4 more weeks until SUMMER!!
I can’t believe summer break is almost here! This semester has gone by so fast! I will be flying back home to CA and spending the whole summer in good ol’ Sactown! : ) I can’t wait to see my family and my friends from high school! This is going to be an awesome summer. I will be going to the Bay Area often because that’s where my aunt lives and then my friends and I were thinking of taking a road trip to Santa Cruz. I’ve never been there and I heard that their beaches are gorgeous!!
So this week has been crazy with exams and homework…I’m really tired and I just can’t wait until this semester is over, but that only means that finals are coming! Not fun. So I have papers to write for 2 of my classes and I haven’t even started on them; I don’t even know what topic I’m going to write about! I’m being such a procrastinator lately. Oh well, at least they’re due by the end of the semester so I have enough time to get them completed as long as I don’t keep procrastinating!
It’s almost Friday! This weekend is going to be nice because I am finally going to visit my aunt. I’m such a bad niece. I have been so busy over the past several weekends with UMBC Ambassador stuff and studying and going to fun UMBC events like Quadmania…..so I haven’t been able to visit her since spring break. It’s the perfect weekend to visit her too because my cousin from Utah is coming for the weekend so I get to see him as well! I totally need this break….I love living on campus but it’s nice to have a change of scenery once in a while. Oh and I finally get to take all my winter clothing and store it at my aunt’s house and I bring back my summer clothes and flip flops! I have wanted to wear flip flops so bad this week since the weather is so nice but I don’t have any with me at the moment but I will definitely have them next week!
All right, I better stop thinking about summer break/this weekend and go to sleep! Buenas noches!
LOMO SALTADO!!!
Ok, so all of you can probably tell by now that I love Peruvian food….Well, I actually cooked Lomo Saltado yesterday!! Lomo Saltado is a dish made with beef, onions, tomatoes, and red peppers all cooked together with soy sauce, vinegar, and salt. Fried potatoes are then added and it is served with rice. It’s my favorite peruvian dish!
My friend Aileen has wanted to try Peruvian food for a while and we decided to cook dinner at her apartment yesterday. I asked my aunt and grandma for the recipe and then we went to Giant to get the ingredients. Anyways, I am so happy because I actually cooked something and it didn’t turn out that bad! Well, I can’t take all the credit, my friend was the one who did all the chopping of the vegetables which is a lot of work. I have never really cooked a complete dish all by myself so this is a big deal for me!
Oh and just in case you were wondering, my friend liked the dish! : )
Harbor, here I come!
So I have been living in Chesapeake this year. It wasn’t my first choice but it has been nice. It really took me a while to get used to having a roommate. Since I’m an only child I am used to having my own room but it was a great experience. My roommate and everyone on my floor is super nice! Even though living with a roommate has been fun, I decided that I would like to live in a single room next school year. I just got my housing assignment today for the next school year and I got my single in Harbor! So excited! : )
I can’t believe that this semester is almost done! Time goes by so fast. Now I am just counting down the days until summer break!
