Back to School

The last minute vacation my parents threw together was amazing and I'm glad I was able to visit Heart Castle and Monterey Aquarium. However, the time has finally arrived and by tomorrow morning I will have moved in to my new apartment in USD. I'm very excited to get back and see all of my friends and ask them about their summers. It also will enable me the chance to look at all the changes USD has been surrounded by ever since my last final in May. I'm looking forward to getting back on the horse and starting classes once again. My schedule looks great and from what I've gathered from ratemyprofessor.com, every single one of my professors are awesome and earnest educators. I've set several goals for myself this semester and I'm looking forward to fulfilling each and every one of those.

Although summer is coming to an end, I really have to say that this has been one of the best summers I've had. I was able to accomplish so many things: getting my driver's license, amazing 6 week summer film course at USC, and travel around the California coastline with my parents. I will sure miss staying up at late and sleeping at an obscene hour and hanging out with Louis and Aaron but, I know its time for me to return to school and do some real damage in the classroom as well as DJ'ing and writing.

One Week Until School

I've anxiously been awaiting for school to start for quite some time. The hoopla of my summer, which included working for my parent's company and attending a 6 week summer film course at USC, has tailed off a bit and now I'm just counting down the days until my sophomore year begins. Thankfully, I will be going on a vacation with my parents that will take me to Santa Barbara, Monterrey, and San Francisco. The time spent will undoubtedly unwind any thoughts I've had lurking inside and also be a great way to spend my last week of summer. This particular summer has been one of the greatest summers I've had but, I'm itching to get back to college and reenergize myself and focus my attention towards improving my grades but also, hanging out with my friends whom I've been away from for 3 months. As my mother always says, "The best years of your life are spent on a college campus", and with only 3 years left, I'm going to make the most out of my experience as a student here at USD.

Sophomore year will be an improvement nonetheless on all fronts, both socially and academically. I'm extremely looking forward to hosting my own radio show (Lyrical Mindstate) and writing for the USD Vista. It will be a jam packed semester with me taking 5 classes and as well as juggling USD Radio and Vista at the same time. However, I find these things to my enjoyment and I'm very passionate about both of these endeavors. On an academic side, I'm looking to boosting my GPA and working harder to better myself in school but also in life, given that opportunities are attained with good grades but also, personality and how you communicate with others. In all, I can't wait to inhale the musky air that is the University of San Diego and everything it offers me to succeed in my field of study.
