The Happenings of Late

I have signed up for my first science class this spring quarter. I am in Bio 160 and it  has proven to be difficult to keep up and remember all that is necessary for each test. I take long night classes and the average amount of class days I have between each test is about 3 days. Not a lot of time to ask questions. My second test is this coming Tuesday and hopefully my flash cards I just finished will help me.

I am still working as a sign language interpreter at two school districts and some times I also sub as a para educator. It is spring time and many people are using up their sick days and all that so I have luckily been kept very busy. I also recently started a third job being a server for a catering company called Glover Mansion. The busy season for them has just started so I look forward to many work days through the summer with them.

Also, in the next few weeks, my boyfriend Chad and I will be moving into our own apartment. It is a very exciting time for us with that. I can't wait! It will be nice to have our own space. Wish us luck!!

Just Another Day

So thankfully SOPA has not passed thanks to an overwhelming number of people writing to their government. That made me happy. I was glad so many web sites did either a full blackout or a partial blackout together one day so people could see those sites would be targeted and really...the Internet was boring that day and slightly hard to use. So go American citizens.

My job search is still on going. I have put in many job applications but so far no one is biting. I'm sure it will happen sometime soon. But as for right now, I just continue to job hunt and substitute interpret maybe once a month. Hopefully next quarter I won't miss out on a science class again. It has been pretty boring not working or going to school. But I know this is probably the calm before the storm. Watch; in the spring when i start a hard science class, I will also find work, and my film project will pick up again. then i will be so busy I will probably wonder what happened. But until then I wait.

SOPA-Its Bad News

So, I was reading up on SOPA (stop online piracy act) today, and that's when I realize most of the people I know don't know anything about this bill other than that the titles sounds good and should be something you are for. But see it's a good thought, but its a bad bill.

If you use Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Google, Yahoo, Reddit, Youtube or anything on the Internet like it, (which all of us do and use everyday) then you can't let SOPA or PIPA pass.

These bills are the way for our government to shut these down and control and censor our Internet like CHINA does. We don't want that. The government makes these sound good in the title because they don't want us to look into how corrupt and awful these would be. There are other things that are working at protecting from piracy without these awful restrictions. So please do not fall for the government and don't let these pass.

Welcome to the Year 2012

I had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family as well as a great New Years with more friends and watching some fireworks. with the new year finally arrived, I hope a few unfinished filming projects will become complete as well as figuring out money to finally get an apartment. Lots to do, yet still a bit tired from all the busyness of the holidays. Hopefully everything will start to come together soon. :)

The PAX Convetion

Last week, Chad and I went on our trip to Seattle for the PAX convention. For those who may not know what that is, it's like a comic convention but for video and table top games. The idea was that we wanted to ride a train for once and so we bought tickets to go over to Seattle using the Bus, and on our way home on Monday we would ride the train. Well come Monday, Amtrak decided to cancel our train and made us wait three extra hours for a bus to take us home. Talk about the most angry Rushele. I still plan to write a huge complaint to Amtrak. But on the bright side Chad and I got to do all the cool stuff at PAX we wanted as well a fun concert on Saturday night. It was a very good trip.

Tuesday morning, I had a job interview for a school district who needed an interpreter. I didn't get the full time job but I am now the sub as well as the after school activities interpreter. So I feel that is a really good start so i can finally gain good experience that will help me move forward in the future.

Great Sunny Days

A few days ago, I was gardening a little in our raspberry bushes and my chicken decided to help me. She was right in my lap, Literally. I had to reach around her to continue pulling weeds. Then I would throw the weeds and tall grass to the pile and my Golden Retriever would jump over and bite the grass like he had to help kill it with me. It was so cute. I have awesome pets.

The job hunt continues. So far no bites on my resumes. That starts to become stressful since a job right now would be amazing. But hey, I'm hanging in there. Maybe I will get lucky soon.

And Lastly, I have started rehearsals on the next film I will be acting in. It's action packed and full of adventure. It is with the same director as Transcontinental and this one starts filming as the last one, finishes being edited. So for everyone inquiring about Transcontinental to me for the longest time, it will be done soon. No worries.

June Update

June 17th, I graduated from College with my Certificate of Completion in American Sign Language Interpreting. I still have some things to finish up this summer here an there but otherwise, I'm just trying to find work and strive for Certification now. Hopefully this fall I can finish my AA and then I will decide what to do from there.Two weeks ago, our Netherland Dwarf bunny had four beautiful little babies. and then last week our Polish had four beautiful babies as well. They are growing up so fast. They all have hair now and the first batch have their eyes and ears open finally. Dad and I went camping this week and on the way home stopped by to see some family we haven't seen for a while. It was fun and we got to catch up some. once home, we checked on the babies again and they grew so fast! I couldn't believe how quick they grew. before leaving for camping they were all blind and deaf and now they have their eyes open and their ears open. So cute.
