Waiting for Confirmation

I am supposed to be headed to Ukraine.. in a week. Yes, a week. However, my financial aid hasn't been cleared by the University. I am completely freaking out. Sometimes this makes me wish that I had wealthy parents that could just toss the money on the counter and that would be that. Now, I am not saying that I am ungrateful. I really am. My parents are really great to me. They pay my car payments, gas and cell phone. So that is a HUGE weight lifted off of my shoulders. I am just paranoid right now. What will I do if the money doesn't come in? Well, simply stated, I will spend my summer at home. My parents keep telling me to trust in God. I am trying. I know that if he wants me to go on this trip then the money will come in. I have some money in the bank. BUT it is not enough to pay for the whole trip. And I have to have the trip payed for by the end of this week. I am so nervous. I should have some donated money coming in soon.. I am just unsure of WHEN it will actually arrive.
Also, update about the water balloon and fountain swim.. well, lo and behold, I have developed a cold. Go figure.


If anyone reads my blog, please remember to pray for my trip and that it will work out. Thanks a lot.
Be Blessed

Water balloon fight!

Today I my dorm had a water balloon fight. In the end I became the target.. I don't know how it happened, we were all on teams and my team won (no thanks to me lol). We were cleaning up when I got pelted with balloons! Afterwards we went and played in the Universities fountain, which is a big No-NO. It was quite exhilarating.... it made me feel daring and exciting. Maybe I should do fun stuff like this more often. :Sighs: I have two finals on Monday and three on Tuesday...

Realizations at the End of the Semester

I realized today that I should have attended math class more. The reason for this sudden realization involves two reasons.. First, my grade is a C and second, it's finals week! Yay! I want to be a teacher, show children the joys of learning. Sadly, math is one subject that I do not enjoy. My Foundations of Early Childhood teacher says that I should approach all subjects with enthusiasm. My pessimistic attitude could ruin a child's love of math forever. And we all know boys are much better at math than girls. It is not a stereotype, it is a fact. Of course, my slightly feminist self burns at the mere mention of a male's superiority in anything. No, I am not a man-hater. I only believe that girls should be allowed to excel.


Also, I have realized that I have a strange addiction to anime. I know, right? It all started when a friend of mine had a picture on her laptop. I, being ignorant of this world of anime, asked if it was sailor moon. (Because in the end, all anime characters look alike, am I right?) She laughed at me! She then explained that it was a show called Fruits basket. So, I looked it up. Watched all 26 episodes and read all the manga up to date- all in one week. Needless to say, I was addicted. Then a friend's boyfriend suggested I watch Bleach. I watched episode one and was immediately hooked. I have now watched all 166 episodes and read all 315 chapters of the manga. I have watched Gakuen Alice, Ouran High School Host Club, and Prince of Tennis ( I'm on episode 133). Honestly, I think I need an intervention! I even read the fan stories on FanFiction.net.

The Good news is, I leave for a study abroad trip to Ukraine, Paris, and Amsterdam on May 7th. I am certain that I will overcome this anime addiction considering I will lack a computer for half a summer, then I will take summer classes all of June and go on a family vacation through July.

So, hopefully after reading this, you will think before you watch anime. Haha

First Blog

I have never written a blog before. I mean, I have journaled..but that's all private. One of those things that you never intend for anyone to read. This is completely different. I guess anyone can read it.. or not... I don't think I really have anything of import to say, so it's probably one of those things most everyone will ignore. And that's fine. I guess when I actually have something to say I will write it down.
