Trips to Paradise

I can’t wait for this summer to finally be here! I graduate in only 2 months with a bachelors in Media Studies and I’m so excited, so impatient and most importantly….. Caught the itis. This has been the hardest semester with taking Interactive Motion Graphics and Website Design. For those wondering what in the world Interactive Motion Graphics is, it’s when you use Adobe Flash to animate text or characters. Now don’t get me wrong, the classes are interesting but having to use code means paying very close attention to detail. Something I’m terrible at! Any how, do you guys remember playing with the codes for MySpace? I can remember playing with boarders or altering the text to make it custom and now to think that it’s something our society pretty much needs is so beyond me! But at the same time it’s the coolest thing you could learn and really utilize which is why I’m so into the classes.

Next post will give you all a peak inside my everyday college classes so you can really see the projects we get to work on.

CATALINA 2016

For Valentine’s Day, my boyfriend treated me to a trip to Catalina Island and it was amazing!

It’s this little tiny island approximately 8 miles long filled with the most warm-hearted & warm welcoming residents/community. Catalina is considered part of Los Angeles, California and you can actually see it from my school! It’s the coolest thing to wake up to everyday. There’s so many things to do on the island and me being the adventurer that I am fell even more in love with this place. First thing we did was take a tour of The Casino. No, it’s not an actual casino but the way it operated in the late 1800s early 1900s was as if it did. There would be celebrities at The Casino all the time because the building has the biggest ballroom in the world and sits on a cliff off the ocean. Something else I did was take the Catalina Scenic View tour. The best view was the picture I posted previously but it was also cool to see Mr.Wrigley’s house up close. (Wrigley’s Gum) Mr.Wrigley is the owner of Catalina after the Banning brothers sold it to him. But overall it is such a beautiful island and the perfect mini getaway for us Californians looking to have a good time.

Future Trips

My next trip isn’t until September so I really want to take at least one more trip before that! Any ideas???? My friend who lives in Taiwan suggest I go visit her and country hop to Thailand and Bali of Indonesia. Thought that was such a good idea because I’ve always wanted to be up close and personal with wild animals and most importantly want to give back to these less fortunate country in any way possible. Then there’s my friend who wants to do Puerto Rico for her birthday. Any suggestions about that country? I’ve been wanting to go for some time now and thought this would be the perfect opportunity. Maybe even a cruise! Those are always fun. But one thing I do know is that I’m long over due in this country we call Land of the free and want to find another one to love.
