the first of what I hope of many

So where do I actually start with this blogging business?

I feel I have not done this since my XANGA days. Remember XANGA!? Do people still use that site anymore.

Anyway, this is my first blog, and I am lost for words.

Well, I guess I can start of by saying that I have been busy here in the city. If you don't know i Currently live in Chicago, IL. I moved out here about year and a half ago. Since then I have had 3 melt downs,  5 different jobs, applied to grad school, got into to grad school, got into a funk band, got kicked out of the funk band, done shows, and performed in bars! Healthy, I think so. Currently I am working for an organization where I am the Program coordinator for 21st Century program. Pretty much I hang with kids in 5th-8th. Slowly but sure I am working up to High Schoolers, that is where I would like to be in the future. But one step at a time. 

Well my job is real cool! I mean the areas I work in are not that safe. I mean kids cant have recess because of safety issues! That baffles my brain! I mean how are the kids releasing all that energy, that why they are acting out during the school day there is no where to exert that energy. Crazy!

My job is sending to the NAA Conference (National AfterSchool Association) in New Orleans, which I am really excited about! I leave Wednesday and then return on Saturday. I am scared, because I hate flying, especially by myself... no jason, no friends...Nobody.  I mean I will have the big man upstairs, and my mp3 player. Ugh, this is going to be interesting. I am pretty sure I am going to think the most ridiculous thoughts about the plane...I don't want to think about, freakin' me out as I type this. Once I land though..I will be ok. Until I have to get on the plane again. Its a vicious cycle.

Anyway the next time I blog hopefully it will be a little bit more exciting!
