Sitting at home
Hey there, I'm just sitting at my house bored looking at my favorite television show "The Game" and eating chips as I type. I just got done studying for my essay final that I have to write in the morning at eight a.m. I hope we get a chance to use the book during the essay because I forget some important things that may be helpful in writing a great essay. I read and understood the book, but when you are given specific topics its kind of hard to elaborate on. My sister is home with me bored as well. I'm tired of looking at her walk back and forth. We thought about ordering a pizza, a meat lovers pizza from pizza hut sounds delicious. I can probably eat the whole pizza by myself, I'm just that hungry. I don't know what is is but I eat a lot and I never gain any weight, not even a little bit. I wish I could gain like ten more p0unds and then I really will be having it going on! Everybody in my family has some weight on them, all but me. My mom says I will start gaining some pounds after I have my first baby. Anyways, this blogging is making my night go by a little faster. I have three more to write to have twenty-five, but I'ma shoot for that thirty just in case my bloggs didnt meet the criteria. It's always best to have more than less. I don't even know have three hundred words look. I'm guessing this is about the size of a three hundred word blogg, I don't know!

Plans for my Summer
Well I was planning to take a trip on my summer vacation, but it can only be for a weekend because I am taking a pyschology class this summer. I want to go to Wild Adventures in Valdosta, Ga. I've been there before and I loved it. Now I was told that the park has grown a lot since the last time I was there. The park even has a water park at the back of the theme park. There you can enjoy the water rides and the huge pool they have. The rides at the park are so fun. They have all different types of roller costers and a whole lot of other rides as well. Wild Adventures is a nice park to take your family out to or even just you and a significant other. The city of Valdosta is a nice place to be staying in as well. They have lots of hotels or suites you can choose from and they are surrounded by the best restaurants. Valdosta is also known for its shopping plazas and their huge mall. Maybe one day that me and me partner didn't go to the park, we can go out and enjoy Valdostsa's other attractions. We may go to a movie, the musuem, skating, or even bowling while we are there. I very excites about our trip and i hope everything goes as planned. My fiance suppose to coming home in June and as soon as he gets in town we are going to pack up and get ready for a great weekend together. While I'm in Valdosta, I'ma sit back, have fun, and enjoy the sun.
My semester finals and classes
Today I am sitting here wondering how I'm going to do on all my finals. I have three that I have to take. I think my easiest final is going to be in my sociology class. The hardest I know is going to be for my statistics final even though it it an open notes test. In my English class we are going to be tested over a book, which seems like it should be fairly easy. The only worries I have with taking my English final is the topic that we have to write on. I not a big fan of writing in class papers on a topic that was given to me on that same day. I would rather have a multiple choice test but whos decision it that? Not mine. I am so stressed out this morning. I have a regular statistics test at three o'clock and I don't want to take it. Statistics is a very hard course. My major even requires me to take a Business Statistics course so I really have to buckle down. I wish I had all regular math classes because I don't think Statistics is normal. That class makes the student think entirely too hard. I like math classes that just deals with solving equations. Overall, I'm satisfied with my classes that I was required to take this semester. I should still be able to keep my Hope Scholarship. I should end up with all "A's" and I am pushing for a "B" in my Statistics course.

The Greatest Parents
I have the greatest parents in history. All my life I have always been given everything I ever wanted or needed. At the age of sixteen I had a brand new Honda and on my eighteenth birthday I received a brand new Altima. I am so thankful to have my parents, because without them I don't know what I would of done. I currently stay in Warner Robins and I attend school and only work on the weekends. So that just means that I don't have much money. My parents pay my full rent which is seven hundred dollars and my car note which is three hundred and something and not to mention my car insurance. I am truly blessed. My parents also put money in my account for gas and for little shopping that I have to do. Not many times to you find parents who still takes care of their twenty year old child. The weird thing about it is, my parents are even wealthy people. We aren't poor but at the same time, we don't have a lot either. My dad has 14 cars and all of them are very nice, how he does it I don't know but he does it. I love my parents to death. They are always there for me no matter what. When I grow up and get my career started, I promise they'll never have to worry about a thing! Love you mom and dad!
My Job
I am currently working at Office Depot and there I am a customer service specialist. I have been there a year and 7 months and I find my job very easy now. Majority of the times I run the cash register, but I am called out on the floor for different projects that need to be completed at times. At Office Depot it is all about our customers and making sure that we have fanatical customer service. My store manager name is Ted Fulford, he's a tuff boss, but he has ok to deal with on his good days. I have three other managers, they are nothing like the store manager. They are all friendly and great workers. They perform their job well. When checking customers out at the register it's really important things the cashier has to remember to do with every customer. The cashier must greet the customer and ask did they find everything ok. Then the cashier must ask if they have a worklife rewards card and if not, they must explain what it is and the benefits of signing up. After that then the associate must ask did they need any additional items. Office Depot has some of the best employers I have ever known, they are very dedicated to the store and their specific job title. Although I love my job, I do not plan on being there much longer. I'm ready to start my intern with the Robins Air Force Base. So bye bye Office Depot!
In Class Today
I just received my second paper back today that I explained the differences between high school and college. I got an A on it and I am so excited. I worked so hard on this paper and my hard work paid off. I'm hoping that when I get my research paper back that my grade is no lower than a B. I worked hard on that as well. In class today we suppose to be discussing a book we were assigned to read called Nickel and Dimed. It was a good book but it wouldn't be something I would of read for fun. I read it because it was a grade! It was about this woman named Barbara Ehrenreich who took on an assignment that involved working at low minimum-wage jobs for one month at a time to see if she can match her earnings to her expenses. She has three rules that she sets up: first, she cannot rely on skills derived from her education or her work as a writer; second, she must take the highest paying job possible and actually work; and third, she must find the cheapest living conditions for herself. In retrospect, she admits these rules were not always observed. Ehrenreich sets up other parameters as well: she will always have a car, will never go homeless, and will not go hungry. She is financially comfortable and can walk away from her experiment if she wants.

American Dream
The American Dream is filled with fame, success, and wealth. The American dream is the dream of living a great life. It's having a great career going and having all the things an individual has always dreamed of having. The American dream is the key to wealth. You can't reach for something without dreams of having it. This dream consists of having someone to love, with no worries at all. It consists of a lot of hard work and patience.
I attend school at Macon State College hoping to pursue a degree in business. This is a start to my American Dream. By having a college education, I am helping to prepare myself for future success. I work full time at my job, and not to mention, I am a full time student. These activities consist of a lot of hard work. I know if I want to fulfill the American Dream it's going to be a lot harder than it it for me now. At least I am getting use to knowing that nothing in life is free. If you want something, then you have to get out there and get it. I also exercise a lot in my free time. Living in the American dream, is being healthy and not having different illnesses due to lack of nutrients and exercise. It is known that most people who are physically fit, tend to live longer. So keeping yourself healthy while you are young is definitely a part of the American Dream.
