Give Blood, Give Life

Carnival Cruise!

Simply Paradise

Our Porthole view!

We had to do an emergency drill- DRUNK. I insisted on keeping my lifevest on.

Angel with 'his' ship

Bubar. Every night the room steward would make a cool animal towel creation for us!

On Catalina we were too big to dock, so we took Tender boats into Avalon

The Beautiful Atrium Plaza

I rode the cadillac of horses, 'El Lote' Angel rode 'El Mexicano'. For a while I thought the caballeros were referring to Angel as 'The Mexican'...

The 'Adults only' Serenity Deck

THIS is why they call it a FUN ship!! I loved the slide, LOVED it =)

The Atrium bar

Our view from the lounges... so serene


Everyone needs to go on a cruise at least once in their lives. It's well worth every penny, especially since all meals are included, the shows are free, there's a dance club, karaoke bar and live band every night... the list goes on! We did a day trip to Catalina and one to Ensenada, Mexico, and our third full day was spent at sea. It's fun to get dressed up for dinner every night and see everyone else do the same, plus you can drink and not worry about driving ;). (just stumbling when the ship rocks). It was a great trip overall and It's a given that this will not be my last cruise!

For real, this time

The LAPD venture is officially over for me. I received another letter saying that something was off and I could either start over or appeal. I don't feel like starting over AGAIN with them, and I'm not getting any younger. When I started this almost 3 years ago, I was strong enough, agile enough and energetic enough to do well in the 6 month long academy. Now I'm not so sure about it. I still feel like I'm in good shape, but.. I'm almost 30. Gees that sounds old... Also, my desires have changed. My main goal is still ultimately the same, but I have now chosen to take a different path (or trail in my case).



As of Saturday I am certified in CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer. It's the first requirement I need in order to start EMT classes. Down the line I'll work toward ultimately becoming a Paramedic and who knows from there... The world is my tofu! (cuz i don't do the whole oyster thing). I'll be starting classes at UCLA within the next few months.

This is SO FREAKING RAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!

F*** this week. Please skip ahead to Saturday so I can start over.
