Final entry

This is my final entry for 20 journal entries. I have to admit that this was my least favorite English assignment. Why? well if you couldn't tell I did this at the very last minute. I was so focused on other stuff that I totally forgot about the journal entries. I did get the passion to start blogging again . Blogging again well be like my therapy and just to express my feelings and emotions.

Teacher

If you ask anyone they would be shocked that I want to be a teacher. Why ? Well I am not the kind of smiling happy person and I talk to kids like a equal sometimes. But when I am around kids I just light up. When I was in high school I took a child development class just so I didn;t have to take spanish class. In child development I grew to like being around kids and I felt good teaching them different lessons. I decided to go back to school last year and the only degree that made sense to me was early childhood education. Seeing a child as he learns new things about the world is the best feeling in the world.

2013

As the year comes to the end I have started to think about 2013. I am considering taking more classes during the summer because this it is taking me forever to finish school. I am also gonna try and get into better shape and push myself more next year. Another thing I have been thinking about is getting a condo. I am tired of living in a apartment.  2013 will be a good year for me, I just need to stay focus and believe I could do it.

Family

As I get older I realized I am not the family kind of person. I mean I love my family , but we weren't close when I was growing up. We never really celebrated holidays or birthdays ,we hardly call each other on those days. I know it can start to change if I make a effort , but I really don't think it would make a difference. I made a promise to myself that if I have kids that I would do the total opposite of my childhood. I will have real relationships with my children.

London

This year my big vacation was a trip to London to visit my friends. I literally planned this trip in a month. I had to get some money from my 401K and I needed to get my passport and quick. I picked the last two weeks in August and I didn't even know that I was going to go when the olympics were there. I got everything I needed and I was off. I have to say it was the most amazing vacation I have ever had. The culture , food, sites. The weather was perfect, despite what people say it was not that cloudy to me. Also the public transportation was on point. Leaving was very hard for me, but I plan to go back next year.

New York

I love New York , it has to be one of the best citys in the world. The first time I went was a few years ago. I was going to see Madonna and the closet tour stop was New York so me and some friends went up. I just remember being in awe, I mean it was the place I have seen in movies and TV and I was there. I jsut remember seeing all the sites and I was loving every moment in the city. After that I started dating someone up there and I traveled back and forth for awhile. I need to make another trip there soon.

San Francisco

I have been to San Francisco  about 4 times. I believe San Fran. has been one of my favorite trips to ever go. San Francisco was also the first place I flew too. The area is so nice and there is something to do every day. I remember going to Fishermans wharf and taking a boat to Alcatraz. That was a good tour seeing the old cells. the next year I took a bus tour around the city and saw where they shot a lot of movies like The Rock. Another attraction was Skywalker Ranch, where they keep all the Star Wars memoerablia.

Christmas

I am not a huge fan of Christmas. I don't totally hate the holiday, it is just I never had good memories of it. Growing up I never had a real Christmas. We were sometimes hard up for money, but then there were times we could have a real holiday.  My mom came up with many reasons why I couldn"t get presents , like my birthday was too close to the holiday or maybe next year. We hardly had any decorations. Still to this day i have never decorated any place for Christmas.

seattle

I just got back from my trip to Seattle. It was a nice visit with Bill and his boyfriend. I loved my hotel, it was right in downtown and very spaceious. I will admit I am a fan of big cities. I never  really was a beach person. Seattle this time around was kind of bittersweet. I realized that if I ever do move , it wouldn't be to Seattle. I love the area, but the weather is hard to handle. Also I feel like there isn't much to do but go into different neighborhoods.
