Yes! I worked today! Now i know this might sound odd to anyone who currently works full-time, but for not working in a week and doing nothing but school and my  boyfriend, (hanging out that is  hehe) I am glad to say i earned some cash today.
I have been use to working full-time for quite a while now, but since that whole transition of mine of switching to full-time schooling, one must make a grave sacrifice in this vanity world of ours. I'm hanging.
Now i have my babe to thank because he introduced me to the supervisor (which he would see pretty much everyday) and getting *my foot in the door* to say. Of course with the company i already worked for, i had a chance because it is the same system and concept, but different management and pay. But he helped me i the sense of my new manager (since she is a real busy woman) not forget my availability. I'll be starting to work on the weekends, as planned and prayed for, and will be attending school during the week. Many of my coworkers and Roger, have told me that i should be patient and that it will come at the perfect time.....it did. And for that i am truly grateful. This means i did not even need to miss a paycheck (of course it will not be the same..a little less than half ) but nonetheless A paycheck.
 

Just a simply blog of today, but since i don't really feel like typing all that, I'll simply use the link of my hun  to describe our day as far as s-Cryed goes. I pretty much did nothing after that but help my sister buy art supplies for her new art class in school and a few supplies for myself. ^.^

Cute pic of us!

This is not my work, (the picture i mean) i wish i can say where it came from, but i kind of stumbled upon it.



.....just wanted to post a picture......

But for current updates...Hurricane Gustav..now i know most of Houstonians might be blogging about this, but since this is my first "real" hurricane since my 2yrs in Houston Tx. I figure I'd say something about it.
Now i picked up this article on Yahoo News (I am a Yahoo user and proud!) and reading just the first two paragraphs, and with the help from my hunny, ( callmeroger ) has made me realize i should be more cautious and prepared if there were to be an outcome from nature's force.
Coming from Ca, my family and I are not use to these hurricane seasons and warnings and whether it will hit here or not. We kind of tend to have that mentality or attitude of "oh it won't hit here, it'll be alright."  But, listening to co-workers and friends about the last major hurricanes, I'll rather not take my chances. However, my family and I are not the type of people to evacuate. We stay with/in our home like may others.
But hey, latest news, Gustav and New Orleans.  I am at least glad the government took better action with this hurricane in not taking any chances for the safety of the residents and tourists there. Of course many know that hurricane Katrina took a toll on New Orleans a while back, and now knowing that something is being done at an earlier stage, it's quite a relief for many.
Well thats more than what was expected of me, writing wise...

NEW ORLEANS - With a historic evacuation of 1.9 million people from the Louisiana coast complete, gun-toting police and National Guardsmen stood watch as rain started to fall on this city's empty streets Sunday night — and even presidential politics took a back seat as the nation waited to see if Hurricane Gustav would be another Katrina.

The storm was set to crash ashore midday Monday with frightful force, testing the three years of planning and rebuilding that followed Katrina's devastating blow to the Gulf Coast.

Painfully aware of the failings that led to that horrific suffering and more than 1,600 deaths, this time officials moved beyond merely insisting tourists and residents leave south Louisiana. They threatened arrest, loaded thousands onto buses and warned that anyone who remained behind would not be rescued.

So heres that random picture now..nice huh?

 

I have that song that goes "It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine..."...cannot remember the singer nor the title, unless this is the title....help please hehe. But i know, quite ironic to sing this song, while in the beginning of a hurricane, and my random world in a box picture. Hehe ^_^

~Life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change~

With this first week of school and stress of not working and trying to keep occupied studying, i have taken this Labor day weekend to be, well, quite a laid back one.
Anyways i cleaned the interior of my car and only the interior since there has been forecasts of a hurricane (Gustav)  http://www.wunderground.com/US/TX/Houston.html , there really wont  be any reason for washing the exterior, is there?
 So other than my car and cleaning my bathroom, i have done nothing all day and enjoyed every minute of it. Muhaha!

Finally I am dedicating myself for school. I no longer work full time on the weekdays, but will be (hopefully) working on the weekends to at least keep some money flowing.
But yes I am now a true student hehe.  Not sure if there is a certain criteria for what is known as a college student; working part time, low paying jobs, but whom get quite far in their studies. (Stereotypical of me sorry ^_^)
I would be looking forward to this new semester, although I will miss the confidence of spending money in random expenses, but it will hurt  even more to spend on what truly is needed....bills. Yes that word that has us all chained to work and overwork in order to keep our middle class stature (for all those who know what i mean). 
Well here goes.
