I believe that 2010 was a really good year for me. I have learned a lot of thing this year and I really feel like I have grown. And I must say that a lot of that has to directly do with my boyfriend of 4 1/2 years and me breaking up.
Of course I was really sad when it happened but now I have had time to think and grow and I realize that I am much happier in the last few months than I have been in years.
This last month for me has been particularly crazy. My family moved. We still live in Houston but a new house that is closer for the rest of it. It is smaller and I have to share a room with my sister now but I love it here. It is so pretty and I could not have asked for a better house to live in.
I received a Kindle as my Christmas present from my parents and I love it. I pretty much carry it around with me everywhere I go. I was really against them for the longest time because they are going to kill the written book one day but I must say that now I am a huge fan of them.
I have also made a bunch of videos and you can view them here if you wish.
I have had such a great year so I cannot wait to see what 2011 brings.
Love ya,

PS. I know this sounds like everyone else blog post about the year but I really wanted to blog about something today and what else but the year itself.

So Blah
I really hate nights like this. It is Friday night and I am sitting in my room so bored. I really just want to do something. It is not like there is no one here to hang out. It is one of those things were nobody wants to compromise on what they want to do. Everyone is so set on what they want to do so they do not even want to hear what other people want to do. It is just really pissing me off. So here I am on Friday night with nothing to do.
Love ya,

In the Last Month
So what have I done in the last month? Let us see.
-I freaking wrote a novel. I wrote 50,334 words for it and finished on the last day. I really did not thinkt that I was going to finish but I wrote like a mad person during Thanksgiving break and finished just in time.
-My family bought a new house and we are moving into in two weeks. I pretty excited because my room has this little nook which is going to be my reading area. That is so exciting.
-I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and had very little complaints about it. It is my favorite so far and I cannot wait for part 2 to come out.
-I stopped talking to the ex for about two weeks but he has somehow been able to wiggle his way back into texting me everyday with me responding. I really need to stop texting him back again.
-Ate a ton of food. So. Much. Food.
That is pretty much all that I can think of right now. I was thinking about something earlier and that is why I wanted to blog right now. When I first started this blog in January, one of the frist things I wrote about was how I wanted to go and live in London for a year. Now I am not going there for a year but I am going for about two weeks in May so I think that is pretty awesome.
The only thing is I am probably not going to bring my laptop so I will be without the internet for the most while over there. So any videos or blogs will have to come later so it will not be as good play-by-play action as I would want. Oh, well.
Love ya,

Happy November
Well it is November, which mean it is time for NaNoWriMo. This is my first year trying and things went well for today.I wrote over 3000 words today. Let's just see how well I am doing next week.
So I kind of want to say I am sorry for how much I have sucked at writing blog posts lately. Basically the last month of my life has pretty much sucked hard core. I feel better about it so I have no problem sharing it with you strangers. I was dating this one guy for the last four and half years. Everything was going pretty good for us until he randomly tells me that he wants to take a break. So that sucked because early that night he had told me how he loves me. Then the next day, I found out that he is now dating someone else.
Yeah so that was really pretty rough. It has been getting better for me. I have been trying to go out and have some fun with my friends more. I really think that helps cause it forces me to get out of my room and be with people. There is nothing I can do to get over him right away but I am trying. We shall see how it all turns out.
Love ya,

Hello There
Hi everyone. I just felt like I need to write a blog post.
I am so very excited to be going to Europe this summer. I have never been so I cannot wait. I have always want to go to London and I finally get to. I think what I really I am excited for is buying Galaxy chocolate and the British version of Harry Potter.
I really do not know what else to blog about. I am doing NaNoWriMo this year. I also made a new video today basically talking about what has been going on in my life lately. So enjoy those if you want.
Love ya,
Christina

Here Comes the Complaining
I know, I know. I am trying to be more positive but here I am again complaining.
Basically, for one of my classes, we have to come up with a creative way to present to the class what our group has picked for the five characteristics of an effective teacher. We were put into groups based on what grade levels we want to teach. Which means that the other people in my group want to teach the younger children.
All of the other groups are talking about doing sketches and other fun ideas like that. This one lady (and I do mean lady; she is much older than everyone else in the class) wants to do a power point. The rest of us are thinking no way because we want to do something creative so we can get a good grade. The rest of us then decide that we want to make a video of our own version of Dora the Explore.
I told everyone that I have a camera that I can use and I can edit it together. I then pull out my camera because I had it with me. The lady then tells me that my camera with be ineffective for our project. A BRAND NEW HD CAMERA IS INEFFECTIVE?!?!?! That makes no sense to me at all.
We then start to assign parts to everyone. One girl is to play Dora, three people are ineffective teachers and one is the effective teacher. Those of us that are playing the ineffective teachers said what we are going to do that will make us look bad. She then says that we all need to go to the YouTubes to find a link on how to be a bad teacher. I mean really now? I think that part is really easy.
Then she made a big deal about filming. The majority of us can meet on one day and she cannot. We told her that we will film all our parts that day and she can film her part another day. She got mad at us for not all filming on the same day. We had already told her what we are going to do.
She then kept going on and on about how we need this poster board with a heart on it so that Dora could pick that one. We were kind of like ok. Then she still kept talking about that heart.
Then on top of that, she still wants to do a powerpoint presentation to go over exactly what we are going to do in the video.
Someone please save me. This all happened in about 30 minutes. Pretty much no one wants to work with her now in our group.
Love ya,
Christina

So Much Reading
I love the fact that I am an education major. I cannot wait to get into the classroom and start teaching. I know that is where I am suppose to be and that is where I want to be but first I have to go through school.
There are some definite perks to being an education major. The first one is the lack of tests. All of my friends are complaining about all the tests that they have this week and next week. Normally I would be right there with them but not this semester. It seems so strange to me that they are having tests already. I feel like school just started but this is our fourth week.
My first test that I have is a midterm in October. Which means I have about a month until then. That gives me lots of time to start studying (yeah right). I guess I feel so disconnected from the rest of the university because the school of education is very exclusive. Only education majors can take these classes.
On the other hand, I have so much reading to do for all of my classes. As soon as I think I am done, there is more to be read. As much as I love to read, this is not my reading of choice. It is interesting but it's not something most people would read for fun. I guess that is the trade off I get for not having any tests. I at least feel like I did not read as much in my classes before.
Love ya,
Christina
