My student's first place

Boys and Girls Club had an essay/art contest on the theme "What I want for x-mas that money can't buy." My student, Favian, won first place! :-) He wrote "A world of impossibilities." And drew a bunch of weird stuff. Pretty nifty! :-)

:-(

Dad said that Granny has a 20% survival rate. She is going to die soon. Dad is going to Canada on Friday.

Things are starting to fall into place...

Well.... I am the skipper for the Jungle Cruise. I just got a long term sub position in Anaheim. Who knows? Next could be an actual teaching job. Marriage.... babies... woo hoo! :-D

Jungle Costume

Oh year... I wanted to add something. They changed the costume for Jungle! And I don't like it! I look like a park ranger!

What I really want

I would like someone to give me a basket full of goodies. A bunch of misc things that is me! :-P

Adding to my wish list:

1. Making Memories Trimmer with the self sharpening blade :-)

Training at Jungle

Today was my first day of training at the Jungle Cruise. My trainer was Deane. I had fun, sleepy, but fun. The people there were really nice. Lots to learn, but not too bad. I just need to remember some terminology such as "Hit it Skip!" and "Dock it Skip!" Also, I need to put together some sort of spiel. They have pre-selected ones that I should choose from. I have to really remember where the derail tracks are. Because if I don't keep my boat at a constant speed, the boats can derail and I will float away! :-P I have more training this Sat! :-)

Today....

So I found out that today that I will be working on the Jungle Cruise!!! YaY!!! :-)

Went to the mall today, circled around two rows a couple of time, looking for parking. Just when I was half way going up an aisle, I saw a car in the front pulling out. So I raced, but not too fast because there were a lot of people walking down the aisle, to get the spot. Just when I got really close and lady in her SUV decided to turn in against the aisle for the same parking. Well, when the car pulled out, I went right in. The lady honked at me and was all angry at me. I just looked at her and pointed out that it was one way and I got the right of way for that spot. Plus I was not about to wait for her to take forever trying to turn her SUV to get the spot.

Also, I was leaving Target earlier. I see a dad, playing with his baby, who was in a car seat type of thing on top of a shopping cart. Thought it was cute. But in his hand, he was holding a cigarette!!!! Right behind him, was his wife and what looks like a three year old girl. Gee... great parenting... giving your kids second hand smoke.

Stupid people.

Black Friday and Orientation

This morning I decided to go to Staples around 6:40. I figured that it won't be busy and I also wanted to get a compact flash card for me camera. Nope, there was a line, not huge, but a line. All of the compact and SD memory cards were gone. :-(

Went to orientation. There were about 32 of us. Only 6 of us were going to attractions. One guy is going to Haunted Mansion. :-( I wanted to go there. Oh well. Orientation was long and boring. We ate sandwich at the closed Eat Ticket. Not much choice there. :-( I was put at Indy/Tarzan's Tree House. Art the trainer coordinator called me later saying something about my attractions, so I have to call him the next morning. I wanted to go to Jungle. :-( Oh well, that just means that I don't have to loose my voice! :-P

Job Fair

So yea.... did the teacher job fair thing today. It kind've sucked. Every single districts gave me the same answer: We don't need multiple credential right now. The market is tight. That I should sub. Blah Blah Blah. Especially since I tell them I have had my credential for a year. I noticed that the majority of the people there were graduating next month. And the districts were just giving them big smiles and telling them to apply. As Joe puts it, putting a show for them. ggrr...

My orientation is this Friday.

Job Fair Tomorrow

Well... Wish me luck on the job search! Tomorrow is the teacher's job fair at CSUF. I am going to shine tomorrow! Make people notice me! :-)

I have to also turn in paper work at Disney. I will be in Advertureland attractions! :-)

Stamp Expo Day Two

Well.... I went and did not get very much. Just picked up some last mintute stuff. Much more quiet today. Was going to buy from this booth, but they don't take credit card. Either cash or check. I would write a check but they want my drivers licence info on it. Heck no!

Isn't the cards beautiful!?!?!? I love the Chinese take out box. And the girl on the tag reminds me of me. :-D

Rubberstamp Expo in Carson

I had fun and spent wayyyyyyyy tooooo much money! But I got a couple of needed items such as the scissors made to cut the mounting foam. I bought a bunch of unmounted stamps, they were sooooo cute!!! I also got this nifty thing where its like watercolor on paper where you can carry it anywhere and materials to blend color pencils. The make and take were fun.

The flower on the tag was actually made up of acrylics with holes drill into them that you can sew. You would use staz-on ink for the color. She also had them on her purse for design! Think outside the box! :-P The other one on the bottom right was actually made up of stamps! Isn't it gorgeous?!? The other one, on the bottom left, some lady did it. I can't do that!!! But so pretty!!! I have one more make and take to take a pic of. It's so nifty! But I'll post later! :-)

I do this every year!

Well.... I went shopping... hopping to start present shopping... but I bought presents for me! :-P There goes one thing on my wish list. I bought the EZ curvy cutter along with the circle template. I got to use a 40% coupon on both of them at Tall Mouse today! Woohoo! :-)

Family Night at Jordan Middle School

Today, the Fam. Lit and After-school program did family night together. It was ok. Except the jr. high school kids were pretty much a wild bunch. Had to stop them from getting into a fight. Get them away from food so the parents could get some. But arg!
