what a weekend...

I am so lucky. I've been trying to make it on my own... I want to make it on my own. It's a challenge and well this past week has been very unpredictable in every step I have taken. Ok, I spend most of my time at school. I love school, study study study! It's great when you only have two classes to worry about. Well, lets just say my car broke down - I never dreamed of a cop escort - front seat, Mustang with all the hook ups. That thing had an engine on it and it was standard, OMG I have never had a ride like that one before. With a cop, or even in that type of vehicle ( i was pretty stoked-). So, I got a sweet ride into town.
Before the breakdown occured, I was going to my friends house to pick her up. - she needed a ride to work and I figured I was heading that way to go home neways that I would help her out - on my way up to her room I found a crumpled 100 doller bill!!! Whats the odds of that but I thought about it and well, I know that my friend tends to think she is putting the money in her purse but really isn't. So, me feeling kinda guilty thinking it was hers asked if she's missing money. As much as I hated giving that hundred doller bill it made me feel much better because I was being honest - (she gave me 25 dollars for being honest too). It pays off - what comes around goes around.
The day before this my boyfriends clutch gives out on his car - what luck, but he did find a good deal. To replace a clutch and steering wheel - $850.00 total - not bad.
What a week, I tell ya, at least I live right next to my boss and work the same hours as her - me and her are going to be the best of buddies now! She also has a daughter with the wildest mind for a 9 year old. Her name is Aroura- Sleeping beauty - I don't think i spelled her name correctly but she's awesome. I help her with her homework sometimes and well it's great. Makes me miss my little sister, Jessica, alot.
I'm living out in the country - which I love, I think my parents(family) understand why- and things are just great.

good morning athletes..america...readers...

Yes, this morning a short workout out but tough. Afterwards, I obviously took a shower and well on my way to school i went to McDonalds... not healthy or good but the apple pies are ok, and on my way in there was a pregnant lady standing out side asking for spear change to buy breakfast with. Me, I felt really bad but i remember my dad talking about people like that and how they are sometimes just doing for drugs or dont really even need the money. Just making more than the average person that actually works. So, sadly i told her, "No, I'm sorry. I don't have spear change." While i was inside i thought apple pies are 2 for a doller. So, I bought 4 apple pies. One for me and the other three for her - she said she was hungry. I gave them to her as i walked out and she said " thankyou, thankyou, godbless you." As I got into my car i was watching to see what she would do - she walked straight to the trash can and through them away. I'm glad i didnt give her a 5 doller bill. It's really sad when people like that are out there. It makes it hard to help them when you don't really know if you are being robbed or being a helpful citizen to someone in need. My day has just begone - 10 a.m. - i hope i don't see her up there after my first class. It's amazing what people will do to make money - lower themselves to a homeless status.

oh well, its a choice i guess. We all have a choice in what we do, i just hope its for the better.
