First Semester
I can't believe the semester is already over. It's strange, it feels like it went by so quickly, but at the same time it feels like this is all I've known for a while. Coming out here I had no idea how things were going to turn out, I was very excited, but a little nervous at the same time. It was the biggest move I'd ever made in my life, and it has been an adventure from day 1. I've made so many good friends, had so many fun experiences and learned many life lessons. I've discovered so much about myself, seen different sides of myself and expnaded my dreams and ambitions as well as my outlook on life. I feel like I have truly grown up a lot in the past 16 weeks. I've still got a lot of growing up to do, and I'm sure in the semesters and years to come I will. As I have said before, this is an adventure, a journey. It's still an uncertain destination, but what matters is what I do getting there. I am going home for Christmas break soon, and am excited for some down time, but when it's time to come back in January, you better believe I'll be re-charged with the energy of a V-8 engine and ready for ANYTHING!

Favorite Place Addition!
China Town: I have ALWAYS wanted to go to China Town, and not until a little while ago I didn't know Vegas had one! But we do!!! And it's so cute, full of buildings shaped like Pagodas and Asian resteraunts and stores, and there's a big mall with all kinds of fun stores where you can buy fans and kimmonos and fun stuff like that. There's even a pagoda shaped Starbucks, ha! I LOVE IT! and can't wait to go exploring there some more!
Vegas Family Adventures: Hellcab
Troy is directing a show for The Las Vegas Little Theater this holiday season: Hellcab (sounds more like a horror film I know.) And of course he wanted his baby sister at the opening night! :)
Romie picked me up on Friday night to take me to the show. We had flyers we were supposed to hand out...but we didn't know where to go...or what to say LOL, so we didn't. Then we went to LVLT to see Troy before the show. He'd had an actress call in sick the day of so he was rehearsing an understudy...pissy Troy. So Romie and I had a BRILLIANT idea! LVLT is conviently located in China Town, so we decided to get him some Boba Tea...with a little surpirse in it! hehe We went to the Asian market and got some Vanilla vodka, then got some Boba for all of us. Well we got back into the car and the bottle wouldn't open, like seriously WOULDN'T OPEN. Our plans were crushed. Anyway we went back in and gave Troy his tea, told him we had vodka if he could open it..."NO!" haha. Then some of Romie's friends showed up (with the rest of the audience) and the show started. It was really good! Really funny, I was proud of Troy!
Then we went out as Elvis says in soooo many movies "to celebrate!" We went to this bar called Little Macau, it was a really cool place that was decorated really cool. Everyone clapped for Troy when he walked in then he introduced everybody. "Yeah that's my baby sister...she's a drapette." haha We hung out with the cast and chatted for a while about the show, and Christmas, and life, and Romie had had a few drinks...I guess since she couldn't open the vodka haha, and needed some food, so we decided to leave.
We went to this restaurant called "Pho Kim Long" say that 5 times fast! haha. We ate dinner there and chatted some more. Then we headed back to Romie's car and they drove me back to UNLV. This might be the last Vegas Family get together before he end of the semester, but it was so much fun!
