It's November 14th? Really?

Ughhhhh....

This week has not been terrible. Actually, it's been pretty good overall. The last few weeks have been. But for some reason it's worn me out. Everything is slipping by so fast! so fast. I need to stop and take a breath, but life just keeps zooming on by at lightning speed! I had an English presentation this week (SO glad THATS over...), next week I have to give a presentation in an Anatomy and Physiology class and I'm in a preshow for a play at my school. I had orientation to volunteer at Florida Hospital this week (I am SO excited for that!!), and an interview on December 2nd. I need to sell Christmas CD's for youth group. I need to raise Bowl-A-Thon pledges for Circle Theatre Company. I need to sell Chick-fil-A calendars for Company. I need to babysit/ do odd jobs or whatever to earn money. Not to mention the upcoming holidays and semester finals, and then taking the SAT and being in Guys and Dolls next semester.

AHHHH!!!

hahaha. I really do love my life and wouldn't trade it for anything... probably....
Just kidding.
But- I do wish I didn't feel so frantic and worried.
It'll be alright. I can manage to continue to get by by the skin of my teeth. (Is that the right expression?)

On a lighter note-
This past Sunday I went to Merritt Island to visit my grandparents, who are down from Alabama. My aunt and uncle and two cousins were there too. So me and my family hung out and had lunch with them, and me and my cousins played outside, and my dad even took me and my sister to the beach for a little while. That was fun.
Then today after doing schoolwork and babysitting at Jazzercise, me and my family went out to dinner at Steak n' Shake (yumm), and then watched the shuttle launch. It was so amazing. I've seen shuttle launches before of course, but it's been a while; especially since I've seen a night launch. The shuttle lit up the sky... it was great. I can't imagine what it would be like to be one of the people on the shuttle. Wow.
Oh the joys of living in Florida. :)

Thoughts on the election....

Welllll. A LOT has happened this week, and while I am NOT happy on the results of the election, I think it is all very interesting. So I figured, "Heyy, I have a blog, why not share my opinion!" Thus, this post was born.

Let me start off by saying that I am not really that surprised that Obama won the election. I kinda saw it coming. The thing that DOES surprise me, however, is that this country elected a crazy left-wing liberal president, and passed amendments outlawing gay marriage? What the heck? Don't get me wrong, I don't want gay marriage to be legal, and I do not agree with homosexuality. But really? I am truly blown away by that. I thought for sure that Amendment 2 (that's what it was in Florida, anyways) would not pass.

Secondly. You can probably guess already that I do not like Barack Obama. And I don't. I think he is a socialist and I think he is very bad for this country. But I know that God has a plan. I know things will work out. And I know that I need to respect Barack Obama as the President of the United States because that is the right thing to do. Even though it sounds oh so wrong. I can deal with Obama being the president.

However, that being said... the thing that scares me/ worries me/ saddens me/ frustrates me more is what our country has become. We have strayed so far from what our founding fathers originally meant this country to be. We have messed up our political system until it is flawed. Still better than most, might I add, but not what it could be. The media is crap because everyone is biased. The political system is chock full of liars and is like one big sick game to see who can get the most money and power. And most importantly, we as Americans are lazyyy. No one has a good work ethic anymore. They just expect the government to take care of them. GOVERNMENT DOES NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. The bigger/more powerful/more involved government is, the worse things get. Does no one see what happens because of socialism in the rest of the world?! Come on, people! Russia! Iraq! Germany! Nasty dictators who promise great things and give you NOTHING. Can we not learn from history and the mistakes of others around us? I suppose not, because this country gets closer to socialism every day. And it really sucks. It makes me sad to see that so many people just don't use common sense, and the direction that the United States of America is going.

Well, those were just some thoughts bouncing around in my head for now. I'll be posting anything else of importance that comes to mind.
God Bless America! Oh, and Palin 2012! ;)
