¡Victory Burrito!

On Wednesday Feb. 11th at 8:25am, I found out I was accepted into the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. For some of you that are unfamiliar with the program, it is indeed very excellent. Here are just a few of the people that Haas has produced:

1) The creator of Dilbert
2) The president of Absolut Vodka
3) Founder of Gap
4) Co-creator of Google Earth
5) CEO of Jack in the Box
6) Co-inventor of Hot Pockets
7) Congressmen
8) CEO of Playtex (special recognition for the tampon man!)

So when I found out I would be among the greats, I decided I was going to have to celebrate correctly: Burritos, Shopping, and Late Night Nachos! It truly was a magnificent day!


The first photo was when Magnum and I partook in the most satisfying burritos ever from La Burrita, our second home.

This photo is from our shopping adventure right after where I awarded myself, and we stimulated the economy (you are welcome America) with a pink Coach clutch! Well actually, it was a gift from my parents. Thanks fam for making my day perfect!

Next was Late Night where I ran into my new "Haasmate" Kira! Clearly Late Night at the dining commons is where all the successful and intelligent people celebrate. Haas has about a 50% acceptance rate, and the average GPA is a 3.7, so we were pretty excited to represent for the women of the future!!




Finally, this is a photo of Calvin and I with my precious Nachos smothered in cheesy goodness and him with his burger. It was a perfect ending to the best day ever!


And thank you to everyone who believed in me and was rooting for me the whole time. I promise to buy you something wonderful when I take over the business world! I start summer school on July 6th and will keep everyone updated on what it is like to sit on padded seats with extra leg room and pee in bathrooms lined with gold!

Thanks everyone for the celebratory messages on the family blog too! And I will try not to take my new found success and be a "Haas-hole" (get it??)

So because I truly am an amazing RA, I planned a special trip to Oakland Ice Center for all my residents to go Broomballing. Now, if you are unfamiliar with the game you run around on ice in tennis shoes and use "brooms" to hit orange balls into hockey nets. There were two teams: Red and Black

Clearly... Black did not come prepared...

However, team Red, led by me, was prepared mentally and physically for victory...

While they may have taken cute photos...

We were serious about our game

But we pretended to be cordial...

Alright maybe we really were cordial...

But we got down to business once the game began... (I would like to pay special homage to Canada in this photo)

But clearly, the red team (equip with all the floor redheads, including Sean in this photo) was going to dominate...

And no matter how many times our men fell..

And it was a lot...

We were victorious...

Jimmy Boy

It has been too long! I have some serious blogging to do because I am way behind events!

As many of you know, my mother is a large animal fan so, as usual, we hit up the dog show this year!

These are the best of the Cow Palace Dog Show 2009 (I'm sure it has an official name.. oh well)



I am even thinking about entering next year...






I was excited to see the largest dogs ever.. and I think we succeeded with this big horse looking creature





















Mike agreed to come, little did he know he was going to a dog show.... but I think it became one of this favorite things. We found our favorite dogs, I got attacked by THE ugliest animal God has ever made (no offense). However, while he is very ugly, he has good taste in purses! I danced with the cutest pug ever too.















Mike was a larger fan of the rottweilers and the mastiffs... And while everyone knows I am very into chihuahuas, I must say it was the bulldogs that really took me by surprise with their fat cuteness!!!










While my favorite breed was bulldogs, I must say Jimmy Boy stole my heart...
