Hello to you all!
I hope you all had a lovely time during
spring break. I am sure each was well spent with relaxation and sleep.
For me,
I visited California! I spent it with my dad and relatives. Dad and I visited
Catalina Island on St. Patrick’s Day. We listened to intoxicated college
students sing karaoke horribly and wandered to the other side of the island,
too! My favorite part was tasting the best coffee cake on the boat en route to
the island. When I had visited prior, probably ten years ago, I only remember
eating the greatest coffee cake of my life from that trip. Having returned, it
was just as delicious that I took some home with me! On top of that, I slept
through an earthquake (sadly I am proud of that) and attended two different
Paleyfest events. It is a two week long event where the cast of a television
show do a Q & A with the audience after watching the next episode. Lastly,
it is hosted in the Dolby Theater (where the Oscars were held). I saw the cast
of “How I Met Your Mother” and “Parks & Recreation”. I also touched Max
Greenfield from “New Girl”. I always told myself that I would never be that
crazed fun, but I was. He was too busy to get a photo but I was extremely
content to have seen him!
Now, back to school stuff. We are in the
home stretch! I do not know if that will help out, but optimism is somewhat my
strong suit. I will say, my grades could be better than they currently are
right now. They definitely could be worse, too. I have simply vowed to finish
as strong as possible. As usual, I spread myself too thin which is somewhat
biting me in the bottom, but I know that just means I really have to manage my
time. The mutual consensus is that not many fellow sophomores have been
enjoying this semester. It varies from disliking classes to the teachers to the
schedules. I can sympathize in a sense, it has been difficult. I find myself
utterly exhausted and watching reruns of “Gossip Girl” or other shows that have
no moral values. The desire to detach from reality has increased this semester,
but luckily summer is around the corner. I have doing a service trip to
Nicaragua to look forward to along with cutting my hair for Locks of Love for
the second time. After that, I will be traveling next fall around the world for
a Semester at Sea. Woohoo! More traveling, personal and destination
exploration! My type of education. Good luck to you all! You will all rock your
finals and finish strong!
Sending love and lucky wishes,
Chand
