Well, I am really failing at this whole blog everyday goal. I am trying to beat myself up over it but I find I am not doing too good at easing up on being so harsh on myself.
So...I will blog a long one to make up for the not-written ones.....
First,
Here is the first review of my first book completed for the summer...29 books left to go....any suggestions??
Headlong, by: Kathe Koja
This book was extremely interesting. Although it seems to be written in a youthful style that I feel myself growing out of, it was a great book on the changes a girl goes through when truly finding herself. I found it odd that the main character is so young to be making these vast personality and life changes, seeing that she is only said to be in the 10th grade. However, I also understand that many changes are made during that sophomore year. I love the central idea of this novel and I feel it shows true, dynamic emotion. It is written in a way that is intriguing, emotional, and gripping. I think this book is good for all high school ages.
OK, so that was a pretty mediocre review, but I don't have much in me for this first one. They will get better I'm sure.
And, about today and yesterday. I did not blog yesterday due to extreme pain in my stomach and lack of sleep. I took meds after I was home from nannying and was asleep by like ten thirty, though, in the bed much earlier. I love my nanny job but I NEED something else too. I am not broke by any means right now but I do need another job so I can afford to survive after the news I received a week or so ago. It sucks, its hard, its unfair, she's my mother, this shouldn't be happening, but, its life. I have to suck it up, quite playing the pity card and grow up. Yes, my life has been pretty rough all along, but I can't honestly expect it to get any easier. No, I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but, I am simply being realistic.
But, anyways.....
So, today was a pretty ok day.
I got called babe again...FINALLY =)
I miss him soo much!! And Dad called to inform me that Uncle Steve and Aunt Renai want me to just up and leave and come stay in Colorado for a while! What?! I wish Dad knew the whole story so he could see why I really can't afford to just up and go do all that I want to do. I swear, I have so many opportunities to visit soo many places this summer, but I dont have the money to take the time off from the job search and nannying and just go. I would love to go see everyone, crash on couches (lol), and truly experience my summer, but that's just not happening. I do hope I get to go camping and some other small adventures this summer. Those would be nice =) I am so ready to do all I have never done before. Well, maybe not ALL lol but a lot of what I have not done before. I am intrigued by this new life and this new me, but also frightened. Too many unknowns!!
Please pray that I will find a good job with benefits SOON. I know things are in God's time, but I am not holding faith that well right now. I can quote scripture and I know all the things to say and believe, but I am having such a hard time right now. I am trying to remain positive, because I truly believe my negativity is holding me back , but it is so hard.
Goodnight

ReplyDeletesophomore year was probably my biggest year of emotional change. i made my biggest mistakes and started taking my christian walk seriously.
you're going to have to tell dad eventually. especially when it comes time to get a new phone service and you need him to sign for you.
