A day among Giants, A day for Remembrance

Last weekend I had a lot of fun with Brianna and my aunt and cousins.  Brianna and I had some fun going to a drive in movie Friday night, a date for which she got REALLY dressed up.  Check it out:

Then Sunday we had a real treat!  My Aunt scored ticket's to the Giants Dodgers game on 9/11!  We had a lot of fun and it was a first for my little cousins, Giants fans in the making!  We met up with my aunt in Millbrae and caught the BART up to the park (another first for my cousins).  We got in towards the end of the remembrance ceremony that concluded with a great flyover by a veterans group from San Francisco!  That was an awesome first for me!  Here are the picks:

A Day at Pacific, and a Volleyball game

So today I ran down to Pacific for a job interview.  I interviewed for a Program Coordinator position with the Ecological Engineering Research Program (EERP).  It's not the greatest job in the world but it would be a good start for my career and a way to pay to live since I'm on my last dollars.  We'll see how things workout in the coming weeks and hope I have a job soon.  I also received emails recently stating that I've been refered to the hiring committee's for two other positions across the states.

While I was there I stuck around to watch the women's volleyball team play Duke!  I believe this was the opening game for their season and it started well but ended with a tear as we lost 3-1.  Here are some photo's from the game.

Moving on in life

So...  I recently got an interview with the Environmental Engineering Research Program at the University of the Pacific.  I would be working as the Program Coordinator helping to direct the program, obtain grant funds, and basic management of the research associates.  I decided to drop by the library to and get some 'light reading.'  I have never even looked at a grant so I thought it would be good to try and brush up on how grants are written.  The other books are my attempts to familiarize myself with Linux and coding in C++.

I have my interview tomorrow afternoon.  Wish me luck and hopefully I'll start working soon.  I thankfully won't be living in Stockton but working there is a bit of a bummer.

A little pic from the other weekend.  Brianna and I bought a bottle of wine however she doesn't yet have a bottle opener.  To remedy the situation I used my brilliant engineering knowledge to open it!  A screwdriver, screw, and hammer easily fixed the issue!

Hurray for wine!!

The time to move on is approaching!

Ok so I have 5 days left of my current photo challenge and boy has it been a challenge!  So let's start fielding some new challenge ideas!  In the beginning I think I had a few great ideas for what to do next.  Being me however, I failed to write them down (antiquated phrase there).  The only strong suggestion I've had so far is to go vegetarian for 30 days.  I have a lot of background as to what would qualify as not vegie and it hasn't really deterred me.  Leave me your suggestions for what to do next either in the comments section below or on Facebook!  I'll pick three or five to choose from and run a decision survey on Facebook to decide!

Let's have fun and give me ideas!  What have you ever wanted me to STOP DOING for a while?

Day 25 - Does this count?

Ok so these were technically taken yesterday but I never got around to posting them yesterday.  So here they are today!  Yes this is cheating but in this boring life I live it's the best I've got right now!

So Here's ice cream with my little cousins last night.

Day 24 - Back to School

I know and don't care that these posts are no longer in calendar day
order. Today I'm off with my aunt and cousins doing their back to
school shopping.
Here's a little girl trying on some Snazzy boots like the fashionista she is.

Day 23 - Santa Cruz Boardwalk

Another day in Santa Cruz!  We swung by the Boardwalk for a ride on the Ferris Wheel, the SkyLine, and grabbed some real Churros!  Then we swung by The Falafel Hut which wasn't great.  Later on we ran up to walking street and grabbed ice cream!

On the top of the world!

This place has really good ice cream!  I had taste of Basil ice cream and we got 

a scoop of Strawberry Peppercorn!  They were really tasty and I recommend you try it out!
