Well..what a hellacious week already. I am sun burnt beyond anyone's worst nightmare. I have math work and history work that is practically a foreign language to me and lastly, this paper is heavy on my mind. My current complaints could make the longest novel look short.
BUT, you know what? Instead of being a debby downer, I am going to tell you about all of the things that are making me HAPPY.
I FINALLY got to take my Florida trip with my best friends and we had a fun time. My abbolute favorite thing was that I finally got hermit crabs!! I have always had them growing up. When my last two died, I was not able to just take a trip to Florida and get more. So, I finally got two and named them Hermy and Old Gregg. Adding on to this happy situation, my love child cat, Tucker, loves and is fascinated by them.
By the way, have I told you how much I love my momma?? She is really the greatest thing that has ever existed. I wish you, Ms. Lindberg, could meet her. I have decided that, like my mother, you have a caring heart. Plus, my momma loves to read so I believe you guys could have some great discussions.
Though I am ready for this week and semester to be over, I am so thankful and happy that a few really great people have been brought into my life. Though they may never know, some of my fellow students and some teachers have really made my life better. It feels good to know that somewhat strangers can care about you, even a little. It warms my heart.

Animals
Today's class really..disturbed me. I believe I was already emotional, and the video and comments pushed my emotions further for some reason. Animal cruelty is an issue that is near to my heart. I am and always have been an animal lover. Though, I do not expect all people to be this way, it is difficult for me to see why they would not be. Animals are so innocent and loving. They feel pain. They know love and have personalities. They breathe and have a thought process. Who could you not want to love and care for them? Protect them?
Between my two houses, we have seven dogs and my cat, Tucker. Each of my pets are babies to me. I love each of them in a special way. Something that stood out to me was the part of the video where the main character said that he would save the life of the lady over his dog. She was a stranger, and was baffled by him saying this. A morbid conversation, but one that I can relate to. I see my Tucker as my child. I love him so much that words can not express. (Yes, like I told in a previous blog, I really am the crazy cat lady.) There is no doubt in my mind that I would choose Tucker's life over a strangers any day. Is this crazy? I myself wonder.
The second things that I think really bothered me was that a few of the guys were laughing during the what I suppose they would call "overly dramatic" scenes. I can not comprehend what would be funny. Again, I do not expect everyone to share my opinion, but to laugh as such a sad situation is disrespectful.
My over all reasoning for being irritated is because I care so much and to see something hurting and to see it not taken seriously..bothers me severely. To see a dreadful situation turned good, and people laughing.. just pisses me off. I believe these feelings have a lot to do with how many animals I have and how many friends I do not have.

yet another disapointingly bland blog
Spring break this year was very typical for me. I was at home for the majority of the week. I did take a trip to Atlanta with my family to the Bodies exhibit. It was fairly interesting, too expensive in my opinion. The most interesting section was the fetal section. It displayed the different stages of the growing fetus. The second most interesting thing was that, obviously, everything was real. The idea of donating my body to science fascinates me.
The exhibit is located in the middle of Atlantic Station, which is such a nice area. I recommend taking a visit! We walked around and had lunch at a delicious pizza place. My favorite part of the day though was that I got my new favorite ring at a little jewelry stand. They had an immense selection and like a greedy child, I wanted them all.
On a more thrilling note, it is very likely that I will be taking a beach trip with my very best friend, Ella, next weekend. It will be my first trip with no parental supervision so I am even more excited. We will drive to Panama City Beach and bask in the sun for about two days. I hope everything works out in our favor and we can go through with our plans. I do believe I shall be devastated otherwise.
