Challenge by Misty

This is a thing from Misty's Profile, that i thought would be interesting to do.

"Six Things You Might Not Know About Me"

1. I do not trust easily, nor do i forgive easily. I have been working on it for a while now, and it is getting easier, but just like everything else in life it takes time.

2. I do not affiliate with any religion....I am unsure of my own beliefs right now, but i am exploring more and more things, and trying to come up with what i find to be true...some people say I am Agnostic, but I am unsure if there is a higher power...so that is still question.

3. I eat a ton of food, even though it does not seem that way! I love Chick-fil-A and I am extremely glad there is one located no more then 10 minutes away! It is fantastic, but I do not like non-organic veggtables because i watched a show about pesticides, and that changed my whole look at veggies, but i do love food!

4. Most people might know this....but I love shopping, but I hate spending money! I am the cheapest person alive! Even if it is really, really, really needed I spend a couple hours or even days thinking about the pros and cons about getting the item, and what happens in the future if i get that item...will it help me later? What if i really need that money on something else? So, needless to say....when i start a career I will have a lot of money in the bank and will still be complaining about not having money and living in tiny little house.

5. I am not the typical teenager. I do not like loud drinking parties, nor do I wish to ever try a drug of any sort! I am not the typical teen girl either, i do not like dresses, and I do not like trying to act pretty and fancy around people. I love t-shirts and jeans and shorts. I love to hike and play in the dirt, especially at Garden of the Gods in the early mornings....around 7 or 7:30am!!! I love to volunteer my time, and most of all.....I love little kids!

6. I am still much of a little girl at heart, in the sense that i love Tinkerbell. I don't really know why...just is amazing, along with pretty much anything else that is Disney, typically the older things not the new disney crap. I also love the Carebears...once again the OLD ones, not the new ones....the new ones tend to scare me and are just not the same!!!

Well, to anyone to actually reads this....go on and i challenge you to do this too!!!

Summer

Wow,
Its summer time! I have been out of school for a while now and it has been amazing. I love the fact that I do not have to wake up early every single day to sit in a class full of stupid kids who could careless to be there! I am so excited to head to Ft. Collins in the fall and start a new life! I am not a person who trusts easy nor do I make friends easy which is why i am glad to be leaving childish people and head on to a school of over 23.000 which will allow for the opportunity to find friends that are not childish and who accept me for who I am.
I am excited for this summer because I can be myself and hopefully get a little money although I do not have a job, nor am I really looking for one because I have days here and there that I would need time off for and that would just not be fair for the people that i would be working for. I have a job on the weekends babysitting which I love! I have gained a scholarship and will be headed to Denver to a week long camp at which time they will tell us somethings that are important and we will learn more about the other people that have recieved the scholarship and possibly find someone that is going to the same school.
I am leaving for Ft. Collins in the fall, as I have said before and am excited but nervous at the same time. I am so ready to leave and start a new life, but not ready to be totally one my own! My friend Angela will be going with me and we will be rooming together which is going to be amazing but challenging. I am going to major in Health and Exercise Science with a concentration in Sports Medicine and then plan on going into Occupational Therapy. I have decided that I will be working with children not adults or young adults!
I have a love for photography which is another reason I have decided to blog. I have recently spent $938 on a professional Canon camera. I bought a Canon SLR XSI. I has been amazing and I have also recently bought a new lens which cost more then I expected but I love photography which is why I was willing to spend so much money. I really enjoy photos of children and black-white. I have tried out filters and do not like those...some are okay but when I use them, they come out weird and I would rather stick with natural, black-white and sepia photos! I also love senery photos. I take photos of anything just to get away from people, and to relax and de-stress! It helps so much and I am grateful for it!
Well, I am off for now, I have no clue when I will update next, but this is for family and close friends to be updated on my college life as i leave the nest! So, when I head to college in the fall, it will be updated more :)
