Party time! Excellent! Whoowowoowoooo!

I'm here on a Saturday night sitting in bed switching between Wayne's World and Can't Hardly Wait. Both AWESOME movies. I need to wake up early tomorrow and study away for my Concepts of Biology and my Spanish Linguistics class. I really wanted to go surfing tomorrow morning, but I have a feeling there won't be any surf, like today.

I'll leave you with a funny PostSecret from this week.

I dreamed a dream...

So, I've recently fallen in love with this children's choir from NYC. They have their own blog at ps22chorus.blogspot.com/

Here is a YouTube of them singing "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay.



AND... Speaking of awesome singing YouTube's... Susan Boyle from the UK is AWESOME!

Here is her singing "I Dreamed a Dream" on Britain's Got Talent



Peace & Love

busy, busy, busy

So, I have been super busy this quarter with a full load of classes and extracurriculars. It has been kind of nice though being so involved.

I am currently an intern for a program at UCSB called Kids In Nature (KIN). We go on science related field trips to local spots with underrepresented and at-risk 5th graders from the Santa Barbara area. Last week we spent time at the REEF (Research Experience and Educational Facility) at the Marine Science Institute. So far I have really been enjoying my time with the kids.

In addition, I am serving as a UCSB Sustainability Ambassador. Throughout the year we are being educated on public speaking, sustainability, and the steps UCSB is taking to become a leader in sustainable development. I am going to be giving a 40 minute lecture for the other Kids In Nature interns about sustainability on Tuesday. Wish me luck!

I have also been chosen by the Kids In Nature coordinators to give a 5 minute presentation in March to UCSB's Academic Senate regarding the KIN program. This is a pretty big honor and I am stoked that they chose me.

Just some updates on my life right now...
