Maria from Woodburn, Oregon and Guerrero, Mexico - (May 10, 2006)

This week has been stressing me out and I had wanted to go home, but then I felt terrible…because I had a quiz coming up. I just wanted to cry in my room. I was thinking that instead of going home and I should study. In the end I decided to stay in my room and study for my midterm. The weekends at OSU are very quiet so I knew I was not going to get distracted. I ended up spending a whole day in the library and I also went swimming. My boyfriend is helping me to learn how to swim and I have improved. We also played soccer to see who was best, him or me. He ended up beating me by one goal, 9 to 10.

I am excited because Festivalito is this coming weekend and I am also nervous. I have the soccer tournament all ready. I just hope everything is going to be fine. I can’t wait for it. I am also excited because people will get to see how beautiful OSU is this Spring. The trees are really green and they look so alive. The sun is coming more often and the flowers are so beautiful in pink, white, red, purple and yellow. The best part is that you can always hear the birds singing, I really like that. I just hope that people get to see how beautiful it is on Saturday. You never know, it might rain. This is Oregon and Oregon has weird weather, or as we say in my house, “Oregon has a crazy weather.”
