How Things are Looking Since Yesterday.

Sorry. I will tell you in advance. I am scatter brained today.
Therefore I best be talking in chronological order. My friends laugh at me, cause apparently when I try to explain something, I talk very slowly (as if the person if 4) and explain everything in great depth and of course chronological order. It's funny because other than while I am explaining things, I am quite unorganized and for the most part, "scatterbrained".
 So I might as well get to the point. So yes, I did lug myself to school this morning for the second day. And yes, it went better than the first. I think I mentioned about my sociology class....Here is the update. I still feel uncomfortable talking to one soul in that classroom. The good news is, it's okay. I am there to learn, not to be intimidated by immature acting upperclassmen. On to lunch. Good news! Lizzy and I found another christian girl we can talk to named Lynzee Hershey. I know her already and we have a lot in common. Now at lunch, I can enjoy myself as well as be a friendly person to the people who don't have anywhere to sit. Thank you Jesus for answering my semi-selfish prayer. The rest of the day went much like the first. I really want to be able to understand math better this year, and excel in the classes I am strong in. (i.e. Sociology, American Literature, Creative Writing, Government) Well, well, well, not much more to share today I suppose. I just have a better feeling about the year now. Good thing.
Gracias Dios <3

First Day of School

Today, sadly, was my first day back to school. Entering your sophomore year is supposed to be enjoyable. That is was I was intending it to be...But you may have guessed by my tone, it did not fit my expectations quite how I was hoping. Don't get me wrong, I love to learn. But the first day of school is not really a great time for that apparently. I was bombarded with syllabus after syllabus, and rules after rules after expectations, and dress codes, and every other "boring" topics teachers can talk about. First period is Health, one of those lame required courses. (Sure, Health is important, but there is a world of knowledge for me to know, other than "Don't do drugs, don't have sex, and eat your fruits and veggies") Second period is my favorite. Sociology. Incredibly interesting subject that seems to come super natural to me. My teacher is also incredible, but please do not get me started on my classmates. Yes, I try my hardest to love everyone, and not judge people, but it seems as though I have been put in a classroom with my polar opposites. Sometimes I feel that way about the entire school though. It's just so frustrating to see people be completely living for the moment, and for themselves. Maybe God is  putting this on my heart for a reason...so I can have endless opportunity to reflect him in our corrupt society. If that's what it is I will be happy to take it, but for now, I am frustrated and a tad confused on how I need to be handling these situations.
     Now lunch is similar to Soc. in regard to reaching out to my peers. I have a lunch with only one of my close friends, Lizzy, and we have made our table in to the table for the table less. After watching the movie "To Save A Life" I will never let anyone sit by themselves ever again. And that is exactly what happened. 4-5 people whom I never knew, where invited to our table. From a worldly perspective, I hate it very much for I was counting on having lunch with my friends, and have time to relax and simply chat, but from God's perspective, the one that actually matters, I believe I am stepping up and taking advantage of what opportunity I have, and for that, I am great full.  The rest of my day was similar. I've got to go now, but I will let ya'll know how this turns out.

My First Post....Huzzah!

Greetings all ye reader of my blog! I don't believe anyone is actually following this quite yet, but soon enough I will figure out how to find people to follow ect. I am still configuring the reasons for my doing, as well as how to use this.        Possibly it is for my self, to keep a record of "Peeks into my Mind" throughout the commotion of life....Possibly it's for reflection time. Just to write out everything I feel...my own hopes, dreams, failures, and messed up notions. I have a feeling I will read these when I'm 40 or something, and realize how silly I sound. But maybe that's the point. Haha. I would chuckle if it is.
        I might as well get started, rather than lulling my 40 year old self to sleep, as well as you...
As for what to write today, I will leave you with a simple poem. Did I mention I love poetry?  I'm sorry if your not a fan of poetry, but I will proceed to bore you with it.

I think I will name it MY HEARTS HOME

This place is where my eyes are dry
this is where my happiness lies
this is where i come for love
its where my heart wants to be

this is where im invited in
there is no room for war, no room for sin
ths land is full of peace and love
and its where my heart wants to be

this place is where i can forget,
all my needs, all my rergret
its full of joy and peace and love
and its where my heart wants to be

here is where i can trust
anything if i must
there is faith and joy and peace and love
its where my heart wants to be

we can look ahead and reach our fate
overcome, its not to late
hope, faith joy peace, love
is where my heart wants to be

Take it for what it is.  I also made it into a song, so excuse the lyrical tone. Thats all for now. :) later gators
