First Day at Work...

       Well after a month or so searching for work, I have found a part-time job as a store clerk or cashier at The Family Dollar in the town where I live. It's not exactly what I wanted, because I wanted full-time, but it's not really that bad. I worked an 8 hour shift today, mostly training, filling out paperwork, and getting to know my co-workers. I enjoy ringing customers up on the cash register, and connecting with people in a different, yet new way. On the other hand, I do not like standing on my feet for 8 hours. I have never really done well with standing for a long period of time, but I know that I will eventually get used to it. My co-workers are very different, and very interesting, and I look forward to getting to know them better.
       It just kills me, because I know what I want to be doing: teaching! I know that I am a good maybe even excellent teacher, even though I do not have a lot of experience. But I will never get experience if no one gives me a job! It is an oxymoron! I would love to be at the local high school right now, teaching amazing, bratty, and funny 9th and 10th graders. It would make me so incredibly happy, but apparently I am not experienced enough to teach in the same classroom that I student taught in! Oh well, in about a month or so I will be applying to graduate school, and once I am in I will be going to graduate school to become a library media specialist! Then I will have two ways to getting into schools to teach: teacher or media library specialist! That is what I am looking forward to, this year is just a working year for me!

Book # 30 and 31 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Through the Looking-Glass

Over the past few days, I decided to read one of the free books that I downloaded on my nook, to really get a feel of how it is to read on it. One of my free books was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , and the second book Through the Looking-Glass. I've read the first book a few times, but I haven't read the second one yet, and I was curious to see how these books matched up against the popular Disney movies. I love these books, for the magical, imaginative, and interesting quality that they both possess. There are so many elements that are completely odd, and yet they say something about our society, how we name things, why we say certain phrases, etc. They are so quick and on spot, that I don't think children would understand them at first, but as an adult I picked up on so many of them. I've always loved the movie from Disney, but now after reading the two books, I realize that cartoon movie is a combination of the two books. Which is interesting, but I think ...

MORE VEGGIES!

So at the beginning of my fitness journey I decided to also concentrate on healthy eating. This meant that I reduced the amount of sugar I'm eating or drinking. I'm trying to add veggies into each meal everyday. I'm drinking more water. Thus far, I have been doing really well on my healthy eating goals. For the past 3 days I have drank 90 ounces of water, beating my 80 ounce goal. That's all in thanks to my new 30 oz inspiring water bottle. I have stayed away from sweets and sugars and cut out all soda. This was very difficult the first few days, but now I don't crave it at all. I get all my sugar from fruits that I eat throughout the day. I also snack on homemade trail mix that contains some dried fruits in it when I am craving something sweet. Lately I've been trying different ways to add new and more veggies into my daily meals. I ate a lot of steamed broccoli last week. This week I did meal planning and have roasted veggies in my lunch all week. I ma...

Tattoos.... Addictive or Not?

Tattoos although painful, are something that society accepts and even praises now a days. Long ago it was something that mostly men who were in some branch of the service did to prove their bravery and have a lasting memory of the honor they got while serving. Now not only do men get tattoos but more and more women are getting tattoos, and not just in places that you can't see all the time either. Kat VonD comes to mind when I think of women who are very liberal with tattoos and look amazing and beautiful with them as well, (even if she is a man stealer). She not only has a lot of tattoos, but she is an amazing tattoo artist and runs her own shop, you can watch her on LA Ink. I waited until I was completely sure, and had enough money before I got my first tattoo last year on spring break during student teaching. I had to wait until I had a break from school, because I got my first tattoo along the side of my right foot, and I would not have been able to wear the correct and appro...
