I really don't know if me rambling is that interesting anymore, guess it's nice to keep it open just to show my family and friends what I'm up too. So, what am I up too. Well, my summer English class is over, I just checked and I got an 'A' grade in the class. So that's really good news, my GPA (Grade Point Average) is looking pretty good right now. Fall quarter starts September 18th, I have no idea when I'll have the time to blog then, not that I have the time now. But I have classes pretty much Mon-Thurs, and when I'm not in classes I'll more than likely be working in College, which is part of a work-study program. I'll be getting $12.50 hr, and working up too 12hrs a week. Which isn't bad but when you have 3 classes and your other job on the weekends it doesn't leave much time too yourself.

I haven't been working a lot the past couple of weeks, as the weather has been so great here, it's quiet in Tube Time. So I've decided to finally get started with my scrapbook project. I went to a local scrapbook store near by me and got all the starting supplies, I have a beginner's class this morning, which shall be fun. It feels good to be starting something new; I hope I'll have the time to keep up with it.

This past week has been pretty busy for Clayton and I as Clayton's uncle and friends have gone on Vacation for a couple of weeks. Clayton and I said we'd housesit and Dog sit for the nearby friends, so we've been back and forth doing that every night. I've also been busy babysitting Ben. Remember the young boy I used to baby-sit for before? Well, he's not young anymore he's nearly 3 and I haven't seen him in so long. I won't go into too much detail but finally he's in a warm, caring safe environment now.

Oh I keep forgetting to blog this. Thanks to Stacie & Alex I found a cool site where I can download my UK T.V shows from. I've been downloading Most Haunted and some UK drama shows, there's also Emmerdale and Coronation Street. So for my fellow expat Brits the site is called... UK NOVA.

Other than that life is pretty much the same as usual. I really feel I've outgrown this blog in more ways than one. At the beginning it was interesting to log all my cultural experiences down, but now that I'm settled it's all everyday life stuff. My priories have changed; I'm now focused on getting my degree. I still enjoy the comments everyone leaves. It's nice to know I have a very small number of people that still like to click my link.

An update is long overdue, I'm starting to be one of those boring blog reads that doesn't update anymore. I haven't really felt like blogging all that much recently. Clayton and I have been looking for new jobs as our jobs are currently giving us 10hr weeks, which is not enough for us to live really. I hope things pick up on my job, as I really don't want to start another job. I might be able to get work at College under a work-study program, which will help a lot.

The last week I have been gathering evidence for my I-751 Removing Conditions on my Residency, I finally send it off yesterday. Hopefully it won't be too long to wait for my 10yr Green Card. I can't believe those 2yrs went by so quickly. Thankfully, at least I'll have a break for a while, well until we can afford to file for citizenship.

Last Saturday my mother-in-law took me shopping for some new clothes as a belated Birthday gift. I had 4 nice skirts and 3 tops, I also had some new shoes. I was treated a lot! We had a nice afternoon together which was lovely. I also received a Build-a-Bear gift card, I bought some clothes for my Anniversary bear. I'm saving the rest to buy a new bear.

Yesterday we went out to visit The Lady Washington ship it was neat to see. The ship was used in The Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl. The ship was The Interceptor in the movie. It was really interesting to get pictures of the ship that Johnny Depp was on, even though parts of the ship were movie props. You can view some pics here.
