Facebook Fails...

*MY* facebook account is unavailable due to "site maintenance". WTF?? I am now desolate. :P

Anyway, this leaves me time to blog. :D

I am too busy. Waaay too busy. Sadly, I say this even though I'm less busy than I was last semester. Nonetheless, its true. I don't have time to hang out with my boyfriend. :( Bleck. Oh well, life is what it is.

This website is awesome. :D On the homepage there is a yellow button. When you click the button, sponsors donate 1.1 cups of food to charity, at no cost to you. I've signed up for their email newsletter and their daily reminders. So every day I get an email reminding me to click the button. This site also has an awesome shop with all kinds of free trade goods and organic clothing. They're all really reasonably priced. And unique. And gorgeous. So check it out.

Last week I tried out for All-Region. I didn't make it. But thats ok, because I didn't really expect to. It also served as our chair tryout, so I moved up to fourth chair (from seventh). That pretty much rocks. :D Especially since I still get to share a stand with Christie. (In band we take our stand partners pretty seriously...)

Oooh! More news. I met (via wonderful facebook and wonderful Setheran) a ninth grader at my school who is interested in starting a group to raise awareness about humanitarian crisises. Her initial idea was Darfur, but nothing is settled yet.

I got my first History Day interview! Jennifer Lusk was in town for the holidays. She is serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Moldova. She keeps a blog about her experiences and was delightful in person. Definitely a lot of fantastic footage for my documentary!

A few weeks ago, I discovered a degree program that I never knew existed. Rural Sociology. University of Missouri, Columbia has quite the graduate program in Rural Sociology. They offer a Master's degree and a PhD. So my current life plan, brace yourself, is to get an undergrad degree in Sociology from UCA. Then I would love to spend two years with the Peace Corps. After that, I'll return to the real world and enroll in the Rural Sociology graduate program at University of Missouri, Columbia. Parts of this plan make my family happier than others.

I would still prefer to go out of state and get out of Conway. I'm not a Conway fan, but whatever. It doesn't look like its going to work out that way... Life will go on. I'm sure a dorm room and a car will give me any freedom I need.
