Xmas '07

well i hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season (it's not quite over) but close enough. just wanted to share some of the amazing(ly) cool things i got this time (and stuff im excited about)
here goes:
i got $100 to H&M
a fragrance set from GiorgioArmani Code
super cool wallet from
4 tickets to the MIKA CONCERT IN FEBUARY!!! (i get to bring 2 other friends :] )

and i also got a new phone
kinda excited about that too (mine's in orange)

im in Bend, oregon until the 31
have fun y'all

yesyesYES

so
i havent had the chace to really sit down and tell you about my YES conference experience
besides it being AMAZING i also had a lot of fun

so the speech with brandon and myself went pretty well..it was just about our homecoming experiences and showing the 300+ people there that they can make a difference in their own schools. as an ironic note, i thought it was interesting that before and during the speech that brandon was waaaayy more nervous than i was, and he's the one who performs in front of audiences..idk, not that it's a bad thing, just found it funny

anyways
the rest of the day was very nice
i attended a Gender&Sexuality workshop as well as a SaferSex one too. i also let a discussion period for both Central Valley and SoCal people and also did a workshop with my friends Whitney and Lyla on Anti-Slurs and what you can do in your schools to prevent that sort of stuff.

after that, i helped set up for the dance, and i helped the DJ set up (btw, he was quite funny..he had me make sure the leopard-print table cloth both looked pretty AND seemlessly flowed between the various pieces he had to cover up the music board and stands.. :D )
with amazing music pumping and everyone dancing..it was by far better than the Junior Prom that i was missing that night

i had a LOT OF FUN
i'm so glad i went

wooooo

such blatent advertising

i love ittttt

AAAAAAAHHHHHH

ArtHistory feild trip

so today i went with my arthistory class to SanFrancisco (yet again) to go visit both the Leigon of Honor and the deYoung museums. we took the bus the long way there (across the golden gate bridge) and got to spend a fair amount of time at each place. it was really neat to see works of art that i recognized from the numerous books about our house and see them up close (especially the Picasso with the skull, leeks and pitcher) and i enjoyed the Rodin sculptures at the leigon. the deYoung was a really nice building and was creativly designed.
it was a great experience and i can't wait until our next feild trip in the spring: SF MoMA

photoshootin'

so a while a go my friend Renée took me on a photoshoot to the railroad tracks in good ol' davis and they actually turned out really nicely (i guess the lighting was pretty bad, and a lot turned out blurry)
but i hope you enjoy!

WOOOOOOO!!!

sooo..like i said, i went to SanFrancisco on sunday to attend a GSA Network Youth Council meeting..little did i know that i would be automatically on the board when i walked in! Marco, the director of the council, asked me to be apart of it even before i turned in my application.
i felt pretty special
and everyone was really nice and i felt really confortable being around 12 or so complete strangers.
so we'll see what becomes of it, since ihave to attend a meeting once a mont in SF and i have no other way of getting down there besides paying 35$ for a train ticket
but other than that
i'm pretty stoked
:D

happy worlds AIDS day
