Humboldt County...the Land I now call my Home

Arcata. I do love Arcata. I love the people and how they are always so freindly and nice. I love the comfort of walking through the plaza and knowing that everyone is accepted. It doesn't matter how you are dressed or how you fix your hair, all are welcomed and embraced. It sets a peaceful tone that is silent but felt.

Farmers Market: I went the second day home, one great thing
about Arcata that I miss when I am gone.

One of my favorite things about the Plaza: The two random palm trees, they make me smile everytime I pass them.

Annie and I: ready to start the summer!
Something in the way the deer fern is uncurling makes me stare with awe.
I love them!!!

Of course: Five Fingered Ferns!!!

School to a close

Finals came and went, which also means the end of Winter semester 2008, one year of college checked off! The end came quick, my room mate and I started packing long before needed, we had to unpack many times when realizing we still needed some things. Anyway, I survived the packing and moving out! The only tough thing to do was saying goodbye to friends and the summer ahead without them or thier laughter and smiles. Before any of us left, we took pictures around campus.
