Wow, I haven't logged into this thing since I started working.  I almost forgot my password.  There is no time for the internet anymore.  I dare not surf the internet during lunchtime on my school laptop (a. because there is no time for such things and b. because everything I see, my district may see whenever they please).  The last few months in ( Read more... )

Tomorrow marks the end of my 15 week stay at Weldon Elementary. This semester has been a busy one to say the least. It's been rough, it's been chaotic and now it's almost over. I HATED my student teaching placement in the beginning. I started to count down to the end by week one which is never a good sign. I didn't like my master teacher and I ( Read more... )

I wanted to make the most of my last weekend of freedom before I start school tomorrow (I am extremely nervous as always to start student teaching again). Last night I received a text message from Gabe to meet him in Old Town Clovis at The Cellar for his friend Andrea's birthday. By the time I got the message (at around 11:00), got ready and ( Read more... )

There is always a lull once Chad leaves after a long visit... After a rather difficult decision of choosing to go to Vegas or stay in Fresno for the New Year's celebration, I chose Fresno (since I've been to Vegas the last 2 New Year's Eves) and because I had the opportunity to enjoy the evening with both Patrick and Chad. Chad came on Friday ( Read more... )

...one year ago today I moved out of San Diego. It's weird to think that I haven't lived there for a whole year. It was definitely hard being back in Fresno at first, but I think I'm doing pretty well here now. An example of good Fresno times ( Read more... )

Earlier last week, Nicole left me a message inviting me to a party at Nathan so and so's house just beyond the orange groves in the country on Saturday. It was supposed to be this 5 keg, beer luge, 150 people deal. I had pretty much made up my mind that as much as I wanted to see Nicole and Ashley, I did not want to be standing outside by a ( Read more... )

Another year at the fair with Patrick. Another year of strolling through the exhibits, people watching, the hypnotist show and stuffing ourselves with artery-clogging goodness. It was everything I thought it would be and more. I love how nothing has changed at the fair. I know that I will always find the wall of bees in the Ag building, the ( Read more... )

It rained today (sprinkled,really) putting an end to another hot, dry Fresno summer. I love that it is October and that at the end of this week I can decorate for Halloween.

So every day this week I have wanted to write in this thing and now that I have some time to write, I can't think of anything interesting to say. I've been very busy since school started. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to fall asleep before 2am and now I'm lucky if I make it to 10:30. It's kind of nice falling asleep and waking up at a ( Read more... )

I thought that I would have an awesome last weekend of total freedom before school starts Monday, but I was wrong. The whole week was pretty shitty because I was sick the entire time. My immune system is fucked up. Friday night I went with Patrick to Deja Vu. I wasn't really feeling like going out, but I could tell he wanted to. Somewhere in ( Read more... )
