For strings, we took a super fun trip to the beach - - here's a look of what went down . . . Ultimately, me and five of my friends stayed in a condo for three days with basically no rules and it was a BLAST!!! we experienced what it's like to cook all of our meals and "be responsible". We alternated between beach, pool and eating while talking to lots of people from our school we had never really gotten to know before. Some adventures included 57 people at the tiny island whataburger, jumping some massive waves, and playing some music around a campfire : hope you enjoy!!!

craziness

HEEEY! im back to blogging lolz . . . sorry my spring has been major busy but major fun! so for now lets just go in chronological order

surprise partiiii

me & geli & sarah decided to throw a super secret surprise party for our two friends with birthdays two days apart

decorated with striped paper straws, mason jars and tiffany blue paper plates , you could say it was cute

we feed everyone ice cream and just enjoyed each others company , after much chaos in trying to get them to sarah's house without suspicions

it was a little difficult to gather lots of people, but we managed

crafty sunday

for our next sunday funday , we all went to micheal's and bought different projects to entertain us

jenna made a clothespin picture hanger , abi bought a coloring book , nicole painted a mason jar , me and sarah made stationary and geli was late

making stationary was actually really fun and cool way to be creative , i am interested in making more in the future

all it takes is markers , some inspirational quotes and washi tape (my new obsession!!!)

creative streak

for my english class , we were tasked with creating a visual and written component based on a theme from the book of mice and men

naturally, i choose to fill a vintage suitcase with some authentic items from the time period

yeah i kinda overdid it , but that's ok because it was fun

finding an old 1937 mice and men book, along with postcards , letters , photographs , a harmonica and a compass really helped me capture the sense of loneliness migrant workers of the time period and currently have to deal with

for the written part , I did a letter to loneliness - an interesting challenge

it's kinda a mixture of poetry and prose and uses some parallel structure im kinda proud of

this project has inspired me to try some new things, and ultimately brought me back to blogging after seeing all these cool creations that materialized from my quirky class

nature videos about solitude, paintings of sunsets, string art -- the projects were all unique and revealed a different side of a lot of people , cool how creativity can do that , right ?

farmers market and la gloria

last saturday we woke up early , ok like nine but whatever , and went to the farmers market at pearl

they had a crepe station which I heard was NOM , and I had a kolache with some pomegranate ice tea

there were like 5748295748239 people with dogs there and each of the little vendors offered something magically different and yummy

next, we went over to la gloria, this super good mexican restaurant

they have the best lemonade and a view of the river

things didn't go exactly as planned when we accidentally ordered spicy hot queso -- but we spent a solid 20 minutes playing heads up at the table , so it was fine

softball is over :(

you could say it was an emotional night considering 7 of us bawled for a good half an hour

it wasn't about losing (we got run-ruled btw) , it was't about the plays , it was about the people

this year we were blessed with two awesome senior leaders who have grown to be some of my best friends since freshman year

we were all terribly sad to see them go , but even if softball brought us together -- im sure the friendship will still last

they have been the BEST role models, and things just won't be the same

time for me to be the leader? excuse me what? that scares me a lot but things will work out (probs , it's unclear if I have authority) 

our last practice was super bittersweet, and even if we were second to last in district it was definitely my favorite season yet 

welp, that's all I have for now but hopefully I can keep up on some more posts soon

jamming to american authors pandora radio , I strongly recommend it
