week one is over

It is all over… or so I thought. Oh nooooo we begin again!!!!!!!!!
This first week of school was a complete drag, but on the same note it was fun and interesting, confusing huh, I know. You know how sometimes you just have mixed feelings and emotions about things; this is one of those times. I think it is just because this is a new time period in my life and it is exciting. Wakening up on my own, washing my own clothes (but I did that while I was at home since like age twelve), not getting rushed out the shower, and especially the number one is not betting hollered at by my mother. That was a plus. But on the other hand having to wear flip- flops in the shower, just using a community shower in general is in itself disgusting, not having your friends around that you know care about you and are not putting on a front to become your friend so in the end they can stab you in the back, sharing your room with all your belongings with someone you do not even know, it was different if you had to share a room at home with a sibling, because when they got on your nerves you could beat they but if you felt like it, but down here you have to be civilized and handle things like an adult.
But classes on the other hand that was very different in my perspective. Going to class is more on your own time, because in high school we had a lot of class time to work on our assignments, but here we have lots more work but in all actuality I like this better, because I have more time to work on my work. Because in high school we had every class every day, and here your class might be once a week ore twice a week or even three, but you rarely have it back to back like in high school so you have time to do your work between days. It is a little harder, because you do not have your mother on your case telling you to come in the house and finish your home- work or study for your test; she is not there to quiz you for your big test that is coming up. You are on your own for real for real, because you make your own grade, if you do your work your grades will be up to par if you do not then you will see your consequences.
This class makes me think of my boy friend from back home, because he is always telling me do not use Gods name in vain, and its Sunday I can not do this I can not do that, and you better be going to church on Sunday. He is the first on to call me and talk to me about what church was about. He longed to get a tattoo so he finally went for his seventeenth birthday he got a tattoo on his arm and it is a cross with two preying hands over it with a ribbon across the bottom that says John 3:16 ‘for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life.’ This passage is his favorite bible verse, he says it means a lot to him. But when I ask him why he says it just does? What that is all about I have no idea, because if something means so much to me I am the type of person that will like to share with everyone so they can see where I am coming from and maybe I can make it mean something to them also. But all in all he is a very good person he TRIES to be God like, a Christian little boy, but he still has some work to do no I take that back a lot of work. I believe that God loves everyone for who they are, because he made them that way. Everyone is different; the world would be boring if everyone was the same and everyone had the same tendencies.
When I first started this I thought two thousand words oh my goodness how am I ever going to pull two thousand words out of like five questions. Because it is real hard for me to express what I am thinking on paper, because my thought run threw my head faster then I can type so all that I was thinking does not get typed down and that is going to be really irritating with this, because I am pressured to have a certain amount of words and if I can not right down everything that I am thinking that is going to be trouble. I realized that if I did not think about it that if I just wrote what was on my mind that was pertaining to the question, and pay close attention when my mind would venture off, try to stay on topic but be very descriptive that this could actually work. Another thing that I can do to help me with this process is to spell out everything and do not use contractions make them two words instead of being lazy and merging words. I think that this is going to be an interesting experience, because it will make me a better writer. My defamation of a good righter is one who uses description and makes you see in your head what you are reading, because that is what I am going to have to do.
