Alexxa Update


Alexxa and some of her friends from CSUMB.


Alexxa alien head, and all her friends that are out of this world.

I have talked to Alexxa several times since she moved to Monterey. She is missing home, family and friends like crazy. She said she struggled through her first couple of weeks of class. She doesn't quite have the hang of things yet, like on line classes, assignments and homework; I did reassure her, however, that this will get better with time.

Soccer is not going as planned as well. She is red shirted (not on the traveling team), and the team trainer thought that she had a hairline fracture. It ends up that she has shin splints close to her ankles (I thought they had to be on your shins, thus the name shin splints...who knew).

The good news is she has made some friends and has been keeping herself occupied with different activities: going to the beach with friends, making videos in dorm rooms, hanging out with friends, going to soccer get togethers, ice cream socials, you know, the important stuff.

All in all, it looks like things are lgoing okay. Like I said, it will take a little time to adjust, but I have all the confidence in the world that she will be successful and end up loving it there.

Things I'm thankful for today:
Alexxa
