Who am I?

For starters, my name is Erika and I am finally a senior this year! and I'm looking forwards to graduating highschool and moving on with my life. I am a generally caring, sincere, and loud (depending on my comfort level with my surroundings). I find myself to bethe happiest I can be when I am somewhere on a beach. This summer I went to Hawaii for two weeks, and it was probably the two best weeks of my life. I spent my days waking up early (gasp) and surfing and spending time with my family. In the winter to keep myself occupied, I love to go snowboarding with all of my girlfriends. Also, music is a big part of my life too. Each month I find myself obsessed with a new band or song, and I'm always relating my life to the songs I'm into. This week, I've been listening to my friend's band 'Good Luck Jane' on repeat, and you can check them out on iTunes or at www.myspace.com/goodluckjane. I'm also heavily influenced by my parents and my three best girlfriends. Since they are who I am constantly interacting with, I am able to grow, learn to know who I am, and who I want to be, based off of our experiences and views on life. Well, that's it now! gooooodbye.

MY first day..

So, my first day in sociology was actually everybody else's second day because I switched into it, but it was still a different experience. Out of my three years at school so far, I have never gotten lost to the extent that I did that day.. which is pretty embarrassing considering I should know this school better than most people now that I am a senior..
It began when I first walked into a classroom, gave the teacher my name, got assigned a seat, and then learned that it was a "Global Relations" classroom. Then, after looking at my schedule..very carefully.. I found the right classroom. Once I got there, however, the door was locked and the lights were off. Nobody was in there.. yeah, this would happen to me. So, after stumbling around confused for a good 5 minutes, a teacher spotted me and decided that I looked like I needed some help. Luckily, I found a friend who didn't want to go to class so he stayed with me during this whole ordeal. So the teacher opened up the classroom and told me that the class was changing rooms and would be there shortly.. but after 10 mintues and nobdoy showed up, I figured, yet again, I was in the wrong room. Long story short, my classroom was in the computer lab that day, and since I went to the classroom that everybody was going to be assigned to starting NEXT week, there was no sign on the door telling me to go to the computer lab. So, halfway through the period, I found my class in the computer labs. After joking that I "didn't know how to read the sign that was on the door" .. even though there WAS no sign, I got settled in, and was finally able to begin this blog.
