Ok, here is the skinny so far - Since I've been back in Cali and staying with my folks, I've learned to shed the "oh my god, I need to stop slacking and get my ass in gear" train of thought, which by the way kicked in hours after arriving, and have learned to enjoy this time off and relax.  After twenty some-odd years of school, I think I deserve a ( Read more... )

Please, please please tell me you did something fantastic this weekend then you can tell me about it and I can live vicariously through you!  I worked, so not a super fun weekend for me.  I helped my mom out at the store, which is fine - $60 is $60 - but waiting on customers and folding the same sweater 198 times is not so fun, so I hope you have ( Read more... )

Hey All! I just wanted to drop a quick note to say that we have arrived safely in Cali. I'm pretty tired right now and don't particularly want to set foot in my car for quite sometime, but it's good to be off the road. We saw and did some amazing things on our trip, which I will let you know of at a later time. Now, I need sleep. Just wanted you to ( Read more... )

Well, my dear Florida friends, the time has come.  Today is my last day at work and Monday starts our cross country trek to California.  I just wanted to let everyone know that I don't know how reliable my internet connections will be at the places we're stopping at, so if you don't hear from me, that's why.

I have put my itinerary of stops in the ( Read more... )

I'M DONE!!!!  I defended my capstone yesterday and I am now a MASTER!!!  Yea!!!  I thought I did a crap job, but everyone there said otherwise - you always have a different perspective when it's you who's doing the talking.  I had amazing friends there to support me and I thank every one of you!!

Ok, now I know that MOST of you will take that in the completely wrong direction, but I've come to expect that and would be disappointed with anything less.

Now, after tomorrow, I will have my Master's Degree in Marine Biology & Coastal Zone Management - hence "Master Rosa". I am defending my capstone tomorrow at 4 pm and besides being terrified of ( Read more... )

So, when is it appropriate to wear a ball cap?? Working in a library, as I do, I would think that the wearing of any kind of head-gear would be inappropriate, as it would be in any office setting. Now if you work outdoors or some such thing, then I could see wearing a hat and having a good reason for doing so. I bring this up because my office ( Read more... )

Hello! This is my first, of probably few, posts on LJ. I'll tell you upfront that I am HORRIBLE at keeping journals, online and otherwise. I'm on here mainly to keep in touch with friends as they have berated me for not having an LJ and accused me of being a MySpace whore...and they are right. So I gave in and here I am! I'm still learning all ( Read more... )
