i can't believe that in one week exactly I will be moving into my new apartment in Oakland! I am so excited! Now it is time to get a job and start the "real world" of a busy schedule and sneaking naps on the weekends with my dog... and seeing live music every chance i can get! 

A wish is a dream your heart makes...

Disneyland is amazing!

this week James had some friends in town from Michigan so we decided to hit up Disneyland for all of our first times ever! It was amazing to say the least... the winnie the pooh ride was one of my favorites! A big thanks to Alex's dad for finding us free tickets!

I can not wait for next time!

it is time for a change...

If your going to San Francisco...

be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

 the few good people i have met while in santa barbara.

the things that will not be missed...

people honking car horns as a signal that they have arrived.

it has been a long time...

this shot is from my fashion class at brooks, which was also my last class there ever!, it is from an assignment to shoot jeans and this self-portrait is what came out.

 these are my favorite pair of jean shorts in the whole world! they come from a little shop on haight street in San Francisco. however, at the moment i can't wait to go shopping there for an apartment in oakland/berkley this weekend!

now that school time is finally over and done with i can finally start my journey up north to san francisco. i can't wait for cold weather, foggy days and tons of amazing music. 

watch out for the band Barnacles... they are coming back with a vengeance to the Oakland area... so exciting!

Out with the cold...

I am ready for the warm season again... it seems like this coldness has been going on forever. I am ready to once again enjoy camping, the mountains and maybe even some beach time. Too bad I am moving to San Francisco in a couple months where it will be cold like this for most of the year and the fog will be rolling in thick over my head. I can't wait though... the atmosphere of San Francisco is fascinating and wonderful!

The days fly by...

I can't believe it is already winter... Santa Barbara will do that to you I guess. In two weeks I will be flying back to Pennsylvania and I am oh so excited! The Andy Warhol museum, snow tubing, good Italian food, friends and family... what more could one ask for? Absolutely nothing.

After that it's one more session of school and I will officially become a Brooks Institute graduate. What a glorious feeling! I am just so excited for the next journey in life to begin!
