the museum that mom really wanted to see wasn't up, so we didn't actually go into the museum. So, instead we went to Barnes and Nobles and walked around looking at books we'd like to read, then stopped in at Starbucks. Perfect afternoon with mom.

Lots of random stuff...now I'm just going to relax and enjoy my last night of Spring Break. Tomorrow morning/afternoon I need to clean up, and do some homework. I'm sad the break is over so fast.

Random Update

So here's the thing. I can be somewhat of a perfectionist. However, I am also a huge procrastinator. Yet, I love how it feels to start studying for a test days or a week in advance, it helpe me to really feel like I grasp the information, but that goes against everything that is procrastination. So I feel a sense of disconnect. I really wish that more often I could find the motivation to not procrastinate and to spend so much quality time studying the information I am learning in my classes. The thing is, I LOVE learning, and when I take the time (like I have been for this second New Testament exam) I find how much I really love learning and grasping the information.

Kind of makes me wish i hadn't finished my ethics exam 16 minutes before it was due today. Especially since I do not at all feel comfortable with what I wrote. Granted, I sound intelligent on the exam, but did I really answer the question? No one knows. Everyone that I talked to today when we turned them in agreed that they had absolutely NO idea how they did on the exam because we were given very few peramaters on HOW to frame it. Guess I'll just have to wait until after spring break to find out. The good think about it is, I don't have to worry about it over Spring Break. For once all my midterms are before spring break not after. That is such a nice feeling.

And, now I am about to pass out. 4 hours of sleep last night is fading fast and I need at least 8 before playing with Sky all day , and studying all night.

I'm so ready for spring break...
