Back to school

Wow! talk about a busy week, school started on Monday and I haven's stop moving since.

I am proud to say that I am taking a full load this time around, a whopping 16 hours!! but I am taking classes that are focused on my degree and the classes are (insert drum roll here) Marketing, TV Production, Media Ethics, Broadcast Witting, Marketing for the Media and Tennis. I am also back on staff at The Lake Front Student News, and I am now an editor (not to thrilled, but...) I am also helping out with ads and promotions for the paper and that is what I am really excited about since is what I am passionate about. I know that my classes are going to be tough, but they will definitely prepare me for the "real world" and for that I can't wait!

As far as news from the home front, nothing really exciting. This past weekend we went to see Tropic Thunder and we were terribly disappointed =( we were expecting more comedy that random non sense and mumble words, but I guess it was still entertaining to watch. I am thinking this Sunday we should give Pineapple Express a shot, that one looks really funny, but so did Tropic Thunder.

Tomorrow I don't have to go anywhere expect to go fill up with gas before the prices really go up, (Gustav is making its way over here) I should of gone today but I was running a little bit late, well not really late but I wanted to stop at Starbucks for coffee, and didn't stop to fill up oops! so anyhow tomorrow will be nice to get time to clean the house and relax..

So, that's it!! you can go now.... lol.. =)

Sunset on my way home.

Its been raining a lot lately

Nothing new

Only five more days until I return to class and I can't believe how fast the summer went by but I am ready to go back to classes.

I really haven't been posting anything because nothing new or exciting has happen, we have been going over to visit friends, going tubing and some weekend we went out dancing. So, as you can see nothing new but I am sure that will change once schools starts, especially working at the Lake Front will keep me very busy and will give me new stuff to write about.

Right now, is raining again and we are loving it since we finally get a break from the heat and the plants get water, plus is the perfect weather to stay inside make muffins and watch movies (all of which I did today).

With nothing else new to report, I am out!!

back to working out

I have made up my mind to start working out again, I seem to have gained 2lbs since I got back and I am not going back to that. So yesterday I went for walk at the local park and it seems that everyone likes to walk at the same time, I felt a little lonely to be walking alone plus I am not a big fan of the "hamster-walking" meaning walking around without getting anywhere, I rather walk with a purpose but either way I walked and felt good after worth.

Today I started the Slim in Six program, and man those 28.16 minutes sure kick my butt!! and since my goal is to lose another 5 lbs before going back to school I have to just suffer and get to it!
.
Another good news, yesterday after my walk I drove by the tennis courts and I saw the same man teaching tennis, so this time I stopped and asked him if he gave personal lessons and he does! So I should start my private lessons in a week or so, I am so excited, maybe I can get better by the time I finish the year, now if I could only find someone to play with during the day that would be great.

Other than that, nothing else is going on. Tomorrow I will be volunteering at San Japan, San Antonio's Japanese Culture and Anime Convention, all in the name of OLLU let me make that clear.. lol..

that's all folks.

Rainy day

Another normal Tuesday at home only this time is raining and thundering, a nice break from this infernal heat.

I really have nothing new going on this week, just the normal "boring" day to day stuff...maybe I will cook something sweet later today.

Helping out my friend

This post is not about me or anything going on in my life, imagine that! actually I want to help out my friend Jess who is raising money for a turtle sanctuary called, El Tortugario located in Cuyutlan, Mexico. Jess spent part of her summer down there helping out and she is now raising money to help them by selling this fantastic photographs she took of the place and the animals. I am going to copy some of the information that she posted on her blog for anyone interested in helping out this wonderful place.

"El Tortugario in Cuyutlan, Mexico is where I spent a small portion of my time in this summer. In part, they provide environmental education to visitors, care for turtles, iguanas, and crocs, and protect turtle eggs from poachers. Basically, they all work their asses off to do something really important for our planet. I was really impressed with the center and am very grateful to everyone there for their kindness and hospitality.I want to raise a little dinero for the center so they can continue to do this work.My goal: $1,000.Applicable talents to accomplish this goal: throwing a parties, selling my photographs, and talking to everyone about it!"

"Right now, I have 3*5" cards available to sell. They are super cool and can be bought individually for $3.00 or in a set of 15 for $30.00 (the photos on the cards are the ones with a * after the title).Any photo can be made into a 5*7 card for $5.50. In the next few weeks I will have framed art...ranging from 4*6 to 8*10 and prints in any standard size can be ordered too!All the photo cards are packaged in environmentally friendly plastic & (of course) the packaging is decorated in ribbon!! The card sets will make great gifts for the holidays!!"

Here is the link to the photos available for sale and Jess's blog if you wish to contact her directly. I really think this is an inexpensive, easy and great way to help out and take care of our planet.

A new month is here

A new month has began, which means school will be start soon and I am really excited to all the new classes, and the new organizations I am part of, specially being president of Sigma Delta Pi (National Spanish Honor Society), and I am actually missing writing for The Lake Front I have tons of new ideas for the paper =)

Yesterday it was the 10th annual SAAHJ banquet, and even though I was not one of the scholarship recipient I was great to meet some very influential people, and in a way is reassured me that I am in the right place. Dinner was exquisite we all felt all fancy and the funniest part of all was trying to figure our this little trinket that we each got, so we all started to guess, it is a lent brush?, is an eyebrow grooming tool?, a camera? A business card holder? After an hour or guessing it was announced that is a screen cleaning tool!, and it actually works pretty good.

our dinner

After the banquet was over, Melissa, Tessa, Pricilla and I headed towards Howl at the Moon. It was suppose to be college night but there was definitely an older crowd that night, we it must of been college night of 1970. The music was still good and the "entertainment" was good to; let me explain that, there was this one woman who had obviously had a few and she REALLY, wanted to dance, so every song she would be out there, not the funny thing is that she danced exactly the same for every single song, and her "dancing" resemble what a chicken does when you feed them, you really had to be there even thinking about it now makes me laugh.

Today I stayed home and took care of laundry and the yard; also I officially started my recycling efforts. I cleaned our pantry and got this two bins that will have cans/alumni and paper.


Now I am waiting for Jeremy to come home and start our weekend!!
