{April 25, 2008}   James River under the sun

It was so nice outside today. It was perfect weather to go lay around and catch some sun. That’s exactly what i did. I went to the James river with my boyfriend or ex boyfriend( i really don’tknow what to categorize him as.) But anyways i went with him. I never have been there before. I really haven’t been any where in Richmond except for this one time i went for a run and i came across maymount park? Yeah i never heard of that place either but i really like it. I really enjoyed today too. I layed on this huge flat rock under the sun. the sun actually was already setting but i caught some type of peace and quiet. My boyfriend was skipping rocks and doing push ups on the rocks. I think hes A.D.D because he cant lay down for one second. He always has to be moving and active. But anyways… u really enjoyed being there. I feel i have just found my quiet spot. I hope the days stay nice cuz i want to go back there again.

{April 16, 2008}   Caporales- Bolivia

Caporales is a typical Bolivian dance. It is a legacy of the Spanish colony where caporales were Spaniards born in the colonies. After the Spaniards left both countries, caporales began as a dance to show that legacy. The dance however has a prominent religious aspect. One supposedly dances for The Virgin of Socavon (patroness of miners) and promises to dance for three years of one’s life. According to Researchers at the University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru, the caporales is a Bolivian dance that came from the Tundiki and Saya, Afro Andean dances of the Yungas region, Bolivia and were presented formally as caporales in the religious festival of Gran Poder, La Paz Bolivia en the 40’s by the Escalier family” (Wikipedia).

{April 16, 2008}   ~NY Competition~

I’m so excited this week I’m going to NEW YORK!! I’m going for this dance competition. It’s not the type of dance your thinking its more like a folkloric dance. I’ve been involved with this group for about three years. It’s a Bolivian dance called CAPORALES. It’s a really popular thing in Northern VA. I haven’t seen anything like it here “down south.” I guess because there aren’t that many Bolivians in Richmond. Well anyways. These competitions are called SAYA’s and basically they have one in VA, NY, NJ. RI, and even FL. For the past month i have been going back home every weekend to practice and to learn the choreography. Now for this past week i have been going back and fourth. I’ve been driving 4 hours almost everyday. It sucks because of the price of Gas. But actually my car.. doesn’t us that much gas. That’s a good thing. I drive a Toyota corolla 96 and its red. Yeah i know it doesn’t sound HOT! lol. Hey .. don’t judge a book by its cover right..?! well back to NY, so i will be missing class because we are all leaving to NY. I’m so excited i really hope we win. There are like 4 other groups from VA going to NY and then there are about 8 other groups from like New York and New Jersey. When i come back ill post up pictures and the video … wish me luck!!



For those who don’t know yet i went from being a biology-pre med major to being a Exercise science-Pre Physical Therapy Major. It’s not a huge difference but i find physical therapy to be more interesting then Medicine. i guess the thing is i don’t want to find the cure for people i just want to treat it. Anyways I’m more interested in the human body. I think its because I’m really into sports and Ive always wondered about my muscles and how they work.

Ever since i was a little girl Ive wanted to be a doctor. I guess in a way i still be a Doctor just a different kind. Im pretty satisfied with this path so lets see where it takes me…



Ive never heard this before until my friend told me it. She said she heard it in a destiny child’s song. But when she said it to me she basically described the way i was feeling at that point. To tell you the truth i still feel this way!.. i know a lot of people are feeling this way right now because i know I’m not the only one. Have you ever had anyone take u for granted. Well i have. I am having someone take advantage of the fact that I’m so nice and don’t ask for anything in return. I don’t understand why people don’t realize what they have when its right in front of them. I’m sitting in my room thinking about this. Have i ever done this to someone? taken advantage of someones kindness? This goes back to my journal about how i despise fake people. This is my new quote. I always come across these quotes that i can relate to. Who comes up with them?
