Friends, car wreck and everything else

So this week has been very interesting. It started out ok but it went down hill from there. One of my friends got mad at me on Friday night over something stupid and still wont let it go. It makes me so mad. Then yesterday I got into a minor car wreck. I was leaving my dorm for dinner and someone ran a stop sign and hit the back drivers side of my car. Then my car hit the curb on the other side and I ended up hitting my head on the door causing a bump. My car wheels were both bent and it had to be towed. I didn't get a rental till today. I ended up going to the ER to have them look at my head. That was a cool experience. I got to get x-rays and a cat scan. I have a brain for anyone who was wondering. I also found out that nothing was wrong with me. That was good. I spent most of the day sleeping and resting. I am good now and hoping that the week goes up hill from here!

The Petting Zoo

Today I got to help with the Carnival at church. My job was the petting zoo. I got to feed a llama with my mouth. It was pretty cool. I had a ton of fun but I got a little bit of a sun burn. That part wasn't so much fun. Here are a few pictures.

A random picture of the animals. There was also a bunny and a chicken which I got to hold. I also held a goat for part of the time I was there. It was really cool.

Family Retreats

I woke up this morning and I couldn't sleep. I started to think about what all I had to do today. I have to go to church and help my parents sign people up for our Family Retreat. Twice a year my family organizes a retreat for the church family in south Texas. I love it. I love the area and I love being down there. We have gone on family retreats for the last like 12 years and I don't think that I have missed one yet. I will miss the one after this one because I will be in England. I hate to miss one but I think I will have a ton of fun in England. I think my favorite part of the family retreat is that my family does it together and we go down early to set things up and we come back later than everyone else. It is always a blast to have a few hours alone at the camp. You get to enjoy the peace and quiet before the kids get there and then the camp is filled with laughter and community. I am not sure which one I enjoy better.

A Petting Zoo/Day Care

I spent almost the whole day with my mom and I thought wouldn't it be cool to run a petting zoo. Then my mom said I could take my animals to birthday parties and stuff. Then I thought how cool would it be to have a day care that had a petting zoo. The kids that wanted to would be able to play with animals and learn how to react to them and not be scared and then I thought that if they were bad they could help clean the animals. They could also learn responsibility by helping feed the animals every day. How cool would that be? I think that I would have fun doing that and that as a kid I would love to go to a daycare where I got to see animals of all kinds everyday.

Allergist

Yesterday I went to the allergist and I found out that I am allergic to every grass and weed and I am also allergic to oak and cedar trees. The good thing was that I am not allergic to animals. I would hate to find out that I was. I think even if I was I would still go play with them. I LOVE animals. The sad thing about being allergic to all that stuff is it is all outside. So when I go outside I have to be careful because the doctor said that on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest I am a 10 to grasses, weeds and those two trees. That really stinks. I will still go outside but I just have to be extremely careful. Today I had to go back to the allergist to get an injection. I have to go every week and get them to hopefully help my body become immune to some of my allergies. I also went to Cingular to find out how much it will cost me to make phone calls when I am in England next fall. It will cost me 99 cents a min. That is a lot. I am going to see about getting a phone card or something that will be cheaper. Now I am going to attempt to finish cleaning my room! :) We shall see how well that goes!

Forgiveness/Friendship

Why is it so easy for some people to forgive others and keep there mouth shut when something really does bother them and for others it is so hard? I think I am one that easily forgives and tries to forget but it doesn't always work. I have noticed that I sometimes let people walk all over me. I tend to make a friend and love them no matter how bad they treat me and they could be mean to me and make me hate them but then after a little bit of time I get over it. It is crazy to me how this works. It makes me mad to some extent that I let this happen but then again I know that I am supposed to forgive and forget. So I guess my question should be is there a limit to forgiveness? Is there a point that it turns into someone walking all over you and you not being forgiving?

Spring Break

Well it is Spring Break! I am super excited!! I could use the sleep. But tonight I tried to go to sleep and ended up waking up after about 30 min so here I am writing this blog. I am fixing to clean my room and rearrange it a little. I am going to try to give myself some more room. This could get interesting. Then tomorrow at church I will be extremely tired and my sleeping pattern will become off. This should be an interesting week. On Monday I go to the allergist to find out what I am allergic to. That should be fun and then on wed. I go back to the dentist for more dental work. I hope everyone has a great week!

My week so far

So far I have had a really good week. Well it is only Monday but it has been a good one! I kind of got sick on Sunday. I think it was allergy related. I have had a lot of problems with that these last few weeks. Now I have to go in for an allergy test on next Monday. That should be fun. I am not scared but I think that is because I know it is something that I have to do. I get my new glasses this week. That is somewhat exciting. I was hoping to get back into contacts but that didn't happen because last time I went in and I was wearing my contacts I learned that they were depriving my eyes from oxygen. So I am stuck in glasses till they make contacts that breathe better. I am hoping that is sometime soon but until then I am in contacts. I don't have one of my classes on Wed. That is always a plus. I don't have any classes on Friday but I have to work. At least I get to sleep in. That should be fun. I hope everyone has a good week!
Love,
