So, my birthday's coming... No thanks, not really into having a party when I come home this weekend. Um, I'll be 21, that's kinda cool... I'm really bored right now...

My room's almost done, just needs carpet and a complete redo this spring or something, it looks really bad because I did all but one wall alone... Yeah...

In that I live in The Dalles now, in the event anyone wants me to come to any sort of get together, God forbid (sarcasm but you don't know my side of this either), I need more than same day notification.

Ok so a month after my laptop gets serviced, the fan dies... NOT GOOD, hello, without that things overheat and I fry just about everything... (Ok so it may not be quite THAT bad but I feel like it...) This is WHY my dad got me the desktop... AND the lid is cracking, in the same place it did the first chassis I had... Only on BOTH sides this time... One month, is it too much to ask of the school to get me something worth our time?! I'm not the only one with problems, I don't think they should sit there and say "too bad it's yours now", they messed up and should fix it... Now I have to call Gateway AGAIN and ask them to fix it AGAIN...

If you don't want to hear it, stop reading here. :)

So I was thinking...

1) They say Karissa was up to her waist in the water... I know she knew better than that, she knew how dangerous it was, further points that make me think she heard God tell her to come home.

2) She went to the beach alone specifically to spend time with God...

3) No autopsy was done so they don't know she drowned for sure. She got swept into the ocean but that doesn't mean she drowned... And, frankly, I don't think she did...

Just a few thoughts, please no one give me {insert type of attitude}, I'm just speculating and writing what I believe was the case... I could be wrong, but, so could the professionals.

Karissa Edwards, a girl who went to Fox, drowned Saturday night. They found her body Sunday morning on the beach, it washed back up. First of all, in all reality, that doesn't happen that often, leastways in the Pacific.

So in talking to people today, I had something come to mind, and while none of you, or few of you, knew her, I did, and I think there's something in this...

As of now I have changed my major to Psyc and I'll graduate on time and then hopefully do the MAT which is one more year... If I hadn't changed I would have ended up doing work for my Bachelor's in the year I'll now be going for the MAT, so I come out of it with 2 degrees and not just one... :)

I talked to my new advisor and we got it all worked out, it doesn't seem too hard for me to be able to catch up... Which is nice. :)

YAY for people who know what they're doing!!

Dropped Chem 'cos the prof wasn't helping me at all so that's nice.

For Jrs. Abroad (my possible dream trip to Europe) the GPA min. is 2.0, I have a 1.91, I think I can do it. And the trip's only $1400, $300 by Jan 14, half of the rest due March 1st and the other half April 1st. (Help, pray, something?!)

My room at the new house is almost done, just need to do ragging off on the last layer of paint, wait for that to dry and put in the carpet, build my desk, and move my stuff in... Also need to build shelves and paint ones I already have. Need to turn closet doors into changing screen instead of closet doors, not hard.

Changing my major to Psychology and a possible minor in Computer Science and then getting my Master's in Teaching so I can teach... Roughly same amount of time I'm looking at finish anyway but this way I have at least 2 degrees for roughly the same price...

Family Math Night on Monday, need to get my stuff ready for that... Professional Preview Day Tuesday where I go job shadow, basically, a teacher all day long... Wednesday I have a meeting for Jrs. Abroad...

God is freaking awesome!! Kerry CONCEDED!!!! CONCEDED!!!!! He said, "I lost...". God rocks.
