Shots and Malaria Medicine

I got my shots today for Hepatitis A and B. I had tried to get the last week but the medical office at school was closed last week and I figured I could procrastinate before that. Then at last weeks orientation for my trip to Central America I found out that I needed to start taking my a week before we left. So I took the first Malaria pill yesterday and need to avoid all contact with mosquitoes for the first 2 days. Though what maybe equally if not more challenging will be avoiding eating fecal matter for the first week. Because my Hepatitis A shot doesn't start working for two weeks.

I applied for my passport today

I got a scholarship to study abroad in central America this summer which I am super excited about. The only problem with this idyllic situation is that I don't have a passport. I also had could not find my passport and had to renew my drivers license. I spent all weekend looking for my birth certificate and could not find it so this morning I had to drive down to Van Nuys not an easy feat during rush hour and get a new copy then come back to Santa Clarita to apply for my passport. I seem once I acomplished this Herculian feat I was pretty proud of my self then right after I got a check from my Grandama for $5o0 for so spending money on the trip so as long as nothing goes wrong with my passport I will be in Central America in 23 days. I am also proud of my self that I could have procastinated 2 more days but I took action.

Wish My Mind Was Spotless

I just watched The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it is such an amazing film. I have seen it before and thought it was marvelous then and it kind of seems that it is the type of movie you can only watch once but it held up very well on this second viewing.

It has inspired me. The company Lacuna that erases peoples minds has a van they use to transport all of it equipment and it has the the "c" erased from the word Lacuna so it says La una. La una means the one in spanish which seems to be what the movie is advocating. That there is one person out there for that is the right person. I think that is what I would like to believe but it seems impossible. Though what I liked about the movie is that even having their memories erased the people in love with oneanonther fell in love again.

WOW

The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."

Over the past few weeks I have been doing and not doing a lot of things. I felt like I was on a mission to make my life better, but then I decided to travel into a strange and horrible land of unporductivity. I litterally gambled away my life savings. Then I wrecked my car while I have no money. I procastinated on school work so much I may fail 3 classes. It has been a scarey journey, though in super slow motion. The whole time I felt like I could get it back under control I would just wait a little bit longer to do it.

I feel like I made a turn around this morning. I prayed. I evaluted the situation in order to figure out how to make it right. I studied. I have worked out. I am hoping these new events will recure often over a long time.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the American Dream (Part 1)

Oh America, you nation of dreams. I have been affected by the nation’s economic crisis for quite some time now. I have been unemployed for nearly a year now, and my last job was in wholesale sales so really early we were hit by the economic apocalypse that world is facing right now.

For months my only solace during the bitter economics times was that the news kept saying it is not my fault but I was participating in the nations suffering. It felt as if I was doing my duty as an economic citizen. Me being unemployed wasn't my fualt and I was enduring the economic hardship so the economy could get better.

Then in February the times began too seem too troubling. I was suffering and so were the mass of my friends. One of my buddies worked three hours a week just so he could have a job, other friends lousing jobs completely. Everywhere people were being evicted or nearly evicted from their homes. Myself, I was only able to rely on the all power God and his manna of unemployment checks. Everywhere there was a since of woe. It felt like those that had jobs began to have contempt for those that did not, similar to that felt by a man with a brain does for zombies.

While logically a person could think that the zombie is a victim of circumstance and someone could feel bad for the zombie; all a person can think about is how they don’t want it to happen to them. Plus the employed feel like those who don’t have jobs are living of those who do.

So it is within this apocalyptic world that I a zombie began to despair for my fellow man: seeing the economic time as bleak, thinking that the American dream has come to an end, wanting to flee to a nation with a cure.

The Great Sleep Over

I spent the night at Charles' house last night. It was awesome. We swapped stories tales of adventure, ailments and girls. Then this morning his mom made us pancakes it was fantastic.
