Final Blog!!!

I  have enjoyed being in this class with all  of you. I really enjoyed the papers we had to write, I liked the topics of all of them. The only one that I had trouble coming up with how to write it was the advertisement anaylsis paper. It was not because I did not like the topic it is just because I write better papers when it comes more from a personal experience. I am gonna miss coming to this class twice a week. Mr. N was a really great teacher and was a lot of fun in class. I really enjoyed his class, and hope to take another English class with him as my teacher.

My dad leaves again!!!

So my dad came home from Slovakia on November 18th. He was so happy to be home, and I had a lot of fun with him while he was home. We went to Baxter's to shoot pool last Saturday, went to my grandma's house for Thanksgiving on Thursday and then to my other grandma's house on Friday for Thanksgiving. The rest of the time he was home, my mom, dad, boyfriend and I all just stayed home and watched movies, so we could all spend time with him. On Sunday, November 28th he left again for California until December 17th. Then he will come home for Christmas and New Year's and on January 3rd he will leave again for Serbia. I hate it that he has to travel all the time because I do not get to see him a whole lot, and he has to miss a lot of moments in my life that are important to me, such as when turned 21. I wish he was here for that but he could not be. I am glad that my dad does something that makes him happy, and I know understand that he hates being gone from home, but he likes what he does.

Worst day of my Life!!!

Last night I went to my boyfriend's house to spend the evening with him and when I got home my dog Brandy had vomited up a plastic bag. Wondering where she had got it from and why in the heck she would eat a plastic bag. My mother and I both work at the vet's office here in Red Bud, so right away we were concerned. My dog Brandy will be 16 years old in June, I have had her ever since she was born, so she is means the world to me. Right away I gave her some food to see if she would eat, after vomiting, but she would only drink water. This morning when I woke up she had vomited some more, so I called my mother at work and she told me to bring her up and they would palpate her stomach to see if they could feel anything and possibly take x-rays to see if anything shows up. I hated to leave her, but they told me before I left they would call me right away if anything changed, to where I needed to be there right away. If they do see something they may have to do surgery, because otherwise it can cause a twisted stomach which would kill her instantly. I can not wait to get out of class to go see her. Although it sounds weird she has been my best friend through everything, she is the one that I can talk to and I know she will not tell anyone. When I am crying she will lay her head on my lap and look up at me with her big brown eyes, which instantly puts a smile on my face and lets me know everything will be alright.
