Okay so I consider today my offical first day of classes considering I only had one class yesturday. I think I’m going to like my classes. Mythology will be a lot of fun! The proffessor was energetic and I can tell he will help make the class interesting. My Geology class won’t be too bad. I found out that Julie, who used to work at DQ with me, is in the same class so I at least have someone to talk to. My Public speaking class is what worries me. I went to the class and ended up walking in a little late. The teacher seemed very stern, not really strict but she made her points very clear. Also I need a video camera for the class so I have no idea if I’ll have to drop it or not. We’ll see. The last class I have in the morning is alright. It will be reading and analyzing texts. I want to get better at analyzing because of my current dream to be an editor for books.

So I currently need to find someone to hang out with when my best friend is more or less occuppied with her current crush/ guy she is dating. Not too sure what they are now. I get extremely bored when I don’t have her around to hang out with though. And now with classes going on I feel like I won’t be able to hang out with her as much as I’d like. I know, a bit pathetic on my part. I’m working on it. Really. I promise to try and fix all these problems I have. Maybe blogging with be a big help.

I can’t wait till Saturday to text this other guy. I know that if I want to text the guy I should just go ahead and text him. My problem is that I haven’t talked to this guy much in the past two years. Last Saturday I probably talked to him way more than I had in the last two years as well. I want to talk to him again but don’t want to basically ‘jump him’ with texting him a bunch so recently. I’m trying to slowly ease into texting him often. I want to get up the courage to ask him out. I’m not sure if that will work. I think he just considers me a friend. I think that’s how a lot of people consider me. Just a friend. Oh well, friends are always good I guess. 

Well I’m going to head back to my apartment. (I swear, once I get my bills taken care of with my next pay check and know that I can afford it I will call and get internet there. That will really help with gas issues and school.) I’m going to try and post here more. I promise. It will be a new year’s resolution. Bye.

I have decided that next semester will be so much better than this one. Basically I have no time to eat, at all. I only have a few minutes between classes and it takes me around twenty minutes to go somewhere I can get food. Taking that into account, I need around 5 minutes to eat and then twenty minutes to get back to school. So that is around 45 minutes, time I don’t have.

So I can’t wait till school is over now so I can go and eat something. I’m hungry at the moment so that is what is inspiring this blog. I don’t think it will be too long but that’s okay because it is rather pointless.

But I’m done ranting at the moment. I’ll get food when I go to the Kegs for work tonight. Did I mention that I work there? It’s awesome.

Okay so here it is! I’ve finally posted my first entry here. Excitement. Today in my ISP class we were on the topic of blindness so I thought I might as well put a blog up on it because I could frankly talk about it a lot.

For starters I have grown up around my grandma who has been blind since she was eighteen years old. To my family and I this isn’t a big deal. Only when people make me think about blindness as a handicapp do I start to think about my grandma having difficulties. Of course she has problems every now and then. She can’t drive herself places, she has to rely on others to get around. She hasn’t seen her daughter’s or her grandchildren’s faces. But when I think about these different issues I know that it could be a lot worse. We get along just fine. My grandmother gets along just fine. She was the one to teach me how to play guitar and piano. She is active in the community and has won many awards for her teachings.

So in class today we were asked the question if we would marry someone with a disability. Here is my view. To me it really depends on how the person deals with their disability. There is no way I would marry them if they were just depressed about it the entire time. You have to accept who you are and you have to accept your disabilities. But if someone were to be disabled and they were fine with it and they got on with their life with their disability then I would marry them. (of course I need to get to know them first and find out if we have anything in common before I agreed to such a thing.)

But that’s all I really have for this entry. I know it’s not the greatest for a first one but this means that I will start writing more and putting them up here. So that’s some good news!
