Once in a lifetime

I went to see Uncreation on Saturday, which was an awesome experience because they seriously rocked Amityville. They were even better than the last time I saw them and I really like their new material. Which is a big thing because I'm not even a metal fan. Chris' solos are insane.

While hanging out after the show I found out that a friend of mine had extra tickets to the St. John's vs. Georgetown game, which would be the first game ever played at the new Citifield. Though it was rainy and cold Sunday afternoon, I headed over because I am a huge Mets fan. It was well worth it. There are few words to describe the stadium. It is gorgeous. The Jackie Robinson rotunda nearly brought tears to my eyes. I was glad to see that the crickety old Home Run Apple we all loved, made it's way to the new stadium in one piece. While it was incredibly sad to see the pile of rubble where Shea Stadium once stood, seeing that beautiful piece of architecture in it's place makes the sadness dissipate just a tad. I'll always have the memories of the incredible highs and heart-breaking lows that I experienced in Shea Stadium and can only hope for many more to come at Citi Field.

Peek at my Life

I've been stressed out a bit lately because I've realized that the money I am currently making hardly covers my expenses. I have a trip coming up in May and I need clothes, my plane tix, spending money...lions, and tigers, and bears oh my! I've been trying to get a raise for some time now. We are allowed to ask for one every year. How long have I been waiting? I should be putting in for this year's raise now. I actually contemplated leaving my job. But I'm lazy and it's comfortable. Then again, I work with an inept, sneaky bitch...who probably makes more than me and does...hmmm...what does she do?

I got good news today though. My side job...a well that was drying up as of late...has picked up once again. It may not be much but that extra income is really going to help me out in the long run. And it's something that I find interesting. Plus there is a chance that I may see my name on an article in an accredited journal some time in the near future, which is something that I'm looking forward to.

I recently started actually using the treadmill we have in the house. It's helped me calm down a bit because I can walk off a lot of the anger I'm so quick to harbor. Which translates to me not being such a bitch to the students that walk into our offices and not letting things get to me so much. I'm sure the people in my life can appreciate that one.
