Internship


When going to internship I know that my professional skills will be the first skill that I will have to showcase to my best ability. Mainly,due to all the co-workers and managers I will be meeting. Anticipating going to my internship; not knowing where I'm going but anxious to get there, I have one question. "What will I be learning at the internship." Everyday I wonder what new stuff I will learn that I haven't been taught at Yearup.
I still Think about where I will be going as much as anyone else, but I hope I still have a professional environment to work in. The feeling of a professional environment makes the job feel so much more important.
Hoping that I do get hired on after my internship, I'm not banking on it. If I'm not hired on, I plan to go back to school full time and find a job full time. So I can finish pursuing my my career in IT.

LA living

For new years, I went to Los Angeles to be with my closest friends. Ive been to LA about 5 times in my lifetime, and every time I'm there,I have the time of my life. This Being my first time in LA for a holiday, we didn't do much. Just being together for the first time in months made it that much more fun. Since the Rosebowl going on in Pasadena; which was were I was staying, there were a bunch of activities going on. So for the first time being together with my closest friends and also all being 21 made all the events even better.

Christmas with the Burtons

My father had to work on Christmas day for the first time, knowing that we had to go to Sacramento this year to see the rest of my family, we didnt end up going to Sacramento until 6 that evening. Once we arrived to my Aunts house in Sacramento everyone's facial expressions weren't too inviting. Come to find out, everyone was waiting for us to arrive so they could eat. Having not eaten a big festive meal in months, I anticipated the moment I got to sit at the big table and fill my plate with as much as food possible. Once I did that, I ate more than half of my plate until I realized I was not Capable of eating anymore. The moment I knew I was done I filled my plate once again, and packed it to go. As I looked around the room everyone had the same plan which caused chaos in the kitchen.

Christmas Day

This was my first Christmas without a Christmas tree. It's been a big part of my family bonding to decorate the tree. The family and I agreed that it left a small part of emptiness in our hearts, and took away a large part of our holiday spirit. The only reason we weren't able to get a tree this year was due to the fact that we were moving into our new home. I'm positive that we will never go another year without a tree, at least we won't while I'm still living there.
