Conversation with a stranger & social norms

Last night was a fun dinner and movie night for my husband and I. When we got to the theatre we were the only ones there and we decided to play a game of Sudoku together before the previews. We had just started our game when this man, probably around late 60’s, walked in and asked if these were the best seats, which happened… Continue reading Conversation with a stranger & social norms

First Impressions and Unexpected Changes – CSULB

I’m beginning to feel the tiring effects of my first day of school and wanted to get this jotted down before I lose my momentum. My first day of classes at CSULB was (for the most part) splendid! Before I continue though I should probably start off by stating that I’m a Sociology major. I love learning about people and the effects of our… Continue reading First Impressions and Unexpected Changes – CSULB

Just Two More Days Til My First Semester at CSU-Long Beach

Once again I’m posting real late in the day so I’m going to keep this short. Today was my Walking Tour at CSU-Long Beach and my husband was able to join me. I’m so happy I did the tour because it definitely helped calm my nerves a little knowing where my classes are going to be. … Continue reading Just Two More Days Til My First Semester at CSU-Long Beach

Feelings

Today has been a bit overwhelming. Between phone calls, deadlines, emails, and just little unexpected things that come up at work, and with personal stuff too, I’m feeling a little bit anxious and rushed. I know writing right now might set me back a little bit but honestly I need the little breather to regain focus and energy. I… Continue reading Feelings

“Write Something” A little inspiration for the writer in all of us

My husband just finished reading Atul Gawande’s book “Better”, which is all about the hospital world, and yesterday he shared a paragraph with me that instantly made me smile and reminded me to continue to believe in my writing, myself, and in my blog. It was just what I needed to read after going through some self doubt and… Continue reading “Write Something” A little inspiration for the writer in all of us

What a difference a day makes

I feel inspired again and couldn’t wait to get on here to write. It’s been such a great morning. The first thing I noticed when I woke up was this great burst of light coming through the bedroom window, and you know what that means. It’s going to be a bright sunny day in California! The… Continue reading What a difference a day makes

Relationships

Today one of my younger cousins that I grew up with had her first baby, a beautiful baby girl named Carly.  I don’t have any sisters of my own and this cousin of mine and her two sisters are pretty close to being that for me.  We shared a lot of experiences together growing up and although sometimes we lose touch… Continue reading Relationships

Topic #3 – Best Accomplishments 2010

This one was easy.  Starting my blog was one of my best accomplishments of 2010, especially considering that I have always been shy about openly expressing that I love to write.  And even more important was allowing myself the chance to really open up and say, yes, I would even love it if one day I actually published… Continue reading Topic #3 – Best Accomplishments 2010
