BLOG # 4

I jus wanted to inform you guys b4 i proceeded with my blog that i found out in one of my other classes that you SHOULD NOT DRINK HOT LIQUIDS THAT HAVE BEEN SITTING IN YOUR CAR AND HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE SUN. Why u ask? bcuz somthing happens when the sun hits the plastic and gets into the liquid and is cancerious when you drink it. It was said that sheryl crow got her cancer from drinking hot liquids that were kept in the heat. so DO NOT DRINK liquids that you have kept in your car!!!!!!!!! u will get cancer =[

*Ok so 2day in class we as a whole(class) shared our memories our "BAGS". EVERY BODIES were real good and alot of them made me cry. One of the five memories from my bag was my acceptance letter from UNI The University of Northern Iowa. I had applied after getting ready to transfer from a community college to a four year university and one of my friends had told me to apply to this college that was SUPER free if you were chosen for the Bridge Scholarship. This didnt sound right so i wanted to talk to a councelor. So i went to speak with Charley the man n charge of it all. He told me it was free for 2 years as log as i completed my Associates, no matter what degree i was looking at getting so i applied got chosen to GO UP TO IOWA and view the campus for free so i was like how much is the ticket? Nope no cost UNI payed for it all our place to stay our food everyday we were there. The scholarship included free tuition and board. It was AWESOME we stayed a week but the down fall was it was during mid terms so we had to do our work ahead of time. It was sooooo worth it though because when we went the weather was nice it wasnt snowing =[ but it was cold and the campus was HUGE. Every where you went on the campus you saw students with "laker" colors which for me was sweeter! ima laker fan! About 15 students got picked and we had to go through another picking process, to see which students would benefit being placed at UNI i was chosen but i had to turn it down because of family reasons but it was a nice school i would recommend it to anybody who wanted to leave the state and wants a free degree meaning free for 2 years.
i was blessed to even have gotten picked and i was really excited! that was one of my memories!
now im gonna read yous guys ! laTeR =]

First off, that whole plastic thing!! WHOa thats scary because I always leave my water in my car and drink it after school. I am going to stop with that. And congrats on beng accepted to that college, it must have been a great feeling!!! Too bad you were not able to actually go. But,everything always tends to happen for a reason.

Gabby that sounded like a great opportunity. I know you must have felt sad, but sometimes things are not meant for us. Sometimes we plan and something comes up and we have to change our plans. That is so inconvienient for us but then later we see it wasn't meant to be. You always have a good attitude and thats great!:)
