Balcony Garden

I started a very small garden on my apartment balcony, I have tomatoes, basil and cilantro. The cilantro is growing fast and so is the tomato plant. I can't wait to eat some home grown food. It takes me back to the days where I would harvest food with my dad.

I want to try growing some peppers and some cucumbers. I think I will start experimenting with different fruits and veggies. :D

I'm going back again.

I want to be hidden.

Teaching Spanish

At the beginning of the year when we were talking about teaching our students Spanish I was excited about the idea but I was scared for myself. My mom always told me that I spoke pocho Spanish, and at that, it was Splanglish. I am the youngest of 3 and I learned English first because of my sisters, Spanish was the side language. I was not proud of my Spanish growing up, i wanted to have proper vocabulary. So in high school I began my studying and all the way through college but nothing has helped more than having to teach it to others, and now my Spanish isn't too shabby ;)

Ms. D

some joy?

teaching the kiddos poetry, so far it's good...

Your apologies mean nothing to me,
they have become so repetitive
the words no longer have meaning.

I'm not a game, don't play me.
You are a child still wondering lost,
while I'm in a journey of survival.

I want you by my side,
but to you that can't be done.

Sylvester

I got a guinea pig not too long ago to keep me company, but it turns out that he hates me. Sylvester keeps to himself and doesn't like to be bothered. I feed him his favorite snack (carrots) and give him lots of floor time but something about me I guess he doesn't like. I gave him some paper to burrow with and he covered up all his cage to the point where I couldn't see him or what he did. I could only hear him.

this happens with everything ...

Traveling the states

I don't know if most Americans travel the states. It seems like when Americans do travel it's always to other countries. The only states I have been to are: California (native), Nevada & Wisconsin.

So with my lack of interstate travel I am' hoping to travel a different state each year. So I was hoping some people could tell what cities to visit in what states and why? I'm vegan too if that matters.

Thanks,
Ms. D
