I have a job interview in about 2 weeks for a teaching position. I didn't think I would a get a call back so soon because most schools around this time are in the process of reviewing their budget. This week I am going to put together a portfolio and ask my professor for a letter of recommendation. I am not going to stress I am going to be positive I am just happy in the fact that this year my resume is much stronger. Current Mood:  calm |

So yesterday I finally bought the 15 inch macbook pro as a present for myself for getting into graduate school. I opted for the 2GB one even though I could have easily bought the 4GB one. I. It is going to be used mainly for paperwork and pictures. I love having a new toy to play with :) Current Mood:  giddy |

Grad School
So last Wednesday I found out I was accepted into the Graduate Early Childhood Education program at Brooklyn College. My interview was last Tuesday and I was nervous I brought my portfolio and class made books ( which no one bothered to look at ) and my interviewer was very cryptic I was told that she saw no reason why I shouldn't get into the program and that I should wait for admissions to send me stuff if accepted. But I didn't think I would find out a day after and completely by accident too. I was at work and I used the computer in the art room and I decided to look at status of my application form and the rest was history. I already made up my schedule I go back January 27 and I cannot wait to get into school mode!! Current Mood:  accomplished |

Apparently I am " inappropriate" . If if the definition of the word has changed to being a size 2, always put together and not disheveled than by all means I love being inappropriate. Current Mood:  amused |

I saw my ex today it wasn't by chance and it wasn't awkward. John was in a wrestling match and I and I went with friends to show support. I think he was happy we were there. He did really well he won the tag team title. All in all I am happy he is wrestling and living out his dream I can finally let bygones be bygones. |

So subbing went really well today I think so far this was my favorite experience. During my prep I was thinking about the future and eventually when I go back for another master's degree I think I am going to do science because I always had a passion for it. The plan originally was do literacy because it goes well with Early Ed but I have no interest. Plus with science I cant expand grade levels!!! On another random note I got my first big pay check ( even after taxes)! This definitely helps the holiday shopping that I will be doing soon. I am still waiting on the DOE one I have no idea how that is going to work all I know is the salary went up! |

I love sub central this automated system has been calling me everyday!! Today I finally got a call for a substitute job in the city at one of the best public schools!!. I will be a science cluster teacher to grades 3-5. I am happy to finally branch out to another borough and to finally have voice instructions for what I am going to be doing. Apparently tomorrow I am not doing all that much and I am kind off upset about that I really wanted to challenge myself and to teach a subject and grade level that's outside of my certification. Anyway I will be there 8-3pm I have a feeling I will be done earlier in the day but like always wont be able to leave until its time to clock out. Now I am really looking forward to this big pay check from the DOE and it helps so much that the substitute salary went up a little... It's going to make holiday shopping easier this year along with other things. Current Mood:  nerdy |

I went to Lord & Taylor for fall/winter clothes and I came away happy. I got a new winter jacket, dark gray cord pants and I am down to a 2 again so all my hard work has been paying off! But my favorite purchase was a sweater dress that I really didn't need but when I saw it I had to have it! I couldn't find it a picture of it on the lord & taylor site but macy's has it too... http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=321914&CategoryID=39532&LinkType=EverGreenOn a random note I think I am going to wear this dress to the iced earth show.. We are going backstage and pictures from meet and greet are going online on the band's website. I want to stand out and I can still head bang my head off in the dress and boots , which I will be doing!!!! Current Mood: happyCurrent Music: iced earth- burning times |

I applied for the master's program at Brooklyn College and now I have a headache. The application was $125 that's a little much but whatever. I have all my documentation ready so tomorrow after Early Bird I will drop it in. The only thing I am worried about is the fact that my professor did not give me the letter of recommendation in a sealed envelope she also has to sign one of the documents and I cannot get a hold of her until next week. Hopefully she will respond to an email I left her... Anyway I got 10 % off from barnes and noble and I have a teachers discount card which saves me 20% so tomorrow I am going to be picking up Dead Until Dark the first book based on true blood!! |

I went to kings plaza today and actually came away with a purchase. This is a first time that kings plaza didn't disappoint. I needed new sneakers and proper gym clothes. I have been working out in random concert shirts and I have a drawer full so I really don't mind and my sweat pants aren't really suited for exercise they are too thick in material. So I went to modell's thinking I wont find anything but they actually had decent stuff for a change. I got a pair of new balance sneakers , a sports bra, 2 pairs of work out pants. I spent $100 today on things I will actually use. On another random note I wrote how I saw changes in my hair but it's one thing when I notice something its quite another when someone else points it out and asks what I am doing. Tomorrow I am meeting up with my friend Zulie after my meeting at work. We are going to whole foods and I am going to introduce her to the wonderful world of organic/natural shampoo's. I am going to try to go the gym after we hang out even if its for 2 hours, but I have a feeling its not gonna end that way. |

Food!
I made this today all from scratch and no weight watchers products included.... Crepes with chicken in mushroom sauce. I used bay leaf in the sauce it was an experiment and not only did gave it a nice smell but it gave my sauce something extra, I think I may use it more often. Here are a few pictures of my meal And on a side this wasn't all I made I have left overs to last me for a while. I am happy because now I don't have to eat cereal for breakfast and have a crepe or as we Russians call them bliny. ( pics behind the cut ) Current Mood: accomplished |

I spent 5 hrs at the gym today I am not going to go into what type of workout I did because just thinking about it makes me feel even more tired. The one thing I will mention is when I was on the elliptical machine regretting that I had to put up with crappy r&b/pop/ techno music. I really missed my ipod I thought about what I could be listening to like the new iced earth album.. So I was observing my surroundings and I saw some pretty amusing things.. It really made me laugh when I saw some women bring over sized dunkin donuts coffee coolatas and donuts. They were in their gym clothes having snack on the machines. I saw them in the gym earlier we came in at the same time they stayed for 30 minutes and then left. The 5 hrs that I spent at the gym they didn't do anything after their snack accept treadmill for 10 minutes. I am thinking of going back tomorrow at some point during the day but I don't know if I want to do 5 hrs this time I would like to do more. |

I was in a yogurt mood today so I took a walk down to key food , which was depressing and a waste of my time. They didn't have a good selection it was mainly weight watchers crappy stuff yuck! and some other random brands.. I would have bought none weight watchers yogurts but they didn't have a good variety and out of the stuff that was there I couldn't have because I am allergic. Than I became in the mood to bake/cook something so I am checking the aisles for the ingredients on my recipes and all I keep seeing are these craptastic weight watchers stuff. I was actually in a mood to make hachipuri they are these breaded squares with cheese inside. I really became discouraged when in the cheese section I saw weight watchers brand cheese.. Thats not chese feta, Gouda, brie, are cheeses and thats solid crap. At this point I thought about taking trip to the city and going to whole foods where they don't sell weight watchers products but no it was hot..... So I am disappointed that I didn't get my yogurt but I figure the kefir ( Russian style yogurt like drink) that I have in my house is much better than some berry flavored mixture. And I am really sad that I didn't get to make hachipuri today ... This weekend is going to be hectic but Monday for sure.... Maybe I'll even go to whole foods I was watching emeril green today and that made me want to go there even more. |

I came back from Boston yesterday I would like to go back there for several reasons. Turns out they have a Smith and Wollensky steakhouse!! Even though they have one in the city the one in Boston in much nicer it looks like a castle. This restaurant is very pricey but very much worth it, best fillet mignon ever.I also wanted to go to the Sam Adams Brewery because apparently you can do a tour and have beer tastings :) I was very disappointed to learn there was no tours on Sunday. I didnt get to go the cheers bar even though it was on the way when we did the historic walking tour which was a waste of two hrs... Next time I go back I want to check out a red sox game for the hell of it. What annoyed me the most was being asked if I liked the yankees everywhere I went.... |

I just found my favorite pink bohemian/gypsy like skirt I had this thing for 2 yrs. At some point in 2007 I was taking art class ( for my major) and I was completely unaware that we were working with tempera paint that day. From what I knew about it it washable however, I ended getting black tempera on the side of my skirt. Water didn't help it made it worse even washing it didn't work. My mother convinced me to throw it out but I couldn't part with it , tempera paint and all My last hope is taking it to the dry cleaners and see what could be done. I never did that because I thought it was hopeless. |

I was looking through pictures that were 3 years old and they just ruined my night. Not only was my hair a lot longer, curly/wavy, it had bounce and or volume.... The length I cannot complain about since that was my own decision making but from here on out no more blow dryer and hair products unless its an important occasion. Now I am really happy that I haven't been coloring my hair |

I finally stopped being lazy and joined a gym. It wasn't for weight loss since I am at my ideal weight, but for toning up purposes. I start tomorrow and I cant wait!! |
