Last Post For My Blogosphere Identity Class

My goal for the year was to learn to stand up on a surf board and to ride a wave.  Unfortunately I did not complete that goal.  HOWEVER, I have completed many other things that I never would have completed with out having that goal.  Because of my goal:

I made friends with a wonderful, positive girl named Lizzie

Making friends with Lizzie also tied in with me meeting another girl named Lindsay

I learned how to longboard fast and even make turns without falling

I actually got on a surf board and body surfed many waves

I exercised more to get in better shape in order to improve on my surfing

I went out with some other good friends to go surfing which resulted in some good bonding time

And, most importantly, I had an enjoyable and positive experience.

Even though this class is ending, I am not giving up on my goal.  I WILL stand up on a surf board and ride a wave.  

I had a wonderful time with all of you in Blogosphere Identity class.  I feel like I got to know each and every one of you so much better and I really enjoyed going to all of the drama productions.  I hope all of you had a successful year and I am sure we will all keep in touch and remember each other!  Thank you all for a wonderful year!  

Work

Wow, I am sure everyone can understand how much work I have been getting. 

 Especially since it is so close to finals. 

 I have so many tests and papers due it is not even funny. 

 I have not been able to get out surfing (or even to the beach) in so long! 

 I am going to focus on my finals right now... 

I truly dislike all the work I have been getting but I honestly do believe that I have had a very successful year.

HAPPY EASTER

I just wanted to wish every body from my blogosphere Identity class a great big

 HAPPY EASTER

Jet Ski

Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.

Sorry, I saw this on stumbleupon.com and thought it was cute and cool because it was in the shape of a tree... and Im pretty much addicted to that site.   Anyway, I REALLY need to get out and go surfing or go out and paddle because I have really been putting it off!!  On another note . . . You know what another fun water sprot besides surfing is?  

Jet skiing!!

I went jet skiing with my best friend Andrew over Spring Break and i COMPLETELY forgot to blog about it!   It was so enjoyable!  We went to a hotel that rented jet skis and decided to rent one together.  We had to take a test in order to ride one (something new they just started because I never had to take a test to ride a jet ski before).  So now, Andrew and I are proud owners of a one year boating license!  We went out into the ocean and jet skied for a good 2 hours!  We made friends with so many people who were on other boats and jet skis.  It was so much fun and I cannot wait to do it again!  We plan on going again before the end of the year, so I will be sure to blog about it!

Sick :(

So I have been sick all week and I just got better on thursday so I have no had much to write about this week.  It really is a horrible thing to get sick in college, especially when you have many papers do and a big presentation do in Blogosphere Identity Class!  I was well enough on Friday to participate in Relay For Life, though... it was SO much fun.  I was with the Education Team that had a theme for Dr. Seuss.  It was very enjoyable walking around to all of the tents and buying things that I knew all the money would be donated to charity.  I played Relay golf and I danced and walked the track with Dan.  I even sang Oops I Did It Again during Karaoke with my friend Stephen.  I danced all night long and I was SO happy that I was not sick anymore because I had a blast from 6pm till 4:30am! 

Beach&Friends

Yesterday, I went to the beach with John and Russell for some good quality blog class bonding!  It was so enjoyable.  We all frolicked in the sun and talked about our blogs.  We went swimming and made some friends who go to FAU.  There were no waves what so ever so I was unable to surf. However,  John and I both attempted to skim board.  John actually did pretty well!  I, however, did not...  Russell has footage that he might post on his blog or show to our blog class on monday.  It was an awesome day!

Beach Run

Yesterday I went to the beach and, unfortunately, I did not have a surf board with me.  

I decided that I would go for a run on the beach.

I went later on in the day which was nice because the sand wasn't hot and there weren't too many people on the beach.

I ran all the way down spanish rive beach right along the water.  I ran at a nice pace so I didn't get too tired too fast.  

It was very relaxing just going for a slog jog down the beach.  

I felt at peace with the world.  

The water kept creeping up over my feet and I loved it.

It felt refreshing and soothing at the same time.

I did not have my cell phone on me so I did not have to worry about anything going on.

I was only thinking about the ocean and my inner self.

I felt as if I belonged there.

By the end of my run, I felt revived and refreshed.

I am hoping to go surfing this weekend with Lizzie, hopefully sunday.

I need to get back in my surfing groove.  

I love the water and I love FL.

I have a feeling I will love it even more if I enjoy it to its fullest by going surfing.
