its a crazy life

this picture has nothing to do with this post
i took it in April when we went to denver
its just a blur of chino from deftones
aka too much moshing in the pit for a steady picture
aka awesome
aka somewhat similar to life right now
aka aka crazy

and a busy one at that.
there is so much i need to
but dont remotely have the energy to do it
which makes me also lack motivation
the first being work on my geology class
the second being write on this blog
oh and clean house/do dishes

today was my last day at independence high
kinda sad
i will mainly miss the girls from 3rd hour
they are a group home
so they have all had a rough past
but i am going to try to go volunteer with them
i really do enjoy hanging out with the girls
but they also need some to be a friend
so i am excited to help them
and for some reason
i guess i am just drawn to hooligans

but in similar news
i am going to try to finish school a semester early
so that i can do an internship
instead if student teaching
i just feel that it would give me
the best experience and a better
jump start into the job world
and hopefully getting a job placement
when i graduate

i would really like to see myself
teaching at a school
for problem girls like the group homes
for some reason i just have a special
connection with them
and enjoy helping them
but we will see

i start at a middle school next week
so i guess i may decide that
i love pubescent children
and that i want to teach middle school

sometimes i fee weird
that i have such a passion for teaching
and then these post
like i wonder if people read this
and think that i am weird

oh well
all in a days work

bobby and i want to get a cat
or dog
hopefully we can work it out
or find a new place
which would mean i still need to take pictures of this place
but maybe a new place would initiate
a cleaner lifestyle and more
organized home
because of less mayhem
when we are moving in
aka not getting married

also another thing i have noticed about
being so busy is
i am so tired
and hungry
all the time
i take vitamin
and eat enough
maybe i need to eat less
so i will lose weigh
really just need to work out
but thats when my lacking motivation
comes into play again

its a vicious cycle
the life of a college student

until next time......

enye

i officially became a piña a while ago 

but i was sad to find out 

that most places dont support the "ñ"

social security, drivers licence, school records 

they just do the base letter and no tilde

and it is sad to me 

because i like finally having something interesting 

and the tilde is the best part 

and makes piña interesting and unique!

and a lot of people dont know

how to pronounce 'piña'

case and point: my mom

and she always corrects everyone else

and calls us 'pena'

frustrating.

it is also funny because 

for some reason ever since

i changed my name i have had an influx 

of people asking me if i am latino

just with the change of my last name

and i guess i could kinda fake it?

im not that dark

my spanish teacher asked

if i was latino even

and the other day the guy

from the multicultural office

at byu came into my office

and saw my name tag with 'piña'

he then went on asking me if

i was latino

and even after i said no 

he asked my if i was sure 

like 'are you sure youre not latino?"

haha yes. i am rather sure

but the funniest thing is 

bobby is not latino looking at all 

so it comes across very strange

and people dont typically believe me

or under stand

but i am trying to learn spanish 

so maybe i will look more latino if i become fluent 

and then i can play the part

and tonight i met two new spanish partners 

to practice with and get better at spanish

i am so excited

they are both from mexico 

and they just seem like such cool kids

i really love the hispanic culture 

and i am excited to get to know Betzi and Carlos

and help them better their english

(they both already speak really good english

so they just need pointers)

when i got home from the meet and greet

i coudlnt talk in english to my mom

i kept wanting to say everything in spanish

so thats good right?

and my spanish class has got my in the 

weird bad habit of calling all

my teachers 'profe'

so i am slowly learning!

just very very slowly 

more life

well tomorrow i teach 

my first for real english lesson

i hope it will be good

i am more nervous for my lesson friday 

but i am sure itll all go over well

i am really so excited to have 

my own classroom

and be a teacher

it is just something i have a true passion about 

I think bobby and i have been 

watching too much Breaking Bad

the other night i had a dream 

that i worked for gus 

i dont remember if i was making meth

but i do know that he made me some offer

working nights for $65 an hour

and i turned it down so that 

i would have the energy

to do my mini student teaching 

that i am doing right now 

haha strange huh

on the zune topic from the other day 

i broke my screen on my zune

my zune i have had since my hs sophomore year

i am so sad

it is just falling apart 

and now i have no idea what i am going to do

because i will not conform to apple 

you can see bobby's impact on me haha

speaking of bobby

he is so sweet

he got me this ^ orchid one day

that i was feeling sad

and!

tonight he took me out for tacos 

and ice cream!

and he asked to buy me crackle nail polish

isnt he the best

work had been so crazy

monday was the add drop deadline

and now we can schedule for the rest of the semester

so i seriously have had no free time 

and yesterday i left with 

5 emails still in the inbox

but one of my biggest pet peeve

which i dont understand...

it will be really busy 

and we will all be on the phone

so obviously we cant answer

other incoming calls

but people will call our office

and get the voivemail

cal back 5 more times

then leave a voicemail

and then keep calling non stop until 

someone finally answers their call

like seriously?

i sometimes wonder if they dont realize

that i can see how many times they have called

its a little invention called

caller id.... connected to your inbox

and do they think i wont call them back?

and then if they end up talking 

to someone else in the office 

and i dont know 

so i will return their voicemail

they get all mad for bothering them

people. 

we are weird......

no wonder we are hated

licence

It was a sad sad day when i had to do this
they punched my beloved colorado licence
and i had to convert to be a uterrrr

i guess i really couldve kept my colorado
and just renewed it there
but i forgot to when i was there

i also hate how close in they zoom
when they fricken take your picture
like seriously
zoom out a little
no one looks good that zoomed in
oh well  i guess

but i really need to wear my glasses
it is was bad news

however i didnt want to get a glasses restriction on my licence
so i planned on not wearing them

i walked up to the eye test thing
and looked down the hole
i started reading off the letters
"12, 21, 32"
the lady was like
'uh there are no numbers in there...'

ha luckily i figured it out
but its bad news
i really need to wear them
more than just for school

one day i will learn
or not

just life.

Well life has been pretttyyy crazy
just busy
and exhausting
thats why i havent blogged more

today we bought eggs for the very first time ever.
the both of us.
we just arent big egg eaters so oh well i guess

in other new
last weekend with my mom and sister was very nice
we shopped our hearts out
and went to park city
passing by this ^ water fall on the way there
kinda pretty

i wish i had more exciting things to say

ive been wanting to buy a new zune for years now
but they kinda dont make them anymore
it is sad
there are rumors that they will be releasing one more though
so we will see

bobby and i have been together for three years!
its so crazy!
and we both completely forgot
its like once you get married you just forget about everything else
best three years ever :)

teaching is going well
i really love it
i cant wait until i am done with school
and can be a real teacher
that is if i can get a job

i guess the bakery has fought to keep me
lets hope someone else will

well i will get back to cooking
yes i cooked tonight!!

newest member of the family

Meet the newest members of the family.

They cost more than I do.

seriously.

not more than bobby though

cause he cost a lot (tickets, court fees, electronic, etc)

so after a serious of ridiculously unfortunate events

and a very sad and frustrated bee

we welcome them home.

next step 

kitty cat

no joke

i am going to convince my landlord

because there is no way a cat 

is any worse than

our neighbors several birds and life size gerbil cage

but on a different note!

first week of school down!

and i have already written lesson plans 

signed away my soul again

and so many other things

but i still love it

really just learning all of this about teaching 

makes me so happy

it is what i want to do

now. today. for real.

i used to be so anti junior high

but after this week and learning more

i am seriously considering it

first off

the government just redid the standards

and now all of the state have the same standards

"common core"

and when they created this

they up-ed all the requirements

so now upper 8th grade 

is pretty much doing what

i was as a senior

second

we had a teacher who came in

and just talked all about 

middle school 

and how the kids are such a good balance

so i will just have to see

and decide for myself

but i start in my classroom tuesday

high school first

its an alternative hs

so itll be different

small classes

a lot of diversity

i think it will be a good experience

eee tuesday!

and i am so exited

and really not to nervous either 

and my mom and sister will be her in t minus 3 hours

fun weekend shopping!

no school monday!

teaching tuesday!

eeee!
