Living in the outdoors

My fall semester is finally coming to an end, and I could say my grades are where I want them to be, but in reality, one of my classes I am very upset with myself.  Other than that, all my other classes are beyond my expectation from my entering the class in August. This week will officially be the end/beginning of semesters and I have had to endure the painfulness of studying 10hrs+ for every class for finals. (It paid off though, so it was worth it!)

As I have been trying to get my focus off from school and more into my life in general, I have been spending the majority of my time with my best friend Hannah.  You could say we are inseparable.  We have recently been going on hikes and exploring places in our beautiful town of Palos Verdes (for those of you who has no idea where that is, it is a small suburb of Los Angeles).  In addition, we are both on our school's sailing team, so we are out on the water 3x a week.  Our coach thinks the two of us are crazy because almost every practice we fall in, but that is the fun part in which no one else understands (the water is freezing too).

Besides sailing and hiking, I have not been traveling that much due to school, except the almost every weekend to Park City, UT which doesn't really count.  I am really looking forward to this upcoming weekend (Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend... so I have Monday off!!!) because my National Charity League group had rented a home in San Diego, and it should be a blast.  The sleep overs always are due to the constant laughter and fun we all share on our trips.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful rest of their week and that your weekend will be amazing, because I know mine will!

Here are a few photos of mine from these past few weeks:

This was from the Rosebowl Regatta at Alimetos Bay in Long Beach


This was one day at Cabrillo Beach Yacht Club.  A nice old man donated his 35ft sail boat to the club and so our team was able to take it out for an afternoon cruise!  It was so much fun.

Hannah and I love taking selfies while we are sailing.  This easy distraction must explain why we fall in so much!  If only it was that reason.


Alex (left), Hannah (right), Captain (the cute little dog) and I went for this beautiful sunrise hike on this trail I had never been on before in Palos Verdes.


This was from this fun hike we did today.


This was at the moment I realized that my new running shoes I got for Christmas had been covered in mud.  My mom was not too happy about that. :o




The field was just so beautiful.


And then we came home to this absolutely beautiful sunset and took a Jacuzzi.  The view is just so breathtaking and it never gets old!


I hope you enjoyed these photos.  Have a wonderful rest of your week and thanks for reading!
