Lastly, I would like to say, Count your blessings. Everything that is given to you in life is a blessing, even if it is disguised. You can either be cynical or grateful. I'm learning that you need to just be grateful.

Why can't I get a degree in Random??

It's set in stone now. I know where I'm going to live, who I'm going to live with, when and how I am getting there, the classes I'm taking, and I have a slight idea what I'm taking up with me.

But........

I just made a list of things I want to learn and do! And I want to learn and do them right now!

  • screen printing
  • leather work
  • welding
  • crochet
  • embroidery
  • wood work
  • origami
  • sowing clothes and other miscellaneous items
  • making clutches and wallets
  • designing shoes
  • creating hats and hair accessories
  • making a drum
  • making a hammock
  • know how to sing some hymns in Spanish
  • quilting
  • paint a couple of pictures
  • make earrings and necklaces
  • longboard

And the list just goes on and on. I am going to be one busy little girl for the next 15 days.....

Why Hello Again

My favorite artist at the moment is Brett Dennen- I would highly recommend listening to his songs. I would like to take this time and share a favorite song of mine with you (compliments go to Michelle since I stole this favorite song from her):

This world this world keeps turning, turning around
This world keeps turning me upside down
I can't do nothing to slow it down
This world keeps turning and turning around
Everything you have today. Soon could be gone away

Yesterday I had no sorrow. Here today and gone tomorrow
This world this world keeps turning, turning around
This world keeps turning me upside down
I can't do nothing to slow it down
This world it keeps turning, turning around
People can be so cruel.
They'll cheat you and treat you like a fool
They'll drag your dreams through the dust. 'Till you don't know who to trust
I don't know who to trust
The more I learn
The less I know
Got so far to go. Got so far to go
This world this world keeps turning and turning around

This world keeps turning me upside down
I can't do nothing to slow it down
This world it keeps turning, turning around
