Time for a Movie Review


So last night I went to see this movie and I thought it was so good. I was action packed and full of suspense. It was one of those movies that when it's over, you say, "wow....what if that could actually happen?" Anyway, I would definetly recommend this movie.

Update......

I guess it is time for an update. I have been in school for like 5 weeks now and I am already up to my neck in busy-ness!!! I am taking a communications research class and this class so far has consumed most of my time and to top it off I am in a group that doesn't get along. There are 6 of us in the group and so trying to make time to meet is near impossible and we have crazy deadlines.

Then in one of my other classes, my teacher uses such an extensive vocabulary when conducting her class that I miss half of what she says. I guess it doesn't help that this is a 3 hour class that I take after 6 hours of being at work on a Monday!!!! Anyway, I will really have to rely on the book to get me through.

Last but not least, I am in my last year which makes this year just a bit more stressful. I am having to make sure that I am taking, have taken, or plan to take all the required classes. I also have to do an internship this summer and in order to do that I have to apply for the program, submitt a resume get approved, find an internship, and make it work with my already busy schedule. I am dealing with all of this while attending and trying to comprhend my classes, work to make money, sleep, eat, attend church meetings, and try to have some sort of a personal life. Oh well......I will be out of school soon enough!!!

School

So, another semester is under way and to be very honest.......I have the worst schedule known to mankind. Seriously......is it the end yet??? The only good thing about this semester is that it brings me closer to graduation. After this semester, I will have two left!!!!! Anyway....back to my schedule. It goes like this:
Monday - work from 8:30am to 3:15pm and then school from 4pm to 9:45pm.

Tuesday - school from 10am to 11:15am and then a 3 1/2 hour break where I have nothing to do, but can't come home because it is too far to drive, then class again at 2:30pm to 3:45pm and then institute from 5pm to 6:30pm

Wednesday - Work from 9am to 5pm

Thursday - same as Tuesday minus institute

Friday - same as Friday

Now this may not seem so bad because Wednesday and Friday aren't bad days, but honestly, 12 hour Monday's and 3 1/2 hour breaks between classes is enough to make me go crazy. Oh well, I guess I will just have to suffer through for the next four months or so!!! :(

DIETS!!!

The big D word. I have decided to start my diet. Actually, my whole office has set a goal to lose 20 lbs by the end of October, which helps becasue we are helping each other stick to it. So anyway, we started last Monday so it has been one week. We had our weekly weigh in today and I have already lost 4lbs. YAY!!! Good thing too, because I don't like dieting......in fact, I HATE it. Last Monday was super hard becasue all I wanted to do was eat and eat what I wanted. But, I did not give in and it paid off. I am super excited....now hopefully I can do well this next week!!!!

Bad Day

So today was a pretty crazy day. I started my day thinking that it was going to be a good day. That all changed when the earthquake hit. FYI, I am pretty scared of earthquakes!!!! Anyway, at about 11:45am this morning I was in my co-worker - Debbie's office looking at something on her computer when it hit. She screamed and flew under her desk and I ran to the doorway. My other co-worker- Nicole was already under her desk and when the earthquake decided to keep going on I decided that I needed to get under a desk as well. Only problem is my desk is kind of far from where I was standing. So there I am.....I then drop to my knees and crawl over to Nicole's desk and squeeze in with her. Now I had expected it to stop shaking after a couple of seconds, but no, this thing went on for like a minute....seriously!!!! So then, after it stops, we go outside and I attempt to make some phone calls. My phone, and apparently everyone else's, was not working, so I could not get a hold of anyone. I found out that the earthquake was centered in Chino Hills, which made me nervous, but I eventually was able to call home and find out that everything was fine. The original report said that it was a 5.8. I did later find out that the magnitude was actually a 5.4 and the epicenter was actually in Diamond Bar, which explains why my office seemed to have more destruction than my house. Anyway, after we all got settled down from that, I get this phone call from my dad and he says "So have you heard that Kotchman has been traded?" What....no way!!!! "Yeah, check it out if you don't believe me." I then go to msn.com and find that Kotchman has indeed been traded to the Braves for Mark Texiera. Now for some of you this may seem unimportant, but I am a huge Angels fan and a huge Kotchman fan. This really annoys me. Sometimes I think that the Angels make really bad decisions. I would like to give them a piece of my mind. Maybe I will just boycott the them. UGH!!!!!! I HATE BAD DAYS!!!!!!

Happy 4th of July

I want to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July and thank the men and women who have fought for the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. I am truly proud to be an American!!

Today I had a blast.....it started out with hanging out at the beach with the family:


Then, I went to the Angel game and saw an awesome fighter plane......it flew over at the close of the National Anthem:


Then my night ended with a "BANG" as the fireworks exploded into the air......and to make my night even better, the Angels won....what more could you ask for?


Overall, I had a fun day and again, am greatful that I am privilaged to live in this free country!
