Okay, so I am in school right now. This is my robotics class which is where we build, well duh, robots. We go to a kick off which is where we find out what we need to build. Then we have 6 weeks to build that robot and ship it to the location where one of the many Regional Competitions are held. We just finished the robot and sent it to Las Vegas yesterday. I did not attend because it was Presidents Day and my sister took me shopping. Got a few pair of pants and 2 pairs of shoes (converse baby!) and as well as a couple shirts, oh! and one pair of boots. anyhoo! So it turns out I may be moving to Kasilof sooner! My dad wants to get caught up with the bills and then we are going to start moving things down there. Kinda wanna go, but then I kinda don't. For various reasons. I have some more drawings too! but I have yet to post them... I am soo tired. I be spacing out a lot. Anyhoo!
Signing out for now. I'll try to post and update meself more often! ^_^ Have fun one and all!

Completes a job shadow or site visit to a business and posts summery in Portfolio. - SCHOOL
Working With My Dad On The Job
We have a really small business called HandyFam Services. My mother used to be the manager and my dad was the main man. My brothers helped out as well, and my sister did janitorial. Now the younger one of my two brothers, Michael, works in tile and the older brother, Daniel, is good at pretty much anything like my dad. So my brother and dad are jacks-of-all-trades. My sister is no longer in the business either; she is a manager at Todd Communications. We all want to have the family business back at it again. I didn’t have a role before, but now I just help out with whatever I can. Currently I am taking care of the paper work and stuff, kind of like a secretary.
For one of my job shadows, I decided to shadow my dad. He works for himself as a handyman in our own mini-business. We were building a shed for a woman who owns a bunch of buildings and rents them out. She is currently living in her home, which is also a bed and breakfast. It was pretty cold out but we worked. As my dad was building the walls I was pulling out nails and nailing in some kind of hinge thing. I would help my dad in cutting wood and marking lengths for the doors. I would blow off the snow when it was snowing with an air compressor. I helped out with a bunch of the mini-tasks. I would unload the tools and when he need nails for the nail gun I would get them, or a tool from the van, I would get those too. I also loaded all the tools in the van too. When my dad was putting the window in, I helped with that too! Whatever I could help with, I did. And that was my day job shadowing my dad. It was fun, and I learned many new things. PLUS!! I helped build a shed! WHOOP! And if you know of anyone who needs a handyman, just call on us! We’ll be there and we are pretty cheap. Just trying to make enough money to keep a roof over our heads.

Things are looking up...
First off, here is one of my newest drawings.
I really like this one.
Second:
My dad and I were talking, and if I get this summer job with a long time friend of the families, then I can stay with my sister melissa for the summer, and I was hoping that if I can get a full time part time job (as in through the school year) then maybe I can live with my sister for another school year. That would be awesome. But I still have to figure somethings out. Anyhoo! and sorry I havent been on, our phone keeps giving out and therefore our internet doesnt stay on for more than 5 seconds but for some reason the internet is working just fine. And for my friends. I have a cell now, but its not long distance so if you are in the lower 48 or have an out of state number dont call me on my cell. I dont have texting. If you want my number email me at carissazlove@msn.com asking for it. Laters!
