I'M BACK!!!

Well I'm back with the writing. It has been a really long time since I have posted. I am just really bad at posting. Sorry Aiden and Arika for taking so long. Well since I last posted, I have come home. It is nice being home. Most of the time I feel like I am doing house work. Ever since coming home though, I have been asked to babysit at least once every week it seems like. That's fine with me because I love kids.
Well I am kinda sorta torn between two guys right now. I have my ex who I still care about (aka Lover boy), and a guy who got off his mission last December. His name is Travis. I had gone to a young single adult dance lat month, and we danced. He is very nice and funny. I want to know him more.
I officially hate the wind, yet again. It blows my hair around and makes it very difficult for me to even see where I am going. It needs to go away. I desperately miss my sisters!!!!!!
Hopefully I will be posting up here more often.

Oh so many changes...

Ok, so I knew when this year started that everything was going to change. I tried to embrace it as much as I could, but it's only recently that I realized just how much everything can change. 

First and foremost: I'm a BLONDE!! 

Ok, not completely. I just got a whole heck of a lot of blonde highlights that makes my hair appear more like a 'sandy' blonde now than a straight brunette. I love it! (Even though the pic doesn't do exact justice to the color, haha)

Second: something really big happened, and it was big enough that I actually had an anxiety attack over it. The best part? I didn't even do anything wrong. But it came completely out of left field, and while I enjoyed the experience, afterwards, I freaked at how quickly the change had happened. And then it was back to life as normal--as if nothing had even happened! It was nutty. Now that I've had time to look back on the experience, I've come to the conclusion that, yes, it happened, but I need to know if it's going to happen again, or if it was just a one time thing to get it out of my system. I don't really care either way, (ok, I would like for it to happen again, but if it doesn't, well, eh) but I just need to know. 

I know this year is going to host so many more changes, but I don't want to be surprised again. I probably will be, because that's life, but still, if it could come with at least some warning, I'd be much happier. 

Until next time!

Criminal Justice

Okay guys, I'm just going to come out and say it.  I don't think anyone is actually reading this blog.  Don't get me wrong, that is perfectly okay.  Actually, it's kind of nice because I don't really have to worry about creepers.  Not to mention, this blog is a nice way for Arika, Jassy, and I to keep in touch.

So . . . here we go.  This is my life as of yet.

I am majoring in English, and was minoring in Criminology.  Since then, I've decided to minor in Sociology with clusters (half minors) in Creative Writing and Psychology.  May I just say "I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!"

My mom (hi mom!) really doesn't want me to do anything in a field where I would have to hold a gun since it would be dangerous.  I have not rushed into this decision.  This is something I have felt strongly about for a while, and now feel like things are actually coming together.

I am applying to work on the University Security and Safety department which would give me a good name on my resume and maybe open up doors to future work.

I am also taking a Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) course right now and it is so much fun.  During the summer, I am planing on taking the class to train to be a RAD instructor.  It will be great fun and awesome because while I teach it up here at school I get paid for it and when I go home, I can set up my own class.

You guys, the past month has been crazy.  It has been stressful and full of saddness.  I know I have a lot to do in order to be 'normal' again.  But I'm working on it.  I will beat this.  I will be the best person I can be.

Have a great weekend.  Be kind to one another.

Aiden
