Super Girl Contest in Oceanside

Here is a fun activity that happened in Oceanside, California

What I did this Summer

As I said in my last post, as an international student you have the choice to travel during the summer or to stay in California just like me.

Studying for summer classes 

 
My mom came to visit me this Summer and it was wonderful. I did not travel because I wanted to take a summer class and I also decide to do and internship and an on campus job during the summer, which is pretty heavy.


  To be sincere with you summer classes are not easy, you have a lot of work to do in such a short period time and it is very stressful. You have Exam 1, midterm and Final to take, all that in about 6 or 8 weeks, and this classes are regularly for 16 weeks. So you have to go two times as fast as in a regular semester. However I love Summer classes because this gives you an opportunity to catch up if you failed a class, or an opportunity for someone like me to graduate faster and transfer to a University. Aside form classes, spending the summer in the us is fun with great Holidays and good places to visit.
The  4th of July is the US independence day and it is one of the biggest Holiday in the US, you need to be hear to actually understand what it means.
 

San Diego Beach 

  Saturday and Sunday is a good time to enjoy the beach and to visit museums and parks.   In San Diego or in Los Angeles, Oceanside(MiraCosta College) is almost in the middle of both of then, so it is pretty easy to go to either of them. In Los Angels there is Holly Wood were some of the best movies are made. In San Diego there is one of the best beaches in the world and there is a lot of touristic Military ships all the way from World War 2, so you have a lot of place to visit and a lot to learn.

Balboa park ans San Diego Musume of Art 

On Every First Tuesday of the month, The san Diego Museum of Art is Free for students and military people. But you will have to bring your student ID, or Military ID, you get a lot of discounts when you are a student in the US.

You can do it

You wish to come and study in the US, you wish to become someone, then just do it.  

If you want something tomorrow then you have to work for it today.

MiraCosta is a please of great opportunities and this was exactly the kind of school I was looking for when I was thinking of coming to study in the US. So I applied at www.miracosta.edu and I got accepted and now I am here. It is as easy as ABC. Do something today if you want to be somebody tomorrow.

Perfect place to study (library)

The Library gets restocked with new and current books every summer.  The library is also one of the best place to study on the Miracosta Campus. It is very quiet and lovely. 

Summer=Travel=Fun

Summer Summer Summer!!!!!!

            This is a very important time and period of the year both for international students and for Americans. This is the best season of the year, especially if your in California, because it has some of the best beaches in the World.









If you don't want to stay in California, you can go to other sates and visit and the best part is you don't even need a visa if you want to travel within the US. But it will be a good idea to let the international office know. You can go to New York and see the Statue of Liberty.







Also, you can decide to go back home and visit during the summer, then comeback for the next semester. When you come to the US to study it is not a prison. You have family and friends that you probably miss, and the summer is a great time to go pay them a visit. If you decide that is what you will like to do for the summer you definitely need to go to the international office to talk to them about your trip, before doing anything.
           For someone like me, I decided to take a summer class (Film101H), and go to the beautiful beach in Oceanside during the week end. Read my next blog if you will like to know more about summer classes.
