Some exciting news on my educational dreams I am currently reaching for. Instead of graduating late Jan 2010, I can graduate this year mid Nov! Holy cow, I am sooo excited.

Pros:
Graduating 2 1/2 mos ahead of schedule
Not have to reapply for financial aid (it ends in Nov.)
Saving roughly $1200.00 - $1500.00
Did I mention GRADUATING EARLY!?!?!

Cons:
Taking two community college classes condensed into 5 weeks over summer
While still taking my regular classes (yes, that will be 12 units total crammed in my already busy busy summer)
I will not have my nights at all, I will not have my sanity.

As you can see the Pros out way the Cons, at least I think so. I am just waiting to hear back from my counselor tomorrow, and hopefully he will agree with me that this is a good way to finish early.

YAYAYAYAY!!!

Salinas Art Walk

is held the first friday of every month. not to be negative about the art walk, but honestly there is not much to write about other than my AWESOME SIL Linz. apparently artists and bands are suppose to come out and present their art to the public... well linz seem to be only artist out and about that evening. linz did her thing and rocked at it. i just wish that salinas would let the general public know what is going so everyone can join in on the fun. Here is just some of her art ... im telling ya the girl has talent!

score:
salinas - 0
linz - 1



Big Sur Mud Run 2009

Well this post is a little late, I lag.

D and I did the Big Sur Mud Run this year, and yes we had a blast! To be honest I stopped my 'training' for the five mile event about three weeks prior to the run, because of sheer desire to relax after work and not run. I did struggle to keep up with D at times, but otherwise he was a great partner to run with. He is so great at keeping the mood uplifting when running through the mud. :) I painted shirts for us to wear, I thought they came out okay. For some of you that don't know... I lack the creative touch that my sis-in-law has, and for some crazy reason I always compare my ish to her ish. whateva. The pit you see in the pics below is last and big obstacle we had to tackle. Thankfully showers were available, but still could not wait to get home and get all that mud off. Here are some pics of our MUDDY day.
