Last Day in the U.S.

Wow I can hardly believe it, but I am leaving for Europe TODAY!! I have so much to look forward to, but I know there is so much that I am going to miss. I have had a wonderful last week, and my Christmas was very merry. We had our own Italian chef come cook for us and he taught my family and I how to make home made pasta with the old school machine and everything! We even roasted chestnuts!! Yesterday I spent the day with one of my best friends Natalie, and we had an awesome time down in Huntington, I tried my best to soak up the last bit of California sun before I depart for the cold. I am going to miss everybody so much! I will be sure to keep you updated on my blog!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! Here is a holiday greeting and a Christmas Poem!

Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to reshape souls and roots and skies,
A time to give your heart to everyone
Freely, like a rich and lavish sun,
Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs
Show need of such a time for love and fun.

For children first, whose pain is never done,
Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies,
It's time to give your heart to every one,

That not one angel fall, to hatred won
For lack of ears to listen to her cries,
Or arms to carry him towards love and fun,

Or friends to care what happens on the run
To adult life, where joy or sadness lies.
It's time to give your heart to everyone,

For God loves all, and turns His back on none,
Good or twisted, ignorant or wise.
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to give your heart to everyone.

Love, 

Brittany

Christmas Tree Lighting

This past Thursday, I got to go to the Christmas Tree Lighting at the Nokia Theater with some friends. It was a tree lighting like no other, with a spectrum of lights timed perfectly to classic Holiday carols. We got to go to the kickoff which included a surprise visit by Britney Spears and a performance by Natalie Cole. I was overly jubilated as I have never been so close to a celebrity as big as Britney Spears. I was literally within inches of her and even managed to get a pretty awesome picture!! It was a nice way to kick off the Holiday Season, and a fun thing to attend before I go into lockdown mode for finals week. Wish me luck!
