Update on The Carwash

Hello there My Lovelies,

Okay, so I told you all about my carwash experience. Now I must tell you that a bird (there was probably more than one) took two big shits on my rear window while I was at school today.

I dunno what kinda bird it was, but it was probably huge, or at least had a big breakfast this morning.

This morning I went to school for a Paralegal Association meeting. I had a wonderful time. One of my teachers was there, as were a bunch of people in the field. It made me feel a whole lot better.

As I was leaving campus some guy approached me and asked me to vote for him for the finance position. I wasn't prepared to vote since I don't know anyone running for the class positions. I was going to just brush him off. But then he asked me in Spanish if I spoke Spanish and I lit up. We had a nice conversation. He told me that I look Latina (even though I am not) and I took that as a compliment. I like the Latin culture and Spanish was my minor in college. Then he told me about how they are raising money with a dance off and told me about the salsa dancing on campus. He wanted to see if I could dance the salsa. I told him that my schedule is filled and that I have a full plate and can't promise anything but it didn't matter. We went downstairs near the student activities place and he taught me a salsa dance.

Now I don't just go off and dance with strangers. But I was like, "what the hell" I need a little diversion, so I went. I had a great time. He was a very good dancer and gave me the lesson all in Spanish. Actually, it wasn't a lesson. He danced and I followed. And I have to say that I did a damn good job following. If I practiced I could get it down. I hadn't really done the Salsa since I was in Spain. Now Spain is not where the Salsa originates from. But since many people from Cuba immigrate to Spain there are a lot of salsa teachers. I remember when one of the guys I went out with took me to a salsa club on the beach and helped me with the moves. Fun times.

Anyway, after we were done dancing, he wanted to make sure that I voted for him so he walked me all the way to the voting office. I stood there in line and thanked him for the lesson. Then as he walked away, I stood there for another 30 seconds and ran off. I wasn't gonna vote for someone unless I knew that the person was qualified. Yeah, he was a damn good dancer, but that doesn't mean that he's the most qualified.

All in all, interesting day.

Aloha my Lovelies,

Okay, so a couple of days ago I did some spring cleaning. I got rid of a lot of shit. Kitchen utensils I never used, a lot of clothes, shoes, are now gone and I feel like I can breathe a little better.

I also came across my stuff from Spain. I had a collection of writing assignments I did, I had my resume in Spanish, and phamphlets of things I did. I also reread the stack of cards and letters that family and friends from back home sent me. I miss it all. I also found a $100 bill hidden in a card that I thought was lost. I was stoked. I broke that bill on gas.

I also stumbled across my favorite Spanish TV show that I haven't seen since I was in Spain:  Aqui No Hay Quien Viva. That show helped me improve my Spanish and provided a lot of laughs. I found the reruns on YouTube. Basically the show is about Spanish people living in an apartment complex, the dramas that go on between the landlord, neighbors and the janitor, El Portero.  The janitor, El Portero was my favorite. There is no show without him in my humble opinion. It's hilarious if you understand Spanish culture. When I found myself laughing at the episodes, I knew I had come a long way.

Anyway, I have more to say. I am working on doing a 180 and completely changing my life. It's a long process but I think that things are happening. I have different things in the works right now. I am not saying anything because I don't want to jinx it. I should elaborate more on it next week.

 

Quickie Update

Hello All,

Wow ! Today, it was hotter than Satan's asscrack. I need to go buy some summer clothes. I drank a lot of water.

Today I washed my car, finally ! I haven't washed it in over a year. I can't believe it has been so long. I took it across the street. There was a do-it-yourself wash. Seriously, it would have been cheaper to just sit at a drive-thru wash at the gas station. But I didn't know that. I filled the machine with quarters and had fun sudsing up my car and rinsing it. There was so much grime and the water evaporated off the car so quickly that I had to rush and rinse it. I thought that I knew how to wash a car quickly from working at Enterprise Rent A Car. Apparently it's been a while.

It is still a little dirty, but not so bad. I am happy that it's all white again for the most part.

Updates

Hello There My Lovelies................

I have to be honest. I am going through a very difficult time in my life right now. Those that know me personally know what's going on. Otherwise, I don't really like to get deep on this blog that much anymore. I know I used to. Right now it is hard for me to stay bubbly and upbeat in my entries, but I will definitely try for the next time around.

But I gotta say one thing. I will ride out this misery for as long as possible. It is taking its toll on my body but kinda in a good way. I am finally freaking dropping some pounds ! The boys are staring at my ass again, lol ! A couple of days ago I was able to fit in my college jeans :) I hope to look damn foxy again by the end of the summer. RAWR ! I plan to take up dance again soon too.

Anyway, I better get back to my homework. My teacher gave me an assignment that I absolutely loathe. I get to compare Proposition 98 and 99 on the upcoming ballot for the California Primary. I really don't feel like cranking out a paper on it. I am pretty much pulling this one out of my ass and hoping for a good grade. I've been there and done that before and was pleasantly surprised.

Anywho, Ciao Ciao.......

Ramblings........

Hello There My Lovelies............

I am not feeling well. It is the beginning of May, and I am sick ! Unbelievable !

I had to pry myself out of bed to take a midterm in my CA Law class. Luckily my teacher was easier on that test than his previous ones. I also had another class where I had to try and understand facts of a case. I could not wrap my brain around the details.

I am still trying to secure a good internship. It's a long process. The Superior court here sent me a rejection letter. Whatever, I still have a few other options. Better ones anyway, so I will talk about that more once I get answers.

I am still volunteering at the legal organization. It will be six months by the end of this month. I have learned a lot. They could use more funding and we work in a very crowded space, but I still like the work I do. I get to work with students from Stanford Law, which is nice. One of the women I assist is a Harvard grad. The people there are very intelligent and I get to learn a lot. I am glad my work schedule allows me to volunteer. I never really got a chance to volunteer in the past, and am finally glad that I have the chance. You can really make a difference in someone's life when it comes to the law. I like volunteering, especially when it relates to law and people who can't afford proper representation.

What else ? One of my coworkers a couple of days ago was asking about my trip abroad to Spain and I told him stories about my adventures abroad. He mentioned that he would love to see pictures. Of course I didn't bring my digital camera, but I did have this blog. So I pulled up the entries with the pictures and showed him. He thought it was so cool !

I took a trip down memory lane and felt myself longing to have another travel adventure. Right now is SO not the right time to travel....... The dollar sucks, I am in school, and still trying to pay of my debts........... Maybe some day :)

In the mean time, I have this blog. I am so glad that I wrote for the past few years. I get to look back and see what was in my head. It's nice to have adventures, but it's so much better when you have pictures and writings to look back on.
