I love these comics.

Today marks the start of something new in my life, and I'm really excited about it. This morning I drove to a local shelter that makes it their sole responsibility to take care of, and hopefully find homes for, pit bulls. I can't tell you why I love pit bulls, because I don't really know how to explain it other than I think they're just about the cutest dogs ever. I've been wanting to volunteer with this shelter for quite some time now, but whenever they have an orientation, I'm working. So finally, I had a free Saturday morning and could make it out there to get the proper information in order to volunteer when I have free time, by either walking dogs, or pretty much anything they need help with.

I'm just too too stoked for this opportunity. What they're doing is just fantastic, and now I get to be a part of it. Eek! And, in a few weeks, I'll have a little one of my very own!! I just loves dogs, puppies, slobber, licks, etc. I can't wait!

For more information, check out www.fresnobullyrescue.org . There you can see the dogs available for adoption, and they provide lots of information on the "breed".

The woman who ran the orientation today mentioned that the animal shelter in my county is a "shithole", and that's something I really wish I could change. I just don't really know how. Some food for thought.

After a full official week of fall semester 2014 (no regretzz), I can say I'm not in over my head, but my nose is the only body part sticking out of the water. EIGHTEEN BOOKS. Why me?! I guess this is what I get for being an English major. I mean, I'll be honest, this first novel that I have to have done in a week is amazing. I love it. (Wind from an Enemy Sky by D'arcy McNickle) but I have six more for that class alone. Please, pray for me.

Lots of inner turmoil this week about my future. I'm constantly thinking about what's to come instead of thinking about the now. It's a problem that I just haven't figured out how to solve yet. But anyways, I think I'll probably go ahead with the credential program after I finish with my bachelor's in English in the Spring. I just have to take two extra classes (which I totally have room for next semester) and pass the CSET and CBEST. What a blast, right? I just think I could rock a classroom. I love kids, and I love sharing information. It's either that, a great job at the zoo (if one opens up and they want to move me up), or cosmetology school. I know, I'm everywhere.

Enough of that. I need to get back to my mini churros and Native American novel.
Goodnight interwebz.

I seriously am ridiculous when it comes down to deciding which site to host a blog, how I want it to look, etc. But here it is, the new look. Hopefully this sticks!
