school budget cuts

I was skyping a couple of college friends in Austin last night. It was the first time we had used it, and it was pretty cool. I miss them so much and I was exctied to see them after so long even if it was through a web camera. 
We were catching up on what we had been up to, talking about school, work and things we had done. One of my friends, Denise, an education major, planning on graduating in December was telling me that she was a little worried about her future due to the…

Is your major the most overrated choice in college??



I was reading a blog on USA Today college http://www.usatodayeducate.com/staging/index.php/blog/most-overrated-college-choice-your-major yesterday that was pretty interesting concerning majors in college and I mostly agree with what the author has to say.

A major shouldn't be the most important choice in college because that doesn't guarantee that you will work in the…

I just want to travel

 

 

Yesterday evening I talked to my old roommate, Vanessa. We haven't seen each other since graduation and are planning on reuniting soon along with our other friend, Sandra. When we lived together we were like the 3 musketeers. Sandra is the most outgoing girl I have met. She can go up to any stranger and be friends with them 5 minutes later.....I think that's how we met. :). Vanessa is a bit shy and serious but she definitely has a funny side. She's more to herself yet she's…

Born this way

I’m sure you guys know who Lady Gaga is. I mean unless you’ve been hiding under a rock but since you’re reading this, it means you have internet access and that you are familiar with pop culture.

 

She just realized her new single a few days ago and naturally I had to listen to it. I had been looking forward to it for a long time. It’s called “Born this Way” which is also the title of her next album.

 

The song was amazing! It’s a good catchy beat and fun to…

Happy Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!! 

I hope you guys are having a wonderful Valentine’s day!! I know, I’m a little cheesy but I LOVE love! I do! It’s such a wonderful feeling and well I’m not just talking about the kind of love you feel for a partner, which is also amazing but about all the love we have to give in our relationships with our friends, family, dogs, (jeje), etc. 

I am happy to experience love and be able to tell my closest friends and relatives that I love them. I am happy to…

With a little help from my friends...

 

Last night while I was heading home after a meeting and I got lost. I was downtown and couldn't find the freeway. See the thing is that I have a bad sense of direction. I have to go to a place several times before I know exactly how to get there. I've been downtown a few times but not enough to know my way around. Usually I have friends that help me and thank goodness I do. I called one of my friends that guided me back to the right way. 

 

Most of my friends and…

Motorcycle Diaries

 

Yesterday I watched The Motorcycle Diaries or Diarios de Motocicleta with a friend. I had already watched it before a few years ago and I really liked it. My friend had never seen it and I thought he would like it we watched it. 

I remember when I watched it the first time. I heard about it from a friend. He had been moved by the film and well I was interested. The movie is based on the memoirs of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Che and his friend are young adventure seeking…

Belly Dancing

 

On Friday night my friends and I decided to go to a party that's held on the first Friday of every month. They have different bands and DJs playing. They sell arts and crafts from the community including jewelry, T-shirts, posters, etc. They have local publications available for free and there was even a booth that sold treats like chocolate and candy from different parts of the world like India and Japan. 

 

It is usually a lot of fun to go to these parties. It's a…

It's so cold!

 

Just in case you didn't think it was winter, mother nature came around to demostrate the power of freezing temperatures. 

My friend from Chicago, braced for the winter storm of the year calling it snowpocalypse! 

I live in Texas, which is pretty far from Illinois, but I still had to prepare for this huge storm that has halted city life. 

In El Paso, it is Day 3 of schools being closed down. Rolling blackouts are part of my life now. Since Wednesday, 7 of the 8…

Let's skype?!

Yesterday I used skype for the first time ever! 

Yes, I know, I know, I'm a late bloomer. I know skype has been around for a while. My friend actually used to use skype years ago on my computer to talk to her boyfriend in Germany. But I never got around to learning how to use it. 

I got my own skype a few months ago. I have friends that live in all different parts of the country and world. I thought it'd be a nice way to connect. I never actually figured it out though. I'm not…
