My Life at the Moment

Hey everyone, I'm back! Something going on right now in my life would be, well a lot of things. But the major thing would be that my dad is gone. Yep, that's right folks don't reread that sentence, your not crazy. That guy finally found a job. Unfortunately it wasn't here. The job he found is located in Montana. I'm not gonna tell you the city because that's just plain creepy. Sorry guys but what if one of you is a stalker or something? Anyway, now that he is gone there are a lot of changes st my house. One of them is that we can finally keep it clean! For the longest time I thought that my whole family was messy but right after he left the mess seemed to leave with him. Which is really great because I found that I am secretly a clean freak. Another change is that my mom is taking this time to do whatever she wants that she couldn't do when he was here. Like painting her room the color she has aways wanted it to be. Another thing would be that we are getting a bird. We, my sister, my mom, and I, have always wanted a bird. When my dad was here we never got one because he calls them lizards with wings. Totally rude, but I have to admit just a little bit funny. The bird that we have decided to get is a Cockatoo. His name is Winston and I love him. The thing that I don't like though is that we are going to be alone for at least Thanksgiving and maybe even Christmas. it all depends on when the strike is over, and my dad thinks that it might even be a year to a year and a half but nobody knows for sure. Last thing I'm going to say is that I'm glad that he is gone. That sounds really mean but he was the one that enforced the rules in the family and now it's like they are all gone or at least not as threatening. My mom is really more my friend than anything else, you cam just ask anyone that knows her, its the honest truth. I love her to death and I can tell that she is struggling with my sister who is really "acting out" lately. From now on I am going to try to make her life as easy as I can. It makes me sad to see her stressed. That's all for now, so check back in later! -Steph

Cornell

Okay, so you saw my Life Graph. I already went into detail about my beautiful niece Haylee, but now Ill go into detail about something else. That thing is called Cornell. Or in other words, my future. I have known I wanted to be a vet since I was around the ripe old age of 7. What can I say? It has never been just a childhood dream. I have just always known what I have wanted from a very early age. I have thought of it as a good thing but, some people don't. Whatever I don't care. Anyways back to Cornell. I knew I wanted to be a vet and I also have thought of owning a business. So me being my over achiever self went on line ad looked for the best colleges that offered Veterinary degrees in the United States. I scrolled down the list and looked at beautiful campuses and the classes I would take. The winner was Cornell. The first thing I liked about it was it's high praise from former alumni. The classes looked good and it was a hard school to get into. A challenge, and something my parents would agree with. It didn't hurt that the campus is beautiful, and it is located in NY. That is another thing. I am a lover of books and it just so happens that most of the books I like to read take place in or near NY. Just reading about it made me want to be there. I love the city. Me, I like hustle and bustle and the city sounds so alive. And guess what? Cornell also has a degree available in business. It is also all the way across the United States and the farther away the better. So it is pretty much, my destiny to go there. Now all I have to do is get in!!!
