Life Hits Hard

I'm very thrilled to see that my other blog is doing so well. I don't have any followers on it but I seem to be getting a lot of traffic. I hope the material that I post is helping someone somewhere. I recently became the secretary of RISE which is the interfaith group on campus. I feel like I can do some good there.

All my classes are finally set up how I want them. Unfortunately, I had to drop my Biochemistry major so I can add prerequisites for nursing school. I just hope I make it out of here with my degree in Animal Science and minor in Chemistry. My dad has recently hit a rough patch with his help. If it gets any worse I will be there for him even if that means dropping out of college to make that happen. If his health gets any worse with his diabetes then he'll lose his license to drive a truck and lose his job.

I'll have to go to work if that happens to help support him. There's no way he can keep up with his payments and still be able to live in the apartment and have food. I just hate that I'd have to drop out of college to do this and then all those loans he took out on me to go here would mean nothing. I hope it doesn't come to that.

My love life is still nonexistent. I just don't really have the time or the heart to be going back out into the field yet. I've been trying and I've met some really nice people. I just don't know if they're the right ones for me. I don't want to rush into anything either. My heart still hasn't healed from the last disaster.

I started my nature journal yesterday which I thought was very fitting considering that it was April Fool's Day. In ancient Rome, Pagans celebrated April 1st as the first day of the new year with merriment and pranks. Later on it became know as April Fool's day when Rome was ran by Julius Ceasar and it was primarily Christian. The new year was changed to January 1st and the Christians would call the Pagans fools and play jokes on them which were sometimes cruel. However, it was okay because that was a part of the day so the Pagan's didn't mind.
