When I Was Younger

When I was younger I always wanted to be a teacher. My friend and I would set up our stuffed animals and babydolls on her bed, and bring out her dinner trays for our desk and play school! We would go as far as to make sweet tea or coke and drink out of straws. For some reason we thought teachers always drank one of the two. She had one of those chairs that could fold out into a couch that we would use as a barrier around our desk so the "students" would not come behind it. We would also line up our fake students and take them outside for "play time", then we would take our well needed teacher break...such a hard day. They would also get nap time somewhere in there. Each "student" had a name, and if they were acting up they would get in trouble..how weird I know! We even had an over head that we would take turns on either doing math or english..or whatever. We would play school literally every day, no doubt about it. I don't exactly want to be a teacher now, but I want to do something along those lines. I have too much practice in the field to stray too far!

Way Too Grown Up

All my life I have heard "Responsibility is a GOOD thing! You'll appreciate it when you get older." I have been responsible...or had responsibilities for a very long time. My mom loves to talk about how she has made us (me and my sisters) into such responsible young ladies..I like to think she forced us to become what we are today. I have worked since I was able to, and pay for majority of things that I get. I bought my first car when I was 17 and I have almost paid it all off!! And I work constantly...it kills me!! I say all this because work has been pure hell the past few days, and I want to quit!! I feel like responsibilities are part of growing up, but I am only 18 and I feel like an old woman with no life!! It will all get better soon..I hope!! I appreciate all the responsibilities I have because I don't take much for granted, but I just want some free time!!

I hate Facebook

I lied forreal in that heading. But honestly, Facebook sucks the life out of people. I enjoy Facebook for it's actually purposes..to stay in touch with old friends and classmates, and to look at my friends pictures. But it  always goes way beyond just checking out your friends prom pictures and telling them you miss them on their wall. Have you ever been on Facebook for hours and wind up on a random person's page that you have no idea who they even are, and the sad part is you have no idea how you ended up on their page? It's called Facebook stalking, and everyone is guilty..even me. And it is absolutely pathetic! Facebook has taken over my life at times, as well as my mothers..like you wouldn't believe! She will talk to me about people and it is so obvious she has been stalking! She says, "It just popped up!!!" Like mini feed directs her to all the drama automatically. Don't get me wrong, Facebook is fun..it's a lot of fun. But I really need to take a break..it's just been depressing me lately! So I am going to try to detach myself from Facebook for a while..we will see how long this last!!!

Good Ole' Gump Town

Montgomery has been my hometown for my entire life. When I was young, I lived in the most fantastic neighborhood. The street was just chock full of kids to play with. I went to Flowers Elementary on Ann Street, and would walk to and from school with neighborhood friends and my sisters. Once it was time for me to move onto middle school, I was fortunate to attend Baldwin Arts and Academics Magnet Program, which is downtown on South McDonough St. After school, all the kids waiting for their rids would walk to this small, family owned deli called Scott's Street Deli. And let me tell you they have the most fantastic salads in the world! But anyways, I say all that to get you to where I began to appreciate my love for downtown Montgomery. Downtown Montgomery hands down is absolutely beautiful and loaded with fun things to do. For starters, the churches downtown are absolutely GORGEOUS! If you have never seen the First Methodist, First Baptist, or the St. John's Episcopal downtown, you need to go. I know there are much more outrageous and beautiful churches in say Italy, but this is in our own backyard! Another thing I love about downtown is the amphitheater in front of the Alabama River. That whole section just is so beautiful, and has places where you can walk on a bridge and look over the river. Very good place for a date ;) Not to mention Lek's Railroad Thai which is right around the corner!! Absolutely delicious. Beyond just the beauty of downtown, there are also places such as Zasa's, Biscuits games, The Renaissance, and the Alley Bar where people can hang out and have a good time. I have lived here forever, and sometimes it's boring, but Montgomery does have things out there to do! It's not so bad.

About This Writing Thing

I sat down last night after waking up early for class to begin..then a long day at work..and an even longer night of homework and drama to read the online "blog" or whatever about writing. The first thing that came to my mind was, "Man, I wish it were still summer!!" I do not even want to begin thinking about writing, or for that matter anything dealing with school. But as I began to read through it, I came across a lot of points that gave me a little easier feeling about the thought of all the writing assignments I have ahead of me. I really enjoyed the myths presented at the beginning of the paper..my favorite one being them giving me permission to use I. I absolutely love that because whoever said that you weren't allowed to use I in your own paper was CRAZY! The boxes where she broke apart the different types of papers I will be expected to write was the absolute most helpful part! That is the thing I have the most trouble with..the beginning of the paper..the thesis. I hate making thesis statements!! It sucked staying up til 11:30 to read the paper..but I definitely will go back to it when the time is right ;)
