My mom just emailed this to me. Please check it out. The situation is amazing to me that we can complete starve someone to death that is not even dying. This story was very close to me for many reasons, but considering it was in very close proximately of where I live I heard a lot about it before the national media picked it up.

I'm not going to go on and on about how I feel about the situation but just check out these links and read for yourself what was really going on, and not just what "they" want you to think happened.

Also, you might want to visit this site to learn more about the situation, and to sort out things that many media sources have construed.

Funny

I thought that it was pretty funny that my cousin used this flower for eyes! Especially since I had just put the other picture up here the other day....so I had to add this one!

Tick-tock-tick-tock

Classes are almost over. I haven't had much time to post lately because I've been so busy finishing all this class stuff.

I have a couple things that I really wanted to talk about, and I wish I had the time to but I am just so busy!

I am writing real quick just to clear my head before bed, since last night I only had 4 freakin hours of sleep. I could not stop thinking of all the stuff going on in my life right now, I just kept thinking and thinking. And to top it all off I had class this AM and had to take one of my finals.

It was definately difficult trying to concentrate. It was this stupid exit test for the course it was just grammer. I was fine at the beginning but toward the end of the test the sentences on the questions got longer and longer, and I'd read the first few words and then forget what I had just read. So I would have to go back and read it over. It was so annoying because I knew it was the lack of sleep, I'm never like that! AHH...I hope I atleast did ok on it. Hopefully it won't make a difference on my grade because I think my grade is pretty good in there.

Right now I'm on my "2nd wind", even though by now it's more like 4th or 5th. Since about 3:00 I have just felt like I was floating. It is so weird when you have a lack of sleep like this, your body just feels crazy. It's kinda like an out-of-body experience (not that I know how that feels, but I would think it kinda feels like this). Every time I blink it's harder and harder to one them up again!

Ok, well I'm really feeling like I'm about fall asleep. I have been talking crazy all night. I kept saying the weirdest words when I was trying to say something else. I can't even think of an example, but I was cracking everyone up! I wouldn't be suprised if this doesn't make any since to me tomorrow. Ok I'm going....

Night

The Killers

I love their song..."Mr. Brightside". That's really not why I'm posting I just didn't know how else to start it.

Next week is the last week of class...I'm so glad! Except for all the stuff I have to study for. I have a Stats test on Mon. My final for Comp I'm taking on Wed. Then I have all these article summaries to finish and turn in Fri. And then we have our Sociology final on Fri. and then the following Mon. is my Stats final. Then I will be done! It'll be nice to have a break for awhile.

I have to get back into my workout routine. I just feel so blah lately! Working out always makes me feel so good, but I just haven't felt like doing anything lately, plus I've been kinda busy!

We have this vacation planned for July, and I would love to kick a couple of the lbs. that I've added before then! I know I can do it, I just have to get back into that routine.

I was playing around with the different settings on here and I really like the way this page looks now! I took that picture the other day in my backyard. It's my favorite flower it's so pretty! It's called the Passion Flower. I love it! I kinda took some of the colors from it and incorporated it with a couple of colors that I wanted this page to be and this is what I got! I think it looks good!

I'm going to be adding some links of different places that I like to visit, soon!

It's been awhile

I haven't really posted anything in awhile. Well, I ended up getting Gwen Stefani's new CD! It's awesome and there is a lot of variation, which is good!

So classes are going to be over before I know it, but now there is so much stuff I have to get done for that happens!

My grandparents are going to be coming down to visit next week. They haven't seen my nephew yet, so that is one of the main reasons they are coming! It was actually a short-notice kinda thing, they want to visit before he gets too big, but since we got news from the courts they decided it would be best to come now! It'll be nice to visit. They were actually here last year in the fall.

Man, if you live in FL you have to check out the hurricane forecasts for this coming season...it's not looking too good. The same weather situations are happening now just like they were last year...and we all know what happened last year...YEAH 4 hurricanes hit FL and 3 came through this area! (not fun...let me tell you!) And if for some reason you think it would be fun, yeah there is a little excitement, but picture sitting around in the dark on your 21st bday with no electricity...exactly...not fun!!

I'm watching Amazing Race right now! I love this show! It is honestly my favorite "reality show". And this season they have Rob & Amber from Survior on it, needless to say if you know anything about "Boston Rob" it's been very ammusing!

Well, that's about it for now. I'm gonna go watch the rest of the show and make sure I have all my class work reviewed before class tomorrow!

--Later!
