driving in texas

i had always dissed my dad for his slow driving. The first day when he was taking me to Athi River, i thought oh my, I have been dumped in the bundus. later, i learnt that it does not have to take that long to travel to athi and i became a dayscholar.

ah, now, I am a slow driver. In the words of my workmate who did not want to offend me 'a careful driver'. That is great because i was using my Kenya dl to drive around and so i did not want to get caught in the wrong. I finally did my test last week and i failed the first time reason for failing? yes you guessed right, driving too slowly. the second day, i went for the test, i still drove a bit slowly but i did not fail. hooray. i hear most people fail their tests on the first time.

i have been driving in Texas for a while and i am getting used to Texas roads and Texas drivers. Texas roads all look alike! if you miss an exit, you have to move in the opposite direction to get your exit. (that took me forever to figure and i used to keep calling my boyfriend who has become my GPS)! everything is bigger in Texas! i have faith in myself and my GPS, i do not panic when lost - though i have to confess i missed a class one day because of getting lost!

drivers in Texas, they all think the driving limits are a suggestion, i am driving within the speed limit and everyone is moving past me like i am riding a bike. everyone seems to be in a hurry. ah the experience of being the slow, i mean careful driver.

club life in denton

ha ha ha - i like the phrase ha ha ha.

i went clubbing yesterday night for like 2 hours and realized drinking is not so much fun. that is officially not my thing! ah and i have been teaching for too long! i bumped into 3 different students from different classes while at the club. that did not kill my mood for dancing, i still danced a bit. Moral of the story? i like working. I am looking forward to work.

ha ha ha

no i cannot sweep, I am educated

it has been a while since i blogged and it feels kinda new and exciting to write. i have been busy looking for a summer job. I had a nanny job for two weeks and then the family decided to travel (suddenly)? anywho, after that small job, I realized that kids are not for me, at least for now.

After talking to my sister, she teased me that i had gotten fired. I have never gotten fired from any job (i would be wise enough to quit before i was fired). Here is a list of why the family had to 'travel':

-being used to driving alone, i may have forgotten and used an adult word when driving the kids
-my food was not so funky
-maybe i was not good at sweeping (the old am a graduate i might not know how to sweep joke)
ha ha ha so in the process of thinking about those jobs, i decided to make a list of what i hated in other jobs:
-working long hours for little pay
-not getting a contract because i could not have a drink with an old play boy supervisor
-being told to lie to donors
-not getting paid

ah my work life.
p.s.: i can really sweep clean

finally

I am through with this semester. Two down and two more to go and then after that, I get a good job and get me some good money. hooray!

I am really liking hanging out today. last class was jana and we went out to celebrate. i like siku ya closi! that just plain rocks. except that this time i do not get a 10 bob from mum and use it to enjoy chips, suasage (i seriously miss kenyan sausages and bhajia and kuku porno - especially after a drink ah...-
the sausages in America are too salty and taste like crap - yes i have eaten crap)...

i was talking about closing and it sure feels nice not to be in school. now am so motivated to finish school and get me a real job in marketing, pr or any other field of communication including teaching (as long as am not teaching lower level students who download work and forget to delete the phrase 'for more information, click on this link') TRUE STORY, I WAS THERE - ONE OF MY STUDENTS...

to my future employer:
i have certificate in grief counselling, a degree in psychology, postgraduate diploma in PR and currently taking a masters in communication. My project for my postgraduate diploma was on marketing practices in non profit organizations. My thesis is on political communication and leadership. But do I say? JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE...

I just want to finish school!!!

ah end of the semester...

feels as good as two other things i can mention, sorry four, i had forgotten some good drink and some ice cream, oh 5, and water... oh and a hot bath, oh and the feeling of driving a new car and you will have to figure out the other two.

am just glad that tomorrow is the last day of school. i have not finished my papers yet but it sure feels nice to just relax, even if illegally... ha

what can i say, thank you God for taking good care of me. I know things are not the way i would not want them to be but thank you for taking good care of me.

i dont understand life

I dont understand life but that does not mean that i actually hate life. What it means is that every thing has a purpose (words i was advised not to use in grief counselling). My heart is with all the KQ staff family and friends.

My sis and a couple of my friends work there and am more than emotional today as I think that I may have said some last goodbyes to some of my dear friends. But as they say, life is for the living!

Am glad my sis is ok but I still have not gotten any word about my friends...
