Hmmm....so I've moved again, it's not a big or exciting move, it actually feels like a big step backwards. But, I guess that's fine, sometimes you have to take some steps back before moving forwards. I'm now living in my parent's house. This is the first time I've done so in 8 years. I feel like a super big loser, but I know it's temporary and that before too long I'll get my ducks in a row and I'll be out on my own again. I just feel like I may have made a very big mistake, I left LA a year ago, moved into an apartment in NYC with my supposed best friend and now I'm in this very shitty situation where I don't have a full time job, don't know where I'm going to school and no idea where to live. It kind of sucks to feel this way, but I guess I brought this upon myself, I wanted to shake things up and I never wanted to spend the rest of my life in Los Angeles; things were just so much more stable there and I didn't realize things would take so long to fall into place here. I had a job, an amazing apartment, a social life. And now here I am a year later with none of the above.
And the cherry on top of this glorious sundae is that my room at the house is a disaster area! I don't have any room for anything; the bedroom is more of a museum of my past accomplishments than a room. I know I need to make the room livable, but I don't want to spend an insane amount of time to fix up the room when I know it's a temporary situation. Seems like a waste, and I also don't want to make the room too appealing cause I do want to leave sooner rather than later..

Cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
walkin' on, walkin' on...broken glass.
Yeah, as the title and catchy tune suggests I very recently fell victim to the fiendish plot of a rogue piece of glass wanting to spend Sunday afternoon in the heel of my left foot. And I swear, as god as my witness I will never walk barefoot in my apartment again! (picture scarlett o'hara making a slightly different promise) But seriously glass in the foot, not fun! At first I wasn't even sure if it was glass, all I knew was that it hurt like a son of a bitch (sorry for the swear, but it really did hurt). I'll leave out all the gory details, but I will say that the piece of glass is now out of my foot and I avoided having to go to the hospital, so that's good. I really didn't want it to be a big ordeal.
Anyway, I think that's all, I just felt like posting about it. It happened, felt like sharing. The end.

A Clever Title
I suck at updating blogs...I find it strange that I do in fact have 3 blogs right now and I never update a one of 'em. But I'm trying and doesn't that count for something?!
So let's see, since I last posted I completed my semester as a non-matriculating student at CCNY. My grades still haven't been posted and I've been anxiously waiting to get an email from one of my professors about our final project. But I shouldn't be holding my breath cause that teacher was a little insane in the membrane. But at least the books she made us read were informative and educational. I now have to figure out a great many things. Like where to non-matriculate in the fall and where to finally matriculate in the spring. I wanted to bulk up my GPA before applying to Education Graduate Programs. I think I have a fear of rejection, but that's neither here nor there.
Anyway, I also need to find a new job....perhaps a job that involves education....and children. Plus I'm also kind of sick of my hour and a half commute to Queens. That's been a pain in my butt for the past 10 months. I need to try to focus and study for my LAST exam which I'm taking a week from Saturday. Lots to do and here I sit at 2:30 on a Thursday morning doing none of it. Instead I'm just worrying, I found out today that my roommate wants out of our apartment as of August 1st. So that's fun....not knowing where I'm going to live. I can't afford the apartment myself and I don't even LOVE it, certainly not enough to stay and try to find a new unknown roommate. I can barely live with a friend, I definitely prefer living alone. Man, that was the life. In LA I had a one bedroom apartment that I loved!!! It actually pained me to give it up.
Anyway, I think I'm done whining this morning, but it's nice to see all the things I need to be doing written out like this, lots to do. I guess this is what happens when you move across the country and want to make changes in your life, I'm not sure if I like it just yet.

Hello
Hello and welcome to my blog. For some reason I've been very into blogs lately, I don't know why. And I don't know what I have to offer the world, in terms of blogging, but I'll give it a go.
Tonight I had my first class, I'm taking graduate courses as a non-matriculating student and working my way towards becoming certified to teach and ultimately get a masters in education. I'm quite excited, while also quite nervous. I've been out of school for almost 5 years. I got my undergraduate degree in 2004, so I'm a little rusty, but I'm hoping my gusto and interest in becoming a teacher will help me succeed. Anyway, I think that's it for now, I've got work and more school tomorrow, maybe I'll update tomorrow with an anecdote or something, we'll see.
