I feel strange, this year I don’t have a sibling graduating. I’m not graduating either, but one of my friends from school will be and I’m sure she will be looking for graduation invitations. A Collage graduation is a little different when you go to a community or business collage, most people don’t go all out for invitations they keep it simple and only have a few guest. I know thats what I did when I got my associate degree, my bachelors I may send out something for and maybe have a small get together.

Anyway I recommended to my friend Vista print. As I love using them, they are very fast and the product is good. I’ll find out tomorrow if she used them or not. Thats when I’ll see her. I love vista print because every time I use them I get a great product at a good price. With the graduation invitations you can get 10 for $7.99. For her that would work out great I think she only needs about 8 or 9. I would need more then 10, but thats still a great deal. I’m kinda worried about next year, it will be very strange to not have this girl there and of course the fact that I’m going to be done next year too. It went by fast, even with the half year or so I took off.

Tomorrow at school there is an expo where some projects will be shown to people who may hire someone. Unfortunately I have not had many projects since I started back so my only hope to be shown in the expo is to get our project done today and get it looking really good.

The problem comes with the rest of my group, well not all of them the other girl is worried about it to. I don’t blame the other two for not wanting to do anything, they are freshman and still have 4 years before they have to worry about finding a job. They will have many more projects to do that may look better anyway. While the other girl and I are graduating next year I believe and both will have to be out looking for work. She wants this done well and it will be, but I work amazing under pressure and it will look good and be done tonight.

After being out of school and looking for work for a year I know how hard it is to find a job, the architecture world that the guys will be in may not be as bad, I don’t know. I do know that the interior design profession is very competitive and hard to get a decent job in. Lets put it this way, before I started school I worked at walmart with 4 women who had gone to school for interior design. I knew before I started school this would be hard.

We will see what happens I guess. I leave here around 11 for the 2 hour drive and I won’t be back until 11pm or later. I’m starting to get tired of driving this drive and I love to drive. Oh well.

I have decided that it’s going to be cheaper for me to move out and closer to school then it will be to drive down there 3-4 days a week. So now I am trying to save money to do so. Right now my plan is to make enough with my swat cash earnings to have the deposit to rent a house. I will use my other earnings for rent and electric and all of that. I should only need around $450 for the down payment by august and I think I can do it.

The best thing about swat cash is that I can set my payment amount for 400 and I won’t get paid until I reach that amount. I will have 2 months to do it in as I have to use the almost $200 I made last month for other bills this month. I’m excited about moving and at least this time I have everything I need, I just need money for bills and so on. I have furniture and dishes and all that good stuff.

I just think it’s time for a change again. It’s only for a year until I’m done with school, then I’m off somewhere else. I’m not sure where yet, really it’s wherever I can find work.

Many of you reading this may have seen the story about the 14 year old boy who is being charged with terrorism. If you haven’t you can read about the story Good Morning America did by clicking here.

What I don’t understand is why this child after so long still has not received counseling? This child could still come out of this okay and be a good member of society. Trust me when I tell you all, bullying in school can have some very negative effects on a person later in life. They may not always turn out to be criminals but it does effect their daily lives.

I’m a great example of that. When I was young I moved a lot. I moved from Michigan to Colorado and back to Michigan again. In third grade I started at yet another new school, I had been to 5 by then and had no problem fitting into those, but this one was different. I was one of two families that lived in an low income all black neighborhood, but I went to a mostly rich white school. I talked different because I had a very slight accent from Colorado, I was overweight and in 3rd grade starting to lose my hair. I got picked on, I was told I was worthless, I would die alone, no one would ever love me and I was constantly told I was fat and ugly. Most of this was by one group of girls and went on for 2 years.

Today those taunts still are with me. They effect everything I do, even if I don’t realize it. There are times I still think, they are right I will die alone or yes, I am fat and ugly. The thing is except for a few issues with my mom a few years ago and one friend I have not heard that from anyone since. I get looks from guys because of my weight, but that I can deal with, at least for a while.

Bullying does so much to a child that I can see why he snapped. Should he be punished yes, but not as an adult, he is still too young to know the consequences of his actions, most 18 year olds still can’t get a good grip on that! The first thing that anyone should have done is to get him counseling, but no people are idiots and don’t care about this child and what he needs. They just want to pretend they are over in Iraq fighting terrorist! This is what I have to say to them, this kid is not a terrorist, he didn’t do anything! If he had, then maybe you could say that, but it was caught early enough that the possibility of it happening was cut off. You don’t know if he would have gone though with it and now you can help him so it doesn’t happen again, oh wait sorry you didn’t and now he’s been though more. Great Job Idiots!

What do you think, should he have gotten counseling or should he get tried as an adult and go into an adult penitentiary with a bunch of adult criminals who could influance him to go the wrong way?

I watched the race off and on yesterday it was interesting and I loved the fact that my driver Brian Vickers made it all the way to second. It doesn’t happen much. Of course that is not where he finished, but it’s okay. Denny Hamlin won and thats cool so I’m not upset about the winner, actually I like the top 4. They all did well and it was a good race.

I couldn’t seem to get into the race though. I guess I had to much on my mind. Money mostly but I also didn’t feel right yesterday. I guess it was just a strange day. I’m still not feeling my best but I don’t have time to be sick. I’m trying to take it easy today because I start classes again tomorrow and I can’t miss them. Financial aid does not believe in people getting sick. I understand why it just sucks for those they do get sick the first few weeks.
