Happy Blogmas Day 8!
I took a little break from the blog because life got quite busy! On Thursday, I had a wonderful time at my niece’s bake sale, which was a fantastic success. The kids watched “The Grinch” in the gym, and we sold a lot of snacks. The highlights were our themed offerings: green popcorn and green sugar cookies decorated with red hearts. Of course, I also made coal cake pops.
Then Friday, I had the chance to visit Fullerton, and I was really impressed with everything the school has to offer! They have a fantastic communications degree program and so many resources to help students. I love how they focus on building communities that make everyone feel like they belong, encouraging self-discovery and critical thinking, and providing inclusive and welcoming spaces.
The library was definitely my favorite spot! It’s actually two buildings, and the basement level is where the communications media section is located, featuring podcast rooms, a radio station, and a TV studio—super cool! That said, I still think UC Irvine has the most beautiful campus I’ve ever seen!
Saturday was filled with fun as I attended a demonstration at my niece’s karate dojo. It was absolutely adorable watching the kids in action! Unfortunately, the Zoom link was acting up, so many people missed the event. Once the demo wrapped up, we transitioned into a dojo holiday party, which was complete with a gift exchange. One little kid ended up with a set of wine glasses and wanted to trade for something else, but his parents were all about keeping them. I mean, who thought wine glasses were a good fit for a children’s holiday white elephant party?
With all this hustle and bustle between school and work, I think I really need a day to just kick back and relax!
