Maycomb aka my small town....

Hi!

Well, I started re-reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" (if I said I read "The Old Man and The Sea" sorry. It was okay, not my favourite, but good) and the small town reminds me a lot of my small town. There are strange people like Boo Radley.

There was a guy named Victor who rode his bike around town and was fed by the town. He lived in a shack, didn't have running water, but had cable. How he could afford those things, I never knew. When he died, the neighbors of each of his house inherited whatever part was on their side. They, of course, tore it down.

There have been other strange men. Some, lived in their cars, other lived in trailers. Sadly, I know who they are and even friends with their relatives.

But anyway, living in a small town has its advantages and disadvantages  Some are the same thing: knowing the person. Sometimes, there's some things you don't want to know about them.


Sometimes, you are the target of people's wrath or harassment  but overall, I am not bug too much, since you know, people know my parents :)

There is some but not a lot of racism. People like to joke about the Middle Eastern who own the gas station near me but besides that, it's not like the South back in the 60's.


What else? Work was everlasting crazy yesterday! My co-worker, he cannot come in today because of the snow, so I work a late shift. The latest I worked since before I left school.

I cannot believe school starts in 8 days! At first, I thought break was slow but as it gets closer to school, it feels like it's going really fast.

One of the things I look forward to the MOST is not being bugged so much by my parents. Age is just a number in my house; they do drive me crazy though. When I am here, I am expected to fold and put the wash away, but when I am gone, they take the wash from the basket!

Anyway, I am off to take the dog in the cold (he loves snow) and read "To Kill a Mockingbird" till work.

Okay, bye!

Faith.

Winter Winds....

Hi!

I hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas! I def did!

I worked from Saturday till Christmas Day, which was CRAZY!

Crazy customers, things constantly breaking, good craziness! Then finally, we drove down to Lancaster City!

We went to Stephen's parents house where I saw my favourite cousin in law once removed. Karl; he's an awesome guy. He loves the LORD, is funny, and REALLY smart. He's in grad school for music and is looking into getting his doctorate.

You might think, I am boy crazy. I have to admit, I do like men but I am not a flirt. Here is a difference with Karl and I: he want things logically planned out whereas I am up for adventures. I am basically saying I don't want to miss out if there is someone out there. But with Karl, I would stop being soo boy obsessed.

Whether Karl and I end up together is totally up to him. I refuse to get into his way of getting his doctorate. Dad says people can be married while in grad school but Karl wants to go back for his doctorate in 2014 and I will have just graduated from school.

So, the logical plan would have to go bye bye. I don't want to be married now and I am not upset that I won't be married right after college.

However, I am really hoping Karl will see what I see and maybe consider to talk to me to more besides months at a time facebook posts and family get togethers.

But guys are oblivious to EVERYTHING! You can something right in front of them and they totally miss it!

I kind of think of our friendship as with Larry and Megan from Numb3rs. We kind of sort of have that same type of relationship. I kind of like it too.

Besides a wonderful Christmas, I now miss the townhouse. I miss the Independence I have there. People never bug me where I am. It's nice.

I go back on the 7th. My four classes are going to kick my butt. However, with no TV, only one day class, I will devote my time to studying as much as possible. And reading the whole Harry Potter series to see if it's good or not.

Anyway,  I finished "The Great Gatsby" (I had read it before but need to read it for Great American Novels) and am almost done with "Old Man and the Sea" then I am off to read "To Kill A Mockingbird" (read it before)

"Old Man" is good but not my type of book. It is well written.

Okay, bye! I am off to read before bed!

Faith.

Beginning to the end....

hey!

I cannot believe I am almost done my first term!

In Math, I have an A- Final Grade!
In Constitutional Law, before the final, I have an A- average
In Foundations of Law, before the final, I have an B-Average
In Natural Disasters, before the final and presentation, I have an C- average (didn't do too well in the mid term) but I have an 100% on my first presentation and a 84% for my research paper :)


It's been a crazy term. From not making friends to making friends to being called a whore and donkey and other things to loud neighbors + getting my hair straightened + laughing really hard + having mental breakdowns +to having bad grades and bad days + having good grades and good (sometimes great!) days= a roller coaster term!

I did meet a boy, but it did not go anywhere. Sadly, that's the case with me, but it's okay, I have an amazing life ahead of me and if it doesn't involve a guy, God still has great plans for me!!!!!!!!

Anyway, some room/housemate drama here and there, but it's all good now.

I should go back to studying!

Faith.
