Lifescape and Chumash Reserve

This video shows the Lifescape, part of SBCC's campus and the classroom for the horticulture program. I highly recommend you check out the Lifescape's link, as it is a really awesome website!

I took this video as part of the series of videos I have been taking to show students the campus. I did this one a little differently, because the Lifescape is honestly really large, and hard to capture in one shot. I took different shots of the Lifescape, and compiled them together, and then added music and my audio description over it. I did this because a lot of people responded really well to the Dia de Los Muertos video, which is done similarly. Enjoy!

The Library

I thought it would be fun to share these videos of the library with you. The video with music was made by me as part of the Snapshot Day, an event to capture the essence of libraries around the country.  The other video was made by the library, and designed to help students know where the resources in the library are.

I really like our library because when I am trying to do homework etc. at home, a lot of times my roommates are loud, or I start wanting to clean my room etc. The library has tons of rooms to study in and outlets to power my laptop, a computer lab, and even coffee. I also love the view from the study tables by the front window! Ocean view from the library... yes!

JSB Cafe

Yesterday I went to the JSB cafe with my boyfriend Kyle. We were celebrating him passing his finals (he has them in the middle of the semester because he is in marine diving), and me passing the CBEST. I ordered a southwestern style salad and he had a Kobe burger with fries. I love that the JSB cafe lets you go to the salad bar with your meal, which is only around $5-7 dollars. I also love that they bring you your food. The JSB cafe is a part of the SBCC culinary department, so the food being made is all served by students.

If you visit their site you will find their menu, so you can see exactly what I ate:

Chipotle BBQ Chicken Salad $ 6.00
Mixed greens, black beans, corn, tomato, cilantro and corn strips. Tossed with ranch dressing and topped with a Chipotle BBQ chicken breast, shredded cheddar cheese and avocado.

Chinese Scholars Association Flying Kites I

On Wednesday I hung out with the Chinese Scholars Association and flew kites. They were celebrating the Double Ninth Festival, a traditional festival in China. The idea is that when the kites fly on that day, it releases bad luck. It was really fun flying my fish-shaped kite with them, and since there is always a good amount of wind on that hill, I look forward to keep practicing.
