Little things excite me..

Again, I've realized it's been a while since I've written. I have some AWESOME news.. I PASSED MATH!! I passed with a 'c' (kinda hoping it was higher) but I'm done with math.. FOREVER!! I also made an 'a' in psychology, which has brought my summer school GPA to a 3.0. I have been busting my butt since early June, and my grades are finally starting to reflect it! This semester I am taking the second half of my western civ 2 class, and speech (so it has been a very easy week so far.) I have already mapped out what I am going to be taking when I transfer to University of Houston, and it looks like I am going to be able to graduate December 2013. It is so close I can taste it.

I think I plan too much. Is it normal to already pick out classes that you are wanting to take? I am just so damn excited to take classes that I have an interest in. As I am writing this, I am in bed at 2:20 exhausted out of my mind with a migraine. I tend to push myself till the point where I get a headache that puts me in 'timeout' for a few days. I am excited about doing NOTHING tonight, and plan on jumping full steam ahead tomorrow to to finish a research paper that is due in early August and finish an essay that is due end of July.

On to some more awesome news.. I got into the Houston Marathon! This is my first marathon. 26.2 miles.. damn, that's far. With everything that has happened with my dad this year, I decided to push myself even more and just do it. In order to get in to the Houston marathon or half marathon, your lottery number had to be selected or if you don't get picked then you would have to run with a charity and raise money. I have gotten in all three years (I feel very blessed), but I still continue to run for a charity called CanCare, that I have a personal connection to. CanCare is an organization that helps people that have cancer, and their caregivers or friends get one on one support to help them have the hope to beat cancer. One is generally matched with someone who has had the same type of cancer one is dealing with. I am going to go through training and start volunteering with this organization in October. This is my way of giving back. I feel truly honored and proud to be apart of this organization.

I am still working at the Holocaust Museum, but summers tend to be slow since school is out. I am giving my first tour of the summer on Friday. I really miss doing it. Raising awareness for the Holocaust is another huge passion of mine. For some reason, each time I go out, I always bring up something related to World War II or the Holocaust. My friends think I am very odd for doing it, but it is just something that I find interesting. That is another reason why I am ready to start taking my advanced level history classes, I am eager to learn what other people know about different historical events. I'm sure a bunch of y'all are yawning as you are reading this, remembering y'alls basic history classes y'all had to take, but what can I say.. I am a history nerd and I am damn proud of it!!

So I opened up a window to my mind, until next time...
