Life.

Okay, so blogging has been a bit on the back burner of my chaotic life lately.... Here are some updates.

1. Brent is officially registered for classes for the fall semester at HACC. He is very excited, he picked the classes himself and is waiting for the status of his pell grant.

2. I officially got news back from McDaniel college that I have 23,000 dollars in a scholarship from them for this coming school year, another 2500 in government grants, 4500 in the stafford loan(subsidized), with an additional 5,000 to pull(unsubsidized) if i absolutely need to. And.... that is very exciting seeing as my school is 32,000 a year... this makes the load more light.

3. I will be registering for classes in like 2 weeks, which is when my session opens up. Also very exciting.

4. I have officially paid for CNA (certified nursing assistant) training through HACC this july, where after the course I will be able to make at least $12 an hour, even more if i work through an agency. Its a 2 week course that I want to take so that I can spend less time working making the same money I would if i worked full time making minimum wage.

5. Brent and I are very excited to go home. We have the moving truck booked for June 2nd, so we expect to be home sometime early on the 4th.... the apartment search is still slowly trudging on.

6. I officially am I in the last month of my semester.... With all A's and B. I say B because I have a stupid B in Biology because my professor bites the big one. Not that I don't take accountability for my B but he really sucks, none of the material he lectures is on the test and what's on the test is the stuff he skipped over. He's impossible. I started out with a class of like 35, and now have like 15 left because all the kids dropped the class due to the fact they were FAILING, not like D failing but like in the 20's. So I have settled for my B compared to what other people have.

7. I have discovered that I love the French language. I could eat, drink, sleep French. Its my first class but I just love it. If all goes well I would like to minor in French, with my Bio-PreMed major. There is just something about the language that makes me want to learn it more.

8. Today something awesome happened!!!! I was walking outside of my apartment complex and I saw this cat with a collar on just roaming around and i was like OMG i have to catch this cat so it doesn't get hurt. I could see it was obviously domesticated my its demeanor and it had a 2009 rabies tag so I knew it was safe.... I took it upstairs (against brent's will i must add)... he wasn't opposed to it, he just thought i was being a bit ridiculous catching stray animals. Turns out it had a phone number on it's tag of a woman, who shortly called me back and was so grateful that we had safely caught her kitty. She was out searching for him for an hour, and was so relieved. He had got out through there patio by mistake. I was very relieved.... to me letting domesticated animals out there and not trying to help is like letting babies roam the streets and not helping. They are domesticated and could not fend for themselves, they could just as easily roam out into the road as could a baby.

---- On the last note, we all know how crazy I am about animal rights and vaccination. This is a lesson to everybody who doesn't have there animal vaccinated, at least with rabies and an up-to-date tag. I knew when I first stopped that animal it was safe due to the fact it had a new tag, without the tag even if it had a collar, most wouldn't get near it. Add to the fact, if your aminal gets out my mistake and bites anyone and they called the SPCA which they probably would... your animal would be euthanized due to your neglect to get a tag. They only way to "officially" diagnose rabies is a thorough examination of the brain, which happens after they are killed to make sure that the person has not been infected that was bit. So even if you go to claim your animal, you could not pick it up without proof of vaccine, if you aren't already to late.

I could "preach" (ironic word) about animal rights all day because THEY CAN'T. Its heinous to me how some people can get animals without the means to support them.... same with kids. They aren't just cute cuddle buddies... there babies!! Lets say your dog gets hit by a car, and you can't afford the surgery, so you "spare them the misery and pain" and euthanize them. Thats such a load. The day you can euthanize humans based on your personal opinon about there pain, is the day you should be able to euthanize animals.


And thats all folks... :)
Sorry for the longevity of my post.
leah.
