First day back at CCC

It was a great day back at CCC. :) Had writing at 9:00 and math at 12:00. First days are always nice. Pretty low key, let-me-tell-you-what's-going-on kind of day. French tomorrow. I keep feeling this sense of excitement because I know two more months...and blessed summer is back again. :) Brings a smile to my face. hehehe

Also. I'll be 17 next Thursday. Next year....I'm thinking college....Yes?...ha...ha...ha.... Where did my childhood go? Everything has gone a little faster than I think it should...but then again. I'm starting to feel like its getting time to go. I know all adults know the feeling. Lots too do in a short time.... aaahhhhh


Signing off :)

Spring Break 2011 - California!

Spring break has been great!! We have been in California since Sunday night. Monday we went to San Fransisco and had one great day. Visited Alcatraz, walked along the wharf, strolled down China town and Little Italy, had ice cream sundaes at Ghirardelli square, walked down Lombard street (the crookedest street), had soup bowls at Boudin and ate a garlic dish at 'The Sinking Rose' and went back to our hotel exhausted!! That was a great day. Tuesday we went to a petrified forest on our way to our hotel on Clear Lake. Wednesday and today, Thursday, have just been nice lazy days swimming and playing games, going on walks by the lake and enjoying some relaxation.Tomorrow we are driving to the Red Wood forest and exploring there and then driving as far as we can and either stop at a hotel or make it all the way home to Oregon City, OR. All in all it has been one great week with the family. :)

Some advice / thoughts on life.....

"When life is throwing all the negatives of the world at you, defeat them with a smile and a hearty laugh." :D

"When you go new places, pause for a moment and take it in by concentrating on smells, sounds, objects, buildings and the feeling of the area around you. It will make it more memorable."
