Summer Reading

My 2010 summer reading list includes Where the Sidewalk Ends, so I thought it would be nice to post a poem per day.

So, let's begin!

Invitation

If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!


Summer is...

a beginning, an ending, and sometimes a last chance.

I have been on "vacation" for two weeks now and I have not done anything worthy of mention. Monday, I start macro economics at COC. I thoroughly hated the class at CSUF (received a D, 67%) because it bored me to sleep and sometimes to tears. Thankfully this will be a very quick, and minimally painful 4 week session.

I'm still fighting to be released from the prerequisite course for applied calculus at Ventura college. I emailed the required documents and followed up with a phone call. The guy, Steve Manriquez (whoever that is!), hasn't bothered to call back. My registration date was May 24th! Thankfully registration is open until later and there are still 11 open spots in the class. I passed college algebra (the prerequisite) with a C+ so there should be no problem. Also, Applied Calculus is shown as the equivalent of Math 135 (Business Calculus at CSUF), so having it count for my requirement won't be a hassle.

As for jobs, I've applied to Target, Petsmart, Chipotle, Chase, Six Flags (bastards!), and as daycare aid.

I need the money to pay my month credit card bills. I wish I never signed up for them!
