Spring Break is nearing its end. It always, always goes by way too fast.
I don't want to go back to class nor do I want to go back to work.
This week I tried a new restaurant everytime I went out to eat, which was like 6 different places. Most were good, but there will be some I will not go back to. By the end of the weekend, I want to try at least 2 more different restaurants.

Trickle
It's like 2:30 AM, and I just got home from Man Nam and Stephen's Wedding (absolutely gorgeous by the way!). I have been running around in heels all day long and all I want is a nice, hot shower.
So I get in and all is well...then the sprinklers from outside go on. GRRRRR.... *sigh*
I ended up showering with luke warm water under a trickle...trickle, trickle, trickle...what a way to end a beautiful day :P

Wanting a New Job
In my away message today, I wrote "who wants to hire me?" This is the response I get...
knawk (6:19:15 PM): i'll hire u!
knawk (6:19:18 PM): u can wash my car!
knawk (6:19:24 PM): i'll give u like...$7.50/hr
knawk (6:19:35 PM): OR
knawk (6:19:42 PM): u can clean our house! $9/hr!
knawk (6:19:44 PM): OR
knawk (6:19:54 PM): u can cook for us! $15/hr!
knawk (6:20:12 PM): OR
knawk (6:20:32 PM): u can be our personal house transporter! free lodging and food!
knawk (6:22:03 PM): in the luxurious confines of 1500 murray lane, an elegant 1920s setting household, set in the beautiful lush hillside of the Austin country
Leave it to kevin. But when I'm in Austin, I'll take up the cooking offer!
But seriously, I really want to get a new job. I have never not liked where I have worked before. I know everyone gets that kind of job every once in awhile, but until now, I have been blessed. I'm the type to work hard at whatever work I need to do and usually I don't say much about bad stuff. I still work my butt off here; but this time, I just don't feel comfortable at my job. I don't feel like I can relate with or talk to the people I work with (there is only 3 of us). I only work with the PT (don't see much of the office admin) and I am the only tech. I don't really talk to the PT because she is usually doing something. Most of the time she is telling me what to do with each patient's plan of care. It is hard being the only tech because then I end up having to juggle 5 patients around during an hour. To me, the quality and attention of therapy that each patient gets go down when I have to run around. I like the patients I see but only about half I see is there really any communication. The atmosphere makes a big difference in how you feel when you are at work. I also don't have a steady schedule so there is no set amount of hours I work. That doesn't help me when I trying to earn and save money. Grad school costs a lot! There is a lot more, but I don't want to say. and I really shouldn't be complaining. I do have a job, which is better than nothing. Anyway, enough of that. Please tell me to stop if you hear me complaining to you about this! Sorry about my complaining!

Interview
I just finished my interview with UTMB over the phone.
I was extremely hot and sweating everywhere!
Good think I was here and not there.
So by the end of next week, I will know where I will be come summer or fall or maybe even have options of where I will be!
I'm still waiting on UT San Antonio but if I can get in the other ones, I don't care for this one!
Dinner with the parents tonight for their anniversary.
I still owe an update and interesting stories.
I'll get around to that.
By the way, the patient that said I looked rough, said I looked much better!
Haha...old ladies crack me up :P

Job Update!
soo...I got the job!
whoohoooo...I called back to the clinic on Monday told her what I wanted as pay.
She called back Tuesday and we negotiated...I kinda won but at this moment pretty anything is better than nothing. Today, I start at 8 AM! That's right folks...8 AM.
I have not woken up at this hour since I have moved home in September. I also don't go to sleep until 4 am. Well last night, thankfully I fell asleep before 1 am but...I woke up at 5 am and COULD NOT go back to sleep. I tossed and turned and got up and heard my mom yell for my sister to wake up for 2 hours. Well my mom didn't yell for 2 hours, just 5 minutes, but I rolled around in my bed for 2 hours, getting really frustrated that I couldn't sleep again.
I work at Hope Rehab as a Rehab Tech. Teresa, the manager/PT, plays KSBJ all day so it is sooo great! and there was this one old lady who, is really perky, started singing along with songs...sooo cute! This is nothing like working with kids. Working here is very routine, I am not a fan with routine. I like to be creative with my patients, but anyway it's a job.
And I have to say, I totally dispise driving in Houston. The clinic is about 6 miles from my house, it took me 35-40 minutes to get there today. What in the world!!! sigh...at least I don't have to show up until 9 am tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get more than 4 hours of sleep.
Now I have to do homework...I'm back to being busy...oh boy...

Why?
Why do I have such a hard time making decisions, especially over the simplest thing?
Is it a girl thing because thats what I keep hearing!
Is it a girl thing because thats what I keep hearing!
YAHOOOO =D
My first exciting news in forever!!!
So finally after all the wait, as you all know I don't wait very well at all, I got a call for my first interview for grad school! Yahooo...I wanted to jump up and down as I was on the phone, but then I couldn't write down all the info I needed. The interview is to Texas Tech, not my first choice but at this point I'm not too terribly picky. I don't know anyone out there anymore. Everyone I knew has graduated and left. But who cares bc I'm still freaking ecstatic about it. But right now, I have the dilemma of trying to find a flight out there without staying overnight and so far it looks like I'm staying overnight. Darn those cities out there! The tickets are about $180, and I'm going out to the land of oil...geez!
Now if only UTMB would call me for an interview!
So I start calling friends to let them know because I'm home by myself and need to let it ALL out. So then, I get another call...for a job interview! I have been looking and no one has been hiring or calling me back. The therapist asks if I could come in an hour...sure! I have nothing else to do =) I go in, we talk, and I find out she's a PT graduate from Tech and she knows people in the OT department! SCORE! We talk about that for a little bit and then got shown around the clinic. I think I pretty much got the job since she told me to call back Monday to tell her whether or not I want the job. I think salary is the issue since I asked for a bit more than she can give. We will see come Monday.
That night I went to Osaka for Diana's birthday and to the Lounge. First time I have been out in Houston. It was no 4th/6th street but still a lot of fun! Thanks to Jenny who kept saying lets go, lets go!!! She's fun :p
I guess I better go start out my Saturday. I need to go pick up my contacts. I am also craving DIM SUM!!!

a lil' something
It's been awhile, hasn't it? When I first started, I didn't (and so did most people) think I would post for more than a week.
Anyway, classes have started and so has the job hunting. I'll be back soon, but here's a lil' something to hold you over.

Thanks Gary!

National Champions!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TEXAS LONGHORN FOOTBALL!!!
Who said we couldn't win...who had doubts (*ahem* I won't name any Texas fans either)?!?! All you ESPN commentators who kept dogging on TEXAS over and over again. We showed you tonight...SUCKERS!!! and where were you, Reggie Bush, Mr. Heisman? You did NOTHING tonight, except maybe that funky lateral! haha...if anything Lyndel White was your man tonight! but who cares because TEXAS won, we won, we won!
I started getting a headache at the end of the game because I wasn't breathing. Depriving my brain of oxygen. It was just so exciting, so awesome, so crazy, so incredible, not enough time to breathe! My heart had several missed beat during the last 3 minutes of the game. After the game, Adam, Jason, Sungjin, and I went to the drag and the Co-op. Man, was it nuts out there! Cars honking, people screaming (including me!), cops every where! I wanted to go out to 6th but that would not be a good idea. We couldn't buy shirts because there were no more sizes and the lines were forever long. No prob, I'll be back tomorrow. TEXAS is #1...hands down. I don't know if I can go to sleep tonight, the adrenaline is still go
ing. I hope I can last at work tomorrow. I haven't worked in 4 months nor have I woken up before 8:30 am. It's going to be a long day tomorrow.
Like Kelvin said, "IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A LONGHORN!"
Say hello to Kaitlin, future Longhorn!
Good night!

Bowls of Champions
Wow...the Orange Bowl just ended...what a game! Triple overtime before Penn State pulled out the win with a field goal. Finally someone made it :O Gosh it was a long game.
On to something that matters MOST.....
I am so nervous right now, and I want to be in Pasadena so bad...ack!
I hope the game is as exciting as the FSU/Penn State game, with a Texas win to seal it :p
I'm driving to Austin tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some sleep. I wonder if the players are as nervous as I am. I can't wait!

Bad Elmo, Bad Sesame Street
I have the best luck in the world...just another story about my life!
The week of Christmas I found a book for Kaitlin (Kevin and My-An's daughter, close friends of mine) about potty training since she's potty training. It's called Potty Time with Elmo, really cute book with pictures that you push that make sounds and Elmo talks. Well, I was out of Houston when I bought it and other things have happened since then (that will be my next entry), and I never got a chance to bring it to her. Good thing though (I guess this can be where my luck is actually good) because Jason sent me this link about the book: http://www.local6.com/news/5784303/detail.html (click on the video link)
After I watched it, I was like no way the book I got said that. WRONG! I should have known that the book I picked up would say that. sigh. Elmo is suppose to say "Uh-oh! Who has to go?" My copy says, "Uh-oh (giggle) who wants to die?" HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. I even had Annette listen to it. She couldn't really make out all of what Elmo was saying, but she specifically said it had the word die in it! WOW! Seriously, what kind of sick person would do this?
The video says there have been several complaints, so they really should do a recall on these books! Back to Wal-Mart I go, and I'm going to tell them they should go through the books and pull the bad ones out or just take them all off the racks! Publication must not have paid attention, but then again, it's a bit hard to go through thousands of books to check for something you don't really know what you're checking for. I'm too tired to keep going. It has been a long day, and I have to wake up early tomorrow morning. Yay for day 2 of the new year! night.
