Today, I was selected as a possible juror (someone who performs jury duty). However, the court decided that they already had enough jurors. Part of me wishes that I could have participated in the case to see what it is like in the courtroom. However, part of me is glad that I don't have to miss class (because of my wonderful students and also the money).

Hello from Wales. I've been in Wales for two days now and it has rained both days. I am now reealizing what a British summer looks like.

On Sunday, I stopped by Phil's parents' house for a Sunday dinner. Then we went to Sunday evening service at his church. I was able to meet some more of Phil's friends and even his girlfriend. We went to a friend's house for tea and biscuits (aka cookies).

Yesterday, Phil and I visited some of the big sights in Wales such as the coal mines, big green fields, and sheep. ;)

Take me out to the ball game

Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,

Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.

By the way, I am going to an Angel game tonight too!
Go Angels!

The OC Fair

2007-07-22T23:58:00.000-07:00

Last week I visited the OC Fair. It is a wonderful fair that takes place in the summer. They have many rides, games, and different kinds of food. I didn't go on the rides because they cost money, but I did play some of the games. In American culture, the boyfriend has to win a prize for his girlfriend. I played four games and I won two prizes. One was a teddy bear and the other prize was a toy monkey. I also ate some crazy dishes. I ate a deep friend twinkie and then I had a Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich!

Later on in the evening, I went to a rock concert. Daughtry was performing that night and the tickets were $40. Unfortunately, I lost my ticket. I didn't know what to do. My friends went inside to ask if I could get in, but they said I needed to go speak to the box office. We had the receipt for the ticket which proved that I had purchased the ticket, but the box office was outside of the park. Normally, I would not do something dishonest, but since I knew I had paid for the ticket, I decided to do something sneaky. When my friend went inside to talk to them about my situation, he was given a stamp on his wrist so he could get back into the concert. My friend realized that if I had the stamp, I could get into the concert. So he licked the stamp on his wrist and then pressed his wrist against mine. The ink from the stamp was now on my wrist too! I walked by the re-entry door and showed them the stamp on my wrist. They let me in and I sat down in my seat. The concert was great!

Recently, we talked about our dreams and our passions. One of my dreams has always been to visit the 7 continents. So far, I have been to North America, South America, Asia, and Europe. In August, I will get even closer to accomplishing my goal. I am visiting my good friend in London and then we are going to Morocco which is in Africa. In the next few years, I would like to go to Australia and Antartica!

What dreams do you have? These may be funny or silly. They may be serious or even impossible. Make a list of 10 things you would like to accomplish (see, do, eat, climb, run, have, etc.) before you die.

My list includes:

1) Obtain a PhD

2) Travel to the 7 continents

3) Visit all 50 states (I have 7 more to go!)

4) Get married

5) Have children

6) Own property

7) Get a black belt in a martial art (I have a green belt in karate)

Transformers was an excellent movie. I highly recommend it, especially to anyone who has fond childhood memories of playing with transformers. I went on the first night so the theater was sold out! The audience was really into the movie and you could feel the excitment. The theater was packed and everyone was cheering for the Autobots! We were clapping and yelling for the Autobots to win!
