What's New

A new semester has started and it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun and a lot of hard work! I am taking 16 units this semester; 3 interior design classes (yay!) 2 of them are lecture classes and 1 is a studio class where I will be learning drafting and how to make models.
I am really excited for that class! Then I am also taking a math class and Ancient Greece as my ancient civilizations course for general ed. I am also taking a creative aerobics course which I hope will help me get into better shape. The first week went well and I hope the semester continues in this manner. There is this club on campus called Pr.Int.S (Professional Interior Design Students) it is the only Interior Design club on campus and my friend and I are going to go to their meeting on Wednesday and join. It sounds like a really good opportunity, the club does a lot of functions with the local design community so it is an excellent way to network and make contacts, they also do things for Habitat for Humanity so I can do some community service which is always good, and its also just a chance to meet some people and hopefully make some more friends!

Summer was nice and relaxing, it was so nice to actually have a break for once and not be working a full time job, probably the last time for many years to come that I could just enjoy my summer and have a good time with friends and family so I definitely took full advantage of it! I started out the summer with an art class that I took both for fun and to improve my drawing skills. I really enjoyed the class and produced so drawings that I am very pleased with.

I also was able to keep in touch with my creative side by baking and decorating lots of cakes, I think I made 8 cakes over the break.




It is always fun to do stuff like that. I am excited my mom and I are going to be taking another cake decorating class in October so I will learn some more skills to improve my work even more. This time the class will be focusing on Fondant and Gumpaste, both of which I do not have a lot of experience so I am certainly looking forward to the different techniques we will be learning! Looks like the cakes I bake this holiday season will be even prettier than last year!!!! I know that is still a few months away, but I am just so excited for the fall season and then all the holidays! It is my favorite time of the year and it is almost here!!!

Yesterday I went to Old Sac with a couple of friends and their baby and we spent most of the day there. It was a lot of fun, they had "Gold Rush Days" going on so there were reinactments and horse drawn wagans and they made it look like it would have when Old Sac was all of Sacramento. We just walked around and looked in the shops and had a good time. It only her second time going there and the first time she said was kinda a dud and they didn't stay too long so this time she actually got to experience it!
