I’m procrastinating on doing my French 102 (first college level is 101 so I’m second semester) homework so I thought I’d write a blog to feel less… “guilty” about it… *cough*
The last day of school this semester is 12th May 2008. On 19th May I start my summer semester. That’s right- no break for me this year! Here’s my schedule from 19th May to 11th August.

I’m not sure when the fall 2008 semester starts, but I’m guessing it’s a week or so after the summer on ends. (I’m assuming that since I have a week between spring and summer semesters.)
In a few months, I have to apply for transfer to a 4- year university. (I think I’ve mentioned already that I’m in a community college right now…) The one I want to go to is Virginia Commonwealth University. I’m sure I can get into it but the question is… can I qualify for the Photography program? You have to send in a portfolio (which I won’t actually be doing until fall 2009, probably) and grades to qualify. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me because if I don’t, I have no idea what I’m going to do. 
PS: Happy Earth Day! 
Saturday, 12 April 2008 was my 3rd time going to the Japanese street festival known as Sakura Matsuri. Every year my time there gets progressively better and they get more crowded. I know it’s all those damn tourists. I suppose they’re “good for the economy” but they sure are annoying. 
I thought I’d show you some pictures I took (but please also check here and here for more pictures as well!) of the things I got. Check below the cut 
Whoa, what’s with the new layout here for WordPress? They’ve changed things and I’m confused. 
Anyways, I thought I’d make a quick post & share with you the dirtiness that is Gael’s house. This house is actually his dad’s. His dad moved in with with my (ex?) aunt when they got married. (If you’ve forgotten, Gael’s dad met my mother’s brother’s ex- wife at church about a year ago and they got married in July 2007.) This house hasn’t been cleaned in probably… 3 or 4 years (Gael’s mom passed away a few years ago and there were only boys living here- with the exception of Gael who was in Norfolk in the Navy until early July 2007).
Anyways, since we’ve started going out (8 months on 6 April! 
) I’ve been helping him clean the house. It’s difficult to get a whole lot done what with being really busy with school and me running around trying to find a job (that’s right, I’m still looking for a job 
). A few weeks ago I was doing the dishes when I noticed the door to the backyard next to me. It was horrific. Covered in dirt and God- knows- what. Here’s some pictures I took:
