The gallery above is from a exhibition on immigration in southern California that totally impressed me.

So it has been a while. I have been SUPER busy. It is weird being an adult for the first time in my life. I am finally making money and working, paying bills. People rely on me and that is just crazy. Adjusting to life in San Diego has been a journey to say the least. Moving from college slacker to full time employee was a lot different than I presupposed when hypothesizing, but the life has undoubtedly been agreeing with me.

For six months now I have been living anxiously trying to make my career, which is about all that I live for these days, be something that it is not. I have TRYING way to hard to DO and not trying hard enough to align myself with the energetic flow that naturally courses through everyday occurrences.

My day looks like this. Monday through Friday, I wake up around 4 am or 4:30 am. I like to do my prep in the morning, and I have a feeling that may never change. I work, and most times lose myself in it until about 6:30, in which I rush to get out of the door by 7am. Usually I leave a little after that, unless I am carpooling with my friend Kay. (30 minute drive) I prep, or got to staff meetings, until 8:30 and then start classes. BAM BAM BAM, three classes of 9th grade Multimedia in a row. I truly love teaching these classes. I just started a new semester and right now they are working on digital collages that serve as an interpretation of an article dealing with the Economy. I can’t wait to see how they come along. I have lunch and then fly through prep.

Tuesdays and Thursdays I have just started to teach an After School Comic Studio called CRASH! Comics. It is amazing. I really can’t express how cool this project is. About 20 kids are working with me to produce a comic book that is exploring the topic of the Chula Vista/Tijuana connection through various viewpoints. We are producing every part of the comic from the sponsors to an in school exhibition/fundraiser so that we can go on tour with the book, most notably we are going to try to get a booth at the 2010 ComicCon in San Diego.

I am super excited and I wanted to write today to express that. I know that I haven’t been in touch with a lot of people back home, and I wanted to let you know why. I am working constantly to make my family and my Grandfather proud. This has been the most crazy year of my life and I am about to note it as a close first for the “best” title.

I miss everyone so much! Come visit me!

I am going to keep posting. I really am. I like doing this.
