Welding

Well, I got out of my Welding class about an hour ago. It was the first day we actually did some welding. The type of welding we're doing is called Oxy Acetylene Welding. It's a mouthful. When my teacher was giving us the instructions, I couldn't hear anything! So I was terrified when we had to start welding because I didn't know how to turn on everything. So I asked someone who oh so kindly helped me out. Now I think I'll be able to do it myself. I had a lot of fun though. I was terrible, but what else can you expect from a beginner?

New Year

I admit it, I suck at updating. My life is pretty boring and the parts that are exciting I can't talk about online or at all, so you're gonna have to put up with it.
I'm not making any new year resolutions because I never stick to them. But along with the new year is the new school year. Which is where I'm at right now. I got out of my painting class early today because it was just a syllabus lecture. I'm excited for the class, but it's going to cost a lot to get all the supplies. Along with my Welding class, I'm going to be broke.
I have a job. Had it since November and I love it! I work at the local Funeral Home. Yes, I'm weird and no, bodies don't freak me out. I'm the weird one in the family.
Hopefully this year will bring lots of joy and success!

Painting

Today I made a painting for my Grandma who is in the hospital right now. Since she missed home so much, I decided to paint what she'd usually see looking out the kitchen window. Here is a picture of the final product.

It's definitely not the best painting in the world, but I'm sure it'll make her happy.

Something Random

A couple months ago I was looking through my box of writing when I found a poem that I had written, but didn't finish, during my Senior year for my English class. Since I liked what was written, I decided to finish it and share it. We had to write an Ode so here is my Ode to Insanity.

Ode to Insanity
My friend, which cannot be seen with the eye
You give me comfort inside my warped mind
Cackling maniacally when others are nigh
Giving them chills and think you unkind
Only I know you have a sincere heart
To give comfort to those who are in need
The ones who have indeed lost their head
And with that you've done your deed.
Don't be like mom and leave a horse and cart
Otherwise I'd say you haven't done your part
And besides, without you, I'd be better off dead.

You're a blanket of security wrapped up tight
Around those loose headed forms
Which keeps them awake at night
In their enclosed padded dorms.
Running in circles, making a scene
All the others think us as weird
But this is as normal as I can be
It is not something to be feared
Since you are something that cannot be seen
But still, I treat you like a Queen
Because you, my friend, are my Insanity

I only had a few lines into the second stanza when I turned it in. Since I worked so hard on it, I got full credit unlike some other students who wrote a bunch of nonsense, finished it, and received a C. I was very proud of myself. And yes, I know, it's weird, but that's why I like it.

Good News!

Okay, I lied. The pictures didn't come soon, but at least I'm getting them on now.



And Sharon was so proud that I finally got to fifty. I was very hesitant to go too fast. The highest I went was almost 60.
Now, some good news. I took my driving test today and I passed with flying colors. I had no errors! I was so happy. All my worries were for nothing.

Driving

Last Saturday I drove to my Grandparents house. It was a three hour drive, and I made it! I only scared the family once, going to fast around a corner on Scott Mountain. Apparently Jacquie was halfway out the window, screaming, Sharon was flattened against Jacquie, screaming and I think both parents were screaming. I managed not to roll the car though, thank goodness and the rest of the trip was uneventful. Pictures of me driving coming soon.

Update

Wow, it's been a long time since I last put up a post. Well, about three weeks ago my wisdom teeth were taken out. It took about 3-4 days for my left side to feel better and a little over a week for my right side to heal. I'm just glad I can eat normally again.
Something interesting happened to me a few days ago. I unscrewed the light bulbs in my room and placed them on the sewing table. In my sleep. I woke up and saw the light bulbs on the table and realized what I had done. I know I did it in my sleep because for some bizarre reason, in my dream I had removed light bulbs from a fixture. I find it hilarious, it's the first time I've sleepwalked.
