San Francisco Fun Thing To Do

So it's been a while since i've done this but I went somewhere last weekend that I just have to blog about! Alright so from now on I'll call these posts reasons to visit me in San Francisco.

Reason #1

HOUSE OF AIR

sounds pretty awesome well it is! Here in the beautiful city of San Francisco an old airplane hanger has been converted to an amazing house of air. The building is filled with trampolines there are even trampolines on the wall! There is also a room called the colosseum that you can play trampoline dodgeball! so fun! If you go here be prepared to get the best workout ever and to leave drenched with sweat!

The Crush

So I found out last week from a parent at my work that her son has a huge crush on me. How cute is that little 4 year olds can be so freakin hilarious sometimes. The parent of this funny little guy came up to me one morning and asked if I had worn my hair down the day before, being so busy with life I couldn't really recall and I was a little puzzled at the question in the first place, but then she explained that her son could not stop talking about Teacher Melina's beautiful hair. She said he talks about me all the time and how much he loves me she said he has the hugest crush on you. I started cracking up!!! Poor thing was then informed immediately by his mother that I was engaged to be married the next day at school he asked right away if I was getting married and wanted to see my ring too I'm guessing he needed proof. Well I can't help but admit I have a huge crush on all my little preschoolers too! I love spending the day with them they are literally the joys of my day their little rambunctious personalities, their sweet little hugs, and their unending senses of humor make every day so awesome.

After hearing this about my student's crush, I started to look back on my childhood trying to remember if I had any teacher crushes, I did recall one I had a big crush on a sunday school teacher named Dale he was so nice to me I just remember him as my favorite person ever! Did you have any teacher crushes when you were young?

HAHA oh the calories

I was at starbucks this morning! In front of me a woman who I'm assuming is a regular ordered her nonfat drink and then got a pastry the checker asked her why she no longer got the zucchini muffin she usually gets and the woman said I didn't realize it had so many calories! I wanted to laugh out loud, now that starbucks has the calorie count on their food you get an idea exactly what you are putting in your mouth, and are not deceived by the sound of a something being low in calories I'm sure that woman thought she was eating the healthiest thing on the menu. It is important to remember that if you are looking at just the calories of an item you are really missing the more important thing what is the nutrients if you have something low in calories but has zero vitamins nutrients or fiber well you really aren't doing yourself a favor check the calories but when making the decision ask your self is this nutritious will this give me some of the vitamins my body needs and have that make your decision. Because your metabolism does need fuel to work!

Thing's have gotten out of control

If you have not heard from me in a while, it's because I have too much on my plate right now! I am going to try to reorganize things and get organized tomorrow so maybe by friday I will catch up on blogging! Only because I love sharing what's going on with me, with all of you who I love and miss! As of right now these are the things I am juggling that are starting to wear on me as we speak.

1. Praise the Lord I found a man that wants to marry me haha so I've been attempting to plan a wedding. (trying to buy into the idea that this is fun don't know that i'm convinced)

2. Woohoo I was able to get into all the final prerequisite classes I needed! (ill fill you in, so in order to be accepted into my grad program I agreed to finish the prerequisite requirements in the first year in order to continue taking my grad school classes, all I had left was 1 psychology class and 1 studio art class left thought I could spread it out unfortunately due to overcrowded community colleges I was waitlisted for both fall and spring finally got accepted the day the classes started!!!! talk about stress! at least I'm in)

3. In addition to the two community college classes I am taking I am also registered for 5 graduate school classes which is 12 units (this may not seem like alot for undergrad but for grad school this is like instant suicide)

4. Attempting to apply for some kind of internship practicum for next year (this should be number one on the list I need to find a really great place to fullfill 750 hours of practicum for next year)

5. Looking for and volunteering at some place to complete the 30hours of field work necessary to sign up for practicum.

Only 5 things on the list but my eye is twitching as we speak. Pray that I survive this semester!!! and spring and summer. For all of you who read this and think that I am ridiculous and crazy I will agree with you! currently considering dropping one of my grad school courses to lighten my load some. Also my wonderful amazing fiance has been a huge help to me with all of the wedding planning thank you Tim!

Christmas Lights!!

Don't you just love Christmas lights. I really believe there is no such thing as too many Christmas lights.

Classic Movie Cafe

Well it's been a while since I've made any classic movie recommendation I'm not sure if any of you even enjoy classic movies, but I absolutely love them and there are so many christmas favorites that I am going to recommend many movies over the next few weeks so here are a few of my favorites!
The Shop Around the Corner

In Ernst Lubitsch's charming, Budapest-set romance -- later remade as the Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks vehicle You've Got Mail -- Klara (Margaret Sullavan) and Alfred (James Stewart) fall in love, even though they've only met before as pen pals and don't even know each other's names. Over Alfred's objections, Klara is hired in the shop where he works. But as they continue their loving correspondence, they embark on a combative working relationship. This film is one of my many christmas favorites!!

White Christmas

For me nothing says christmas like hearing Bing Crosby sing White Christmas!!! Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye play war buddies turned entertainers who fall for a pair of sisters (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen). The boys follow the girls to a resort, which is owned by their former commanding officer, and he's in danger of losing the place. What better reason to stage a show than to keep the resort out of hock?
