Hello Bloggers, I know I haven't blogged in a while and I said the next time that I would I'd post a story. Well, I'd have to retype and format 10 pages so it will take some time. Well my life has changed a lot since the last post. I recently got a job and it's going really well. I had a fantastic Thanksgiving with my family and it made me very thankful for all of the positive people I have in my life. Anyways in less important but still relevant news, my ex broke up with me and I went through a tough time. Good thing I had my family to help talk me through it and give me some really great advice. Life goes on. I think that's very true now. I also had God and I knew I had to pull myself up and get over it. Back to life and relationships, I've met a guy named Edward and he's great. I know I wasn't single for long when I officially began a relationship with this guy. However, we had the best conversation over the phone and we stayed up really late just talking, like 9 am. We have a lot to talk about and we enjoy each other's company which is the foundation for any relationship. So we decided to become official and it's been going really great. Anyways, Christmas is around the holiday corner and I'm hoping to see some sign of snow or even snow itself. I know the spirit of Christmas began before Halloween but now it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas just like in the song. So anyways, Happy belated Thanksgiving and I'll be back to blog again. Until then, I'll leave you all with this saying "if you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side."
Recently, I've been looking at other people's blogs to help me see what fellow bloggers look for in a blog page. I've noticed that most of them are people who sell items that they have made. Some even share there drawings, photographs, and poems with others. Even though my blog doesn't have all of those creative aspects, my blog has something that most others blogs don't: stories about my life. Now I'm not saying that people should flock to my blog to read about my life but everyone likes to know that someone out there visits their site. I'm not the kind of person who follows a lot of blogs and tells others to follow mine but it seems like this is the best kind of advertisement for this site. It's difficult for me to blog because there is only so much I have to blog about or would reveal to the public. I have thought about sharing some of my stories and poems with others on the site. I can even say I've thought about posting some of my songs I wrote a while ago. The problem with this is that I'm my biggest critic and I happen to think I'm not very creative. I can't draw or write or design things which is fine with me because it's not what I choose to do. Although, I would like to be able to sew and create these unique items that I wish I'd see in stores. Sadly, I'm not a homemaker which is what the sterotypical image of women use to be. I can't cook or sew but I can clean rather well when I take the time to. The only thing I've sewn right are those little dot to dot pictures my elementary class would connect with string on the holidays. I can't cook from scratch but I can follow detailed instructions for cooking meals. Anyways, the point of this blog is make others aware that I know I don't have much to look at on my blog. I know that people out there would much rather read about fictional stories than real life experiences when it comes to blogs. Unless someone lives a really exciting life, others really don't want to read about the daily activities of a regular person. For the sake of my blog, I will try something different and see if that gets the attention of others. I will post a story that I had to write for an English class. If people like the semi-creative side instead of the regular opinionated side, then I will post more creative things in the future. The story will be on the next post I make. I hope this will let me know what I can offer to the blogging community. Thanks for your time.
Hello Bloggers! I haven't posted in a while but I've returned to update those who visit my blog. I just finished my second year of college and I'm waiting for my grades. I don't have much to worry about because I know that I passed my classes and will be receiving my Associates Degree document soon! I'm excited that I get a break from books for a while. I'm also somewhat sad that the experience is over because I've gotten use to the whole college environment. After much thought, I've decided to apply to other colleges to make an attempt a Bachelor's Degree in the Fall of 2010. 2010 seems far away but 3 months isn't enough time to get my paper work in order so it's obvious that I should wait. In the meantime, I'm just going to play the 'Waiting Game' until I get my transcripts which is in about a week. After I receive my paperwork, I'm going to start the transfer process and try to get a job. Even though I don't want to work right now, I think a job will give me something to do until August of 2010. I'm probably going to apply for a job at a couple of places near my house. I want to cut down the commute as much as possible since I'll only be part-time. I also had my braces removed from my teeth after wearing them for 2 and a half years. I'm not totally excited about it because I have retainer to clean for the next 2 years. Anyways, I'm a little tired from pushing myself to get things completed on time so I'm not looking forward to cleaning. I'm going to end this blog with a quote by my favorite president, Theodore Roosevelt: "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
Yes, school is in session early for me and hopefully it will be over soon. I have too much studying for too many tests. My birthday is next Monday :) and I have been studying for the past 3 days. :( My instructor has planned a test over 5 chapters even though I've only had 3 classes. I can't complain because that's the way college works. Even though that seems to be the saying, I still can't wait until I get some me time. Don't get me wrong, I like learning and I really like my major, Forensic Science for those that don't know, but I don't like the year round class sessions where I attend college. Every assignment is pushed together and I always have an information overload. Anyways, one of my friends had a slight operation recently. I bring this up because I want to wish her a speedy recovery and for her to know that she is in my prayers. Also, I know that there are people out there going through tougher times than me. I just pray to the Lord up above that things work out for the best. I know that everything happens for a reason so I have to let it happen. Other than helping my family move, I get my braces off my teeth in couple of weeks! Yes, for those that don't know, I have braces and I can't wait to get my retainer. Not that it really matters, but I figured I would blog tonight since I didn't on the Fourth of July. Well I have to get up early tomorrow and study some more so I'll end this blog with the saying "The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese." If you don't understand that saying, it means that the bird who sees the worm first gets it but the mouse who sees the cheese first gets caught in a mouse trap.
I've finished up with my classes and I get to relax for a couple of weeks before I have to get back to school work. My final grades haven't been posted yet so I have to play the waiting game. Even though I don't like suspense, I'm sure I'll be distracted enough until I receive my grades. Anyways, I don't have many plans for my "summer" break. On June 18th, I'm suppose to accompany my aunt and uncle to visit one of their friends. I haven't met him before so I'm kind of nervous about going with my family. Since I'm not good at making conversation with strangers, there is a good chance that I'll be quiet during the visit. It's not that I'm a shy person but I don't have anything to say when I'm around people I don't know or don't know well enough. I'm not sure if you have heard of the term "awkward turtle" but it can be applied to how I feel around certain people. Awkward turtle is when a silent moment occurs in a conversation or when something random or "out of the blue" happens. When either one of these things happen, a person places one hand on top of another and moves the thumbs back and forth which represents a turtle. The person doing this will say the word "awkward" slowly and loud enough for others to hear. I use the word "suppose" because these are possible plans and as you all know, most plans aren't certain. No one knows what tomorrow will bring so it's some what of a challenge to plan things in advance especially when it's more than a week in advance. My summer break ends before others who are in college so I'll have less time to make plans without worrying about my schedule. I still have an orthodontist visit and my birthday to look forward to but I'll be attending classes in July. This year will be the first year that I'll have class on my birthday. Yes, I'll be sitting in a room listening to a lecture while I could be out doing something with more birthday fun. Anyways, I can't really complain about it because it's not the first time I've had to do something I don't want on my birthday. Anyways, I have nothing left to blog about so I'll end this blog with the short song lyric "school's out for summer!" Which in my case, is a very short summer so the same level of excitement doesn't really apply to me.
I haven't been blogging recently so I figured I would post something today. I have been busy the past month with school so most of my free time has been taken up. It will be one whole month, in counting, until I get a break from school studies. Even though I can't wait until I get my "summer vacation", I'm more excited about getting through June and into July. It just so happens that my favorite holiday, 4th of July, and my birthday are in the same month! I don't do much for the 4th of July because I live in Georgia, one of those anti year-round firework states, and I can't seem to find a firework store or location that I would want to spend money at. Last year, I went to see the fireworks with my family and we had a good view from where we were sitting. The bad part was the wait for the actual show. I had to sit on the hot concrete for hours and listen to no name bands or recorded music I don't like. I was stuck in one location the entire time because I didn't want to lose my spot and it was too crowded to go anywhere. Leaving the firework site was a beast because of the people and car traffic. We had to walk down the street to the parking lot and then we had to find our way to the car. There was bumper to bumper traffic for about an hour and a half. I knew no one was able to go anywhere when I saw people get out of their cars to stretch. Anyways, my birthday is another reason that I want July to hurry up and get here. I'll be 21 this year and no I'll not be out drinking at a bar or night club. I don't want to be 21 to be able to drink but I want to be 21 because I'm tired of being 20. I just like the feeling of knowing that I made it another year and that I'll be that much closer to the next year. It's kind of like my personal New Year's Eve/Day which is usually only celebrated by people born on the same day as me. Anyways, I don't have anything else to blog about right now but I'll be back when I have more to type. This time, I'll end this blog with a phrase from a song that is sung by Daniel Bedingfield and is titled "Gotta Get Through This". "I gotta get through this, I gotta get through this. I gotta make it, gonna make it, gonna make it through. Said I'm gonna get through this. I gotta get through this.... God, God gotta help me get through this."
I'm just blogging tonight because I haven't blogged in a while. Other than class, I haven't had much happening in my life. I've got a normal routine, the old 9 to 5, and I don't look forward to it. I've gotten use to getting up at a certain time and getting home at a certain time. I'm use to waking up early and it keeps me from sleeping in late on the weekends. On top of going to class, I've been dreaming about class and all of the work I have to do. I wake up at night thinking I've got homework I need to get done in a couple of hours. There have been some days when I forget to eat when I'm hungry because I'm so consumed by work. My eyes start to hurt because I've got to work on typing assignments on my computer most of the time I'm home. I know that this won't always be the case when it comes to school but I also know that I'll have little time for me until this phase is over. During my free time, which is more like mini work breaks, I watch television and I relax until my bones and brain stop hurting. The only positive thing being over worked has given me is that I look forward to sleep now more than ever. Right when I get home from class, the highlight of my day is laying down and going to bed. I'm so exhausted that I don't even think I realize how run down I am. I don't have the time to analyze most things unless I'm multitasking something else with my school work. Anyways, it's getting late and I think you get my point by now. I'll end this blog with "all work and no play makes Teri a very blah girl."
