I know it's been awhile since i updated (ok, a long while) but i just have some things i NEED to say and i think this is the best medium for what i need to say.
First of all- LIFE ISN'T THAT BAD! Good lord, there are some people i know/talk to that think the world is horrible. They find the most minute details of a wonderful day and bitch about the bad things and hardly mention the amazing things. Seriously, i use to be one of those people but i have realized in the last 4 months or so that it's so not worth it. Life is too short to whine constantly. You better believe bad shit happens to me, all the time, but why dwell on it when there are so many good things going on? I am sorry it rained when you wanted to go for a walk today, maybe you should go puddle jumping instead, it's much more fun than walking anyway (for example).
I have grown up a lot lately, mainly because i had to, but partly because i wanted to. Up until recently i HATED winona for various reasons, but now, when i think about it, without living here for 4 years and doing what i did while i was here, i'd be a completely different person. yes the city council of winona is less than intelligent on most of their decisions and yes winona is mainly made up of anti-college kids OLD PEOPLE but you know what, who cares? I really want to live in a town similiar to winona when i am raising kids. The citizens of this town really love it, and that is dedication you don't see in many towns without some fucked up corruption going on. Winona is beautiful too. With the bluffs (that i use to always make fun of) and the river, along with how beautiful the campus is. I use to curse winona, a lot, infact sarah and i use to call it "Bitch-ona" and i will always call it "win-nowhere" (only cuz it is a pretty isolated little town, much like cumberland in the fact that you have to drive 20 minutes to get anywhere worthwhile). I have made some great friends here and has some even better learning experiences. As far as what i hate about Winona....the only thing i downright hate would be the Beier's Family.
I am moving to Red Wing in like 20 days. In those 20 days i have take home tests, spanish words to memorize, PSI paper to re-write like 30 times, BOWLING FOR SOUP CONCERT and squeezing in time to see everyone i want to see before i leave. To some people that may seem stressful or hard but i accept the challenge and i think it will be FUN. Yes, you heard me, FUN. I love my life, my family, my kitties and my friends.
