One day at a time...
one day at a time I suppose is not realistic for me right now. I am ok with that, at least I know that I will come back to this blog as much as I can. Just got back from the NASPA conference in Chicago, very fun but glad to be back. I will have to blog about it later.
I have to work tomorrow Sunday we have a reception for high achieving students that were accepted to SB in LA tomorrow. I will be there to help answer questions about housing and residential life along with other colleagues.
Well I'll be back later,

TIRED!
OMG! I have so much work to do! It is definitely going to be a long night and the co worker that I was supposed to be doing these things with is still on vacation! unbelievable! I am mad, but that does not help anything so I am just going to keep going and hope that I go to be at a decent time. I will update later.
about to have breakfast, lunch and dinner all at the same time today, did not have time to eat :(

Finally back in SB!
Finally back in SB and already started working, even though I officially start at 9am today. Tried to get myself a bit ahead with work, and I did but still much more to get done. I should get a lot done this morning but I need to get to sleep! I am so wide awake though, dang it.
The train ride was smooth with no complications. There were several students heading back to UCSB but I still managed to find a two empty seats so I was pretty comfortable. I couldn't find an empty space for my luggage at the end of the car I was in so I had to put it on top of my seat. Damn suitcase was so heavy! and I did not bring everything I accumulated over the break, so I will have to return this weekend.
The train ride this time seemed so fast since I watched a movie that pretty much lasted the whole train ride. I rented 500 days of Summer before I left home. It was a cute movie, and funny but I couldn't laugh as much as I wanted since I was in the train and didn't want people to think I was crazy, lol
So when the train gets to SB I usually call the cab if I didn't arrange a ride before hand, so that when I arrive at Goleta I can just get into the taxi and head home. I called right as we were leaving the SB station, and the dispatch lady seemed perfectly competent and said sure we will have one. Well I should have known it was going to be utter caos when we arrived in Goleta since like I mentioned before several students were on the train heading back to UCSB. When I got of the train I headed straight to the taxis, there were several of them from different companies. I had called Gold Cab, of course there were like seven of them, mixed with other taxis as well. Several students getting into all the taxis, people talking, this man with a mini bus calling out to everyone if they wanted to a taxi. Totally looked not legit! lol so I start approaching the Gold Cab taxis and non of them seemed to be for me, I was getting annoyed since the reason I called was to avoid the caos I was dealing with. I went to one side of the madness and called Gold Cab again and this time I was annoyed so I asked the dispatch lady what happened to my cab and she said well there are several cabs there are they not, and I responded that they were but non seemed to be for me. I did not want to ride with other students, not because I think I am better than them or anything like that but I wanted to get straight home and not shuttled through Goleta dropping off students in SCat, IV, then Manzanita, the rest of the buildings and finally me, which is usually what happens becuase my building is the furthest away and closest to the beach. I just wanted to get off the train, get in my cab head home and be done with it, well it didn't happen like that. The dispatch lady said she would have the taxi driver call me, well he didn't for a few minutes so I got even more upset and ended up getting in another taxi van that already had four students in it, and of course exactly what I did not want to happen, happened! first SCat, then IV with two students, then Manzanita Village and finally me after a half hour of the ordeal of figuring out what taxi I was going to get on and then being shuttled all through Goleta like a damn bus dropping off everyone first! The only thing that come out good from this whole situation was that I only had to pay 8 dollars instead of 13 or 14 which is what I usually end up paying.
Well to bed it is for now

Back to SB...
I was supposed to leave early in the morning but then I stayed up till 5am so that didn't happen. My brother headed back to his Army base, Fort Drum in NY this morning and I didn't want to be asleep when he left so I stayed up to say goodbye. I actually shed a few tears because he is going back to base in NY and then in March he is deployed to Afganistan for his second tour in this damn stupid war. I hope to God that he is safe and returns home safely. It scares me deeply to know he will be in great danger again in just a few months. On the flip side he is done in October and will start applying to colleges again so he can finish his undergrad work. That makes me happy and that is what I look forward to because then I can be a little more at peace.
Right after I finish this part of the blog I need to go figure out what I am taking today and what I am leaving behind becuase I can't take everything with me since of course I have acumulated to much stuff yet again!
I bought a new ipod and I am in love! it a 32 gig itouch and I finally was able to get all my 3084 songs into it! with tons of room to spare! I have so much more to play with and I don't know how I have been living without it! Can't wait till the iphone finally comes to Verizon. For now my BB is doing the job just fine :)
I will have to continue this blog when I arrive in SB, till then, see ya...
