It has been a while since I updated, but there are reasons! To start, I was part of the first ever USSF (United States Social Forum) and helped with the Runway for peace in the youth tent. It was on Saturday the 30th, and it went ok despite our lack of power for music, fans, and lights. We improvised and it went off with only a few other problems.

Also, during this whole thing my dad was hospitalized because he was bleeding internally and when he "went potty" (as my sister, Victoria, would say). He is out now and they said that he'd be ok, but that he can't eat any kind of nut or seed because they were getting caught in some holes that were in his intestines and colon.

Lastly, school is trying to kill me! My women and religion teacher gave us a 10 page paper that was due on the day of the USSF opening march! Needless to say, mine was not up to par... it was only 7 pages and was half-assed. On the plus side I still made a B on it!

So yeah... I'm not dead after all that! I've just been busy and I hope to not be for the rest of the month so that I can spend some time with Ryun before he moves.

XOXOX,
Amanda

I will more than likely not be updating for the next three weeks due to May-mester. Like a smart person I took 4 summer courses and two of them are three week long classes that started today and end with finals on June 5th. One of them is Sexuality and Society... it looks interesting, but there is tons of work to put in to it. We have a five page paper due on Wed. and we just learned about it today! The other class is a one time only class on the U.S.S.F (United States Social Forum) and the teacher said: "I hate grading stuff, so I'm gonna let you tell me what your grade should be." There is lots of talking, field trips, and reading for this class. WISH ME LUCK!!!

Slowly but surely everything is coming together for the wedding. Today we went to see a photographer; we loved her work, but she was so fake! I'm guessing we'll stick with her because she has a good price, and it isn't like we have to deal with her that much anyway. Ryun pointed out something that I hadn't thought of... that just like people who work in the funeral industry people who work in the marriage industry are probably just playing off of people's emotions and stuff, and that she’s being fake because that is what everyone expects from her.

I also found a wonderful pair of shoes that I REALLY want for the wedding, but the only thing is that they only had them in black and white and I need them in gold or cream which would match my dress. The lady at DSW said that I could go online and see if I could find them there in a different color and size because nobody carries a freakin’ size 5 or 5 ½ anymore!

Lastly, I QUIT! Yeah my job was really starting to suck after the new manager wrote me up at least once every single weekend since she started there about four months ago. I gave them a months notice, but they took it as two weeks which really screws them over because they are going to be begging people to work while all the teeny boppers are on spring break the next couple of weeks.

I'm in a GREAT mood today! It may be because I got some OR due to the fact that I had a nice day at work today OR it could be both OR neither. I don't know, but I'm in a really good mood! I've updated with a new dollie; she isn't my best work, but I like her.

I have WAY too much school shit that I should be doing right now, but fuck it! I feel like shit, and I just don't care right now... I'm not at home other wise I'd doll or something, but people here at GSU would most likely give me strange looks to see naked bases and the like. Anyways... my day was alright I guess... Ryun and I came to school early, so he could practice piano for our music teacher, but she didn't show up (her mother passed away). I finished my women's studies paper about ten minutes before class started. Then in Primate Ecology I found out that my Depression talk was today and not on Dec. 5th. I made it, but the talk was mostly on the physical anthropology stuff and practically no cultural. It was somewhat interesting... the parts I could understand anyways...
