live, laugh, love

 ok.  well....i am finally posting.  yea i realized that its been like almost 3 months since i last posted.  and that sucks.  i mean i have been doing a lot of stuff but i guess i jsut never find the time or the need to update sometimes.  but last night gave me a reason to update and to kinda vent about something that was brought to my attention.

last night im at work and eric texts me saying to let him know when i get off work.  which was weird cuz he never does that.  I mean i dont ever see the guy during the week cuz all he does is work.  i only see him on friday and sat and sometimes sunday.  and like yea at first it sucked but i have gotten used to it over the months and well we have adjusted fine. 

some background is that he works for a company called Foxxcon and its in fullerton.  and his job pretty much sucks.  hes always working hellish hours.  like going in at 930 and leaving the office at around 9 at night.  and hes not getting paid hourly hes getting paid salary.  so all those hours prettty much for nothing.  cuz hes also not getting paid too well but i mena u know as his first job he took it.  Foxxcon makes electronic equipment.....like xboxs, wii's and what not.  they ahve different plants all over the world.  and its a taiwanese based company as well.  anyways the plant in fullerton makes Apple products.  and well he is in charge of making sure the production goes smoothly.  he doesnt actually make them but he oversees that they are making the quota of products a day and waht not.  well there are two people that do his job.  him and another chick.  so they split their shifts most of the time and when shes away he has to cover for her which is why he works really hellish hours lately.  

so getting to the real point of my post.  he wants to see me after work cuz he has something to tell me.  and that was that his company is moving to dallas.  they are moving everyone from fullerton over there.  and well since he is one of two people that can do his job he needs to go over there and work and then help train other people.  cuz apparently this place is 4 times bigger then the plant here.  so he kinda knew all this was gonna happen but he was asked if he wanted to go and he said no.  well...he finds out yesterday that the other chick that does his job as well is quitting.  so that meansits just him and well hes pretty much forced to go to dallas now.  

so that leaves it with us.  he wanted to know waht i would think about the whole situation and of course i dont want him to go!!  and well he was worried with waht i would say cuz i mean.....we've done long distance before but when he came back for good i had mentioned that i dont know if i could handle that again.  it was really tough for me!  especially since it was the beginning of our relationship as well.  so he remembered me saying that i wouldnt do long distance again so he wanted to ask me how i felt and what i would do.  and well....point is...i dont want to break up with him!  i mean i love him and i just really wish he wouldnt go.  and well he told me that his intentions werent to break up with me either just because he was leaving and that he wanted to work out long distance again cuz we have already done it before.

so i decided that i would rather do long distance again rather then breaking up with him.  cuz i even asked if waht he wanted was a break then?  and he didnt want that.  he said that if we take a break then would i really be coming back to him.  and well....u never know.  i have no intentions of meeting other people or hooking up with anyone else so yea i dont want a break either.  so then he tells me that hes leaving to dallas in 3 weeks!!!  im like whoa wait....3 weeks!!  i cant believe it.  

the only good thing is that its not permanent.  he said he would be out there for a minimum of 6 months to a max of a year cuz thats waht he signed for in his contract.  so thats one thing thats making me feel better about the whole situation.  we have been a part for over a year already im sure we cna do it again.  he says he plans on visiting at least once a month hoping that his job isnt gonna give him too much of a workload.  so i can only hope that he really does come down once a month.  also i guess i cna always go visit him out there as well.  it could be a new experience.  havent been to texas. haha.  

so yea.  that leaves me with 3 weeks now with him and then who knwos when ill see him next.  waht gets me the most is that he wont be here for my birthday.....or even our anniversary!!  it will be 3 years this july 10th.  and i cant believe i wont even be able to see him on that day.  thats kinda what hurts the most.  gosh i relaly hate this situation.  after having him here for over a year i dont know how im gonna adjust.  it was always..the weekend with him.  or some form of it.  i mena i cant even jusr randomly call him and say hey lets go do this.  or on sat nights just hang out or go to the movies.  gah!!!  im really sad.  i mean...sat nights were our nights.  we had a routine,  i worked in the morning then as soon as i got out i called him and we figured out waht we should go do at night.  im not liking this one bit but hey i cant be selfish!!  thats the mean thing.  i need to be supportive cuz hes only taking this because there are NO jobs out there right now.  i mean the economy sucks and he can only hope that in  ayear from now when he comes back that there are more job opportunities out there.  i dunno.  i think my main fear is him never coming back.  he siad its only for a year but waht if they offer him something else while hes there....something that pays more and there still being no job opportunities here???  

well...i guess ive said all that i needed to say and if anyone actually read all of this then thanks!!  but yea i dont expect anyone to read it cuz its super long.  but i guess as of right now i can only spend wahtever time i ahve left and wish for the best with him.  its not gonna truly hit me until he leaves on may 6th.  gosh thats too soon!!  we'll just have to wait and see how things pan out then.  =(

well today i did absolutely nothing!  haha.  but i was stuck watching all networks and watching our new president get sworn in!!  haha man this is such a magical day.  everything ws perfect.  Obama really kicks ass and im so glad to call him our president.  his wife is wonderful and his daughters are too adorable!  haha im really proud right now.  and i had planned to pretty much do nothing but watch tv.  I even noticed that plenty of schools needed subs......so weird.  and nobody was picking them up.  I felt kinda bad cuz there were like 6 schools that were listed and their start times were way past an hour or so and looks like no one picked them up.  i even had a high school call me and i was surprised cuz i never get phone calls.  but sorry....i wanted to be a part of this moment.  haha watch im gonna regret it since there is nothing posted now adn watch me not get anything for tomorrow .  oh wells. im still glad i was able to bum around and watch all the evnts on tv.

im a very proud american!  anywho......so other then that ive just been enjoying the last couple days off.  times like these make me think a bit.  some good and some bad.  anywho all is life i suppose.  but everything will be ok i guess.  alrighty well all i wanted to write about was my uneventful yet exciting day!  hehe now im just watching for the inaugural balls to start!  yay

so my dog ozzie turns 15 today.  wow 15 years old.  he is an old dog and has the old man coughing hack that he does but hes still a bit energentic.  haha.  anywho i remember getting him in 4th grade.  4th grade!!  wow.  15 years is alot of my life.  haha well anyways.  happy 15 years Ozzie!!   =)

well...its def been a while huh?  haha well happy new year everyone!  even tho it was like 2 weeks ago..eh better late then never. 

anywho well not alot has happened lately.  ive just been lounging and working at the og and enjoying my time off.  well..i can recap a bit.  for christmas we spent it here at my house as usual and as usual we all had tons of fun. we all were drinking of course, beers for the guys vodka shots for everyone and wine for me!  hehe and then we played our annual white elephant game.  yay!  there were 37 of us playing.  haha wow thats a lot of mexicans in one room!  hehe anywyas i scored some nice wine glasses.  so thats cool.  and of course the night ended with me not remembering anything cuz i was pretty drunk!  hahah gotta love the drunk times with the family.  on christmas day we all went to church and ended up staying at home.  it was nice cuz it was kinda rainy and well....i was kinda sick.  haha but we watched the lakers win!  and well....pretty much did nothing.  haha gotta love lazy days.

anywho for new years i was able to get the day off and eric and i planned on going to hermosa with his friends and waht not.  the night was kinda crazy needless to say and i wont get into it but at midnight i was able to get my kiss with eric.  so all is well with the world.  hehe it was fun none the less.  on new years day i had to work so whatever.  i worked a massive load those last two weeks and well i was off for vacation for subbing so i gotta make some sort of monies.  hehe

now as for now ive just been chillen.  im subbing for long beach district and they only get two weeks vacation so they came back jan 5th.  now i knew i wasnt gonna be getting any positions open that first week cuz well all schools came back and the only teachers that are gonna be needing subs is if they really really are sick or somehting.  anywho so i didnt sub all week last week.  which was ok.  i just lounged and worked at og at night.  no worries.  now for this week.....its been kinda hard finding anything!  i look online and if i see something i click to look at the details and its already taken!  man people are fast on there.  so yes this week so far i havent sub yet.  and then i looked today and there is a note saying that there is a freeze on teachers professional development days and so that means in less need of subs.  so that sucks.  plus it also says that teachers are most likely gonna assign subs especially in elementary and well i just started subbing so no teachers know me yet!  so we'll see if i get anything this week.  i really hope i do!  usually what pops up is for middle school....and well im hesitant sometimes cuz those kids are scary!  hahah

so yea.  ive just been chillen.  haha enjoying my vacation and sleeping in. haha gotta be nice...sometimes.  but i need to get back into my groove of subbing cuz that one month where i subbed alot i really liked my paycheck.  haha well at least i stilll have og.  anywho i just gotta find stuff to entertain myself with now. hehe

so this weekend was amazing!!  I finally worked again at the og an it felt kinda weird cuz i hadnt been at work for a while.  hehe.  but friday night was kinda good so i cant complain and then i just went and hung out with eric afterwards.  On sat i worked in the morning and then we went to disneyland!!!   this was our first time going with the decorations up.  and eric got his pass that day.  so now we are annual pass holders!!  yay!  hehe.  but the thing is....the blackout dates start on the 20th til the end of the year and im going to new york this weekend so we might not be able to see the christmas stuff again...unless we go the first 4 days of jan which could be a possibility.  anywho...we didnt get there til about 730 almost 8 ish cuz there was a massive accident on the 91 that they had to close the freeway...apparently there was a double fatality accident.  pretty bad.  but yea we were stuck on the freeway for a good 45 mins.  no bueno.  anywyas the first thing we did was go to cali adventure to try the new toy story ride and let me say.....it is freaken awesome!!!!  i luv it soo much i could go to disneyland just to ride that ride a million times.  hahah.  and yes i beat eric!!!  too bad i didnt get any photo documentation.  haha but he vowed to kick my butt when we go again.  haha  so after that we saw the fireworks andw hat not and then we stayed til about midnihgt when the parked closed....so it was fun stuff but we were soo exhuasted when we got home we knocked out.

on sunday.......well....i got my christmas gift already from eric......an iphone!!!!!!!  lol.....i am soo excited about my new phone!  haha i wasnt really thinking about getting one but my contract was up this month and so eric decided to get me one.  yay!  i will be paying more a month but itll be worth it.  hehe.  but yea i just got it and im soo addicted to it.  i mena internet and eveything at my fingertips!  hehe so yea i got the 3g one but only the 8gb cuz well....i dont even hvae an ipod myself so not like im gonna be using the music portion quite often.  but yea im excited and thanks eric!!!!  i really love my boyfriend...he is the best ever. 

ok adn well other then that i now have to prepare for new york!! i looked at the forecast and well....the high is about 25 degrees!  yikes!!  haha but im gonna have lots of fun and ill be able to see the tree!!  yay.  hehe anywyas....i gotta go shopping now for boots and warm clothes!! 

you know...i look at my journal quite often...yet i dont feel an urge to update sometimes. haha.  but im bored now so im gonna do it.

so thanksgiving week was good!  so i found out that for the week of thanksgiving the olive garden was going to be closed.  not for the holidays and not for health concerns...which seems to be the reason why people think.  but we remodeled the kitchen.  like we literally gut the entire kitchen and got new ovens and tables and grills and stoves and the whole thing!  even knocked out some walls and waht not....and well og just couldnt be open for that amount of tiem.  they figure that the store only lost 4 days since we wouldve been closed on thanksgiving anywyas.  but anywho i still havent been back to work.  haha ive been enjoying my days off. i actually got kinda excited that i didnt have to work that week and well i had requested the weekend after thanksgiving off anywyas so it worked.  i go back to work on thurs.  so ill get to see the kitchen and everything. 

so that week was awesome.  it was erics 25th bday on the 25th!  hehe.  and well he didnt really do much on tues for his actual bday so i didnt get to see him =(  but we went out to dinner on wed and then clubbing was planned in hollywood at Opera/crimson for friday night.  oh man that was great times.  ill get to that later.  but tues was also my aunts bday!  so we went over and had alot of family together.  thats all she wanted was the family to get together.  so thats one reason why i didnt see eric on tues.   and then on wed morning i went to breakfast with some aunts and cuzins.  so good times indeed!!

as for thanksgiving i went to my aunts house in corona who i never really see and i saw cuzins that i havent really talked to in years....so it was def good times!   now onto friday for erics bday.  man o man.  that place was soo much fun.  there were soo many people.  and erics friends got bottle service and i swear we had the best table in the whole place!  it was like super vip.  so anyways the drinks were good and i had a couple shots here and there and having agood time and then all the alcohol just hit me.  well...that and i hadnt eatne since about 3 that day.  so yea thta was a bad combo.  also eric made me take a shot of whiskey which i dont normally drink!  and well....pretty much i dont remember the end of the night i threw up and got us kicked out.  haah well they kicked me out.  and yea the next morning filling me in on stories was just funny.  i swear i dont remember taking pics and everything.  but....i felt bad cuz it ws for erics bday and i got trashed!!   but eric is the best ever!!!  he took care of me and let me crash at his house and even washed my dress as i passed out on his bed.  hahha i havet he best bf ever.

haha so after that fun night i went to a thankgiving potluck on sat and i vowed not to drink cuz i as still feeling kidnda bleh.  i dditn really have a hang over so taht was good but was still kinda cautious. 

so yea that was my wonderful week!!  i really wish i could repeat it.  but anywho.....so for erics day i got him a gps cuz he really needs it!!  he always gets lost so i hope he enjoys it.  and well he already told me my christmas present but ill wait til later to tell everyone. hehe im kinda excited.  

but other then that....im going to New York next week!!!  im excited....ill get to see my sister and im going with mayra and it should be tons of fun!! i hope its kinda snowing.  i wanna feel the cold....hopefully not too much and see the christmas tree!!  thats the one thing i really wanna see.  hehe so i gotta go shopping now for coats and waht not.  cant wait!!

ok well...christmas is gonna come up fast.....but im gonna post again soon.....i really promise this time.  haha

ok so...ive been subbing alot lately.  which is good.  so the last time i wrote i wrote about how my first day of subbing was gonna be soon.  well that day came and let me say...it was prob my worst experience!!  haha i have to rove classrooms.  so i was in a third grade class first and they were all soo noisy and talkative.  and waht would get me upset was that the actual teacher was there....only they had these writing workshops and so a group of teachers would come to the classroom and some would teach a writing concept and then the others took notes....well when those teachers came in they were quiet...but for me??  no.  haha so then right after that i had to go to a 4th rgade classroom and that was much much worse!  they did not listen and were walking around and waht not.  ugh it was soo bad.  yea im never going to that school again unless its for kindergarten.  hahah.  so yea that was my first day experience.

after that i was a bit skeptical of subbing but then i realized i can be choosy at times and pick which schools i want so from then on out i have choosen wisely.  Ive subbed about 7 more times after that and they were real good.  hehe i guess i needed that first experience to learn from.  all the assignments have been pretty easy as well.  I even did a middle school for a history class on election day.  so that day was cool.  but they were very chatting.  i feel like i can be such a pushover and i hate having to yell....but i had to yell at some of the classes to quiet down.  also in middle school the students are taller then me!!  haha thats sad. 

but anyways irecently just finished a 3 day subbing in kinderarten and i loved it!!  it was in a bad ish neighborhood but my class was soo good!  just goes to show that the neighborhood doesnt matter its the kids.  anywho.....other then that today was  adya off since schools are closed and i already picked up a middle school math postion for friday.  i picked it up quick cuz since i have a subject matter authorization in math i get paid long term sub pay for that one day.  haha definitely looking for more of those.

other then subbing......ive been working at the og too!   ive been a busy person now.  some days i sub and then an hour later im off to serve tables.  but the money has been good.  im geting paid on friday for my subbing for the first time.  the one thing im gonna hate is getting paid once a month.  im used to geting paid weekly at og and then always having cash on me after  a shift.  hehe so im just gonna act like i dont have this sub job and once a month ill be like...whoa a good paycheck.  hehe.  

halloween came up and i went to hermosa.  we went to sangrias and that was alot of fun.  i always look forward to the weekends cuz i always end up doing something fun with eric.  i only get to see him friday and sat so of course i make the most of it.  i wish i could see him more sometimes...but ill take what i can get. 

other then that....i got my disneyland pass!!  so i should be going alot soon and i cant wait for the holidays!!  thanksgiving is already 3 weeks away!!  and then christmas then new years...ooh its gonna be good.  also im going to new york in december!  i hope it snows when im out there.  im gonna visit my sister and mayra is coming along too...so it should be good.

ok so.....I finally got all my paperwork done for Long Beach.  I am officially in the system and I can start subbing whenever I want.  So they have this system where I can check for any sub jobs online and so i looked and found one for wed for a 3rd grade classroom.  I got scared by thinking about subbing for some reason and i hesitated but then i clicked to accept it cuz if I dont get my first day over with then i never will!!  haha so my first subbing postition will be on wed for a 3rd grade classroom from 745 to 230.  eek man i havent been up that early in a while.  I dunno i guess im scared cuz I havent had a classroom to myself.  I always had my master teacher in the room or I got to know the ways of the classroom first before actually teaching.  so im real scared!  but.....i do enjoy the fact that Im actually gonna be teaching.  the only thing that im confused or worried about is not knowing what im teaching.  whenevr i taught lessons i prepared myself and well...i really wont know what ill be teaching until i get to the school.  so that kinda worries me especially since its not my clas and so used to have a problem with extra time.  I wont know aht to do if i have extra time.  aha.  well...im still nervous but i have to go through it soone ror later.  I know a month from now im gonna be like...oh wow i cant believe i was scared.  but we'll see how it goes.  wish me luck!

other then that...ive really been doing nothing but being a bum.  i sleep in everyday and i work at night.  and well work has been kinda slow cuz of the economy and what not but ive still been making pretty good money.  but the good thing is that I made my last car payment last month so thats extra money this month that i automatically save.  hehe so yea just gonna pay off some more bills now. 

also im going to disnyeland soon!  i think sudnay.....and then im gonna get a pass.  eric and i have been talking about getting a pass for a while and now with the decorations coming up and waht not we figured to get it this month.  so that should be fun!

ok well...last week i had two interviews.  First was for long beach.  and this was just a simple interview to get me into the district..so nothing for an actual position or anything.  but anyways i was real nervous but in the end the guy said that i did well adn that he would move me into the next pool of applicants where pretty much if any schools have openings they choose from this pool of applicants.  he also asked if i was interested in subbing and i said yes cuz i would like to start doing something ya know.  i mean i enjoy my over extended vacation but i would like to start doing something too.  anyways.....so that is good news.

now on friday i had an interview for a torrance middle school.  i would be teaching math there.  I thought the interview went well.  i was interviewed by the principal, vice principal, and two math teachers.  well i got a call this morning and didnt get the job =(    boo!!  haha i really wanted soemthing full time but i guess......this just wasnt meant for me.  they said they went with another applicant.  so i am now back to searching.  i mean at least i got to find out pretty quickly.  oh wells......

but now this means i still have long beach.  so im hoping they call me this week cuz they said in order to sub i would ahve to come in and fill out some paperwork and what not.  so hopefully i can start doing that.  i guess its good i have something to fall back on.  oh wells...im sure long beach pays more anyways.  haha. 

but at least i still have the og.  i mean i wish i wasnt tehre anymore but i still havea  job in this weird economy!  haha.  so yea.....still enjoying my overextended vacation.  cant complain about that i guess.  haha

so...some good news finally.  I have two interviews this week!!!  haha.  well tomorrow I have an interview for Long Beach district at 11.  I found out about this one about a week ago and so i was real nervous and excited cuz I mean someone finally responded back to me.  haha but i figure they are just gonna tell me that i can sub now which is good cuz i need to start making some extra money.  I mean im making ok money at the og but i could use more. haha.  but yea i would finally feel like im doing something with my credential and wahtever.  haha

but!!!   just yesterday i got a call from torrance and said if i was still interested in teaching middle school math.  I am qualified to teach it and well i know ill take that opportunity if given to me.  So i said yes.  She said the school that is looking for one is at Hull Middle school in torrance and ge tthis.....its the closest school to Olive Garden.  hahah so at least i know the area and its real nice.  hehe.  anyways i have an interview for them on friday.  I am more excited about this one cuz its an actual position that im interviewing for!  hehe.  so yea how about that.  I hear nothing from them all summer and now 2 interviews in one week!!  hahah finally i wont feel like such a bum anymore...although i will miss my over extended vacation.  hehe.  but yea we'll see how things go.....

other than that...just been working and going out of course. Eric and i have done soo much stuff wiht this friends every weekend.  I love it.  I think this weekend tho is gonna be a mellow weekend cuz the last few im been sleep deprived...haha but its all been fun!  i love his friends they are too much fun. 

Ooh and im going to New york in December!   my sister is gonna be staying out there for 3 more months and so i took the chance to go visit her again out there.  I really wanna be there when its snowing and when the tree is up in rockefeller center.  and mayra is coming with me!  hehe i know shes been wanting to go for a while now and well this will be out best opportunity cuz we cna just stay at my sisters apartment.  shes staying in Manhatten so i couldnt ask for a better spot.  hehe but yea were both excited and booked and ready to go!  haha

yea i feel like life is falling into place...although some things could be better but i am loving life right now =)  wish me luck with the interviews!! 

I am  back!!!  I am back from the lovely and gorgeous hawaii!!  hehe I had a real great time while we were there and the weather was just amazing!!  like we could walk around the main street in waikiki at midnight and still jsut wear a tank top and shorts.  I mean i never needed a reason for a sweater or anything...just gorgeous.

anyways we did alot of stuff while we were there and did the major touristy stuff.  So we did a sunset dinner cruise which was fun!  and saw a show on our first night there.  the next day since we were still on cali time a few of us went to the beach to try to catch the sunrise...yes....i said correctly...sunrise.  haha i never wake up early but yet while i was here it was well worth it.  anwyays crazy part was that it started to rain a lil bit....the locals said its tropical weather and so every now and then a cloud comes by and it rains.  hehe it was pretty cool tho....and watching the surfers out that early was crazy too.  

anyways we did pearl harbor of course and that was pretty amazing....just...kinda sad u know knowing the boat is still there and peoples bodies are there.  i mean its just crazy thinking about it.   after that we hit the beach for a bit which was beautiful.  the water is soo warm there!  and there were tons of people but it was just amazing.  then after that we hit a luau.  haha this was the main thing i wanted to do.  I really wanted to do luau and my goodness...the guys were soo hot!!  i really liked one who winked at me...hahah (stop it johanna!) hahah but it was fun.  the next day we did an island tour on a bus and we got to see the whole island...we were all pretty tired from the night before but it was fun and we got to see parts of the island that i had no idea about.  after that we saw a magic polynesia show and that was fun too.....on tues everyone else did snorkeling while me and one of my cuzins stayed cuz she had a fear of deep water or something.  anywyas we hit the beach instead.  I got soo burnt!  and red.  haha we were at the beach for like 5 hours.  I just couldnt get away i was soo relaxed.  it felt real nice tho.  then later that night we just chilled and shopped and what not.  

during the nights we just went to like bars and waht not....the bars and clubs close at 4 in the moring there and since there were plenty walking distance we didnt care.  thats why it was nice that the weather was just beautiful.  

but overall...i had an amazing time!  and im already wondering when im gonna go back.  although while iw as there i wished eric was with me the whole time!  i mean its soo romantic that u wanna be there with someone u love..aww.....haha and there were soo many people on their honeymoons and waht not that it made me wanna go there for mine!  haha sounds soo cliche but its just wonderful!  maybe eric and i will plan a trip there one day....haha.  but it was cool being with the friends.  i miss it already!  hehe anyways i posted some pics on my facebook but i'll show ya the link anyways....i have two albums so both links are different....enjoy!  =)

ok so ....ive been enjoying my summer and waht not...but now...I am getting extremely nervous.  I still havent found a job!!  and school should be starting in a few weeks.  I have sent out my applications and have heard nothing yet from anyone.  I mean am i doing something wrong?  also i have a supplementarty in math so i could teach middle school math if i wanted and yet i havent heard anything about that either.  sigh this whole thing is starting to get my nervous and aggravated.  I mean i dont know waht to do anymore.  It looks like for now i might as well just sub but i dont want to do that either!  gah!  this is soo confusing.  I hate how they are not hiring teachers at this moment like when they did a few years ago.  I guess i just need to have faith in the way things are gonna go for me.  I guess it'll happen sooner or later.

On a happy note i guess....its almost Hawaii time!!!  i leave on friday already and come back early thurs morning.  I cant believe how the time has just flown by.  I really can't believe that ive been talking about this for a while and now its finally here.  Well i guess i need some vacation time but my plan was to have a job already.....yea we'll see how everything works out.  anywho....nothing else going on...just me working so save up for hawaii.....

alright well i gotta go take care of some business....Hawaii here I come!!  =)

 this weekend was perfect....wine tasting was amazing and most of all spending time with eric was the best.  

I really enjoyed wine tasting in santa barbara and the tour that we took was awesome.  It was real fun too.  we had about 20 people on our tour and everyone was soo nice and funny.  and the guide was funny too!  but i loved how we were being educated about wine adn how to taste wine the right way and waht to look for.  It was just amazing and the weather was perfect.  we thought we were gonna be super tired cuz we were being picked up at 845 so we had to leave early since it was about an hour and half drive to ventura.  we didnt get to actually stay in santa barbara cuz there were no rooms available but ventura wasnt too far off and they did pick ups there soo...it just worked.

we got a couple bottles of wine adn even tho eric is not much of a wine drinker he did enjoy himself so that was great.  so afterwards we went and grabbed some dinner and stayed the night in ventura.  the day was just perfect and I love him more and more each day <3  wow....2 years.  freaking crazy how time just flies on by.  

anywho....so this week I am going to be busy working and putting out applications.  i got my credential in the mail last week!! yay so i can do and apply to places now.  I already applied online to LAUSD so we'll see how that goes...still skeptical only cuz I would prefer something in my area...but if i could get somewhere else not to far away in another district then ill take it too...even tho LA pays the most.  hehe but we'll see how it all goes.  

Anyways this has been an amazing week!!  and i cant wait for the rest of the summer to see waht else can happen...definitely one of the best summers ive had so far....although the summer 2 years ago is tough to beat...hehe

 so this past weekend was pretty fun.  On friday they blocked the street for 4th of july and so all my neighbors were just partying in the street and bbqing and what not...they had jumpers and everything for the kids and set up a volleyball net across the street...it was pretty fun and relaxing.  But i didnt stay all day so i ended up going to Irvine to bbq at Phil and Crystals house.  and that was fun.  the usual; crew was there adn yea most of us got pretty toasty....haha but it was still good times....we didnt get to see fireworks but thats ok i still had fun anywyas.

sat was busy cuz i had a bridal shower to go to for joyce in the afternoon.  that was real fun...its my first like bridal shower for a friend.....and even a wedding.  Ive always gone to like family weddings and what not adn now this is the first friend wedding and it jsut means were that old!  haha friends are starting to get married and waht not...prety crazy...anyways it was a tea party themed and it was the cutest one i have been too.....it was fun.  

later that night we went to bubba gump and then mai tais to celebrate a birthday for cindy.  it was good times for everyone but at the end of the night i was pretty exhuasted...i also didnt drink too much since i had drank alot the night before...hehe but it was good none the less.  I jsut like hanging out with everyone every weekend =)

last night i just chilled....i took a nap that i very much needed right before i went to work and then afterwards i came home and felt sleepy again!  haha i guess the weekend is just catching up to me....anywho Karen adn Mayra even called to see if i wanted to go out around 11 and i was alreaedy sleep that i declined...i felt bad tho since i hadnt hung out with them for a while...but i was too sleepy.  anyways i slept until very late this morning...haha oops....anywho....

today im just chillen but i might pick up a shift...just cuz...i need money....haha.  anyways my bday is tomorrow!!  yaya and i have nothing planned....haha i really dont care really...its just another bday.  so we'll see waht happens....=)

ok...so last week i found out that i didnt have to take that summer school class.  Apparently...and i dunno why it took me this long to realize...but they didnt count units that i got credit for when i took the AP calc test back in high school.  I got 6 units for passing that test...and well that wasnt counted into the 32 units that i needed to get a subject matter authorization.  so i was looking at rate my professor at the teacher i was gonna have...and apparently shes a bitch!  and is hard.  and i like really dreading going to this class over the next 5 weeks.....well i dunno how it happened but i was going every single possible solution for not taking that class and then it dawned on me....that those units werent added.  so i called and the lady said that on my official transcript it just said i got credit but not for what..but on my unoffical transcipt it shows that i got credit for a calc class.  so yay!!  i dont have to take that math class anymore!  i am officially on my summer break.

so..what have i been up to now that im on summer break??/  work!  hahah well last week was graduation week....so we packed like no other at work and well im not being scheduled monday thru thurs cuz of my old availablity....so ive just been picking up shifts....i worked 6 days last week but i made soo much in tips....its ridiculous.  so my plan is to work at least 5 to 6 days  week from now on cuz i gotta save up!

but i feel like july is gonna be the month to remember!  i know its gonna be fun filled with lots of activites and i cant wait!!  of course this meanas i gotta work alot to get the monies to spend!  hehe but thats ok.....i cna do it!

things to look forward to next month!

 ok...well.....i am now officially done.  hahah.  well i graduated!!  finally.  I graduated on May 29th!  it was amazing.  I am finally happy to be done with everthing.  That following sat my parents threw me a party.  and that was lots of fun.  man I still cant believe its all over tho.  Im happy but its like wow...its time for that next step in life.

One thing tho...is that Im sstill gonna take one class over the summer.  apparently i found out that I only need one more unit in math to get a subkect matter authorization added to my credential...which means i could teach up to high school math if i wanted....well i decided that it is only one unit which is only one more class....so even tho it took me a while to finally gett the idea in my head that i would have tot ake one more class i figured it was all worth it.  Who knows i could be teaching high school if i cant find any elementarty postions.  Im gonna be taking trig.  they told me i should take like college algebra but none was being offered at harbor during the sesion that i wanted.  So im taking trig....it was between that or geometry....and i like trig much better.  so whatevs...i start june 16 to july 17 should be interesting

as far as everything else goes.....I have been doing absolutely nothig!  hahah ive been waking up at 12 oclock everyday....gosh thats horrible i know but im enjoying it so far.  But I have been working all this week.  I need to start saving money for  this summer....apparently i could ahve alot of things planned with Hawaii being the ending thing to save for.  But its the main thing to save for.  so excited right now.....
