Catch up!!

Well, it's been almost a month since I've last posted, so I'll try to remember everything that has happened since.

Practicum is going well, I've been getting my hands up, but not as much as I wanted. I had a whole week full of hours that got dropped all at once, crap!! I felt a little concerened about my hours for a while, not knowing If I could meet the requirement, but then Carla (my other mentor) came through and got me a SUPER SWEET JOB!!!! FOR A WEEK!!!! 40HOURS!!!! I did the most stupid happy dance ever, good thing no one saw me. I've been getting my hands into everything that I can and decided I LOVE this job. I even have some ideas that the reading program (here at DCS) could do, so I'm going to try and run that by the teacher and see how she feels about it. Other than helping out in the office, reading program, and the nessesary requirements for Bethel, thats my intern in a nutshell.

As for my life outside DCS, its been kind of boring and interesting at the same time. The boring part begins when I get home from DCS; watch T.V., prep, and eating dinner (well, I like eating dinner, i guess thats not boring.)
I went to a Subaru car meet a few weeks back and that was awesome. I got to meet a few people, we hung out, had a bonfire at the beach, ate some nasty burgers (seriously, white and not sure what it was made of.). That was a good time, but sadly I have to miss this months meet, insted my sister is comming to visit for a weekend and I'm very pumped about her comming!!

I also made some friends here at DCS, like Charlie (she's a chick), Oscar, Amanda, Eric, Darlene, Amy, and Megan (we both like to express our love for cheese and food in general). I love it here at DCS, its so relaxed and I really enjoy the people here. I also love going to the reading program (program for MLS and Deaf students wanting to go to college)to help out, it helps me think outside the box more and its awesome when the students give you that big nod and tell you they understand.
I also met this guy at a social event that had me convinced that he was Deaf....and he's in ASL 3 at Mesa college. WOW! His name is Jason, he asian with red tipped hair, and Him and I have been talking and hanging out at the "GOD given" In and Out. One of the best burgers I have ever tasted in my life, and cheap too.

I don't recall what the last 'pull-over' was about, but let me refresh. I got pulled over in MO for haveing 2 license plates, that cop was cool. I got stopped at a check point and questioned about the license plates. I got pulled over again after i ruined my orange shirt and tried to look for its replacement, that cop called me 'boy' walked backwards to his cuiser keeping an eye on me and bascily was parinoid. I got pulled over again for the plates and was acused for having a stolen bike (becuase I took the front wheel off to make my bike fit in the car).

I got pulled over for the last time for the plates (this one was the coolest). After being pulled over and handing over my license and registration, I waited for what seemed like forever. All of sudden I see another cruiser pull up behind the original and thats when I kind of freaked. The second cop stood behind my car, analizing it while the other came back to my window. " What were you arested for?!" he asked me. I thought he was joking, but he aske me again. "Nothing" I told him. He gives me a funny look and asked "Are you sure?" "Positive" I said. "You weren't in chula vista for something?" he asked. "No!, I just got here a few weeks ago." I reply. He givves me another funny look and walks back to his car. At this point, I was hopeing he would hand-cuff me because that would of been an awesome story to tell. He came back, telling me he had me mixed up with another Jesse Carlos Vasquez, born on June 18, 1986, Mine being June 17th, 1986. My hope had disapeared, but was still a really cool story. :)He let me go and I decided to go to the Home Depot and buy a pair of pliers and pull and rip the old plate off. From then on out, I've had no problems what so ever.

I also got to meet up with a friend that I had not seen in 5 years since we were camp counselors. that was a good time, and really hope to see her again before I leave.

Other than this, nothing too exciting happened. I will try to be better at keeping up with the bloggs, but having no comp at home makes it a little hard. ;) hope everyone is doing grand!
