No trespassing
















TODAY has been beautiful.

It had the worrrst start. I woke up early to study for my voice midterm, and I mean really, who likes to wake up early? I love my voice lesson but it's only one credit and a lot to memorize on top of the 20 other songs I have between two choirs, so lets just say, I wasn't ready. But it went okay. I managed to somehow get the words out and make coherent french sentences. Si mes vers ont eu des ailes....Then I went to Oceans... WOOOH... (Plankton from Spongebob is classified as a Copepod, who knew?)
What really made my morning bad was just some disappointing news that I won't be able to see my boyfriend tomorrow, we were planning on meeting at the Getty. I wont get to see him for like a trillion more dayyyyyssss (next tuesday! Haha!)
Waaaaahhh !!!
It's hard being away from home, its hard missing people, "long distance" (even if it's only 2 hours) is hard.

That's not to say that we can't do it, because we can, we are and we will. But its just hard. I'm just sooo ready for spring breeeeak AHHHHH !!!

What turned today around was meeting with the campus pastor, and just talking. About everything, but with no direction, just taaalking. She's really awesome, and it was just what I needed.
Then while I was walking back to my room I noticed what a nice day it was outside (how easily we overlook these things and take them for granted, right?) and I thought hey maybe Id like to stay outside today.
Wednesdays are really cool for me because I have a 4 hour break in between classes. Haahaha.
















SO I put on tennis shoes and decided to venture out farrrr beyond the confines of West Residence Hall, into the hills, up to (dun dun dunnnnnnnn.....) THE CROSS!!(Its actually part of CLU property and its like a 30 minute walk.. hike? but it's really cool, it's up on the hill with the CLU rocks, which are currently painted a hideous yellow color)
Im so glad I went today. I was like... birds? Lizard?? Flowers?? Wind??? Air???? What is all thisss????
And it was beauuutifullllll up there. I used to go a lot last year, just as a work out kind of and then I would run back down, but I always stopped at the cross. But today I prayed a little bit and I reflected. And it was gooooooood.
It was so awesome to just sit and clear my head and watch some birds fly around and look at the view.
Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God" I just needed a quiet reminder like that =D


I also found a new path! I mean I had seen it before but I never walked that way, so I went up therrrre, I decided I wanted to go to the highest point on the next hill. Soo I headed that way.
There were a bunch of cacti, it kind of looked like the thicket of thorns that Simba falls into... yeaknow?
I walked until I found a "No trespassing" sign...
Then I stepped over it and trekked onward.
And I was glad I did that, hahahaa. Its not really important enough to make it my title but uh yeeeah, Im keeping it.
I want to go to Malibu Creek State Park soooon, maybe next time Sara and Jav come see mee! Yes??

Anyway then the rest of my day was normalllll. I went to choir and work and now Im watching a movie. I CANT WAIT TILL SPRING BREAKKKKKKK, come quiiiiiiick, thaanks!!!

The end.

NYYOU
