Walking in a Winter Wonderland.

Yes, I have Christmas music stuck in my head. Been singing Christmas music for a couple weeks now. I guess I am a late bloomer. Christmas is done and over with, and I finally get in the spirit.
Another week of school, just finishing up my homework right now. It's about ten minutes to 11 and getting pretty tired. Taking a class that's called "Psychology of Death & Dying" which is very interesting. There's only been a couple classes of it, so I am still trying to figure some facts out. I'll update you, when I learn something factual.
Television. American Idol started tonight. I'll be honest, I started watching it, paused it, and decided to finish homework first. I was skeptical about the new judges, still am, but I am giving them a try. I enjoyed how Simon was honest with the contestants, not because it was funny. Sometimes it was funny, but more because the only way you can learn is by getting honest opinions. If you are told, it was good all the time, you'll never grow as a person, or in this case, an artist.
Television. Teen Mom 2, week 2, I believe. Now that is a good show. I cry every time I watch it. Leah and Corey have the twin baby girls, absolutely adorable. Leah & Corey, by far, the two best parents on this season. I am worried about their one daughter Ali. She's been having problems with her legs and nerves, so the next show, she's going to get an MRI done on her spine to figure out what is wrong. Leah is worried that she'll never walk. That is devastating for a parent to hear, especially for twins and for a teen mom. It's a lot to handle. I give her all my prayers, she and Corey are a blessing.
Bella, my new kitty from the Humane Society is doing wonderful. She is VERY playful. Daily Routine : Sleep, Eat, Bathroom Break and Play. WHAT A GREAT LIFE! I am completely jealous of my cat. Barry made her a cat tree. She loves it, she's sleeping in it right now. Her favorite toy is a string. She'll bring it to us, drop it at our feet and meow until we play with her. She's not much of a cuddler anymore. I guess my baby is growing up. :(
Hope all is merry in the world of the web, talk to you soon.

I Am a Stranger.

Stranger that I am because I forgot my password and could not sign in to my own blog. Lovely. Well, I haven't been on in 8 months due to that fact and it's time for me to start my regular blogging once again. Television shows are finally back on. I tell you, that is the one thing that keeps me sane ... TELEVISION. It's a life you can get caught up in, cry and laugh, but yet you can flip to it on your free time. I watched Survivor, my favorite. I have been disappointed the last few seasons because the people who deserve to win, haven't won. Russell Hantz deserved to win both times!

Okay, now that that is off my chest, on to the next subject. I just adopted a cat. Her name is Bella. She is a brown tabby. My boyfriend and I adopted her at Burnsville Humane Society in Burnsville Minnesota, because they were closing. I had THEE toughest time choosing. I am an animal lover, so I was bawling the whole time. If I could adopt them all, all the animals, I would. So if you want a pet, ADOPT! ADOPT! ADOPT! Bella is very verbal and a huge cuddler. Overall, she is a wonderful little girl.

I just started back up in school. Going for Criminal Justice, if you didn't know that already. My dream job is to become a Police Officer. New exciting task every day, how great is that?! Great! I don't think I am big enough and pushy enough to show that I have control. 110 pounds at most, 5'4, with a big smile on the face. Will that shove a criminal down and intimidate him? I don't think so. I admire the police officers, especially in Bloomington. I took a course there this past September-November and met very great people, most of whom were cops. Been on a couple ride-alongs, learned a ton of great facts, and got to use guns, batons, and handcuffs. It was overall a great experience, loved every minute. If you ever have a chance, spend some quality time with an officer and you'll greatly appreciate what they do.

That is all for now. I am trying to figure out if I should drop a course that I have, so I am a bit stressed out. I am taking 5 classes, which is heavy duty for me. This one teacher expects me to read 6 novels, 3/4 of the textbook, write over 15 long papers and do volunteer? I would love to volunteer and complete this class, but whoa, that is one hell of a list of things to do. Hope all is well. Take care!
