My Every Day...


7:00 a.m.      Waken up by my meowing ("feed me") cat.
7:15 a.m.      Go back to bed for fifteen minutes.
7:30 a.m.      Help my mother wake up and get ready for breakfast
8:00 a.m.      Finally look at my daily curriculum and semi-prepare the days teaching materials
9:00 a.m.      Head to the kitchen for breakfast
9:30 a.m.      Hit the shower and brush my teeth
10:00 a.m.    Get ready to go to work
10:15 a.m.    Driving down the street towards the 91 freeway
10:35 a.m.    sometimes stop by Starbucks for my Vanilla Latte.
                     or arrive at my destination and park my car in the normal spot by the fence
10:45 a.m.    Greet the secretaries in the office as I start my day at "A" high school
10:50 a.m.    I usually make loads of copies for my three wonderful classes
11:12 a.m.    the bell rings. Walk over to the favorite place on Earth, the classroom.
11:17 a.m.    4th period begins
2:45 p.m.     You can assume everything that happens in between. School ends
3:00 p.m.     Hit the 605-91 towards Torrance public library to tutor for an hour
5:00 p.m.     run errands (bank, shopping, prepare dinner...)
7:00 p.m.     Another tutoring
9:00 p.m.     Home sweet home. (sometimes out and about with friends)
                                        work. eat. play. work. eat. play. work. work. play. play. play.
Who knows when I sleep.

This is my usual Mondays through Thursdays.
Translating, studying, researching, stationary designing all falls after 9:00 p.m. or Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays.

But this schedule may change for the better. Crazier!
I was just offered a position to teach Japanese and English
at a pretty well known lingual institute in Beverly Hills.
Should I take it or not... It is a big question.
If I do take it, the classes will start at 6:00 p.m. M-Th. I may need to teach  two classes per  day (each 80 minutes). So I will be done teaching around 9 p.m.
The pay is better than private tutoring.
It is a great opportunity.
But I love my tutees. But it is a great opportunity as a language educator.
The facility also offers translation and interpretation services that they had asked me to help with.
All a great resume builder.
UGH... I don't know what to do. Someone help me. oh please.
So I may need to invest in a white board to display my pros and cons.
I really don't know what to do. It is a a drive. It is beverly hills.
The school is very close to my fav restaurants, Mastro's and Buchon (oh boy, I miss Vegas)!
I will meet new people. I will be teaching adults. Will that next student end up my husband?
Who knows what will happen? Will I be okay juggling the schedule? My schedule is crazy enough.
It will get crazier. Will I be able to handle it?
I still need to finish my Master's eventually. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. lol
It's a great way to waste time. Contemplating back and forth on "what ifs."

But I think I know what I should do. It is unfortunate to have to decline a few great positions but it will be an opportunity for other people. I can still be apart of their lives.
Life throws lemons at you, like I said before, I make myself a nice cold...
Arnold Palmer!

We shall see what happens. 
New work, new people, new relationships. Life only gets better!

LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE.
