Zeum Fieldtrips

This past weekend we took fieldtrips to the Pistahan festival that took place in Yerba Buena Gardens. It is a festival to celebrate the culture and heritage of Filipino Americans. There were many different performances such as singing, dancing and people sharing words of wisdom. Along with the different performances, people also had booths to share knowledge and information about differnent things, from a police booth to insurance. I was shocked to see that it was very diverse, not just one race but also great variety of booths. At the festival i thought it would be all Filipinos untill i saw alot of races.

Another fieldtrip we took this summer was to San Francisco's annual AIDs Walk. The fieldtrip included me, Fran, Wing Yan, Tatyana and Gladys. There was alot of people so we kept getting lost but still managed to find each other. At first it was hard to walk because it was so crowded and alot of people brought their dogs but it was fun. Along the way, we got freebies every two miles which was nice. The best part of it all was seeing all the cute dogs and spending time with Wing Yan, Tatyana, Gladys(Fran's dog) and Fran. Team Zeum raised $200 which goes to resarching a cure for aids.

Preview of a possible future

so we talked all night about the rest of our lives, where we're gonna be... when i listen to this song (Graduation- Vitamin C) i think of college. the end of our highschool years is approaching and i'm sure everyone is thinking about their future. for high school seniors, we are all thinking about the college we want to attend and even what we would like to become in the future. so we planned the UC Davis college tour following the Stanford trip (both led by Irina on her free time :) thanks IRINA !UC Davis is one of the top universities of the nation. It is located in the Yolo County. The school is unique for its over 100 majors and 5300 acres campus. during the trip, we interviewed people about Davis. Many of them agreed that the professors are easy to talk to and that they have the best dorm food. The class size ranges from 20 to 400 people. Moreover, they have many popular majors such as pychology, economics, biology and political science. The school also offers financial aid such as student grants. However, the recession did affect Davis because there was a staff reduction and an increase in student fees. Will the economy continue to affect us? We will just have to wait to find out. Have you thought about your future yet, or even, did you picture your future the way it is now?
