Though I review all the thing's I've done in the past few days, it seems as if I hardly did anything. . This past Thursday I finally turned in my application to Pepperdine.  Though I have that accomplished I still have to make sure my transcript and letters of recommendations get in on time as well.  I probably won't get an answer until the end of ( Read more... )

An hour or so ago, I went outside to clip my nails as I always do on Sundays.  Out there I began thinking about my current work situation.  Prior to going outside, I was told to stop complaining about Bakersfield, by a close friend.  Trying to ignore the negativity I went outside.  There I realized that no matter where I am, I know I'm not going to ( Read more... )

It only seems like days the month of April had just began and yet before the end of this week I will find myself in the month of May.  It is truly amazing how time can go by so quickly and slowly simultaneously.    Being able to look forward to special occasions such as weekends or banquets really seem to help pass time.  For example, this coming ( Read more... )

So ends another week of my life.  After what seemed to be a quick work week and a jam packed weekend, it seems like time flies by and another week of work is about to begin.  This past week, we welcomed in our new office assistant.  He seems to be a promising addition to our staff.  Though his accent may be heavy, his intentions to do well are ( Read more... )

First off, I hope everyone is having a Happy Easter.  For some reason, this is the first year I realized how much people care for Easter.  I know it is an important day for the Catholics and Christians, but I never knew it was a national holiday as well.  This morning I went in for church, and was forced to park on the streets because the church ( Read more... )

I hope this makes up for the disaster of a post I wrote yesterday.

One duty my job entails is the management of the finances of the residents.  So usually our residents have payees who send our residents money from their SSIs so that they can spend their money wisely.  I am in charge of receiving and logging these checks into our account.  Each ( Read more... )

Today seemed to be the longest Monday I've had for the longest time.  Though I still dread the drive to Bakersfield, I must admit that for the past few months have gone quite quickly.  I have truly gotten use to being here.  I can recall feeling the same about my first year of college.  Riverside was new and I wished I didn't have to make that ( Read more... )

the last thing my mom said to me before I left for work is, "Smile, you look more handsome when you smile."  The amount of denial my parents have for me is unbelievable, or is it just apathy.  These experiences give me the force to strive for a better relationship with my children when they come along.  More importantly however, while driving away ( Read more... )

wow where to begin?  Tonight I just arrived back to Bakersfield after an eventful work week last week and an average weekend.  The big news overall is that after 8 full months of working in Bakersfield I finally got my 2nd & 3rd group of visitors.  Unfortunately, both groups came Thursday night and were only able to stay for what seemed like ( Read more... )

Well it is Sunday again so this is usually write my blogs.  Especially since this is the most free time I have here in Bakersfield.   Seems like it's been a long time since I've been here, but when I was at home it did not seem that long.  I left Bakersfield early last week due to an argument I had Wednesday morning with my dad.  Words were ( Read more... )
