I believe I have already told you but I will be attending Texas Tech in the fall to study engineering. I have a few concerns:
1. As of right now I have no room mate. I have a room, I'm almost all prepared to move in, but I don't know if the person I'm going to be living with is crazy or not. I'm in a specific hall that has the learning community Women of Science and Engineering so there are a few things that could happen. She could be an ultra weird engineering girl, the kid of person I strive not to be. She could be ultra girly and get her hair and nails done twice a week and bring an entire suitcase of makeup, I don't know about y'all but that would be a nightmare for me. She could be a slacker, explaining why she hasn't signed up for housing. She could be super strange and I won't know for a while and I might not have time to do anything about it. Also I could end up without a room mate and have my room and board raised by 25%. Do you see my dilemma here people. So calling all freshmen girls going to Texas Tech in the fall, I need a normal sane room mate!!!!
2. I do well away from home, I do not do well with stress. Outwardly I can handle it but my body starts flipping out. This year I took a very challenging class and my hair actually started thinning!! It was terrible. I'm very worried that I'm going to be too stressed out and my hair is all going to fall out and I will have to quit college for medical reasons!!! Stress does weird things to me people. I got shingles (yes that is the old people virus thing) when I was eight because I became too stress being away from home for a week. This could be very bad. Do they give the shingles vaccine to 17 year olds? Probably not?
3. I won't be able to take my dog. Read some of my older posts if you want to hear more but Cody is the bomb.com. He is the greatest dog in the world. He is a certified therapeutic service dog and my registered personal service dog. I feel like I need him but I also feel like it would be super unfair to take him to college with me and make him live in a dorm. I would take him with me to class if I did take him but the problem presents itself when I want to go out at night or need to travel home. Hard to party when you are leading around a seventy pound dog.
4. My boyfriend is going to be seven hours away. Lubbock is far from everything. He is going to be attending Blinn. He is the best thing that has every happened to me and my friends and his friends agree. When one of his friends found out we we're going to be going to different schools she flipped out and started demanding that one of us change schools. We work so well together and I don't want to loose him. He actually asked me yesterday "so what is going to happen to us when we go to college?". I didn't want to talk about it over text but I told him we have all summer to figure it out. He is coming over in about an hour so I will have to give y'all an update. I don't know how to explain our relationship but I can guarantee that if you saw us together you would ship us so hard. And yes I just used ship, look at me using teenage slang and all.
I know this has been a long post and if I put all of my concerns in it I would be typing for days. If y'all have advice or consider yourself roommate material leave a comment. I know people are reading these, I have a page view counter thingy, so please leave some comments and maybe g+ some posts. Thanks y'all.
This blog is kind of a diary but hopefully along the way on my crazy journey I will have some kind of knowledge or insight to share.

Tragedy
Another update I forgot to mention. One of my previous posts is about my 1966 Ford Mustang. My beautiful dream car was in my possession for five months before an incompetent fool driving a street sweeper cause my father and and I to wreak our vehicles. The crash, that was found to be no fault of ours, totaled my car and my fathers truck. It had been more than a year and I am still extremely bitter. My car was my prized possession and I did nothing wrong to have it taken away. Thanks to my father I had three point seat belts in my car. If I hadn't had them I would have sustained a lot more damage than just making my face on the steering wheel and splitting open the skin under my eyebrow. The black eye that came with it would have put any boxer to shame.
As I said it has been more than a year. The company responsible still refuses to compensate us for any of the damages they caused. We have no intention of becoming rich off this misfortune, as my father said, we simply want to be whole again.
Hopefully by the time I graduate college the a settlement will have been made. If that happens then my graduation present will be a new frame for my car as the engine, transmission, and interior are all fine. I feel like I am being punished and that I can't have my car back until I can prove something through my graduation from college. I'm gonna sound like a little kid but ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!
Thanks for letting me vent, even it y'all didn't read this. It makes me feel a bit better.
As always like and leave comments.

English Project. What can you get done in one night?
My English 4 teacher is a genius man that gets on my nerves. The first day of school he would ask a question, listen to a students answer and always follow it with "Why?". We all became frustrated with him, the same way you become frustrated with three year olds in the Why Stage. Turns out asking why is really helpful in understanding literature and discovering an authors purpose. My teacher also loves art and interpreting art. If you were to run into someone at the Louvre he would be the man you would want to meet, the quiet genius of a man that would have intellectual conversations on the deeper meaning of existence and the purpose of man conveyed through the art work.
Our final project for his class was a video. It was supposed to be super artistic and avant garde and the only words we were allowed to use were ten quotes from a book we were supposed to read. My partner and I were supposed to read Catch-22. I wanted to share our video because it took a super long time. We did it in one night, in a total of twelve hours, I got three hours off sleep and now I am in some kind of hallucinogenic state. Everything is funnier at 2 in the morning. I think it is pretty great. I hope y'all appreciate it.

I've found my way back to you
I've been gone for awhile and I apologize to any one that was actually reading this. I'm gonna try and do this again. So a few updates (and excuses) for why I have been gone:
1. I am about to graduate from high school. Whoop whoop! My graduation ceremony is on June 11 and it will be THREE HOURS because there are 737 students in my class. Proudly #63.
2. I'm going to attend Texas Tech in the fall and study Mechanical Engineering. I guesses working on the mustang with my father had a greater impact than I expected.
3. I have completed my Independent Study of Mechanical Engineering. It was the most stressful class I have ever taken, my hair literally started thinning! I gave a 45 min presentation to my family, my mentor, and school admin on the research I had done all year and the product I had developed. This class is why I had no social life
4. I have a new beau. I don't remember if I told you about the last one but that relationship sputtered out in my mind and not in his, one of those awkward situations. My current boyfriend is a much better fit for me, my friends love him, and my family thinks his is as awesome as I think he is.
I think this blog is going to be more of a diary for me now, if I can keep up with it. Don't expect a post every day but I will try to keep you updated and share the wonderful and wacky parts of my life and some of the insight I gain along the way.
feel free to comment and like and share and all that good stuff. It makes me feel special:p
