A new school year starts!  On Saturday, I moved back to the Palazzo Apartment. I moved into a new apartment with my former wayfinder roommates Kate and Kayla.  I have a new roommate named Natalia. She is very lovely, and she decorates the living room with our favorite music album.  Our kitchen is clean and organized. We have a whiteboard for the chores schedule. I like my bedroom because I can walk around freely in my room. My parents helped me unload my stuff and decorated my room.   I like the view of the farm from my bedroom window. I enjoy looking at the tree, the geese flying overhead, and the beautiful pumpkin patch. It's a wonderful bedroom! I kissed my parents when they left. After they left, I hung out with my roomie, Kayla. We watched movies on TV  in the living room. We watched The Proud Family, The Princess Diaries, and Cruella movies. I enjoyed watching movies with my roommate, Kayla. I like my new apartment and my roommates!

On summer break, I traveled to the Netherlands with my family and our family friends. We went to Amsterdam, Haarlem, Delft, Alkmaar, and other small towns.  I visited the Vincent Van Gogh Museum. I saw many paintings of Van Gogh, including the Sunflowers, Almond Blossom, the Potato Eaters, and Vincent Van Gogh’s self-portraits. My favorite painting is Vincent van Gogh's The Potato Eaters. In the painting, there is a poor family eating potatoes around the dining table. Only potatoes! There are many historical windmills in the Netherlands. I went inside three mills. One windmill is used for milling the paint colors into the powders, and another windmill is for sawing the wood logs. And other windmills are used for pumping water. It’s amazing!   Another exciting thing is about cheese. We visited a traditional cheese market, where I saw a traditional cheese auction. Many beautiful young ladies wearing traditional dresses were handing out free cheese samples with different fla...

 At noon on Memorial Day, I went to the Ampersand’s block party to have fun.  I went to the ice cream shop with all my friends.  I ordered the caramel with whiskey-flavored ice cream in a cup. I enjoyed my ice cream. And for lunch, I went to a food truck named Spicery Bridrs, and I ordered spicy chicken nuggets with fries and honey B dipping sauce.  After lunch, we walked around downtown Fresno.  My friend Romie and I visited an art gallery store.  My favorite painting was Monterey Trails.   I had a great  time at Ampersand’s block party.  At dusk, I joined the  potluck   pool party at Palazzo, where I made Mozzarella sticks in my air fryer. I talked to my friends at the pool, and I ate all the snacks they brought with them. I ate the spicy cheese slider from Breadon and corn dogs in a blanket from Samuel. There were also BBQ chips, cookies, and drinks. For dessert, I ate pumpkin pie from Jordan and chocolate rolls from Kenny. ...

On May 16, I joined the Fresno State graduation ceremony, which  took place at Save Mart Center.  My parents came to watch the ceremony and celebrate my graduation.   I graduated with all my friends from the Wayfinders program. I wear a blue dress with flowers.  I gave my name card to the staff, who read off my name. The audience applauded. I was happy to receive my certificate on stage. The photographer took my picture holding my red certificate cover. I had a wonderful graduation ceremony this year.     

Last Sunday, I made a combo pizza with sausage meatballs, mushroom toppings, cheese, and pizza sauce. I put my pizza in the oven to bake and set the timer for 15 minutes.  After the pizza was done baking, I let it cool off a bit. I used my knife to cut the pizza into bite-sized pieces. I enjoyed eating my Sunday combo pizza dinner.  My pizza was very delicious.   I had fun making my own combo pizza. I will make it again, and I would highly recommend it to my friends and family. 

Over the spring break, my family and I went to a Napa Valley vineyard, Domaine Carneros. We went to a chateau wine tasting room. We ordered the sparkling wine sampler. We tasted every sparkling wine. My favorite sparkling wine is Brut Rosé.     We ate the pate and duck meat board with crackers and bread. We also ate the fresh oysters with hot sauce.  After wine tasting, we went downtown Napa to the Oxbow Market to shop around. I sampled the olive oil and ordered and ate the horchata-flavored ice cream from the shop.  We continued walking around Downtown Napa and went to a Historical library to look around. I saw many musical instruments in glass casings.       I had a pleasant sparkling wine tasting trip in Napa Valley.
