Day 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.

Something I hate about myself is my addiction to TV. I am seriously super addicted. Even if I'm not watching it, I have to have it on. I hate silence so I always have TV on in the background.

Currently, it is tuned into "How I Met Your Mother" which is my boyfriend and my new obsession. Glee is tonight at 8pm. I just love TV.

It's getting to be a problem when I purchase all these seasons-on-DVD (and spending a lot of money I don't have...) And I can watch the same show/episode over and over and still enjoy it... I guess it really is the little things in life!

Who is the Animal in You?

Take the test!




Otters are petite, engaging creatures overflowing with positive energy. Intelligent and bright, they are also popular, eminently lovable and display the highly developed social skills that typify the small carnivores. Otters mix easily with a wide range of animal personalities.

Lazy? Let's just say easily distracted. Life has so many diversions for the otter that it's impossible to predict how it will fill its day. But when an otter gets focused on a problem, its keen intelligence rises to the challenge and it will not give up until the nut is cracked.

Otters feel entitled to the good things in life and a general sense of well being gives them the confidence to not have to save for the future. A lover who wants to impress an otter should know that otters love to eat out and have a predictable penchant for sushi.

Although intelligent and witty, otters have a tendency to suffer from self-doubt and fear of failure can prevent them from living up to their true potential. Still, they are a great problem solvers, with the ability to spend endless hours on abstract or practical challenges. As workers, they are dedicated and capable and always eager for a chance to prove themselves.

Their determination makes otters valuable employees, and although they often feel that their contributions are undervalued they would rather accept lower pay than risk confrontations in their workplace.

Although they are fine motivators otters avoid taking leadership roles, performing better in group situations with their social skills coming in handy when counseling coworkers through their problems. Their dexterous hands are useful in a wide range of careers, and they're ideally suited for work in engineering, advertising, and design.

I love this time of year.

Other than the huge school work load, I love fall. And I really love winter.

In fall, the changing leaves are beautiful. The cold crisp air is so refreshing. The Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks are delightful. Fall has Halloween, my anniversary and Thanksgiving.

But winter is even better. I get to look at photos of snow (because photos are so much better than actually being in it). I get to lay by the fire. We have WINTER BREAK!!(meaning e-portfolio updating & pleasure reading.) Christmas, New Years, my birthday, and Valentine's Day.

The next few months ahead are pretty exciting.

Currently I am sitting in the CCPR room in the JOUR building, uploading video for JOUR 205's "Know A California Farmer" project & drinking a DELICIOUS Gingerbread Latte (iced, because it's still like 70 degrees out in NOVEMBER!)

With all that is going on I need to remember to take a time out and enjoy the things I love about this time of year.

Here are 50 words to NOT include on your resume.

Good luck to everyone else who is looking for a job! :)

I'll eat an occasional Taco Bell bean burrito with no cheese or onions, but other than that, I try to stay away from fast food.

Ew, ew, ew.

Facebook vs. Employers

"The National Labor Relations Board accused a company of illegally firing an employee after she criticized her supervisor on Facebook."

Read Article Here

Apparently, criticism of bosses and employers is now being argued as a "protected activity."

Do you agree? Should you be free to bash your employers and your company on social networking? Let me know!

Cynical.

I'm not alone...

Famous Cynics!

Though, I must admit, I've either been getting less cynical or I've learned to hide it better...
