Just Another Saturday

Hola,

Well, today is just another Saturday. It was slow as hell as work today, but I still managed to walk out with fifty bucks. I was gonna work tommorow, but my boss told me not to come in because it would be slow because of the Superbowl. I really need the hours and extra money, but I also really hate working on Sunday so I guess I don't really mind staying at home just this once.

A lot of my coworkers are quitting Red Lobster, and a lot are planning to quit I think due to the new management. I really miss my old bosses James and Farhad. Work was so much more fun with them around. I don't have any problems with our bosses in particular since I've worked with them before, but a lot of other people do. I really need this job for the next five months, so I am just kissing ass as much as I can so there are no problems and I can exit gracefully. Gosh, I can't wait for the day that I can FINALLY write my two-weeks notice !!

 On another note, I have been spending the past few hours trying to figure out how to use my new printer and digital camera. I am thrilled that I can take my own pictures and print them. I am not thrilled, however, that I have to spend more money on photo paper and ink.

Well I better go. Y'all enjoy the rest of the weekend :)

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Hola,

I am happy that I got my digital camera and portable printer for my trip today. I love my new high-tech toys and I am still learning how to use them. I can even make small videos on my digital camera. I just hope that they don't get stolen. That would suck. Thats the good news of the day.

On the other hand I am very worried about how I am going to have enough money to stay in Spain. So many bills and things are coming up unexpectedly now. First of all, I have to make unnecessary payments to my dentist because my damn insurance company refuses to pay for me even though we pay the monthly premiums. I thought that I was covered.  I am not letting this go down without a fight. I will go to small claims court if I have to.

I also need my wisdom teeth pulled, and my car is slowly dying. The worst of all is that my boss is cutting back on my hours. I have to fight to just work three days. C'mon!! I've been there for three years now and they still don't give me priority. Luckily one of the guys gave me his shifts. I am so tired of working at Red Lobster, but I'm kinda stuck at this point. I really have to concentrate on my last semester so I won't have a lot of time for a second job. Not only that, but not a lot of places are not even hiring. Oh well. I only have to put up with this for 5 more months.

I am also worried about school. I just hope that everything goes smoothly this semester and that no unexpected surprises come up that prevent me from graduating. I hope that my advisors at school remembered to tell me all the classes I need and didn't leave any out. I also hope that I get lucky and have good group members for my projects this semester.

What else? I can't believe that January is almost gone. That went by so fast. Time flies so fast, and I am just glad that I am doing something with my life right now. Because if time is going this fast now, I will be old in no time. I would hate to look back and wish that I had pursued my goals.

Well, its late and I better get to bed. G'nite :)

The First Day of my Last Semester

Hola,

What can I say ? I am not thrilled about this semester, especially since I just finished my winter session. I am especially NOT thrilled that I have some group work. There is always the chance that someone is gonna slack off.

In my Global Marketing class this girl that sat next to me was chewing gum loudly. Not only that, but when she was breathing she made a squeaky sound. Between the lip smacking and the nostril whistling I was ready to hit her. It was almost impossible to have to listen to her and take notes from the instructor. Not only that, but the instructor was boring as hell. I am gonna make sure I never sit next to her again. On a better note, Jimmy aka Mr. Hottie is in that class. He was in my Marketing Research class last semester. Hee hee.

In my Spanish class this cat came in the class and jumped on the shelf while the teacher was writing on the board. Before it came in, I could hear it meowing down the hall really loud along with the sound of the bells on its collar. It was wierd and so out of the blue. It was obviously lost and wanted its owner.

Other than that, I am glad that the weekend is approaching. I have a lot of reading to do for my classes.

Well, I better get going. TTYL :)

Spring Semester Starts Tommorow

Hola,

Tommorow I get to start school all over again. I just finished taking a final last Friday !!!! I have four classes left. I have 2 marketing classes and 2 Spanish classes.

I went to my internship today to help out. If case you don't know, I work at a startup skincare company. I helped my boss make samples for an upcoming event, and I played with her dog. She has the cutest little Maltese named Marty. I recently bought him a toy and he just loves it.

What else? O yeah, my dental insurance knows that I am eligible for treatment, but they just won't pay what they are supposed to. This has been going on for so long, and I just want this all over with. I think that I am gonna have to go to small claims court. This sucks.

My roommate and I are also waiting for SBC to hookup DSL like they promised us. It was supposed to have been done on Monday but they keep on giving us the runaround. Cingular is a part of SBC, and I've had so many problems with Cingular. Unfortunately, our apartment only lets us use SBC, so we're stuck.

Well, thats really all for now. I don't really have a lot to talk about because I've been extremely lazy since school ended. I've been eating junk food and watching the channels that come in our ghetto television.

Have a good one. Auf Wiedersehen :)

 

I left My Heart In San Francisco

Hello Everyone :)

I went to SF yesterday with my roommate yesterday. We left early in the morning and took BART to go to the Spanish Embassy. Just like I thought, the trip wasn't really all that helpful. It turns out that I need a job before I can apply for a visa, and I won't get a job until I am in Spain. So if I need to get a visa, I would have to come back to the US and then apply. Whatever !!

We also spent most of the day walking around and taking the bus. Everything is so much more expensive up there. We visited Union Square, Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39. Even though it was cold, it was nice because there weren't many people. We also watched the barking sealions. Overall, I had fun.

I also bought my new digital camera and a new portable printer. I even got a $100 rebate for it. I am slowly getting ready for my graduation and trip abroad.  I still need to buy my plane ticket.

I also went to my belly dance class last night. We worked on some moves as well as dancing with the veil. I love bellydance, and it is so relaxing for me. I wish that I had more opportunities to perform like I did last year.

Anyways, I better start doing my errands. Bye for now.
