So May was pretty hectic...every weekend I always had something to do. This past May 6th I turned 23! I was supposed to have this nice get together party at the Standard Hotel but unfortunately things didn't go as planned but despite that I ended up having some fun anyways at Tipper's new casa. Got to play the High School Musical video game and blow out my birthday candles with some great friends and my love. The following weekend was spent first with Tipper's surprise birthday party at his casa then Universals Studios at the end of the weekend. Got my first taste of King Taco! Then the weekend after that we celebrated Michelle's birthday at Falcon Lounge in Hollywood and that Sunday me and my love took a mini trip to Solvang, CA and Ventura. It was a nice change to go there and just take in the sights. Of course the following weekend was my brother's high school graduation. It was really emotional for me to see him get his diploma..seems like only yesterday that I was walking him to his first day of kindergarten. How time flies by huh? He's off to UC Irvine this fall!
Just this past weekend me and my love went to Kiran's birthday and was just amazed that a year ago we were doing the same thing. Still can't believe all that has happened in my life in just a year.
Well I'm in the home stretch but not really. I just found out the department chair will not grant me exception in order to take my senior thesis this summer therefore I won't be able to be done until the fall. Fortunately though I will still be able to walk this coming Friday! I have my cap, gown, and honor cords ready for the big day. Even though I won't be done I'd still want to do the whole ceremony. What's the point of working hard all these years just to not go through that special ceremony at the end?
I feel that right now God is giving me so many trials in my life. Should I see those trials as blessings or things not worth going through? I've always taught myself to see everything that comes at me as blessings or at a point try to. But in the face of adversity I sometimes do wonder. It's difficult. It's even painful. But in the end? It's essentially a test of faith. I know that it will make me stronger and that's the biggest hope I could ever have.
