O Spring, Spring, wherefore art thou Spring?

Every year I look forward to Spring, but it seems that the past two years Spring has not sprung but rather run!

It has been gloomy and rainy here in Sacras.  I will say that some days have been beautiful, but not many.  I love spring weather and I love everything that comes with it.  I hope that Wednesday's gloomy weather will be the last of its kind.

I miss you Sun, please come back soon, but not with a vengeance.

How is your spring going so far?

I just wanted to stop by and say a quick hello and post some of my DC/Baltimore/NY pictures.  The pictures are in that order too!

E tu March?

Every single month of this very young year has left me wondering where time has gone!

March has seemed to passed by with a rapid "woosh!"

I cannot remember what exactly happened in March.  I hate how time seems to be accelerating as the school year progresses.  

Here are a few little notes on what happend in March, or so I hope :-?

I hope April lingers around as long as possible. 

Our classroom had a very cute visitor.  This little guy made me want a new pet!

The above cutie wasn't the only visitor my classroom received.  Sneaky sneaky!

Mr. J and I had a very yummy Mocha shake at our favorite dive "The Gatsby"

Not so happy animals adorned with silly hats.  It was a little hard to concentrate on my drink. 

April will start off great!  We will be in another state, visiting an amazing friend, and crossing off three things off my bucket list!

Last Weekend as a 28 Year Old. Gulp!

Today started off really well.  I went to sleep after 1 or so and I still woke up at 8am.  I stayed in bed, but I was able to get some web things done, it was really nice.

After waking up and cleaning up a little I went to Denios, a flea market in Roseville, with my friends Courtney.  We had a good time, I found a really cute owl figurine to add to my collection and also bought some yummy fresh veggies. I love Denios, its so kitschy and fun.  I always find the best things there and always enjoy the sun and people watching when I go.

Now I sit here thinking of what to cook for dinner.  I think Mr. J and I will take a little midtown field trip and check out a few good movies.  I really want to go watch these movies, but then I feel my art studio calling my name.  I really want to organize my room, I can't work in there and I think once I get it done (yet again) I will be in there more often.

I have been wanting to see Blue Valentine, and after reading a little about it I am really excited to see it.



So far this weekend has had a great start, I am enjoying myself, lets see what the rest of my 28th year of life has in store.  Turning 29 is not as scary as I imagined, but I still feel a little flutter in my heart when I really think about it.

What its come to

I returned from my mini vacation from Yosemite in a very unmotivated state of mind. You would think that because I went to such a beautiful place I would love to create beautiful things, or at least write about them, but for some reason or another I cant get the mojo going.

One thing that can be contributing to this hesitant state of mind could be my constant, I really mean incessant, job hunting. If I am not on-line looking for work, I am thinking of finding a job, talking about finding a job, and just plane being consumed by this endless hunt for employment. I recently (not so recent, December) graduated from my CSUS credential program. I secretly have always wanted to be a teacher, but those dreams were shelved for a quick second. In college my aspirations were to become a Lawyer, challenging the system and its corruption and all that jazz. After working at a law firm and in different areas of law I decided that the legal system can suck it. Law was just not for me, that isn’t to say that don’t love to discuss law, or that I wouldn’t return to the legal field, its just that I would not peruse my law degree. My career aspirations have always been fueled by my want/need to contribute to my community, mi Raza. After deciding that a Legal degree was not for me I went back to my first love, Teaching. I have been relentless in my pursuit of my own classroom and job at a school, but unfortunately our education system has been knocked out by the one-two punch of the effed-up economy. I have come to the realization that more than likely this coming school year I will not be employed in the education field, other than as a substitute. My job hunt has now been expanded to grasp all fields where I can qualify to apply; mainly legal, admin and clerical. I have had some leads, and fortunately my friends have been really supportive and have given me heads up on some possibilities. I am really excited about one possible employment opportunity, but I will only share this once it evolves and becomes a Yes/No thing.

Going back to my blogging. Recently I decided to write something about me, daily. What was I thinking where I decided to do this? Sleep deprived maybe? Well technically since this is my blog I already to write about “me” therefore this idea is completely redundant. Today after a long day of “trying to fix my moms flat tire after the tow truck picked it up” game I came up with another gimmick idea. I decided that I would create a new category for my writing. Some of my favorite blog crushes do it. Ten things Tuesday!!! That’s what I came up with. Every Tuesday I will write 10 random things about me, my life, my creations, life in general. What do you think???
I know its not Tuesday, but being that the day of the week does start with T I will make an exception and write 10 things Thursday tonight.
See you then.

Love
Pita
