I'm a huge baseball fan, so not being able to go to the Dodgers' home opener was a huge bummer considering I have gone for the past three years. It actually took me a while to go to my first game of the season because the Dodgers' 2nd home stand wasn't for a while, but when I did go, it reminded me why I love the sport so much. I went to my second game, a Clayton Kershaw bobblehead night, a few days later as well. I saw something a few days ago, can't remember who it was by, but it said something along the lines of how baseball isn't just about all the big plays that happen, but rather the details and knowing the significance of the smaller parts that make the game exciting, and I found that to be so true. People probably find going to baseball games with me boring because I zone in so much. I really appreciate every aspect of the game, and I rarely find games boring. Sure, some games may be slow and some might find a game that is 0-0 boring, but I find excitement in that. It's definitely hard to go to games now when I'm trying to save up money to travel, but here's to an exciting 2014 baseball season!
Earlier this month marked the end of my first semester of senior year. I'm in the class of 2015, but I am a semester ahead in units, so rather than finishing in May 2015, I'll be done with school forever in December 2014! It was definitely a lot more work than fall semester, and a lot less exciting. It's a bit sad to think about fall semester because while abroad, all of us from LMU were so close, living together, but back at LMU, we're all back to our group of friends and we rarely, if ever, see each other. One of my best friends studied abroad in London in the fall as well, and since we are both Communication Studies majors, we had multiple classes together. I could not be any more thankful for that because I'm not sure if I would have survived without her in those classes. Our school has 'convo' every Tuesday/Thursday from 12:15-1:35, and it's crazy to think that LMU's last convo on the school year was our last convo together since she's only coming to school Monday/Wednesdays next semester while I'm on campus Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Who would have known that orientation and the Jonas Brothers would bring us so close?
LMU's graduation was this past Saturday, and I went because one of my best friends was graduating. Crazy to think that four years has passed since I went to her high school graduation. And it made me realize I will be done with school in 7 short months, and will be walking in less than a year. The future and its uncertainty scares me, but I am excited to be done with school soon.
And now, here we are, first full week of summer. It's blazing hot here in LA right now. I got to go to a Sound Clash taping, a new VH1 show, in which Ed Sheeran, Grouplove, and Sia performed. Next Tuesday, I'm going to the taping for The Voice finale in which Ed Sheeran, OneRepublic, Tim McGraw, and Coldplay are performing. I'm applying for summer internships and looking for summer jobs, because hey, I want to travel and I need to make some money. Here's to hoping something works out for me.
xx,
Aya
