Getting an Apartment

Ok I am getting ready to get my own apartment and get away from my parents but I have been thinking about it and I am kind of nervous about it. I mean my parents have always been there for me and helped me when I did needed them the most.I know that when I get on my own they will be there if I need help but it will be different. They won't be around everyday, I won't have the comfort of knowing that my dad is in the next room at night if I need him. I am kind of nervous about whether things are going to change around the family.We have always had like certain traditions and ways of doing things and I wonder if that will all change. I am excited to be on my own don't get me wrong, I have been waiting for this for a long time but I am now realizing how much I have depended on my family so i know that it is time to move on and grow up a bit. I am ready now all I have to do is make sure I can pay for all my new bills.

Prank Calls

Have you ever had a prank call? I hate them. I work at Dominos and for some reason people think that they are so much better than we are because we work in pizza. Well I got a prank call today and it just made me so mad I don't really know what to say.I could probably get in trouble because I told them to grow up and stop being childish and then I hung up on them.If they wanted they could call the main office and probably get me fired for well being rude and then I am the manager on top of that, it would be just great but you know what I really just don't care.My day wasn't that great and people have a way of just catching you at the wrong time and then being stupid.I suppose I got a little bit more upset than I should have but I ca't change it now.I just really hate prank calls, they really get n my nerves.

A movie

I went to the movie's Sunday night for the first time in like forever and I saw the new National Treasure movie. I actually really liked it.It started off kind of slow at first but it began to get really good toward the middle.Basically it was a lot like the first one with a little bit of a twist. Instead of them just trying to find treasure Ben Gates is trying to find evidence that his great, great grandfather was inoccent in the assasination of President Lincoln.They ended up having to break into the white house and kidnap the president and some other crazy stuff along with that.There is one thing in the movie that I was not expecting, someone dies. That is all I am saying becasue if you haven't seen it I really don't want to ruin it for you.I enjoyed it but maybe that is just because I am kind of a nerd so you go and see it and decide for yourself.

Growing up

I have always been a "leave me alone, I can do everything myself" kind of person.I don't like asking for help at all. My parents don't pay any of my bills or for me to go to th doctor or anything. I work hard for what I have and yes there are times when I come up a little short with money and then it is still hard to ask for help. I pay for college,my phone, my car, my insurance, and soon my apartment and it is hard but it teaches you responsibility and a bonus is you get the freedom and satisfaction that you did it and no one helped you.It is not easy at all, sleep is a foreign language and t is hard to get all my work done on time because it is mostly due all at the same time.All I can say is that I can't wait to be done with school even though it is a good experience.When you start doing all of this by yourself you do realize that it was easier to just live with your parents because you can bum off of them for a while but after you can't do that. It is hard to grow up but in the longrun it is also very rewarding.

Abotrion!! NO!

Ok many people in the world think that it is ok to have an abortion but truthfully you are inly commiting a murder.People also say that under certain circumstances it is ok like if a girl is raped or something along those lines, or if she is not finantially capable of taking care of it.Well I am here to say that either way it is still murder and you will one day be punished for it.It is wrong to kill something that hasn't even been in the world yet.If you are raped I understand you don't want it but there is always the option of giving the child up for adoption.There are people all over the world that can't have children of their own and if you don't want the child someoe else will.Another thing if you can'ttake of one because you don't have the money then you don't need to be doing things to get yourself in that situation in the first palce sucks as young teenage girls who get pregnant at like 14 or 16 or something.They still live with their parents and more then likely they will be kicked out and teenage guys if they find out their girl is pregnant most of the time they will run so what do you have left except nothing but you and they baby on the way.That still isn' a reason for abprtion there are things you can do and places you can go for help and then give the child up to someone better suited for the job.Abortion is never the answer.

storm's

I have always liked when it rains or even storms,however there are a few ocassions when I don't so much, such as last night.It started off and i enjoyed it all cuddle up watching movies with the curtains opened.Then it started getting really bad and my power went out.That was not fun at all. I have never been in a tornado or even seen one up close but I thought last night that there was a first for everything. I didn't know what I would do if there was one.I was actually at my boyfriends when it all started and then I had to drive home in it and I live like an hour away so yeah I was a little nervous.I was sqeezing the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white.All the roads were so flooded so I had to drive extrememly slow but that was ok.When I got to the road by my house there was a spot that I didn't see that was floded and I had speed up a little bit because I thought that it was past but boy was I wrong.I went over it way to fast and about lost control of my car.I think that scared me the most out of the entire night but then I got home and everything was ok again.

Just the Start.

I have written my paper but this is just a peek.
As one of many people who love to drink water the topic of water pollution and the ongoing lawsuit between Tennessee and Mississippi has made me curious so I decided to research it.In most parts of the world the water is filthy and contaminated.Many people get sick and even die because of it.I have just recently learned that the water in Memphis is the cleanest in the rest of the world due to our great sanitizing systems.About 300,000 people get their water from public water sytems while 500,000 people ge their water from their own private system.Most of Tennessee rely's on ground water today.
Recently there has been a lawsuit placed on Tennessee by the state of Mississippi saying that we have been using some of their aquifer's and in turn their water. They want resource damages on the order of billions of dollars.
Getting back to the pending water issue, Tennessee law states that all public water resources must be tested for contamination and be signed off regularly, however if you have your own private water system you are not required to get it tested but you must have hired someone to build the system and he or she must have a license and permit to work on that well.Many things can cause contamination things that Tennessee must look at to keep up our clean water.Chemical contamination is not usual but it can happen if we aren't careful with what we do.Our water supply is threatened everyday by our clumsy habbits and storms and other things that can affect it and Tennessee and all over the world for that matter must take precautions.

American Idol

Have you ever thought about auditioning? Well there are a few things you should know before you go and stand there forever. From experience it is a long very bad thing to go through if you don't know what to look forward to.When you get there the first day you should try to be the first one in line if at all possible.You get a wristband and a seat ticket and then told to come back the next day for the audition.The next day you don't have to get there early because you will already have a seat reserved for you.It is a long process and you should bring something to snack on because when I went the food was nasty and the lines were extremely long.There were a number of tables on the floor and at each there were two judges.You audition in front of them and if they like you then you get through to the next set of judges.You may think that Paula, Simon, and Randy are the only judges you get to see but in fact they don't see everyone.If you are good there isn't a definite possibility that you will get through because they have to make a show of some people.Don't give up an be prepared otherwise it will be one of the worst experiences you have ever had.

Today

Today was a crazy day.I got up at 6 as usual to make it to class by 8 (I live in Atoka so it takes me a little bit to get to the O of M).I was running a little late plus almost running out of gas did not help.After my first class I went to my boyfriends house to try and get a little bit of rest before I had to be back for my next class but I ended up not sleeping at all but instead stressing over what i needed to get done for school and work.My last class of the day was Economics, which I am not good in at all, we had a quiz and I was completely lost about everything.Not only did I have a quiz I had to take but my cell phone just kept ringing and ringing.The general manager at my store was calling to tell me that he had scheduled me to be at work and that i was late.That made things worse because he knows what my school schedule is and its like they don't even care.I have so much to get done before this weekend becasue i have calculated I will be getting a total of 5 hours of sleep and that doesn't leave time for much homework.I have to close at work friday and the store doesn't close till 1 and we have to clean and do paperwork so I won't get home until 4 Saturday morning then I have to get back up at six and drive down to Mississippi until six that evening for my training and then close that night.Sunday I will het a little bit of sleep but I am the late worker so I am going to miss the Super Bowl which I am also not very happy about at all.

WOAH!!

I decided last semester that I was going to change my major and as a result decided that if I did that I would take more hours this semester so I could catch back up.Well I am here to say that was a bad idea.Not only am I taking 16 hours but I am also Working basically full time as an assistant manager at Dominos. It is extremely hard to work just about everyday and go to school plus have time to study, do homework,and still make time for friends and family.I don't evn know what sleep is anymore because there aren't enough hours in the day.I can honestly say that I have piled way to much stuff on my self this semester and it is harder than I thought.I had people tell me that but I guess I thought I could handle it but boy was I wrong.I am not however going to admitt that to my mom who was the main one telling me that it was too much.I am just going to tough it out and maybe sleep this summer.I really want this to work for me because I can't drop any classes or I will go down to part time and lose my scholorship and man would that stink.I will admitt it is going to be a tough semester but I think I i will make it.

Water in the world.

Have you ever wondered how clean the water is that you are drinking?Of course you have that's why you buy bottled water.Well I just recently learned that Memphis has the cleanest water in the world which isn't saying all that much because our water doesn't look so good. If you think about all the other countries around the world that don't have clean water, there are many people that are getting diseases and eventually dying.Water is very important in the world. It is a part of our survival.You can't live without water at least for not very long.I think we should clean up our water so that it is safer for everyone.Another important thing is that animals drink the water that we drink and if they get sick then we eat them then we get sick as well. We should learn to keep our water sources as clean as possible. If we start now the maybe we will be better off sooner than we think.

Suicide...why do it?

In the world around us we face many obstacles each day, whether its getting a job, raising a child on your own, or anything.Some people find it difficult to deal with and they do things without thinking about the consequences.What would you do if you were under that kind of pressure? How would your life change? Well lets see committing suicide is no option for me.It isn't worth the hassle.Lets just stop and think about some of they consequences of suicide shall we.Just think if you are going through something unbearable for you that you think you can't handle and you do end up doing the best thing you know to do, how do you think that will effect the people aroud you in your life?Well your problems won't go away after you are gone they will end up being put onto someone else's shoulder's and it is more than likely going to be a family member that now because of you gets to go through exactly what you did. Not only that but if you have children and you do that then you kids get to grow up without a parent and when someone ask's what happen they get to tell them that you committed suicide.There is no way that that would be the smart thing to do because it would do nothing but cause pain to loved ones.Just think about that and if you cut yourself or anything like that because you think it will ease your pain because more than likely it will just add on to your hurting. From experience I have had friends tha have thought killing themselves was the best option for them.Actually this past june a good friend of mine thought it would be best bt all it has done it hurt so many people.Family, friends, everyone.It is hard going by his house or even the highschool we graduated from. Thigs change when you make rash decisions so make the right one's.

Manifesto

Manifesto is a public declaration of ones intentions, whether good or bad. Manifesto is extremely powerful in that it gets people's points across about who they are and what they want to do.In the world today this word is used all over the place, whether its someone trying to get into office or even in schools or on the job.I think it is good to get other's ideas and views on how they would do something or even somethings that they would like done and expand on that.Take into consideration what fellow Americans want from life and the US and see what you can do and then share your plans with them.This is a great way to be elected into office for sure but I also think it is a good thing to practice in everyday like whether just an average joe or a highclass buisness man.Write down somethings you are interested in doing and acheiving and let other employees know.They will learn to respect you more and it is also a way they can get to know you better if you are usually a somewhat quiet person otherwise.Unfortunately in today's society this isn't practiced among average people only by those higher up politically, but if you think about it politics is mainly were manifesto comes in, at least when it comes the United States and its people. For example, when we go to elect presidents we look to make sure they have our best interests in hand and if they are willing to be how we want them to be. When they get up to make their speaches they look at that.They tell us what they plan to do as president and a lot of times they tell us what we want to hear.I think it is a good thing to get up there and tel people what you would like to do for them but its not always easy to tell what people want because there are so many diverse people in the world that its hard to meet everyone's needs.Thats why you should reach out into the community and to those around you to get to know them personally and to see what they go through. The struggles they face everyday and try to make it better for them or at least as much as possible. This I think applies to not only political men and women but also to common men and women.Reach out around you make a difference. Like I said Manifesto is a powerful word with a powerful meaning but in order for that meaning to do anything you have to be willing to get to know your countries people and how they live and think and base you ideas and intentions on that.They will be more likely to respect you so much more after that.And you will also be able to make a bigger difference in the worls around you if you just take the time to listen.
