Meanwhile at UCLA...

I'm procrastinating during finals week. Only three more weeks until Christmas! That is crazy. I've procrastinated a lot this quarter with schoolwork but I've also done a lot of things I wanted to do and kept up other commitments.

Good luck, wherever you are, with whatever you have to get done before the holidays. It will all be fine.

Friday's Quotable Post

I did something differently this time, and took a few quotes from randomly selected Facebook friends' "Favorite Quotations." I like them!

"I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life would have been like if I'd just been myself." 
- Jacqueline Kennedy

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell

"If you've no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain." -Saadi

Quotable Friday's Post

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou

Beautiful quote. Please listen to the new song I've posted. It's sung in Portuguese, but I really like it.

Congratulations to everyone who is graduating this week and next. It seems impossible that a year has elapsed since my high school graduation. Only four days left of school, six days until Disneyland, and nine days until I'm home in Spreckels.

Apology

For the lack of posting. I have a busy schedule! Last night was Spring Sing at UCLA, a really wonderful annual concert that was so much fun. I'm going to a bonfire tonight, and hopefully to the Getty Museum tomorrow. 

I recently saw Best Coast perform live, and they were really great.

 Listen:

"Boyfriend" by Best Coast

"When I'm With You" by Best Coast

Only three more weeks until I'm home again for the summer. Of course, I'm anxiously anticipating the end of homework and finals and seeing all my friends (especially since the semester has ended for many already), but it's bittersweet. This is the last time I'll live in this building and it will mean that my freshman year is over. Wow.
