Dia de los Muertos at Disneyland

I love this set up in Frontierland. It reminds me of the movie, The Halloween tree, based on Ray Bradbury's book. They have free face painting which I thought was way cool since nothing is ever free at Disneyland. I'll be there again next week with my sister so I'm sure we'll get it done again.

Updates

I'm a horrible blogger, or at least at multi-blogging.
I have a tumblr, live journal and this blog.
I should just copy and paste, that would save a lot of time right?

Well here's the scoop since my last post:
School is going...that's it. I'm passing all of my classes, with the exception of math. I'm picking up the slack and really focusing on it now. I want to pass. I need to pass. I WILL PASS! I want to raise my csu GPA so I want to aim for all Bs this semester. Aiming for a B in calculus is setting the bar high but I'd be happy with a C.

I FINALLY got a job; it's with Bath & Body Works. I interviewed on the 8th but because of a lack of communication between HR and the store (needing to know if I was eligible for rehire), I didn't know if I officially got the job until this past Friday, the 15th. I have training/orientation today from 2pm - 6pm, for which I get PAID! in dollah dollah bills! :D

I'm so thankful to God for providing this job and I hope I get decent hours so I can save my $ for rent. I know it's really wishful thinking but I want/need a few days off during the holiday season that I hope the store will allow.

First, Nov. 4 & 5th because Diana and I want to go to DLR for our birthdays. I don't see how this will be a big problem since it's just the beginning of the holiday season so they aren't that busy yet.

Next, Nov. 23rd. Now this is a definite NEED. I have an orthodontist appointment that morning so I'll only be requesting the closing shift instead of the whole day off.

Finally, Dec. 18th. A Saturday. One week before Christmas. Yes, I know this crazy but it's Tradition Day! This is the one day a year we arrive at my grandma's house SUPER early, sleep, then wake up to make tamales for our Christmas dinner and various baked goodies. I'm 99.9% sure it will be "blocked out", meaning no one is allowed to request the day off but I will ask for the closing shift. I will be dead tired but at least I get to keep my family tradition. I've never missed one before and I refuse to start now.

Well, I need to go study for math until 1pm. Then have lunch, change into uniform, and head over to work. It's pouring outside which probably means the 5 freeway will be a mess.
