Half-heartedly worked on a very involved syllabus yesterday and this morning--REALLY did not want to. This is like the sixth syllabus I have created from scratch in the past nine months and I am SO over it. Hence returning to school and getting a second degree in something else because keeping the rent paid has become such a stressful, exhausting endeavor.

Guess this belongs in the gripe thread...

In other news: I watched a Pink Floyd bio last night on VH1, and had NO IDEA that "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "The Wall" were written about a mentally disturbed Syd Barrett. How did I get past 30 and not know about such things? Maybe that's the kind of thing that only high school boys care about, but it was a big deal for me.

I just saw an almost grown bald eagle wheeling about the sky from the window of the room where I am now sitting. Okay, Bigdog saw it and came in to make sure I saw it too.

Juju...That's AWSOME! Makes you appreciate what life's all about, doesn't it?

Kstme, ditto that!

Juju, you must live in a really cool place to be able to look out your window and see something as wonderful as that!

I can't see bald eagles from my window, but we do get 4ft tall great white herons strutting around the yard looking for little lizards to eat.
When they fly off their wing spans are so huge and beautiful, and they honk/screech as they fly off.
(I love seeing the wildlife)

Juju and webkitty - so lucky to have eagles/herons outside your window.... :)

Last week I saw a mama opposum with babies in my back yard which is cool since I live in the city. Other than that there are a couple of stray cats that pass though our yard from time to time.

Hi Butter -- Thanks again for the member folder that you made for me :D

i saw a felon running through the wash just past my apt complex and the police chasing him in the police car with sirens blaring and a helecopter above with someone yelling out over a loud speaker, "get on the ground, put your hands in the air" over and over and over again. but then again, im in vegas, what do you expect??????????

Wow Angelnikki! It reminds me of the apt. we used to live in, in downtown Long Beach. Pretty scary stuff I bet. These people have real guns!

Wow, eagles and herons, oh my!! Actually we do get some herons around here too but not walking the lawns.. there we get HUGE crows and oddly... I've encountered two crayfish who turned up in my little pond. We used to get ducks.

We have lots of hummingbirds and a huge flock of totally loopy/loony finches!!

When I lived in the canyon we'd see hawks and owls and coyotes and rattlesnakes, tarantulas, pheasants, adorable quails with topknots and peacocks! Didn't see a mountain lion in my years there but they were definitely around.

Angel.. when I lived in Santa Ana (CA) what we saw were gang bangers, possums, rats, helicopters searching, LOUD music (so loud you could almost see it), chickens, roosters, pitbulls, mice, a sheep being slaughtered, oh funfunfun..

I finally got tired of the gunshots, the mess, the threats, the attitudes and fled.

Weiner.. I used to work in Long Beach!! They did have Bake n'Broil.. yummm.

Seamonkey,

Here's where I have lived in order:
Philadelphia, PA
Pasadena, CA
Temple City
Laguna Beach
Claremont
Laguna Beach
Long Beach
Garden Grove
Long Beach
Santa Clarita

I worked downtown Long Beach for 9 years, and currently work in downtown L.A. When I lived and worked in downtown Long Beach in the late '80's I could walk back and forth to work, so that was pretty cool. The neighborhood was going downhill fast, and we moved late 1990. Where in Long Beach did you work?

i was born in Orange County, CA.. I have lived in long beach, anaheim, garden grove, and others that i cant remember. When i tell people i was born in orange co., they say what city?? I was born in the city of orange in orange co. calif :)
we moved from calif when i was about 8 yrs old. most of my life i have lived in arizona. Has anyone here ever heard of Parker, AZ.??
Thats where I lived most of my high school life. I then moved to Bullhead City, AZ and was there for a few years until I moved to Laughlin, NV. I worked in Laughlin for about 4 yrs and lived there as well(it is right across the bridge from Bullhead City). I then moved to Alaska for 1 month with my sister but didnt feel right. I guess I was use to living in the heat my whole life :)
I moved to Las Vegas, NV and that is where i reside now. I have been here for about 4 yrs.
well, enough about me.....lol

After many tears and much drama, I finally got my online class up and going; today is the first day and I'm so nervous! On woman already showed up, and I responded to her bio.

It's taken a long time to get to this point, as the hiring process started in February. The additional income will be SUCH a help. Anyway, just felt like sharing.

Oregonfire, way to go!!!

Let's talk Long Beach for a minute. I have been in Long Beach to visit a couple times over the years, had a girlfriend who managed major hotels there. The last few times I have been there, downtown Long Beach looked pretty darn posh. Or maybe I have not been in downtown, LOL. Well, okay, I was probably not in downtown. I was staying at the Westin and going to the areas you can walk to from there. Or perhaps they have rehabbed the area and it is only formerly seedy?

Thanks all! Sorry I have no Long Beach stories. I have a Los Angeles and a San Fransisco story, but that's it!

I also rocked the house in my art history exam this morning! Second highest grade out of 200+ students going into the final. I only brag because I ROCK. No seriously, I'm just a very, very determined person (except when it comes to yummy food) who studies and does her homework.

BTW, Dr. Phil was on Oprah the other day lecturing lots of pleasingly round ladies on giving in to the seductive powers of food. Oprah, who is usually so supportive of Dr. Phil, was glaring at him the whole time.

Good job with the art history- congratulations- you had a lot of competition!

That class that I was worried about with the screwy grading scale- I got my grade back and got an A. I don't know how I managed with the points taken off on my paper, but I did. I have to take these 3 grad classes to finish my education degree and need a B average- I got As in two of them now.

What a good semester this has been, especially since I was so worn out. I got my geography degree in May and had so little motivation to finish the rest of this after 6 years of college, but still managed to get Deans list.
