Basically, it's been about two months (give a few days) since I wrote in this blog last. I thought about it..but, just haven't done it. Now, I'm making time!
-This blog is more like an online journal than it is a myspace page or anything..I just kinda write what I'm going through and stuff.
So, since the last time I wrote on here I've finished summer semester and started fall semester. Fall officially start on Monday! And, it's so amazing outside. PERRRRRFECT weather! I couldn't ask for anything more. There's nothing like loving the weather outside. Fall is my favorite time of year and it just makes me happy :)
Well, since the last time I've also gone out on a few dates! Shocking -I know. The first one's was with a guy from my grandparents church...and, I knew he was moving to NYC, but we hung out anyway. The other one's....well, they're recent! Recent as in..like..Last night, this past weekend...etc. I'm not sure what to say, really. I love making new friends :) Sometimes it's easier to make guy friends..but, I usually get nervous. Anyway, this guy is a fireman and emt in South Walton. He's 20, and handsome :) ...Enough of that.
School..well, it's extreeeemely nerve-wracking. I'm taking two classes this semester that are, to say the least, a bit difficult -Biology & Micro Economics. I guess it's just been a while..and I'm really having to study! When you don't do it for a while, you forget how to do it the right way.
So, this coming Monday is mine and Mike's 19th BIRTHDAY! I just can't believe it! There's so many emotions that go along with getting older now, but I'll save that for another post.
I think I've made this post long enough...so.

TGIFFFFFFF!
Well, today's Friday!
Thank God! This week has been a rough one.
Trying to get everything situated with school is..for lack of a better word, annoying! I've been to the financial aide office countless times in the past few weeks. They tell me I need just one more piece of paperwork..then, just one more, and so on. How frustrating!?
This summer semester is crazy! I've never taken a short summer semester before..and, it's intense! To fit everything in one month that is usually jammed into four months is insane. Good news!! I'm doing well in my class! I mean, so far, I've gotten good grades on my quizzes and tests! I couldn't really ask for better..I mean, an A would be nice...but, let's not get picky!
All day Thursday and partially on Wednesday I was sick! Throwing up...and, I think a fever? But, I could never check it...I was too busy being acquainted with the toilet. I didn't eat anything all day Thursday and threw up my dinner from Wednesday night. Man, was I somewhat hungry on Thursday late night! Luckily, my boss is understanding and I called him at 6:20A and he let me stay home on Thursday! So, I slept. ..and slept a little more..and a little bit more, until I forced myself to crawl out of bet and shower and get ready for school at 5P. School was a DRAG listening for 3 1/2 hours and taking a quiz. Ugh, I was dead to the world on Thursday.
But, today I'm feeling better. Thank goodness.
This weekend will be extremely busy trying to get all of my schoolwork finished. I have an exam to study for, chapters to read, a paper to write, study guide to fill out...well, you get the drift.
So, woo hoo for the weekend?

Ohh, it's Monday!
Man, Monday's seem especially hard sometimes. This past weekend was pretty busy!
Friday night I volunteered at the DS monthly meeting. I played with the kids and helped keep an eye on them. Man, do kids know how to keep you feeling "young!" (Like I'm so old!)
Then, on Saturday night I babysat for a family that I knew from Alabama. They are in Destin on a work trip and wanted some free time, so, I helped 'em out. I didn't get home til late because I went and kept Mike busy while he was pulling an all-nighter at work.
So, luckily, Meme & Papa let me sleep in and skip church..Then about 12:30 me and Mike made a trip to Marianna, where we grew up, and hung out with an old childhood friend. It was good to see her! But, I wish that we could've seen more of our friends! But, it's ok.
So, needless to say, my weekend was pretty busy.
On another note..everyday..it's a struggle, a personal struggle. Sort of like an "addiction" as I've described it. I'm trying to take it day by day..but, it doesn't seem to be getting much easier. I wish I was like other people that can just wipe things out of their mind and not worry about it. Like it never existed!...But, that's not who I am.
So, another struggle I seem to be having is school. I'm just not enjoying school right now. When I was at AUM, I made a lot of great friends the last semester I was there.. It seems like at GCCC I just haven't met anyone yet. I mean, honestly, I'm going to school because I want my degree...but, a nice social life would be nice!!

I'm baaaaaaaack!?
So, I originally started this, as you can see in February 2007 for a school paper. As you can tell...that was over a year (and almost a half) ago. It's so crazy to think that it has been that long! There has been MANY things happen in my young life since then. Some that are good, and some that are bad.
Mainly, I'm starting this out of boredom. But, also, I think I'm starting this just to let all of my feelings out. I no longer live with my parents, I now live with my grandparents in Panama City Beach, Fl. I moved here about two months ago...for reasons that I will save for another blog, some other time. HAHA.
Uhm...I attend Gulf Coast Community College. This summer semester is my first semester there..and, so far, it's tough! Maybe that's because I never took any "serious" courses at AUM except English Comp 101 & 102. But, anyway, it seems to be a little tricky. I'm taking one class this summer semester, which is a bummer. At GCCC they only allow two classes for the summer, and since my transcripts had yet to transfer, I wasn't sure on any other classes to take..
Uhm, to make a long story short, I left behind a wonderful family back in Alabama. My mom, dad and four adopted sisters. Three of the four have Downs...and they were all adopted! My mom and dad have a lot on their plate, but I know wouldn't trade it for the world! My twin brother lives here with me in Florida. We both moved away at different times. Mike moved about a year & a half ago, and I just a few months. We both moved for different reasons, his more financially driven, mine more for independence. I'm sure we will both flock back to the nest at some point in time, even if just for a little while. (He will probably sooner than I.) It's always nice to know you have a home to go back to if needed! But, if we leave my parents alone for too long, they'll probably continue to fill up the house with more little kiddies! ;)

i'm new to this whole thing..
So, initially, i'm starting this for a college process analysis essay..that's mainly why i'm doing this. To explain to my professor who isn't exactly "web savvy", or so she says..
So, this is an example..
and maybe, just maybe...
