Silhouette Bicycle Rides

    After working at the church pre-school it was a beautiful day and I knew we just had to do something really fun outside! So Marina Brielle and I went for a bike ride. We road for a few miles up some streets and down some. Till we ended up at Henry's to get some lunches. I was being really indecisive about what I wanted to eat. And it helped that the deli man was really cute ( dark with blue blue eyes!). Marina was in love... So in the end I choose some potato salad ( so we could talk to him) and a juice drink, it was satisfying.

Fish tale braid! 

My Lunch

   We continued our ride and we ended up at the local park. I sat there laying in the sun and letting its rays hit my skin. It was good to just soak up the sun and the friendship. I danced around till I fell over! ha I don't know why but I was feeling so much like a child!

   As we sat there we heard a police helicopter saying they were searching for a man and they went on to continue the description. Marina looks over her solder to see the man she was describing we got up, grabbed our bikes and ran down the grassy hill. I found a cop and told her about the guy..... and me and the other girls were super freaked out, I was thinking how he could be some big criminal or kidnapper and I was all flustered! Then I was especially worried I think because I was feeling like a little girl all day.... But anyways When we told the woman police it turned out he was mentally handicapped and had a mental capacity of a five year old and he had run away. She then went on and said they just had to find him to keep him from accidentally harming himself or others. feewwwwf  : / that was a relief!
So that was the most exciting part of the day!

We got back on the bikes and headed back to school.

Arm and Arm with Tea and Coffee

      As of now, I have been back at school for a week. I have spent the week going to new classes, dropping and adding classes, and figuring out my new schedule for this semester. I'm taking a whopping seventeen units... so I will be extremely busy for the next few months. But this week was not only books and brains, I also got to hangout with my friends whom I had not seen all of winter break! 

        The first couple days back, it almost felt sereal as if it was not real. It was enjoyable to be with all of my new friends from college. This week we just did fun things like Brielle, Ashlee and I got to have tea when we both had break from classes. Another morning this week, I painted as the sun was streaming in through the window cile. It was so enjoyable to have the warm sun hit my hair in the rather chilly dorm room.

    On thursday, I got a lovely visit from Jesslan and Nicole. Jess had class and Nicole hungout with me and went to our Arobics class ( which apparently is a hip-hop class they just forgot to tell us when we signed up) But she got to watch me be incredibly awkward and embarrassing trying to dance the moonwalk and do the wave across my body from finger tip to finger tip. Then I gave her a tour of the campus. Once Jesslan and Brielle were out of class the four of us went to a local coffee shop. I got a cafe mocha it was simply delicious.

Shoes- Christmas present from my beautiful sister Olivia

     After having a salad for dinner, we went to the men's basketball game for a while. As we sat in the dorm room I was talking about cutting bangs into my hair... and after some peer pressure I went out on a limb and cut my hair! I know crazy right! I still can't believe that I did it! Previously I had been growing out my side bangs for about a year and they were almost the length of my first layer... I'm glad I put a little change in my look for this new year and new semester! 

Crazy Crazy!

A Farewell to 2010

An Interesting evening of sorts.... 
Last night was new years eve, and most eighteen year olds probably.... go to a dance party, a club, have a party of there own, hangout with their boy friend, set off fire works, basically party hearty. But I suppose I am not a typical teenager because my New Years did not exactly consist of these things. But I did start my countdown to the new year around three in the afternoon. Luckily I was not alone on my lame end of 2010. My friend Nicole and I did a various of different things, we walked from her house to a mall of sorta called the Forum and went to Anthropology. Then on our way back we decided to drive down by the beach and go to the Panikain (a local coffee shop). By now it was around 5:30 ish, but we still had some time before 2011 finally arrived. So we decided to go driving we went and watched the ocean for a while. Around 7ish we were getting hungry so we ventured over to Coco's randomly and we got free bread and a side of vegetables...But as we walked in the man who was about to seat us says "Lauren?" asking me if that was who I was, I was taken so off guard and confused. The rest of the meal was more uncomfortable our waitress was just kinda strange and Nicole and i decided she didn't like us.

New Years Eve Dinner!

 Finally time was passing and it was around 9 when Nicole remembered a girl from her church was having a party, and before I knew it we were there. Just to fill you in (There is this guy named Luke who in high school I always thought he was cute. But I never talked to him before. But now over three years later I don't find him quite as intriguing although now he talks to me alot on Facebook, and over texting but not in person. I don't respond a ton, just because a relationship should not be just on the Internet.) Any who, he was also randomly at this party for new years. Nicole and I really didn't know anyone but each other and a few others so we were awkwardly there, but Luke did not even say a thing in person! Which personally to me seems childish or wimpy. Its not that I like the guy, I just find it weird that I don't even know the kid. Well the night went on and I just socialised and as we all brought in the new year we cheered and drank sparkling cider. Wanting to leave as soon as possible we headed for the door. So as we were leaving he (Luke) shouts out after I walked past him in a group of people "Hi Sophie" really fast and short almost a mumble. Over the music I said hello as I was walking out the door. Then Nicole and i got in the car, we just looked at each other and laughed at out super fun, awkward, strange eventful night that ended a wonderful year! Goodbye 2010
