Thunder, organization, and Chicago :)
I'm back in Cali..... Today I was woken up with the sound of thunder... quite scary, since from my deep sleep, I thought it was an earthquake. (paranoid californian! haha) Anyhow, I suppose fall is here in L.A., but then again you never know cause tomorrow might be 85 degrees again.
Currently I'm jobless... which is somewhat weird for me. I have started going to school again - taking some classes and trying to see if I can get back into school mode. Let me say, that too is weird. Everything else seems to be just about the same out here. Not much changed over the summer. (I don't know what I had expected to change).
I suppose I haven't logged lately, because there hasn't been much to write about. It's funny how now I have all this time to re-do my closet, organize my cd's, read books, actually make my bed in the morning... This week's project is organizing all my teaching materials I won't be using this year, so that they will be usable in the future. I miss teaching a lot though. I visited my students on the first day of school and realized how much I had missed them. 2 months, and they had grown and changed so much. Good thing I taught them LAST year, because this september they were all taller than me! hahaha :)
This past weekend I had gone to Chicago for a wedding. Very different - not the typical armo wedding we are used to out here (I'm still trying to decide if that was good or not). For one, the table wasn't full of 234029 mezze-s, and also they had a REAL bar, with bartenders (not the "help yourself" bottles on the tables). Overall it was a great trip, especially dinner on the 96th floor of the Hancock building... wow! I also had a chance to see Northwestern University's campus... and it made me wish I was 18 again, so I could study SOMETHING (anything) there. I never thought I'd be one of those people to say, "If I knew then, what I know now". :)
Well that's my update for now. My new discovery is www.myspace.com - check it out!
TSUH! :)~

You LA people and your weather. Some lighting hits and I read 3 different blogs about it. HAHAHA! I'm so pumped for the winter right now... bring on the snow storms!!!
Shoosh, welcome back to the non-stan (as I like to call it).
Hancock Tower is one of the best locations to have a beer at. What a view! Of course, being scared of heights doesn't help at all.
It was my first skyscraper experience in the US. I found the 'EZ' floor counter message in the elevator really funny at the time.
Ya, I would've found the numbers scrolling more amusing than the EZ though... lol It did make my ears pop... scary!
