Luckily, I'm finally done with my pre-Spring Break preparations. I am done with my papers, homework, classwork, presentations, artwork, extra art projects, my last day of work for the week is done...it feels so GOOD! And it looks simply marvelous outside today...it's a balmy 34 degrees but the sun is shining and the sky is perfectly light blue--or celeste. I'm teaching myself Italian in preparation for my summer trip to Italy. (: Its called Instant Immersion and its AMAZING--just like Rosetta Stone, but like $30 as opposed to $600.
So...that paper I was working on and drafting, and drafting, and drafting...and drafting...got accepted for Honor's Day! It was so much work, I was really glad that someone actually read it besides me. After it was accepted, I had to work on my presentation--thirty minutes seems like a long time until you have to present a ten page paper! But I rehearsed it and wrote my speech and made my powerpoint. Phew, it was so much work but on the actual day, it went so well! My day started at 8:45am with Alpha Chi inductions--its the top 10%, and you have to have a 3.75 gpa or greater, which apparently I do. Great! Turns out I get the honor of serving as Treasurer on the executive board next year! I got to see four other presentations for Honor's Day too! One was the winner of the highest award--the Deans Award-- then two on art and one on the veiling of Muslim women. It was superb to see how much work we all put into it and to be recognized for it--its a great feeling! Heres a video from my presentation!
Two days ago, my friends Carly and William came over to Astoria and we played with makeup--this was Williams creation:
I've also been working on a project for William's very belated birthday and I finally finished (see below)! One more thing to check off of my to-do list!
Last night, I sang for the praise team again at my church in Astoria. Lately I've been working on Sundays so I haven't been able to go to the morning service--but I got to sing last night and it was so fun! We checked out La Papa (also in Astoria) afterward and apparently, Barack Obama comes quite often. (:
Have a good spring break--be safe and come visit NYC! I'm off to South Carolina, where I used to live, for a nice, relaxing beach vacay...see ya!
