California girls, we're undeniable ;)

So what's new with me? Well a whole damn lot, that's for sure!

This previous Monday, I got a tutoring gig for a maternity class. Here's the thing: I have never taken a maternity class, Ha! My friend hooked me up so that I can unofficially take this class while simultaneously tutor it. It's actually quite grand! I am enjoying every minute of it...as I want to be a midwife when I "grow up!" Its Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8am-3pm for 2 weeks, so its already half way over! Sort of depressing...

Speaking of tutoring, I got my hours worked out with my professor again for the fall. I wont be tutoring as much Anatomy as I would like, but I've got some Physio hours, some more maternity hours, and I picked up a few hours reviewing Anatomy and Physiology with the Nursing students. Again...with that friend who hooks me up. ;)

At work, I am working between 35-40 hours a week. Sort of crazy exhausting, but its money and textbooks are expensive. Plus, Gio's is sort of fun. I enjoy messing around with all the co workers so it isn't too terrible. The tips have been great as there are lots of large order for companies and camps. No complaints there. Minus the fact my car has been giving me mild panic attacks because the "CHECK ENGINE" light comes on randomly. Yeah, RANDOMLY!

In the most important news, I started my belly dancing class today! It is FABULOUS! I will definitely be taking more classes with Alexandra. She is wonderful and I really dig her. We're working on American Tribal Style right now and we will be having a performance in December! Her advanced classes are coming up at UCSB and I hope to take those later in the fall. I've got a Serpentine video coming done by Rachel Brice that I hope to get me more prepared for the advanced ATS class. SO STOKED!

I really wish I could make it back to Tahoe before summer is over. I can't believe I start school so soon from now. It's already the 5th of August?! I don't believe it. Crap. That means I have bills to pay...

Busy, busy, busy! My life isn't filled with so much knitting anymore...it makes me sad. But belly dancing is opening me up again! I was on such a high after class tonight...all the zills and the moves and the music! I just feel like this fire was reignited within me! Even after just one class, I can feel totally different about myself. I feel increases in my confidence, my energy, my happiness...no wonder I have been so depressed these two years! I am finally taking the initiative and doing something for myself. Any of ya'll who can't keep up, well you will be left to eat my dust. :)

Ciao!
