Ok so i am officially freezing cold, and it just serves as a reminder of why I am going to school someplace warm..... but man it seems so far away.... I have started the application process at several of the schools i am looking at but it takes so long. First there is the actual application then there is the fee that some of them charge, then there are the academic references, the transcripts, the personal references, and the ministeral references.... serriously its somewhat rediculous, and frustrating, I can't use the sae people for all of the schools that I apply too, that just gets tiresome, especially since I am applying to at least 5 schools maybe as many as 10.....and then there is the small issue that the schools that i like the best so far are also the most expensive ones in my list of about 13 or so schools. ....but i guess I can say that I have started anyways....its such a long road.

I got to take my sister to see Sarah Palin the other day, and it was like way cool!! We were literally so close to having her sign our tickets but she ended up signing others instead, which is ok I guess. We were behind her during the speech but she turned around alot so that was ok. Being there made me realize a lot of different things, but one of those was what I have been trying to pinpoint for a long time..... Ithink I am going to be secret service when I grow up...jk....:-) No actually i realized that I would like to pursue some type of photojournalism along with my social work. Because if it worls out that I can work overseas I want to be able to tell the story of the people that I work with through my photography. So we'll see how that one pans out....lets just say i am praying about it......

Waiting in line
