A Letter

Dear 2010,


Why do you hate me? Today started out so good, I was looking forward to relaxing day of cleaning, shopping, hanging out with friends, and playing with my dogs. Is that too much to ask? I even went to bed early last night, because I wanted to get some more sleep.


I couldn't even sleep till 10am, before I received a phone call that will possibly change the next six months. And of ALL PEOPLE, my dad had to be the one to break the news too me.

First a little back history. I am a relatively good driver, I haven't had any major accidents, and only one speeding ticket in the two years I have been driving. I'm not normally a fast driver, but the one day I do exceed my fastest 70-75mph is the day I get caught.

On my way back from Florida, last year I got a ticket for speeding. obviously. Going...over 80 miles in a 70 mile and our zone. I cried, I slapped myself, I paid the ticket and moved on. 

Had I known another shoe would drop, I would have been very very anxious. But I didn't. Until today. 

Apparently due to me "Driving in excess of 80mph in a zone where 70mph was the maximum limit" my license will be suspended  for the next six.months. 
From now until February 2011. SIX MONTHS.  August, September, October, November, December, January and February. 8-O.
Driving is something I have defiantly taken for granted. But is this the ONLY way to make me appreciate it?? Requested a hearing and am hoping to be able to get a restricted license that allows me to drive to work and school at least.
Ugh. I am so annoyed, though I'm sure my family will be glad to have the extra vehicle to use. :(((


Thanks a lot 2010.

Dear 2010 - End of March

Dear March, 

Another doozy of a month, I can already tell this is a year that I won't forget anytime soon! This month I gained a roommate, started living pay cheque to pay cheque (I like spelling it that way), was more scared about government action than I've ever been.

Survived daylight savings time, skipped the one (and only) class of the semester and have revived from my post-spring-break-funk. :) I also decided that I couldn't let an instructors teaching style, get to my work. This is about me not them, and if I fail to produce a good product the person they are going to look at is me. So I'll be turning in my first late assignment of the semester, purely because I want to do a better job then what I was about to turn in.

I know I will get a bad grade, but I want to be able to get a bad grade on good work, then a bad grade on bad work.Does anyone besides me understand that sentence? No? 


And ya wondering why I'm taking developmental writing...

I've also jumped some major sharing hurdles...I have issues with that, but my darling roommate is helping me out with that! That and she has her own stuff and isn't asking for mine, which makes me more willing to share. (*cough-sibling take note-end cough*)

March it feels like you've been one test, and headache after another, but I survived by the help and grace of God.

You're are officially history; Good riddance.

Dear 2010 {February}

Dear 2010,

So January was a doozy, you pushed and prodded, and jumped all over me last month. You sent my blood pressure way up,(whatever that is) and required me to exercise a lot of patience..Lets not do that again ok?
February is here now and I'm kind of looking forward to this month, School is underway, I have 1 job, 3 dogs, and am preparing to move from my currently place. I'll need February to get these things done:

• Finish getting moved into new place
• Keep on top of my school work
• Keep the dogs healthy and Happy 
• Start Texas's re-socialization process
• Keep God First
• Keep rollin with my 101 N 1001 list

And that's just what I can think of now 2010, what i'm asking you to do, is to make sure tis month goes smoothly, no more surprises, or drama ok? Just let me get through this month!
Also if you could find a way to get me some extra money for that car I've been wanting...that would be aWeSome! 

Thanks
