Monday

This morning I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning but I eventually got up and went to school and my day began. First my teacher was late to class which is annoying, when he tells us that school is like a job and you should never be late.Ten minutes later he comes rolling in like nothing is wrong and then can't even connect his computer to the power point screen and spends the next twenty minutes while everyone is waiting for him to start.Personally, he should of prepared everything prior to class. After waiting for him to arrive and even longer for him to get ready to teach it was all very aggrivating. Then after that I came home and completed my welding homework and decided that I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies.I went online and found a reciepe and started getting all the ingredients ready to mix. I should have printed the reciepe in the first place, instead of going back and fourth between my laptop and the mixing bowl.So I am in my zone singing and not paying attention and first, I put two tablespoons instead of vanilla extract when the reciepe called for teaspoons.Then the reciepe called for water, and I proceded to put two cups instead of two tablespoons. So you see I should of been paying attention. My mix was completely liquid after putting that water in, so I threw it out and proceeded to start again. Found out that there was'nt enough butter and while I was looking for some I found a batch of cookies that were pre-made and jus needed to be put in the oven.While that was cooking I happend to look out the window and all four goats are just prancing down the driveway and headed straight for the flower bed in the front yard.So I told the dog "Lilly" to round them up, it was very hilarious watching her race across the yard back and fourth trying to herd all four goats back the way they came while the neighbor dogs are chasing one of the goats the wrong way.She finally was able to get them back to the barn and in all the excitment I forgot about the cookies baking inside.They were a little burned but not to bad.Today it is 64 degrees and I have on my cozy pants and sweatshirt, but I am still cold.Tonight I have my welding class and hopefully my teacher is there so we can have a quiz.

It's finally the weekend and let me tell you I couldnt be more happier. I mean yes I have a ton of homework but at least I am home and not going to class getting more behind.Hopefully I can catch up in my diesel class this weekend.Yesterday I got my results back on my first test from my surveying class and I recieved a 84% on it. Which im happy with since I thought I did'nt do very well on. This last week i missed a couple classes because I had to go to the doctor to find out that I most likely have a kidney stone which can be hopefully cured by drinking a lot of water. The weather is starting to cool down, I heard that it is supposed to rain this next week. I asked for more hours at work yesterday and my boss told me that he will give me an extra shift next week and more on the next schedule. He also said that because I am a hard worker and I stay on task that he is very willing to help me out. Also last night I was talking to one of the other server's and she said that she only kept this job becuase she got attached to some the residents and that they are very willing to give more hours to the kids that ask and work hard. So I am happy about that and she is right about getting attached to the oakmont.
Well I have got to get back to the books.

I have to catch you up with what has been happening in my life down here. Let me tell you I have been very busy. I know I have mentioned a couple classes in previos blogs but here is a more detailed description.For my classes I have a Tractors and Crawlers,Beginning Welding,Careers in Agriculture,Diesel Technolgies,and Basic Surveying. My Tractors and Crawlers class is the best class, for the last four weeks I have gone over parts and got to run loaders,bulldozers, and regular tractors. Last class I was on a backhoe for three hours digging and then going back over and smoothing it out. In welding class it has been a little hard lately trying to do gas welding.It takes a lot of concentrating and going slowly.In diesel technolgies it has been a true pain to go to that class and sit for six hours while my teacher try's to teach. I havent learned much in that class at all, so last time when I was home I had my dad give me a two hour long lesson which well my dad needs to go back into teaching. Specifcally this class jus this semester and next as well.I am very thankfull my dad helped me because I was very lost.Basic surveying has been allright it took a little bit of work trying to remember, the equations and how to survey but I have started to pick it up more quickly.

Long Day

I finally was able to get my welding jacket yesterday so today will actually be my first day welding and its going to be a little interesting trying to catch up with the rest of my classmates. Wednesday is my worst day out of the week, I wake up have to be at school by eight a.m. and have class until ten p.m. at night. So it will be a long day. Yesterday it was soo much fun, I had my tractors and crawlers class and got to drive a FR 15 Loader. I also got to move some dirt with it which made it even more delightfull.  I was able to back to Mount Shasta this last weekend and it was very relaxfull and nice being around my parents and friends. It was very much needed trip.

Road of life part 2

I have given much thought into if I should have a bucket list or not and I think that instead of having hundred things to do on one's death bed, it should be spread out over a few years and that way one will feel very releaved with there life when the time comes to leave this wonderful place. So far i have come up with nine things.Your most likly asking "Are you okay, Are you dying" No I just think that life is short and one should live as much as possible.
1.Take a cake decorating class.
2.Research a favorite mystery of a lost treasure and pursue finding it when you have the money and time.
3.Buy a house.
4.Buy a smart breed of dog that will be the best guard dog.
5.Take history classes.
6.Fix up a specific muscle car "with your dad's help"
7.Make money and save like crazy!!!
8.Take classes on self defense and gun control.
9.Travel to major historical events happend in our country such as-pearl harbor, and the underground railroad
10.Travel to an exotic island with my childhood friends.
There now you have my list of ten items that I want to acomplish in the next fifteen years.
