| So school is just about over for Charlie and me. Only one problem, its just an itsy bitsy one. I have absolutely no clue what I want to do. I thought about massage therapy. However, if I did that the 30 thosand or so I spent on education would be a complete waste. At the same time though, massage is something I would really like to do. I think for now though it is time that I find an actual well paying job using my degree. It is something that could possibly be post--poned untill I actually get the money to pay off some of the loans for collage. Because I am not for sure going to find a job once I get done with training anyway. Plus, the school is not yet recognized by the govrnment as an educational institution. So this means that my loans from collage would not go into deferement. Plus I woulld have to take out even more loans to pay for classes and start paying on the old ones. I also do not own a massage table so that is another at least five to 1000 dollars right there! So it all boils down to tomorow. I made an apointment monday with career services at ISU to see what help they could offer in possibly pointing me in the right direction. Because ever since I spoke with my advisor, I have felt a bit uncomfortable about the how job thing after college. I went to her and asked "What can I do with my degree?" She pretty much told me "Anything you want." So I guess that means I could be president then right? hehe. Imagine me Mr. President and my First Gentleman, Charlie. One can only hope right? Classes seem to be going well but a bit hectic. Let us just say, Jared is not sleeping regularly. *grumble* Oh well sleep when your dead right? Speaking of classes I am considering maybe saying and getting a minor or second major in Anthropology. Or maybe at some point in time I may take the GRE, the awful test it is, and get a masters in Anthro. Charlie and I have also somewhat agreed in part that we would like to have kids of our very own within the next five to seven years. We shall figured more out about that later. At least that will give us more of a reason to get our act together quickly and quit pussy footin' around the subject. We are finally out of the finacial rut we have only been in for the past almost six months. It only seemed like forever! So perhaps our stress level will go down a bit. Well, that all for now! | | |
| - So honestly, I know it has been forever since I have been on this, but acautally I am finding the internet to be less fun. Here I was thinking that having DSL would be a great, wonderful, and amazing thing. The more I think about it though the more I have grown to dislike it for one reason or another.
Reasons why? - Costs way too much
- hardly ever use it
- hardly ever works right
- have to wait on the phone for thirty mins at a time just to talk to somone
So anyway I am pretty much for getting rid of it but we shall see. 2. Moving away from Terre Haute will probably be one of the best things that Charlie and I could do for ourselve. I am so looking forward to getting out of here. Our current apartment simply doesn't hold a candle to the one that we have picked out We move out May 2, 2008! Yay - More room
- Nicer neighborhood
- more closet space
- dishwasher
- Disposal
- Large kitchen
- Storage with an actual door that works
- Good quality windows
- lots more cabinet space
- Huge pantry
- Huge bathroom
- 916 sqft compared to a measly 500ish
- Just nicer all around
So now I hope you see why I am anxious to move. 3 Grades Alll in all, I am qute pleased with my proformance this past Spring. All B's and a Bt. Not too shabby! I have some things that I could work on like motovation to do the work for starters. Now knowing there is an end in sight after four years is always a plus. So I think the motovation coming from the big move will help greatly 4. Classes I am taking four summer classes the names of which I can't recall at the current morment but I am very much looking forward to them. I have made a paper chain which has a link for each class I have left to take at ISU and it is 13 and counting! This also helps me with the motovation factor mentioned prevously 5 Books I have 16 books for the summer and fall semesters! Can you say ouch? My back will be killing me! Oh well I guess that is the price I have to pay to get done on time. 6.Work I was employed with Wal*Mart on April 14, 2007 and I am now looking for a new job to take the place of that one if that tells you anything at all. That's all I am going to say about that. 7 Mirage We got her declawed just a day or so ago. She has been really jumpy. I wanted to do it maily because she would keep clawing furniture andshe would get her claws stuck in the carpent and then scream in agoney when she couldn't get them out but wasn't afraid to bite once you tried to help her. So now, she is till in a bit of pain but doing better. Well, that's about it for now. I am going to go watch a move with Charlie | | |
| It has been a good while since I have actually sat down and wrote something. So I thought what the heck just do it. so here goes.
There isn't too much to tell. Other than being alone really fucking sucks. Once you're single you really can experience people for who they truly are. In most cases, it is quite frightening what you can find. I mean sure, you find a nice person with true intentions. However you have to dig through all the crap, which takes a good while to do because most people don't show themselves right away.
So this time alone has prompted a lot of thinking. There were a few people I spoke with during this time, but in general it was just me exploring myself. I think this was something I really really needed. I doubt I could have been with anyone until I had figured this all .
Even though all of that seems somewhat depressing it all had to happen. The holidays were wonderful. Charlie and I now have a washer and dryer! You don't know how happy this makes the both of us! It is so exciting. I know, you say it's just laundry but I hate laundry matts.
On a happier note. I know how could this get any happier right? It can! When I got home from my parents' house there stood Charlie and he just hugged me. It felt amazing just to be held by him. It felt as though it was meant to be. Then there was something I wasn't ready for. He asked me a question I wasn't quite ready for. He asked me if I wanted to get back together. I told him I would love to so now everything just seems right. Time truly is the healer of all things. It only took five moths but for once I just let things take their own course which if you know me, you know that that is hard thing for me. In the end, I am just very happy.
Well that's all for now.

| Hello to everyone!
Classes are welll under way. I am enjoying my classes very much. I find many of my professors to be very interesting this this term. One of which is my English professor. She just left for Rome Italy yesterday. She is attending the canaization of the Nun who founded Saint Marry of The Woods colllege in Terre Haute. She and I have many common views and share one particular intrest, which is Sylvia Browne. We have met and discussed many of her books and teachings. I find Mrs. Landess to be life long friend material. Her support and advice has really been a God sent.
I feel like ISU was definately a positive change for me. It's not that Vincennes was horrible, but I just feel more of a challange and a want to learn from ISU. It has also been a positive change for me in regard to my relationship with charlie because it now allows us to share our joys and sarrows togheteer. In many ways, ISU has become my means for starting over. I have found what really matters to me in regard to a major and minor both. I have began to take control of my life and goals and it is very empowering.
I feel myself growing in leaps and bounds each day. That isn't to say I don't have my moments of stress, but I have certainly come a very long way from where I was two years ago. I have not only set educational goals for myself but I am actually making sure to see them through!
It is just about time to put schedules together for the spring semester. For some reason, I have always looked forward to this. My first thought was to look into taking the majority of my gen ed requirements. However, they will always be there to take as my advisor says. So I think I may take three three or four history courses and Spanish 201. History is definately my strong suite.
Speaking of Spanish 201, I have to do pretty well with it. It will be a large determinate in my summer plans for this year. Charlie and I are planning on traveling abroad and studying in Mexico. However, weather or not I go with him depends on my grade in the spanish class this spring. Hoping all goes well, this would be my first time out of the United States. I find the prospect of this to be very exciting. I told Charlie that I may turn out to like it so well that I will have a hard time going back. I have alwasys wanted to travel and now I may have the chance to do so. So just keep your fingers crossed!

| With school about to begin and the big move about to take place, my life will quickly be changing for the better. I spent the good part of the day just relaxing. I had a breakfast thing this morning at the Masonic Timple in Riley. I didn't exactly want to get up before eight but the stupid alarm had to go off and remind me of that. So I went there and got my certificate and had biscuts and gravey. *Dies from happiness* Then Mom and I went to the new WalMart. It is huge!!!!! Maybe I should put a few more "!!!!" There that should do it. I got my new computer the other day and I have fallen in love with it being that it isn't a Dell and it actually works correctly for a change. I didn't know computers were capable of such things. Well, thats all for now. I should go check on the dinner.
