Picnic is basically a HUUUUUUUUGE open house for UC Davis as well as an excuse for thousands of people to be drunk all day long. I had a dance competition at night (see below) so I actually remember the day compared to my fellow students. There were a few exhibits I really wanted to see so Chris and I got there pretty early...well I guess not early enough. Chemistry magic show tickets were given out at 10 for the later shows...we got there at 10:15 and they were already all given out...fail 1.
So we decided to go try and do the lazer maze...but by the time we got there, it was an hour wait...fail 2.
So we milked a cow instead! Chris was practicing in line the entire time, so funny. After that we just walked around, spent way too much money on food and then I watched the Weiner Dog Races with my friend.
The night ended with an amazing win and a funnnnn night! : )

Finally
For the past few weeks, my dance team has been practicing like crazy in order to get ready for this huge competition that is held every year on Picnic Day. All of the dance teams from Davis compete for the grand prize of $1000!
My team is one of the best on campus and we have never won first place, and last year we didn't place...which was all major BS! But anyways...we stayed up till 3am every night for the past few weeks and it finally paid off because we won first place on Saturday!!!
Here is the video for your viewing pleasure...

Miss Britney
Concerts are one of my favorite things to do. Expensive, but so worth it. I haven't been to a concert since last May and have been trying to save money for my Europe trip this summer. My old roomie Anna had two extra tickets to the Britney Spears concert...and there was no way I could turn them down!
My friend Ericka who I dance with, Anna and I got read together, ate an entire Papa Murphy's pizza and then headed to the concert. It was at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, which is nice cause any seats in the stadium give you a good view. We had seats on the first row on the second level, not bad for $50! Pussycat Dolls opened and they were amazing. They are amazing performers and can really SING. Britney's theme was a "Circus" like her new album, and it literally was. No animals but full on circus acts and weird/crazy stuff like Britney usually does. She lip sang the entire time but still put on a really good show!
Maybe I can go to a concert in Italy? haha

Disneyland!
For my spring break trip, my family and I went down to Disneyland for 4 days! Tradition in our family when you turn 21 is to go on a trip. My sister chose Vegas and my brother chose Hawaii, obviously I wanted Hawaii also! But....the economy sucks and our family grew so we couldn't quite afford Hawaii...but Disneyland was a great 2nd choice!
My friend Ferdilyn came with us as well as my entire immediate family. It was great to all be on a vacation together, especially in the Happiest Place on Earth! I could go to Disneyland every year and never get sick of it, so hopefully this becomes a tradition of ours!

21 and Over
I finally turned 21! I know that I am HORRIBLE at keeping up to date on this blog thingy so here it goes!
My birthday was on the 14th of March, the weekend before finals...talk about bad timing! During my actual birthday weekend, I went out to dinner with friends Thursday night to a Italian restaurant in Davis. Friday Chris took me out to fondue and we had our own private room, very fun! Later that night, I had some of my friends over for a a little get together with a hometown theme so people had to dress up like their home town....I was a hippie of course! Saturday I had lunch with my mom in Sacramento and my friend Danielle surprised me! She drove 6 hours to have lunch with me...such a great friend : )
Later we walked around the mall but didn't buy anything since Chris bought me shoes the day before : ) I got a pedicure in the afternoon and then had dinner with my entire family! My sister was supposed to work but she surprised me! It was really nice being able to be with my entire family on my birthday, thanks everyone! After dinner I went to the bars in downtown Davis with a few of my girlfriends and Chris...had a little too much fun but it was a greaaaaaaaat birthday!!!
