A new challange

Tomorrow I start my internship with the San Antonio Convention & Visitors Bureau working with the Mexico-South America Public Relation Dept. I have been waiting for this opportunity to come along since I decided what I wanted to major in, and tomorrow is the day!

I am excited because the office is downtown and I feel like I am working with the big shots, and in a silly way I pretend I am in N.Y.

I am a little worry about the whole wardrobe since it has to be professional and I don't have a lot since I have been living in jeans and t-shirts for 3 years! I would love to go shopping but there is thing call money, and I don't seem to have any..

On other news, my mom left for South Korea today and when I took her to the airport I had this urge to hop on a plane to any where..

New Year, New Blog-y

A new year begins, I was so excited to be able to bring in 2009 in Chile with my family. I have set new goals for this new year, such as pay off more debt, take more time off and spend more time with those who matter to me.

I have already made some changes, the most recent one was quitting my job with the student news paper at my university, I was so sick and tired of the bullshit, the gossip and the lack of leadership if there is one thing I can't stand is people talking behind others back and them pretending to be their friends, nothing ever got done and it was really not worth my time nor the money. I really feel that I needed to focus more on my academics especially being my last one before graduation.

Speaking of school, I am taking a rather light load this semester only taking my last four courses, Media Law, Media and Society, PR and Event Planning and Desktop Publishing, I am also doing an internship with the San Antonio Cultural Arts and Events. I am very excited to work with the city and be able to get hands on experience on what I want to do with my life.

On another subject, our house was burglarised on Dec. 23 right before we left for Chile, and they took my laptop, and almost everything electronic too, this is why I was unable to write while I was in Chile. I have posted the link to the photos and will soon post a slide show of the best pictures. I was very difficult to leave Chile, and I would love to go back for at least one year and see if we can make a go there, we will see.

That is all for now, we are heading out to go to a bar-b-q at our friends house. (it nice to have someone cook for you =)

I am back.....

So its been ageeeeeesssssss since I have even longed on to the site, between school and work I haven't had much time to write.

School: is going OK, is getting rough to manage everything that we have to do, especially my broadcast writing class where I have to create commercials for TV and Radio. Also my school got a brand new TV studio where I will be working on several projects, but I am scared to break anything in there..
Media Ethics is kicking my ass too, since my teacher has quizzes every class and they are fill in the blank types, so you have to memorise the books.. I mean the 3 books that we have for that one class.. retarded.
On my other classes are I am doing good, especially on my marketing classes.
I am also searching for internships, two look promising.. keep fingers crossed.

I am looking forward to next semester at school here is what I will be taking:

Media Law (yuck)

Public Relations

Desktop Publishing

Race, Gender and Society

La Sociedad, a Hispanic marketing class.

Life:
Jeremy and I have been lucky to be going to almost all home games of the San Antonio Spurs..GO SPURS GO!! that's been one of the highlights. We are also 12 days from celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary. I looked at our marriage certificate and I couldn't find an expiration date so i guess I am stuck, just kidding. I really can't believe how fast the time has gone by.
Halloween was different this year, we went out bar hopping with our new friends, JD and Amanda. It was nice to have a mess to clean up at the house with our usual party. The next day we had a bar-b-q and watch the Texas v. Tech game and dranked a lot of beer to drown the sorrow of losing.


Upcoming events: Jeremy and I are leaving for Chile on December 26, until January 12, I am so excited to see my family and spend new years in my country. We are also going to spend the last days in the south of Chile being "tourist-y".

Well that is all I can think for right now, I will start posting more often. I just wish I knew if people are actually reading this or not... humm??

Just peachy..oh peary?

Between school, work and house chores I really haven't had the time to really write, so lets recap.
My classes are O.K some are better than others and I am still procrastinating on homework, actually I have this one essay due tomorrow and instead of working on that I am writing on my blog...anyhow, I am really liking working as the ads manager for the Lake Front but is sure does keep me busy.
Life at home is good, this Sunday we had this cold front come in and it was just the perfect day to garden. This is where the picture of the pear comes in, I went out to the tree to prune it a little and to my delightful surprise we got our very first pear!!! We have waited for 3 years now to get fruit we had even given up hope that I was not a fruiting tree. I also finish painting the front porch rails and re-planting and cleaning the flower bed, which left me with this annoying back pain =(

Another cool happening is that we are getting a hot tub this week and the best part of it is that is FREE! we just have to go get it from Jeremy's co-worker's house that apparently has this hill-like driveway so it should be a fun little Sunday, we are actually recruiting workers to move this tub, so any takers?

We got this awesome cold front today and it feels like fall already, it is so nice to be able to open the windows shut of the A.C and wear sweatshirts.
So, here I am sitting at the Lake Front office, windows open and all (let hope no bird fly in here that would chaotic), listening to No Doubt and not doing my homework.

Las Vegas is calling

30 days until Las Vegas!!

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!!
