It’s nice to know people read my blog Especially because they are some of my very best friends. This is the shout out to all of you who do find your way into my writing and STILL read, even when you’ve realized it is my writing. Snaps to you because that’s pretty much exactly what a ‘writer’ wants to hear.

So my life has taken a few surprising twists lately so I’ll give a quick update and then move on to worldly issues. So I now wear AGD letters and I am proud to call 30+ new girls my sisters! (Alicia, you are the best by far though) But I love these girls, especially my personal SAS ones, aka the FPC ‘07. I feel like they are truly some of my best friends here at Gannon. The whole experience has been both fun and challenging and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Tomorrow is my last day at Cathedral Prep High School. I’ll miss those boys. The experience is one I don’t think I’ll ever forget. I didn’t get what I thought I would out of it, but I learned a lot. I learned what not to do and what work Subs have to do just to keep the class moving. Interacting with the faculty and students was my favorite part of the day and I guess that’s why I want to become a teacher. Isn’t it nice how everything just worked out?

And those surprising turns I mentioned earlier? They are a little too personal to mention here, but I will say that I am staying single for a while. For a loong while. If I don’t have my whole heart, how can I give it to anyone else?

Eh, life goes on I guess. For now, I just keep writing and living and waiting for finals to be over. I need a change of atmosphere now more than ever.

And now……some impersonal stuff.

Does it bother you that America seems so out of touch with reality politically? Oh, you know, the almost now cliched
‘That doesn’t relate to my life!’ Well, it does. I find myself becoming to upset about how some people around me just don’t seem to care at all. When the subject does get brought up, it’s almost shut down before it begins. And I know that I am somewhat guilty of this. I do not know as much as I should know, but I do realize the benefit in knowing what goes on in this country. Did you know that during World War II the Germans dropped missiles that were shaped like balls and kids would touch them and get their arms blown off? Yeah think that’s bad? What if I told you America is doing the same thing right now to kids in Afghanistan? Wait…not exactly the same. We drop yellow balls. That just makes me sick. I haven’t checked my sources and I’ll admit I heard this from a professor just yesterday, but I think he knows what he’s talking about. Issues like this just blow my mind. How does our government get away with crimes like that? Why do we let them?
