Hello from Scotland!!

Hi everyone! I'm in Edinburgh right now! We're spending three days
up here just eating and drinking. We still need to run up to the
castles but we've had plenty of great beer and food. The haggis is
great especially with a whiskey cream sauce. It's cold, muggy, and
drizzling but stop fun.

Right now I'm hoping for a great breakfast Of beans potatoes bacon
and sausage with a beer of course! I'll post more later. Btw. The
people here are VERY nice! It's so weird especially after Germany.

Bye guys!

A long overdue update!

Pacific with the Ecological Engineering Research Program as the

I'll post another update soon that is in depth. Promise!

A new job and a new home...

Ok so this is a belated post but will be followed up by another later post with an in depth look at my new job.  So here's a look at my new place.  I now live in Manteca.  It's a nice change of pace from Stockton; it's quieter, calmer and more pleasant.  So on to the new place.  I got lucky and have an inexpensive 2 bedroom apartment with a washer and drier to boot.

This is my living room.  The door goes to a closet.

The curtains head to my back porch.

Little hallway to my bed-, bath-, and office room.

My nice little office setup.

Which doubles as a workout room too.

Bedroom

More living room.

Simple dining room.

My kitchen looks a lot better now.  Yes I have 2 refrigerators one regular one beer.

I'll post the job update as soon as I finish.

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:

9/11 Ceremony and lone ball on pitcher's mound.

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!!
