wow...livejournal...how crazy old this thing is. it's been over a year since i've updated...so...hell...i might as well throw another update into this thing just so i can laugh at myself in the future about how retarded i sound.
I'm currently attending central michigan university. initially i came here to get into business...specifically entrepreneurship...but that changed shortly into the semester when i found an interest in law. Business law. exciting right. I could triple major in 4 years...idk if i will...but i totally could...Right now i'm majoring in law&economics as one major, and political sciences as my other one. I could also do legal stidues...but i might wait for that to see if i have enough time or energy and that kind of stuff. or if i even still like law by that point. :)
School is going pretty well. I'm failing math...but all my other classes i could totally skip the final exam and still get an A... which is fantastic. life is going pretty well, too. I've been donating plasma to keep the money flowing in my direction. I've gone about 10 times now...and it's funny watching my chart change...cause they have to write down your weight and blood pressure and iron and levels of stuff in your blood before you can donate..and my weight keeps going up and the levels of good stuff in my blood keeps going down!! haha. but it's only about a week until winter break now and then i'll have an entire month for my blood to get back to normal before i start donating plasma again. it's fun. $55 a week. which is pretty good for a college kid. and i work every weekend that i go home, too. which is good because then i have money for the gas that i use driving home...and other things and stuff. i'm working 12 hours this saturday. Kayla's pissed because i was supposed to go to her family chrismas party with her. I would love to go...but i don't think she really understand the concept of money that much. it would be pointless for me to go home if i didn't work because it'd be a huge waste of money then.
which brings me to my next subject. I have to pay over $2,000 next semester...and I have no idea where that money is going to come from...even if i work everyday over break (which i won't because i'd want to die)...i still woudn't be able to make $2,000 and my parents can't afford to give me that kind of money. and that's not including the cost of books...my grandparents will send me some money to cover books...but they don't have money either...so this next semester will be interesting..and i'll be working my ass off this summer to try to come back to this school next year.
I also wanted to talkabout Happy Heart, i don't think i've ever said anything about that here. I started a little group that makes blankets for kids in low income families. i thought at first it would just be a small thing and maybe we'd get 20 blankets of something for kids in the local area...but damn...we've got about 80 and i couldn't be more excited...now the only problem is making them all by this weekend...so i have a long weekend ahead of me.
I have to drive all the way hpome on friday and hopefully be home by about 6 at night. then i'm making blankets all night and sewing hearts onto all of them, too. then saturday i'll wake up at about 8 and make a couple more blankets befpre i head off to work, then i'll come home later at night, probably at about 0 at night when the store closes...and then i'll make a few more blankets probably with my mom and maybe kayla will come over and hang out for a while...and then on sunday i'll be making them all day and counting them and sending them out to the place where all the christmas presents are so that they can organize them and start handing them all out. i feel great. i actually did soemthing good and amazing and i think i did a damn good job of it.
and now i'm out until next year.
oh btw's. my roommates are actually pretty cool. Brittany and Ashlyn are my sweetmates and Brooke is my roommate. she should take aderrall...but he's ok besides that, :))
BYE BYE!!
