Hello, Spring Break!

As of 11:00 AM today, I have officially completed Winter Quarter of my Junior year at UCI. It sounds and looks weird to see that. Junior year. College has gone by so fast and I'm barely keeping up! It definitely feels good to be done with finals though. If I weren't so tired I'd do a fist pump and shout "YEAH!" right now...but for now, dear reader, you can just imagine me doing that and save us both the trouble.

I've been rearranging, facelifting, and editing my webpage for the Arts 60 class I'm in. I really wish I had a Mac, because working with programs like iWeb and Final Cut Pro have been so much fun...and it would be awesome to be able to fiddle around with these tools whenever I want...not just one or two times a week when I can get access to AITR 190 (the NACS lab we use during class).

So far my website looks pretty different from how it's looked before. It has more of a modern feel to it--simple, but with elements of abstraction and subtle complexity. I like clean lines and straightforwardness in websites, as opposed to the chaos and busy-ness of other websites that confuse me and only make feel lost. Here's a peek at the homepage:



Click on the image, and it'll take you directly to my re-vamped site. I also rearranged the way I had my video clips, so don't forget to check out that section! All of my Arts 60 video projects are featured under the "ARTS SIXTY" link. Some other cool tidbits I put up on the site are an "About Me" section, where I gave a short paragraph of who I am and what I'm all about. Hope you enjoy it, because I sure had a great time working on it!

Now I'm off to take a longggggg nap. If I don't update during Spring Break, I'll definitely catch you up when I get back. Good- bye Blogspot!

Something borrowed, something blue

Today I went to a friend's wedding in Laguna Hills. There are two great things about weddings:

1. Seeing two wonderful people making a public commitment to love each other
2. The food.

This wedding surely did not disappoint, for both #1 and #2. Weddings always making me wonder about the day I'll have a wedding of my own...what my future husband is like...how many kids we'll have, etc. But yeah. The food was definitely something to be remembered :)

I wish I had pictures to show just how extravagant everything was, but basically, it was a Chinese banquet-style dinner. Meaning, 8 courses of delicious Chinese food. EIGHT!! Including the Ferrari of soups, the infamous sharkfin soup. I'm half-asleep from food coma and regular fatigue, so at the moment I can't recall the order of the dishes we ate...but I just remember we had roasted duck, a mushroom and tofu dish, lots of Chinese broccoli, and this really great fish dish breaded and marinated in some kind of sauce. Vague, I know, but that's the best my mind can do right now.

The highlight (after the bride and groom, of course) was the CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN.



I went a little...buckwild with the fountain. But hey, weddings are a time of celebration so why hold back, right?

Anyway. Time to fine-tune my website for my Arts 60 class. I uploaded my final project for the class too. This time, we did a mash-up of media appropriated from other sources. I'll post a link up later!



Again, congratulations you two lovebirds! <3
