Ooops
Well, I'm back. Let's take a moment to appreciate that at least :)
Soooo much has happened since my last update. I really don't know where to start. How about...I'm officially a college graduate as of May 2006! Yeeeaah. That definitely goes down on my list of great personal accomplishments...well, not just for me, but for my family and those who have supported me in so many ways my entire life. I'm finally done, with undergrad at least... Of course I want to get my masters, but that will come in due time.
But sheesh since I left you all hanging from my last post, maybe I'll do a little reminiscing about my incredible senior year at USC.
Here are some pics from my Spring Break road trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sure it wasn't your typical beach bash, lounging-by-the-pool type of Spring Break but it was fun and very memorable.
We did some snowboarding in Taos where the conditions were amazing! It was like a Winterwonderland...in April heheh
We stayed with Eliana's cousin and his wife, newlyweds who were sooo much fun to stay with. All in all, it was good company and great times!
Aaand now...Spring Break #2!! Who gets to go on two spring breaks?! The USC Competition Cheerleaders! So about two weeks after the "real" spring break, the team headed over to Daytona Beach for Nationals! woo hooo...it was crazy times with all of my fellow USC cheerleaders who I miss so much! Who cares if we sucked and got beat ten times over by all those midwest schools, we freakin partied it up in Florida and stayed in a beautiful mansion for a week (thank you Mr. and Mrs. O'Meara) :)
Here are the flyers getting ready for competition day 1.
The team chillaxin by the pool...this is the life.
Suntanned and exhausted after playing in the lake...a girl needs her Oceanspray.
Of course I cannot leave out the Senior Fountain run! I waited four years to participate in this night of complete insanity and man was it crazy! Imagine the USC campus filled with hundreds and hundreds of drunk and wet seniors running and jumping in all of the fountians at 12am toasting to their final days as a college student. Hahah...we for sure ended this one with a bang.
Here we are posing in one of the fountains.
This was definitely one of my favorite nights and memories at USC...sigh...
Finally the big day arrived! Graduation..woo hoo!
Here are my fellow Biomedical Engineering grads showing off our fake diplomas right after walking. Look how happy we are...no more BME undergrad bullshit woot!
This one was taken at the Latino Graduation...soooo much fun! So proud of all of us!
Of course, no graduation is complete without some kind of trip or traveling (at least in my books)! So, I went with a group of friends to Puerto Penasco Mexico for a week of some serious relaxing.
The beautiful Puerto Penasco...
Dining by the ocean with my baby!
They even have "Yamba Yuce" there. haha
So there you have it. A quick summary of key events from my favorite year at USC..ahh it miss it already. :( This is in no way a comprehensive account of the past year..believe it you all wouldn't get an udpate for another 5 months if I even attempted it..but this is all you get for now suckas!
Ahhh I wish I could be a lazy college student my entire life minus the homework, exams, stress... Buuut we all know how I hate to be broke and my material needs dictate that I get my lazy ass a job. So I did! And now I am a working woman...woot woot! The whole job hunting was pain but it was totally worth it. I have a great & real engineering job and I am finally livin' well. My job is in Pasadena, so the commute kinda sucks but I absolutely love the area since we are in the middle of downtown. I really have no real complaints about life right now. I like what I am doing and even better I don't have to worry about homework and exams anymore!! And to top it all off, I still have my amazing boyfriend by my side who continues to make me complete and I couldn't ask for anything more :)
So there you have it...my short re-introduction. Mark my words - I will be updating this regularly now! I don't know how I let myself slack for so long especially cuz I love keeping some type of "record" for all my crazy adventures. Soo expect more people!!
Peace for now!
