OK, so for the next few days...
sunday:
Woke up at 7:30 so we coudl be off by 8 because mattt and i had a very long way to go ( from San Diego to Santa Cruz) we stopped off in LA in order to switch cars becasue we had taken mattts to San Diego, and we were off again headed on the 101 north towards Santa Cruz. the 101 is the longest rout, but we were headed for Herst Castle before Santa Cruz so it is the only way we coudl go. We got there in plenty of time for our reservations, and by plenty i mean about 40 minutes.
The castle was great! i loved it! i wanna live there. when I rule the world, i will do it from Herst Castle...then again i suppose i could juts build myself a bigger and better one..but...why mess with perfection. I was impressed that he had antique ceilings suspended over the regular ceiling. that is impressive! though..i woudl prefer to live in the guests houses instead of the main house..they have a good vew, are open and comfertable and i happene to like them better.
After the castle we contunied the drive up the 1...worst drive i have ever taken in my live and that is all i will say about that
We got to santa cruz at about 9 or so and went to see ryan, and called sara...we didn't realy do anyhting which is just as well becasue matt and i had a long long day...well i did, he slep all the way up from Herst Castle. So, we settled down to watch "The last Samuri"...not as bad as i though it woudl be. Pritty good actually. I also experienced one of the worst nights sleep i have ever had that night....well that was untill i decided to sleep in the big round chair in the room instead of the hard floor.
and thats all for today, monday and the rest of the week will be posted soon... I am behind, but that is alright, i will be up to date soon. For now i am going out to dinner in Berkley with Sara, Ryan, Kyle( saras boyfriend) Rae and Mike. ( ryan is taking forever in the shower ) HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!! and for those of you who are not christina, i hope it was a great passover or whatever else you may have celebrated

Well, it is spring break and matt and I decided to make a few stops to see friends before heading home.
Friday- at 2pm Mattt and I started driving to San Diego to visite Chris. It took us two hours to get out of LA and another two hours or so to get to San Diego, so we arrive there at about 7pm, we bought a parking pass and headed over to chris college where he met us covered in dirt after playing ultimate frisbee. We met some of his friends, had dinner, wathed some family guy and then headed out to play Frisbee Golf on the underground course at UC San Diego. It is underground, meaning that it is now well known and not a real course. The frst whole was my favorite. We went to the 7th store balcony of one of the buildings on campus and threw frisbees at the fountan in the courtyard. From there we hit a lamp, benches, a "sun god" in the shape of some wierd bird, and many other interesting holes. I lost, in fact it is highly possible that i had the highest score ever recieved on this course, but i realy enjoyed myself and that is all that matters. We then went back to Chris dorm and played Cranium! (a great boared game that they play all the time) and Flux, and Video games. We finaly got to sleep around 4 in the morning and slept on chris couch in his living room.
Sunday- woke up at about 11 and headed out to the beach where we played ultimate frisbee in the sand. Apparently the guys didn't want me playing becasue i was a girl, But chris vouched for me, saying i was good and prabably even batter than Mattt and so i played. After a few touchdown my team was impressed and said that there girls prabably woudl not have cut like that and sprinted so fast after the frisbee. We hung out at the beach untill aroudn 6 and then we headed out to get some fire wood for a bond fire. We drove all over the place ooking for a pit, and finally found one after getting mattts car stuck in the sand ( all of the girls...5 or 6...pushed it out of the sand as the guys stood back and watched) We stayed at the beach with the bond fire untill around 9:30 and then went to get pizza, where we were served the largest pizza i have ever seen! it was huge and fed at least 8 of us and still there were 3 pieces left! then we went back to chris' dorm to play more cranium ( i love that game!) we finished ranuim around 1 and then we went lougeing! chris and his friend Macklin? tok there long board ( skate boards) and we went to this downhill path on campus. You lie on the board and go down this hill with 4 hairpin turns as fast as you can! remember it is 1 in the morning and this is not well lit! Chris was amazing! he went down that thing faster than i though possible! and i will never know how he made those turns. I tried of crourse! ( matt didn't) and i had to use my feet to break ever so often becasue i was going to fast and i could notr turn so well. But, i made it down on my first try, and i did ok! so i did it again, and again and again. After a while i got better and i started going faster but i still had not learned to make those turns ver well and i ended up in the bushed quite a lot! finally i learned to drift, i made it down once, without using my feet ever few feet to slow down and i made the hard turn that i had been going into the bushes on and i drifted and i was proud! i also brused by sholder blades. and maby other parts of my body but it was a lot of fun! after that matt went to bed becasue he had to drive the next morning and i went with chris and his friend Macklin? bildering! there was a frisbee lost in this .... part of the building that you can't get to, so chris took his climbing stuff and rapelled down the building and got it! and then came back up ( this is 3 in the morning ) it was....cool! then we went to bed becasue we had to wake up at 8.
well that was friday and satureday, two very jam packed days. I woudl post the other two, but this seems long enough for now. I will post the next two days tomorrow maby
