School got out for me on May 24 and I've been spending my quality time switching from my everyday school routine to that of my summer one where I stay up all night and sleep all day...I think there's a song with lyrics like that or something. It's escaping me. Oh well. Since I have a but load of free time I've come to find that I really don't do a whole lot. I mean most of the time I'm on Literotica reading online romance novels...or listening to the audio books. That really is basically all I do....oh, and since I don't have an mp3 player or anything similar I also listen to music on you tube.
What a sad lowly existence. Anyway, I kind of wanted to post random pictures and stuff, but now I kind of don't want to. Sorry, your just stuck with plain boring text and the sound of my writing "voice" to keep you company. I am really excited for Senior year! I can't wait because after that it's COLLEGE! I've wanted to go to college since i was in 7th grade and did a research project on UC Berkeley. I am currently deciding where to apply to...
UC Berkeley
UC Berkeley or Cal is located in its namesake city near Oakland, California. The picture above is of Sprowl plaza across from the student union. In the background is the iconic bell tower. I went to a Berkeley football game during homecoming a few years back where they were playing Oregon State and it had a lasting impression on me. When we drove through the city to get to the campus I just remember thinking that this couldn't be a college...it was such a colorful, lively and fun environment. I knew by looking at all the shops and stores that this was a place I could be. Then at the game the atmosphere was so full of energy. Being a seasoned High school vet looking back on the experience, I know that homecoming can be a very fun yet stressful time...especially if your on any homecoming committee's or doing event planning.
Since that monumental trip was taken I have since fallen deeply, no...MADLY in love with Berkeley and its History Program. They offer diversity in the courses they offer so you cover different subject matter, time periods and regions of the world. No other college I've looked at have had the type of catalog that Cal has. Not only do they offer many different courses, but they also teach a wide range of foreign languages
As a history major I would like to be able to at the very least read,if not speak, Greek, Arabic and Latin. These are just so I could be able to read primary sources of different time periods and not have to rely on translations. If i could master speaking them as well that would be a great advantage for me as well. For languages I would like to learn just because would be the three romance languages(i.e French, Italian and Spanish), German, Japanese and possibly Swahilli or Russian. I might be out of my mind for thinking I can learn all of these languages, but I'm damn sure going to try : )
Well I was going to mention the other schools but after I saw how much I wrote for the Berkeley entry I think its pretty clear which school is my first pic ; ). But i'll be nice and post links to my safety schools in the order of where i would go if my #1 pick (Cal) didn't want me *sad face*
- Mills College - Oakland, California (sorry boys, but this is a women's college)
- Claremont McKenna - Claremont, California (co-ed, but don't know too much about it...its website is kind of a barren landscape of blahness)
- Sac State - Sacramento, California (this is too close to home, but if nobody else wants me, this is my cop out option : (
I think I've made up for my long delay with my long ass post. Now that I don't have anything to do, maybe I'll try to post everyday or every other day at the least...hell who am i kidding...I'll just start with once a week and see how that goes.
until nest time cyber readers,
The Lovely Eva Mack
