My money's no good, but I'm to no good
Wow, I guess Gina really has restarted the whole Webtape blog revolution. I haven't blogged in over a month and decided that today would be perfect for it. My recent rise in journal writing might actually be to blame, more so than Gina, so here it goes.
I worked so much last week, so much more than I have in the entire year. Three days waitressing at Pizza Nova and 4 days substitute teaching, all at different schools. 45 hours in total, lots of $$$ as well. I finally got a chance to work at the Preuss School, which is the charter school of charter schools in the area and an amazing place to work. Had a great time there. Also worked at a school off of Lake Murray Blvd. (yay! super close), a school in Skyline, where a kid told me I looked like Brooke Hogan, and at King Chavez Prep in Stockton where some girl told me I had a big ass. Yes, I still like kids after her comment -- if nothing else, they give me some amazing stories to tell later.
I've also been keeping up with the running - the half marathon is this weekend. I've been getting a little bit bored with my runs, so I enlisted a friend to start running with me. She's been bringing along her 10 month old golden retriever who is an absolute doll and a total ball of energy. Bringing him to the lake has been good for the most part, but he has a strange attraction to mallard ducks that sometimes causes him to dart out in front of me or people on bikes with very little notice. But it's freaking cute.
This weekend was nice and relaxing, at least after work on Saturday. Got 12 hours of rest on Saturday night and had an amazing run at Mission Bay - 8.5 miles - on Sunday. I finally bought a cute outfit for my race so I look polished and put together, not wearing old Crusaders soccer shorts from 4th grade.
Monday was nice too, very relaxing as well. A good friend of mine from a summer job I've had for the past couple of years decided to come to SD to visit during his spring break -- his brother lives here, so it's not totally random -- but I didn't know until Sunday night. Fortunately, I didn't haven't anything going on, so I picked him up from the airport, hung out around San Diego, and took about 45 minutes to find this house in a totally obscure part of South Park. It was great catching up and getting to talk with someone I haven't seen in a while and also made me really excited for summer. I just feel like I haven't had a real escape in a while, and it would be so nice to get away from the monotony of family, friends, and stress here. Not that I hate things here, but his visit really got me anxious for those long, warm summer months and LA as the oasis.
Oh, and we saw a lot of dogs, lots and lots of dogs. We have a general disagreement about smashed face canines. I can't stand them, but apparently he finds them charming. But we agree that English bulldogs are quite alright.
Subbed today, subbing tomorrow, race and LA on Friday/Saturday. Gahgahgahgah I can't wait.
P.S. Yay for finally meeting the full webtape contingent on Friday night and hanging out. Can't believe I haven't had the opportunity until now. Can't wait to encounter more belligerent black girls and possibly dead men in Denny's parking lots off of Jack Murphy Road in the near future.
