Hello again..sorry for not posting in awhile....of course lots of stuff has happened since the previous post so I wont waste time with idle chitchat and get straight to the point of the post.

My classes are going great. I love most of them...The only one I really dont like is health care mangement...its not like its hard or anything, its just something that Im really not interested in doing so I feel like its a waste of time. I love all my other classes. My anthropology class is awesome and its really got me thinking about going back to school and majoring in it...It would be a great addition to my health bacholor degree and it could lead to me being able to travel the world more often which is my dream! Of course I really love my racism and mass media course...best prof in the world. We have watched three movies including Crash and American History X...Crash wasnt great..I think that it more or less perpetuated the stereotypes already plastered into the mind sets of the world and did nothing to correct them or show an alternative version. American History X is a great movie...its deep and disturbing but its one of those must see movies...it also has a great message in it. I just love this class cause I learn so much and we have such great discussions. I had a class with this prof last semester and I got teary eyed on the last day cause we wouldnt be meeting anymore thats how much I love the prof...I just love it cause he gets you to think and you learn from it..I will really miss this guy when he leaves GVSU...to bad they wouldnt hire him...bad move on their part. Now on to my cls classes..well last time I told you guys that I would start phlebotomies...well that was an experience all in its self...talk about an adrenaline rush...So far I have completed four phlebotomies and one finger stick...and I have yet to miss a vein..go me! Im just really happy that Im excited about my classes...it means Im going on the right track when it comes to my career...ya!

In the past week I have done multiple fun things with friends...I just love them all to the point that they feel like my family away from home...They are all just great and I dont know what I would do without them. We went bowling a couple of times and that was so much fun. I had not done that in years and I actually did quite well..been breaking a hundred most of the time...oh today was great we went to this bowling ally where we had to score ourselves...it was a great experience...hehe..I had to warm up my mental math skills a bit...Oh and of course tomorrow is the superbowl...and we are getting together for a bit of a party..fun times! Go Steelers!

On a sadder note...two days ago marked the 1 year anniversary of my grandmother's death...I miss her so much and this year has been really hard..Im just glad to have the distractions this weekend to help me through it....thanks guys!

Another thing that has been going on in my life deals with my love life or lack there of...I dont know what is wrong with me...it gets really hard at times especially seeing all the happy couples plus valentines right around the corner to remind all us single people that we are alone...I just really want to experience what its like to date and be in a relationship...Ive never even had a first date yet and Im 21..how pathetic is that...I know im told that the right one will come someday...but do you know how tiring that is to hear...plus its even harder when you have a crush on someone that barely knows you exist or if he does...you know pretty well that he isnt in to you in a way thats more than friends and probably never will be...It also doesnt help that Im not the type of person who can go up to a guy she likes and tell him...I just dont have the guts when it comes to that...but I also have never been asked by guy either...sad...Im pretty sure that the whole me having no guts comes from stuff with my family that happened in the past...and even know I know thats most likely the reason I still cant bring myself to get over it. next post i will try and fill ya in on my past..it will be one of those really long post that im to tired to type tonight. anyway enough of me carrying on...got to get some sleep! Take care everyone and God bless!
