Summer Party!

 This weekend I went over to my friend Alex's house for a party while we're all here in the summer! This is one of our last times together before people start leaving for college or travel. We played board games and sat in the backyard, then ate dinner together and watched a movie. It was super fun!

Scooter Trip!

This weekend my parents weren’t feeling well, so I got on my scooter and rode to our favorite pizza slices place to get lunch! The return trip was almost entirely downhill, so the slices got back pretty fast. I had a fun time going on my adventure, and I got to eat pizza afterwards! 

Day Out!

This weekend I went to see Birdie! We met up by her house, then took the bus to the grocery store and went shopping. After that, we went back and did some baking at her house! It was a fun trip. Here we are on the bus together.

Vegas Trip!

This weekend I went to Las Vegas with my parents and Stephanie and Christian! We got there on the Fourth of July and got to see the fireworks. It was so crowded! We also got to see the Beatles Love cirque show, which was awesome. Here we are right after the fireworks over the strip.

I also went on a mission to find the Hello Kitty cafe! Linda and Stephanie helped me out, and even after some mishaps, we finally did make it to the correct cafe.

Jordan Visit!

This week I got to meet one of my closest online friends for the first time! Her name is Jordan. We met two years ago and have been friends ever since! She and some friends drove up from Southern California to go on a road trip, and I showed them around San Francisco. Here we are at the Ferry Building together.

Afterwards, we all had dinner at my house! I also invited some of my friends over to meet her. We had a great time, and everyone was excited to finally meet one another!

London!

This week we got to see London! It was Alessandra’s first time visiting the UK, so we did a lot of sightseeing. One of my favorite parts was going on the London Eye together! From here we were able to see the whole city. We also rode it just before sunset, so the lighting was exceptional.

Our friend Sydney was also in London at the time, so we got to meet up with her for a day! We went to the National Gallery together and explored the art. It was really nice to have additional company, and we loved seeing the museum!

Paris!

This week, Alessandra and I made it to Paris! We are so excited to do some sightseeing here, especially for the architecture and art museums. On our very first day, we visited Notre Dame. It’s so gorgeous!

In addition, we also walked around the city a lot and went exploring. The gardens around the Louvre were one of my favorite spots! It was also a gorgeous day, and it wasn’t even too hot. I was very happy about that part.

Europe Trip Start!

This week Alessandra and I started our trip to Europe together! Our first stop was Venice, where we got to do a lot of walking around and sightseeing. It’s super beautiful here! One of our favorite spots was the Bridge of Sighs.

After Venice, we went on the road through Italy! We stopped in Milan for a day and found a music festival going on called Dee Jay. It was awesome! We got some free merch from various stands and got to hear music all throughout the park.

Graduation!

I finally graduated from high school! Before the actual ceremony, I went to the East Bay with my parents and Nonie and Doc to take some graduation photos. Here I am with my parents in full Lowell graduation regalia!

At the ceremony, I got to watch all my friends walk across the stage. It was actually way more entertaining than I expected it to be. I was so happy that all my friends showed up to hear their names called! Afterwards, the crew got together outside the stadium to take some photos! Here we are lined up in height order.

Senior Sunset!

This weekend, my grade hosted the unofficial Senior Sunset event! We all went to the beach to watch the sunset and have a party together. While the sun was still up, my friend Alex and I ran around to all the other blankets of seniors and said hi to everyone!

I went back to the blanket to watch the actual sunset. It was so windy! We got so much sand in our mouths. It was still a very fun experience.

Scallion Pancake Adventures!

This weekend I finished my AP Government & Politics final project! I made a video about the process of cooking Chinese scallion pancakes and invited a bunch of friends over to help. We rolled the dough with water bottles, as we couldn’t find any rolling pins.

Post-AP Celebration!

This week I took almost all of my AP tests! It’s been a super busy week, since I have six total tests to study for. One of the tests I took this week was macroeconomics, which my friend Daniel was also taking. After the test, we went out to get cake and eat it at the reservoir! Here we are celebrating after the test.

Senior Prom!

This weekend I had my senior prom dance! I went with a group of my friends, and we got dinner beforehand at Tommy’s Joynt, a classic San Francisco restaurant.

Afterwards we went to the dance venue and got to party the night away! The dance was in a hotel with a super cool backdrop, including red curtains. Here I am with Katrina near the stage!

Beach Day!

This weekend I walked to the beach! I went all the way through Golden Gate Park and went to Sutro Baths at the end. It was super scenic and I loved the fresh air! Although it was sunny, it wasn’t too hot, which was nice.

Linda's Birthday!

This weekend we celebrated my mom’s birthday! I bought her some flowers and we went out to dinner. I got an amazing eggplant parmesan and had a lovely time getting to spend the day with her!
