Tartuffe

Last night I went to the last production of Tartuffe preformed on campus. The gates opened at 6 so my friends and I decided to head over at 6:45 because the play would not start until the sun went down. We sat on a blanket on the grass for about an hour talking about random things and playing a few games before the play finally stated at around 7:45. It was a very interesting play about a man who is basically decisiving a man to get the deed to his house and land. The man being decived had almost made his own daughter marry this awful man, Tartuffe, but he had no idea of the man’s true intentions. Tartuffe was actually in love with the wife and just wanted to get the man’s land. It was actually a very funny play and it was funny to see the faces of the other actors on stage when the would react to certain lines. I think the students did a very good job putting on the play and really made all the characters come to life. Last year I heard they put on the production “Of Mice And Men” and I would have really liked to see it. My freshman year of high school I had to read the book... and I did not exactly read the whole thing but then we watched the movie in class. It was a great movie and it would have been really cool  watching it in a live production. I cannot wait to see what production they will put on next year.

My Crazy Weekend

Friday night I went to Rainbow Prom with some friends and had a lot of fun. They put on a drag show and it was amazing to watch. We had screamed so much we lost our voices the next day. The event was over at 11 but we were starving so we went to McDonald’s and finally made it back to the dorms around 12:30. The same friends and I were going to go to an event in Modesto the next morning so we all had to try and get some sleep but I just could not fall asleep. I finally went to bed at around 2:30 and had to wake up at around 7 so I could get ready to go to the event. The event was called “Walk A Mile In Her Shoes” and all the guys had the walk a mile wearing red heels so they would see how it feels for woman who get sexually harassed. It was fun but I was tired because I got very little sleep and  starving because I had barely eaten anything all day and they said they would give us pizza when we got back to the dorms. We made it back to the dorms sarlier than expected so the pizza was not ready yet and they told us to meet in the housing office at 12:30 because the pizza would be there. Well the pizza was not there one time and was an hour late so everyone waiting for it was starving and tied but once they ate I am sure they felt better. After that a friend and I watch a tv show then got bored so we played pool, then we got hungry so we decided to go to the village cafe to eat. After we ate we went back to my dorm and watched two movies. By the time the second movie was over it was almost 1 in the morning. I finally went to bed at around 2 but I also had to get up kind of early again. This time was because I was going to my aunt and uncle’s house warming party. My aunt picked me up and we went to their house. It was a super cute house and I can’t wait to spend more time with them there. I found out they will be getting a puppy at the end of May and said that I can come over and help with the dog. I cannot wait until I can see the new puppy.

Gym Time

Recently I have been going to the gym on campus. I use to play volleyball so that is how I used to exercise up until my senor year of high school. Now that I am in college and the gym is free with our tuition might as well take advantage of it. The first semester I went a few times but ended up being too busy to go, then over winter break I hurt my foot while playing open gym volleyball and it has been hurting me since then. I have decided I will not let that hold me back anymore and have been starting to go to the gym more often, but I would like to talk about my most recent experience. I went with a friend on Saturday but I am not so sure that was my best decision. I had only eaten two mini breakfast sandwiches earlier that morning and then ate a bag of chips and candy then went to the gym... basically on an empty stomach. We ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes and after the work out was over I felt super dizzy and had to sit down for a little before continuing on with the other part of my workout. We continued on with a few other machines before going outside to the track and did a few laps and lunges. I was fine after drinking more water and cooling down a little after the treadmill but i was still hungry so after we came back we showed and I made her food. When I woke up the next morning I was super sore. It was mostly from the lunges and from being lazy and not working out for a few days. Moral of the story is always eat something healthy and a little more filling than candy and chips before working out, and also making sure you drink enough water because being dizzy while workout is one of the worst experiences. I has happened to me in the past and you would think I would already learn from my mistakes but I guess I have not. The soreness is worth it though because it is proof that I am doing something productive in my life.

Thanks for reading my blog! Have you ever gotten dizzy while working out?

Crazy Weekend

This past weekend I was very busy. Some friends and I went to the gym Friday night and then after we were done spent a couple of hours at the jacuzzi. It was the first time I had gone in since I came to school in August and it was a little weird at first but after awhile we were just joking around and singing along to the music one of my friend's had playing. The next day the same group of friends and I decided to go to this children's fair NAK put on at a park in Turlock to help support them. We got to pet a K9 dog, but spent most of our time talking o the firefighters. One of them showed us what was in each compartment on the sides of the engine, and then another one came and we decided to ask them the most random questions we could come up with. They told us that they go out on a lot of random calls for the most random things from changing batteries in a smoke detector to stress calls. It was fun talking to them but we decided to leave and get slushies from 711. One of my friends decided we wanted to get boba instead of slushies so we went to Quicklys after 711 then went back to the dorms. At the dorms one friend went to take a nap while the rest of us decided to sit by the pool until we heard that the weekend trip to an Escape Room for Housing still had a lot of spaces left. Three of us decided to go. We all signed in and took the bus to Modesto ate pizza then went to the escape room. there was 14 of us total so we split into two groups of 7. My group did the CSI: Modesto Room and we had to split into separate rooms and talk to each other through a glass door. It was frustrating though because the people who were in the other room were not very good at giving us (my friends and I) the information we needed to open the locks on our side of the door. We ended up running out of time but the guy supervising our room said he was impressed because most people do not make it to how far we got. Moral of the story is if you want to escape out of the room you should make sure you are in a room full of people who know what they are doing and like puzzles or riddles, or make sure you go with people you know so you can delegate work easier.

Thank for reading my blog! Have you ever done an escape room?

Spring Break!

During Spring Break I did a lot of things. The first weekend I went to a family easter party and had a lot of fun. My aunt flew in from Washington and it was nice seeing her because I had not seen her in a few years. I also saw a lot of family that I do not normally talk to and it was nice catching up and seeing how many new baby cousins I now have. Over Spring Break I also started a new TV Show called Ray Donavan because my mother said it was really good and told me to watch it. After watching the first episode I was hooked and watched about three or four episode everyday. I am now on season two but I was not able to watch it these past couple of days. I could not watch it because I was helping my family clean up our house and add some new things to it. My sister and mother worked on cleaning up the bathroom and adding a new cupboard while my father and I worked on putting backsplash in the kitchen. My father and I are both very maticulous so it took us a while for the job to get done. My mother wanted the tiles to go higher though so my sister took me back to campus on Sunday while my mom went to the store to get more tile so my father could finish the backsplash and make it higher.

Spring Break Is So Close, Yet So Far Away!

As I had discussed in my last blog post my mid-term papers had been making me stress out. While I finally finished my second paper and I also turned in that one a week early so I could get it out of the way. After I had finished both of my mid-term papers I had to write an essay for my English class. I was having a very hard time finding a topic to write about because I wanted to write about something that was interesting to me but not very controversal. The topic I ended up writing about was caffeine and wether or not it is bad for you. I wrote it within three hours and I hope it is what my teacher is looking for. Other than writing an essay my mom came to visit me on Friday and it was a lot of fun. She brought food for my roommate and I and we all sat in my room and talked about the most random things. I cant wait until I go home next week for spring break because spending some time with my mom made me miss my home, my family, and my dogs that much more. I am happy I do not have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays because now my family can pick me up on Wednesday after my classes are done for the day since I have Thursday free and we all have Friday off. I hope I do not have a lot of work I need to get done over the break and I can just relax and spend time with my family and friends.

Mid-terms!!

Last week I found out I have to write two mid-term papers for my two online classes. One Is due this upcoming Friday, March 23, and the other one is due March 30. I decided I would try and start them early, so I could get them down before the deadlines rolled around. Last weekend I started the paper that was due first and was able to find my topic pretty easily and was able to finish it by Tuesday afternoon. I had my mom proof read it and then had my sister proof, and then I read through one last time and turned it in on Saturday. I then wanted to start my next mid-term paper that is due on March 30, but I have not been having any luck. I had not been able to find a good topic to write about. Once I had found something to write about it is hard to find any information online about it, so I will have to look deeper on the internet for more information. So far, I have Two sentences written down and am hoping to get this paper down soon. I know I still have two weeks to write it, but I want to finish it early, so I can write yet another essay for my English class. I hope I can finish both of these essays pretty fast, so I do not have to stress about them for too much longer.

Thanks for reading my blog! Are any of you stressing over your mid-terms?
