wherever you go, go with all your heart

rhodessa jones came to class! what an inspirational woman. (http://culturalodyssey.org/v2/aboutus/rhodessa_bio.html)

also, annabelle came back from LA this week. :) friday, venus with lisi to reflect back on our whole year. and amazing omelettes of course. homework all day, cheesecake factory & cinderella with annabelle and char. cinderella was truly amazing, the tech part supplemented very well. (; more on that later. jen and con came over late, so couldn’t wake up the next day. slept most of saturday, other than brunch with matt (reflection on almost a year ago when we were calso kids sitting at almost exactly the same spot) and dinner with annabelle. also called our dance teacher april and my grandma. :) then annabelle left ;( gonna miss having her around. <3

sunday, worked on essay. had first run of great things. (: which was pretty great, everyone is so talented and creative and aaah. i thought i’d be a little stressed with all the work to do and the fact that i have got inferiority complex but it was just so transfixing and amazing to watch.

what a wonderful week! 

got to see alvin ailey, fact/sf’s falling, anna halprin’s planetary dance within four days. <3 office hours for paper, career center advice was good too. went out friday night, rested and did homework most of saturday (as well as got hired! booyah). sunday went to the bam/pfa to write essays with erica. six pages for a twelve page paper! not bad hey? 

raymond treated us all to thai dinner! how about that? ^

after that, last dance rehearsal before polarity begins!

When I try to start studying

It’s like:

yup pretty much sums it up

what a whirlwind of a weekend. (: whew. 

after northside cafe with lisi (yum eggs benedict), went home and studied a ton. went to pick up my dancing-aunt annabelle from the sfo. flight was delayed so spent a good amount of time at the airport chatting, reading tutu’s no future without forgiveness. good stuff.

saturday, cal day! picked up a gophone for annabelle, visited sproul for cal day w connie and ang. so sunny and nice out. (: makes me really miss my parents. especially grateful for my dad, who took me college visiting after i was accepted to schools - in april he took a week off work (he almost never does) just to take me to visit cmc and usc, driving nearly 8-10 hours in the LA traffic back and forth for three days,  as the traffic stopped and went, halted and went. while i was asleep he had jetlag too. & then we went to norcal and ended up choosing here. thanks dad <3 i’m really really thankful for all the work you’ve put into raising me and caring for me and making sure i am always making the best decision for me.

yes so that’s my nostalgia. anyway cal day, had thai basil, watched some performances, rode the cable cars, checked out the free food and club booths. it’s funny ‘cause i went home and looked at the pictures i took of cal day last year and i took pictures of some pretty random stuff. like of the bust in sproul hall, and a flashy sign for grinnell’s pizza. i haven’t even tried that.

did some homework, had an impromptu photoshoot with mac and rik for the article i was writing. dinner with the floor, berkeley dance project with annabelle. it was phenomenal! then went out with con and jenny ;)

sunday, woke up at like 7 to skype parents, 8 walked through elmwood for breakfast at the elmwood cafe, BART to SF, shopping through westfield and union square, SF ballet’s Francesca da Rimini then LINES ballet! too good. upon returning to berkeley, had amazing japanese food, courtesy of annabelle’s hotel recommendations. came back, hung with mattb. :)

syatnsdaria:

I wore shorts and a t-shirt out for the first time since September. The weather this past week has been surprisingly good. Which was perfect because my best friend came to visit me from California. It’s as if she brought the California sunshine to Vancouver. It was perfect timing for her to visit…
