My Favorite Library
College Libraries are cozy and quiet..and informative! I'm in the Bioscience Library at UC Berkeley. I can't leave this library without checking out at least a book...There are so many good reads here!

On my way to Berkeley...
So this is the end of senior year and college is around the corner now. I will be at Berkeley this fall majoring in environmental science. Berkeley is the best school for my major and it offers an infinite amount of resources for me to use. The liberating environment and the easy going culture at Cal is just the right fit for me. Not only that but I will be near my older sister, is going to school and living in Oakland, something my mom comforts in because I will be close to family if I need anything.

I have visited Berkeley twice so far and have fallen in love with its beautiful campus, massive libraries, and amazing people. I even met a current senior who shared many of my interests. We requested each other to be roommates! I leave for Berkeley this month to begin summer school with a program called Summer Bridge. Because of Summer Bridge, I will gain life-long friends and acquire study skills that will prepare me as a student at Berkeley. I am excited, nervous, happy, and sad at the same time. I know I will become homesick for my family and room at home. I am extremely close to my sisters and parents, but although I will miss them so much, I know this is an important step in my life. I will meet many new people that will simply add to my life of friends and family. My four years of college will fly by just as high school did. Pretty soon my college graduation will come, Class of 2015! But for now, I am Class of 2011 and all the work has paid off! I am going to the #1 public university in the country. I can't wait!

Book Tracking Made EASY
As an avid reader for leisure and for school work, a site such as GoodReads is an ideal site to use for me to keep track of the books I have read or are reading. There are many tools this site has to offer for free. I enjoyed how people can rate books and a person can determine whether a book is recommendable by looking at its rating. I also think that tracking your progress on the books you are currently reading is a useful feature because it makes you feel accomplished once you finish reading and you can mark it as "read". The idea of storing all the books you have read on the "bookshelf" on GoodReads allows you to keep track of all the books you have read (or can remember reading) so that you have a number next to your name. I always wanted to create a list of books that I have read but I never got around to it. With GoodReads this tracking memory system is easy and simple. I think I will definitely continue using this site to track my progress on books and also find new and interesting books to read in the future.
Fun Websites to Use!
Making art online such as comics and mosaics is fun and easy. There are two sites you can find on Makebeliefscomix and Wordle. The comic below was such a pleasure to make because you can easily make your own story, words, characters, and colors by going to Makebeliefscomix. The mosaic that I made on Wordle describes artists in the 80's that made the generation awesome.

Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
I believe Animoto is very useful for any project whether at school or for social events. For example, I used it to make a Video of a book I read called Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. Not only did I use it for Library Science but also to make Photo Montage for my sister's Birthday Party. I am excited to continue using the Animoto for future projects in life.
