She’s Greek & Funny…Plus Other Random Thoughts for Today – CSULB

I really, really like my Professor from my Aging & Sociology course. Today we found out she’s Greek and very funny. She’s one of those instructors where you don’t even glance at the clock to see how much time is left. She reminds me of the kind of person you’d love to have as an… Continue reading She’s Greek & Funny…Plus Other Random Thoughts for Today – CSULB

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

The “Happiest Place on Earth” + Friendship

Today three of my friends and I treated my best friend to a day at Disneyland in celebration of her birthday. It was a sort of double celebration for our friend because it had been a very, very long time since she had been there so she was long overdue for a visit. Although we were only there for… Continue reading The “Happiest Place on Earth” + Friendship

A little time out from the busy day…

I have just managed to complete a bit too many tasks within a 2 1/2 hour time frame and finally had to tell myself to sit and relax for 10 minutes. And of course the next best thing to relaxing is relaxing while posting. If I could be sitting poolside that would be even better… Continue reading A little time out from the busy day…

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

Today is the perfect day to write about this topic. I truly believe that all things happen for a reason, even the difficult things. There have been so many moments in my life that while I was living through them they sometimes didn’t make sense, especially when they were painful or scary. In time though… Continue reading Yes, things happen for a reason

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
