happy and change

i cannot stop thinking about how quickly everything changes. it just surprises me how you can wake up one day and your entire world is turned upside down....

school is going well i suppose you could say. my classes are alright and fairly interesting, well minus English, but i need it to graduate so i need to take it. i am really enjoying my women's history class, thank goodness. i am writing my capstone in that class. it is women in European history and my paper is focusing on either the rubble women or women in WWII and what they did in the navy, army, aviation, nursing during the war for the UK. i am leaning towards the UK one just because there is so much more information. i need to decide by Wednesday. my roman history class is blah but the reading is not too bad and i only need to do a book report and a film report so no in depth research and then i am in drawing, which is not bad, although i did find out i have no artistic ability what-so-ever.

i am trying to get a job..i tried to get one on campus but everything is work study. i also looked into some day care places and some stores around town. but nothing. so now i am applying for a lifeguard job at the ymca in town...but it isn't good pay at all, but hey money is money i suppose...

i have officially started looking for jobs come graduation. i have looked into citty yearr again and have talked to some people from P Mu that have done it in NYC and in Louisiana and i have decided it is basically what i want to do, minus the fact that you make legit no money. and i am still looking into a teaching program that i want to do as well as looking into being a nanny either in the US or London... so we will see what i decide on.

other than that, not too much to write about. i have a mind that won't stop wondering and daydreaming, but i suppose that it is a good sign cause for a while i wasn't and was just not happy. but i am now...well, most days :)

i also cannot believe it is September 17 right now, the days seem to fly by lately. i am not excited for October though, something bad always happens on//around my birthday and i know if i can handle bad things again..so i am hoping that maybe my luck will change soon? <3

I know a few people who did/are doing City Year... some of them say aside from getting paid close to nothing, you are required to work wayyy more than you sign up for.

you should look into americorps too!

glad to hear that you are happy most days :)

second on the americorps comment. that's what i did (yikes! two years ago now!). i had a fantastic experience (although you don't make tons of money either, but health/dental benefits + like $5000 to pay back *most* loans or towards grad school).

i hope things keep looking up for you!
