Top 3 Grad school options for when i go back to school
so i plan on going back to school in fall of 2006...most likely to SDSU. here are the top programs that i am interested in...in no particular order...
1. Masters in Education and Student Affairs...i think i would enjoy working with students, specifically college students, outside of the classroom and being involved with student life
2. Masters in Education in Multi-Cultural Counseling (via the Community Based Block @ SDSU). my roommate Chris is going thru that right now, and i know a lot of alumni. it seems like an intriguing process which will allow me to grow interpersonally. going hand in hand with my old job as an ATC @ UCSD.
3. Masters in Education and Secondary Instruction (emphasis in Biology). my original plans for after i graduated from UCSD. those plans got put on the backburner because i didnt meet certain requirements to get into a program that i wanted to. i've been wanting to be a high school teacher for the past 5 years.
if you notice...all of my potential programs deal with education. i definitely cannot continue with my current job. it's driving me crazy, and not what i pictured myself doing with my life. i want to make a difference in peoples lives...not in the pocketbook of a big company like the one i currently work for. i'm tired of trying to meet "business needs" of my company. especially in the department i work for...it feels like theyre treating us like children...and it's the freakin entry level position of the company. i dont like the fact that we are pretty much being timed for what we do. i suppose i'd be alright with it if they gave us an incentive to adhere to their time restraints...but the bonus and incentives were recently cut as they adopted these timing standards.
well...this blog got longer than i planned for it. must shower so i can adhere to my schedule for work...wouldnt wanna be late. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =p

i wonder
how many people will be reading this blog as a form of procrastination from finals. right now as i type this, thousands of ucsd students are studying for them dreaded finals...something i am not currently worrying about. i like the feeling of not pulling all nighters, caffeinating my blood, and camping out at CLICS. funny thing is...part of me misses it...a small part of me, not that big...but still a part. although i am not a student anymore...i am celebrating spring break next week. i scheduled an entire week off of work next week, so i'll be a bum just like the rest of ya ucsd students. so what do i have planned you might ask? (you may not have asked it...but i'll answer it for you)...i'm flying up to San Francisco and i'm gonna be a tourist. you see...i've only been up there 1 time in 2003, and that was for 36 hours with 11 other people who had different yet similar agendas...so i didnt really get to look around where i wanted to look and go. so for a few days, i'll be doing that. also i'm gonna catch up on some sleep and rest that i don't get from work (remember, i'm not a fan of my job). and i may do some other odds and ends, maybe even redesign this blog. it definitely will not be a cheap week for me, but i suppose a bit of fun will make it worth it. i know i will definitely be dreading March 28th when i have to go back to work...but so will all you bum students who will be going back to school as well. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =p

so sore
from playing APSA alumni/undergrad sports day. we pretty much had a reunion of sorts today @ muir field @ ucsd. our goal...to defeat the undergrads at a few games of sports. first off, we played basketball and handily defeated the youngins in a nice game of 21. this day also marked my first time back on the courts since high school days when i constantly got injured. i didnt make much of an impact, however i did have 2 steals...but i also had 2 giveaways...but i suppose that's pretty good considering i havent played since i was 15 (other than a few shootaround games, nothing too serious...do the math 23(my age now)-15(the age when i last played ball)=8...so i did pretty well considering. the point is...undergrads won. we played dodgeball as well...basically the oldies lost bad...but we were greatly outnumbered, so we had a few of the older undergrads join us to make it a lil more even...but i think they sabotaged our game so the youngins could win...but that's just me. another game of bball was brewin while we were playing dodgeball, and from what i hear the grads won that game as well. finally we got together to play a rousing game of soccer. i didnt play too much, but i hear the grads slaughtered the undergrads so much that the game became a mixed game. i joined to play the final 20 or so minutes as a goalie. all in all...good times were had as i caught up with so many familiar faces from my times in APSA. but as i said at the beginning of this...i'm sore! must get more active on a regular basis to be less sore.
last night was also APSA talent show. like i said in the last blog...it was weird being a spectator...but i held back my nostalgia and took in the show (i didn't even help put away the chairs after the show was over =p) the show was pretty well done...although it would have been better if tech had been on their game...there were so many technical difficulties, the show lagged on longer than planned.
sometimes i miss college life...but then i remember...no extra work for me when i get home! but i do plan on going back to school....after at least another year off to work...fall of 2006 is the plan.
i stink from today...must shower...maybe the heat will make me less sore...maybe. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =p

gripe about work
so at work today, my supervisor emails me that i wasn't productive enough on friday, and that my results show that my customer time on the phone was less than my personal & after customer work time combined. excuse me for helping other co-workers out with their issues which took me away from the phone and added to my after customer work time...if there were other supervisors around to assist then my actual productivity would have been increased...but since the more senior people decided play hookey because it was the day before a 3 day weekend and there were no supers were available, i had to assist my coworkers! i should be praised for being of assistance instead of being scolded for not being productive enough. it's not like i spent my time surfing the internet or staring off into the distance and picking my nose. i too could have called in sick or something like that...but i actually showed up for work. >end gripe<

So i blog some more
I forgot to mention this...but happy 71st birthday to my dad...i know you'll prolly never read this, but i hope you have a great one, even though i wont be celebrating with you. he was supposed to come to sd this weekend to celebrate with me, but this on again/off again rain we keep getting cancelled his plans. it woulda been perfect for him to drive down too, since he has a rental car (a motorcycle hit the side of his car last week and ran off without sharing his contact and insurance info)
In other news...this is a 3 day weekend for me...my office so graciously gave us president's day off this coming monday, and then on tuesday i work from 11-9, with an hour of extra overtime. yeah, my schedule at work is differernt, ever since they put us on a rotating schedule...so basically some weeks i come in at 8 and stay til 5...some weeks i do the 9-6, 10-7, or 12-9 thing...and when i do the 12-9 week, they make us come in on sunday of that week, but i was able to trade...so next saturday, i'm working instead of next sunday. sucks doesnt it? oh well, what can i do...it's not like i can complain about it...we already tried, but the company overruled us and said that we need to meet "business needs." i don't see how rotating people's schedules is more convenient to the company than just having straight schedules with people staying in their respective shifts...what do i know, i'm just an employee.
so...what do i have planned for this weekend? nothing too exciting...the weather is really limiting things that i can do. i have been wanting to go shopping for some new shoes...but i havent been able to find a pair that i would want at a somewhat decent price. why am i being so cheap? i got a job that pays pretty well! i suppose it's because i dont like overspending on something i could prolly find at a cheaper price elsewhere. just cuz i'm working doesnt mean that i want to throw away my money. besides, i'm planning on putting a spoiler on my car maybe sometime this week...something i've always wanted, and i figure that now is the time to do it.
hmm...what to do during spring break...i scheduled time off from work at the same time UCSD has their spring break, so what am i gonna do? as of right now, i'm not too sure. i had wanted to go to the bay area to explore it, but i'm not too sure how that will play out for now. any suggestions? anyone?
wow...i'm actually updating this thing...we'll see how long this motivation to blog will last. i'm kinda considering changing the background...i've had this one for awhile, and i'm getting tired of it. ok...enough blogging, i shall return later. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

2005
whoa...it has been awhile. almost a month into 2005, and this is my first blog of the year?!?!?! this has to be the longest that i've gone without blogging since i first started blogging in 2001. so why the hiatus? to be honest...i dont have an answer. i guess you could say a bunch of different reasons: laziness, repetition of my routine, nothing to say, no need for blogging as a procrastination activity, not wanting to be on a computer after sitting at one 40 hours a week...pick one, or make up your own. does this mean the end of halohalo happenings? perhaps not...more than likely no, but i know that there is nothing noteworthy going on in my life, and so my blogs will be not quite as frequent, at least for now. and as for the highlights of 2004...you'll just have to wait until my next blog...hopefully sometime this week. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

it was the pretty much the end of 2003. well...today is pretty much the end of 2004, only new year's eve left, and then 2005. how did this year go by so fast? it seems like each year goes faster and faster, never seeming to slow down. so many things happened this year both good and bad...but i must say that 2004 was much better for me personally than 2003. normally this blog entry (the final one of the year) would be my year in review blog, but that will have to be saved for my first blog entry of 2005, because i want to go clean my room up a little bit and get ready to go to vegas to meet up with the roomies (sans Marvin). i want my room to be somewhat clean for the new year, so it's good to go when i get back from vegas. so for now i shall wish you all a happy and safe new year, see ya in 2005! stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

sick
so my roommate got me sick. i hate being sick...who doesnt. but since i'm sick, i decided to call in sick at work. so for today, i'm gonna be a lazy bum and just sleep my sickness away. sucks that i have to use my paid time off (which is a combo of vacation and sick time). it's not like college days where i could just ditch school when i felt like it. but then again, if i were still in college and i were sick right now, it would be in the middle of finals...which definitely is not a good thing. well..imma go back to my warm bed with a cup of hot tea. germs watch out...stay tuned we'll be back after these messages =/

as you may have noticed...
i have not been blogging too much. nothing really has been going on in my life. i just do the work thing, and come home and hang out with a few friends and repeat. sometimes i wonder if i will stick to this routine, or change. lately i've been thinking about what i do and if i want to stay with it, or go back to what i originally planned for myself, and become a teacher. personally, that is a goal that i have for myself, but is it financially viable for me? i have rent to pay, a car to pay for, bills, and starting in january, my undergraduate student loans. if i were to go back to school for my credential, i wont have an income to pay for my bills, and to add to that, i wont have calvet to pay for tuition because the money that i am making at my current job disqualifies me for consideration. at the same time, i see the changes that are being made within my company and how stricter they are becoming in terms of getting the results that my job requires. this job is definitely not something i had planned on doing, and i am not sure if i can continue working here for the rest of my life. don't get me wrong, i like many of the people that i work with, and it is not too hard of a job, but is it me? time will tell where i end up. crossroads...
thanksgiving is on thursday, and i'm heading to Las Vegas tomorrow morning. my friend Ana is accompanying me for the trip, since she can't go home to Oakland. i figured that since she would be down here by herself, why not bring her along. besides, company is always nice on a long road trip. i'm getting a rental car because i dont wanna put miles on my car. btw...people who throw rocks at moving cars suck! no further comment on that =x
well, enough of my random ramblings...my entries will be off and on since i am not in school anymore, and i dont need to procrastinate by blogging here. hopefully my loyal and adoring fans will continue reading...and if not, oh well...happy thanksgiving...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages %=)

Stupid Cingular/AT&T!
just got my bill, and it's for $767!!! i have never gone over my bill on any of my cellphones that i have ever had, and now this?!??!!?!? so it looks like they stopped crediting me for any of my minutes as paid or free nights & weekends on october 12, and just charged me $.40 a minute i used until the end of my billing cycle. i guess that means i will be paying them a happy phone call tomorrow morning....i wish their system wasnt down, i would call them right now (which i did when i saw my bill)
election day...bush is leading...why? enough said...
