Back On Track

Hey!!! So things are much better now. And I should be writing again because of it. I was having a hard time, and did not really feel like I could blog without getting too into things. But I am doing great now. I am genuinely happy again. Let's see, I guess there are a few things that I should update you on. I got my hair cut and dyed this past week and a half. It looks hot and sexy!!! I love it!!! :) I have also decided that I am going to go back to school in January. I will be moving back to Winton and living with my Grandma Friesen more than likely. She will not charge me rent so that will take a load off. Also, my mom said that she will continue to pay my cell phone bill and my car insurance if I am still in school, so that will also help a lot. I have an appointment to meet with a counselor at Merced College on the 21st to talk about everything and figure out what needs to be done to get to where I want to be. I really really really want to go to APU. I do not know how realistic that is though for me. It depends on the financial aid and everything that I can get. If not, I want to go to a UC. UCSD, UCLA, UC Riverside, UCSB, or maybe even UC Merced if I decide I want to stay close to home. They would be more financially an option for me because I would not have to pay tuition or any fees(Because my step mom qualifies as a disabled veteran). So, obviously, I am looking into the UCs also. My real wish is for APU though, because of the people and the environment. I miss being around a group of people that have the same morals and beliefs as me. It is kind of emotionally draining. And I don't want to put myself into another environment where I don't have a good support system. I realize that in the real word I am going to have to be around people that I don't like or agree with, but wouldn't it be a much more enjoyable and almost easier college experience if I am around people who have the same #1 priority as me, who have mostly the same beliefs and morals. I also remember staying at the APU campus when my youth group was on our way down to Mexico. It was just a really awesome place with a great atmosphere. Anyways, I am heading down to the farm this evening with Grandpa. We are going to stop and get dinner at Red Robin on our way so that will be yummy. The girls and I are going to have a web cam date with Drewbie either tonight or tomorrow or Tuesday....just sometime while I am still down there. Tomorrow afternoon I am going to lunch at my Grandma Diane's and Grandpa Ernie's house. They are going to grill something and my Grandma is promising some sort of potato dish. Should be fantastic!! She also wants to show me some videos of my Uncle Brian and my dad when they were little. that will be interesting! I also want to talk to Aunt Rhonda some about school and see what she thinks since she is really good at that stuff. She will probably have some good suggestions about what I will need to do. Hmm I broke 1000 hours at school last week, I was pretty excited about that. Less than 600 hours to go!!!! Woo, I should be done the beginning-middle of November. I am more than thrilled about that. It cannot come any sooner, haha. So so so so ready to be done! Alright, that's it for now. :)
