Here is a video to make you smile.

don't vote

Okay. I'm not a big fan of celebrity endorsement/instruction/etc., but its not who is saying what here that matters as much as WHAT they are saying.



If you care about who is running your local or state school board - you know, the ones who decide what your kids will get to learn - you should vote.

If you care about your civil rights. Your children's civil rights. Strangers' rights in another country. you should vote.

You may feel your vote doesn't matter. You may think who you choose to vote for as the next President doesn't matter, in your state.

But there is more on your ballot than choosing the next leader of our country. There are almost always city, county, and state issues/positions up for vote on the very same ballot.

V.O.T.E.

This freedom you have. This safety and comfort you have. Your children have. Don't take it for granted.

deja vu

seriously?

back to school

For some reason, every time school starts up again for me, I instantly have this playing in my head. :)





School started up again, today. I think my general feeling of today was relief. I know this semester is going to be tough and I will have TONS of reading, but I am ready. Bring it! I had a good long break and now its time to get back to business. That degree isn't going to get into my hands by camping, working, and other summer fun-ness that has been had. Its time to work!

I only had a couple of my classes today and so far so good. I am super excited for U.S. history. I will be learning so much and loving the discussions of politics, I'm sure!

I got a peak at the new vet tech freshman. (at least the ones that are in the 2 year program) These are the girls that I will be graduating with, along with my other fellow classmates from last year. I feel pretty hopeful and optimistic that this crew of people have integrity and kindness.... more than last year's class I hope.

I am not here to make friends, but it would sure be nice to do so. Not that last year's class was ever mean to me.... I stayed out of the petty/catty bullshit, therefore not making enemies. But it was harder to want to be friends outside of school with so many of these girls when they chose to make fun of and gossip about others. Not the people I want to hang with. Discussing feelings with your friends about/towards someone else is MUCH different than pointless and hateful comments... at least in my book. And let me say, yes, I did make some friends last year. It was just slim pickins' is all I'm trying to say. :)

Anyway, I have a good vibe so far about how this year will go and my trust and hope in anticipation of this year has been steady and strong all summer. Lets hope this class is a fine bunch of chicks (and one guy).

And yes, I take a lunch box to school.... it's just not as cool as Billy's. :)
