Back to School

I found a job!  Yay!  Second grade.  The perfect grade.

BUT,

What I wanted to write about was dreams I've been having.  I keep having two re-occurring dreams and someone said if I write them down they'll go away. 

The first one is one where I'm the age I am right now, but for some reason I have to go back to high school.  So I'm there and I have to get to class (I've had about six or seven dreams) and I'm ALWAYS running late and on my way to class, I realize I didn't do my homework.  I get to class and it turns out I'm not late, I'm early and I start doing my homework.  It's usually math but I've had dreams where it's also English and History.  It's so weird.  The teacher never gets there and I wake up before class actually starts.  It's so frustrating.

The other dream is one where I'm chewing gum and the gum begins getting very sticky. It sticks to my teeth and I try to spit it out but it's stuck to my teeth so I pull the gum out and it's just gets streched out and I pull it out some more but it's as if I'm unwinding a thread spool.  That dream is even more annoying than the first.

There was a teacher at one of the workshops that said having a dream like that meant there was something I needed to get out of my system.  Something I needed to say to someone.  The only thing I can think of is some unfinished business I have with a frienemy.  She was actually a really good friend but then not so much. That's another story though.  Maybe I'll write it later.

Anyway, the end.

I have to share

So I was getting fat so I joined a gym.  I would like to have a gym buddy that will do the kickboxing and zumba class with me but all my buddies are in Texas so... that's that.

Well, I joined the gym and got the schedule of classes checked my weight, got some protein shakes and the whole nine yards and last week I did the Zumba fitness workout for the first time (probably the last too).  So there I was minding my own business working on my fitness just like Fergie and I thought I was doing an excellent job too (for it to have been my first time anyway) but someone always has to ruin my motivation.

.. back to the story... yeah, so there I was working out like a total badass and out of the corner of my eye I notice this man looking at me.  At first I thought he was just another regular perv checking me out but then I noticed that every time I caught him looking at me he'd laugh.  We,ll eventually (halfway through my workout) I realized that the scumbag was laughing AT me.  I know I was lost and all but it was the first time I tried out the workout AND it's not like he was doing a great job himself.  Homeboy had no rhythm and he was like, fifty.  What is he doing working out with a bunch of girls anyway?

So yeah, I was starting to get really angry and annoyed at this man and so I started hinding behind some senior citizen ladies that were also doing the Zumba workout (apparently it's all the rage).  It didn't work, he was still judging my moves.  He was seriously starting to grind my gears and the hood in me was about to come out but fortunately for him, the class ended and I gathered my stuff to get the eff out of there. 

Well, as I was about to leave the jerk comes up to me and pats my arm and says, "you did great".   That is probably the most annoying thing anyone has done to me this year.  Who does he think he is?  He should know that I'm too pretty to be talking to people like him and I certainly don't need pity compliments from Rhythmless Zumba Dancer. 

Bastard.

I need to do something with my life.

CPT

I know, I know.  Homework was due on Friday but I'm running CPT.

List of Five things I'm gonna miss about California

1.  My apartment.  It really is overrated to stay at your parents' house until the age of 30.  I don't know why so many people do it.  Wait, I do know.

2. That no one is from here.  It must have to do with the area where I live but 8 out of ten people that I meet are from another part of the country.  And they're here temporarily.  Just like me.  Can you say instant BFFs?

3.  There's a bunch of cool birds flying around that I haven't seen since I was lived in Mexico.

4.  The palm trees on the side of the highway.  They're so tall and nice.

5.  The  chance that I may run into Gwen Stefani at any given moment.

List of five things I'm NOT going to miss about California

1.  Gas prices.  I know it's expensive everywhere but, every time I pump gas I know in the back of my mind that it is fifty cents cheaper in Texas.  And I feel like I'm getting ripped off.

2.  Customer service.  It doesn't matter where I go, the CSR thinks his/her job is the most important thing in the world and they're doing me a favor by performing it.  A la Department of Motor Vehicles workers  in Texas.

3.  My job.  I'm waaaaay too good for it.

4.  How I can't find a good hairdresser.  I sure do miss Luis Fernando and his passive aggressive comments about my damaged hair.

5.  That houses don't have yards.  Houses here have rocks instead of grass in the front yard.  That's so weird to me.
