Graduation 2010

June 24, 2010 – 11:48 pm

Schools out for summer. Schools out forever! Thats right, I graduated yesterday and I am so proud of myself. Before graduation I tried to make the day go very slow because I was scared and had every thought of negativity about myself go through my mind. But I stayed strong and did not runaway. Everything went well and I had a blast!

Princess goes to school!

May 17, 2010 – 11:56 pm

Leaving Princess in a cage in the morning at the tech school was difficult but she and I survived it. When I got back there in the afternoon she was so excited to see me. She was ready to claw her nails into my back so I could never leave her again. Before I started working on her everyone said hello to her and she LOVED that. Princess is not spoiled with food. She is spoiled with love and she shares the love too.

Princess cooperated pretty much while I groomed her. I gave her a nice bath which she needed badly. After that I blow dried her. I wasnt sure how she would react to that but she was good with it. Except, she did not like her face being blow dried. Anyways, grooming her I knew she would be pretty cooperative. Only thing she does not like done is her feet but that is common with a lot of dogs. The nice thing about Princess is she does not bite when she does not like something. She just stares at me with her big eyes, wondering if I will be done soon. Anyways, I do like how she turned out and she got a cookie after to thank her for the help. Now, I hope the two ladies who observed us all thought I did well. It was stressful but I accomplished it. So, what do you think of her new look?

Bye bye fluff

May 16, 2010 – 11:52 pm

So, I spent my weekend up at the cabin with my mom and the dogs. The weather was great. Not too hot and not too cold. Perfect! My mom planted some trees and put some manure down. Let me tell ya. That stuff was da shit. Hehe. It sure stunk up the car. Almost couldnt breathe. Anyways, I got lots of exercise walking the dogs around the lake and they sure enjoyed it. They always have fun.

Guess what! I got some big news. I have my hands on test tomorrow for small animal care and guess who I am grooming. My girl, Princess! Yes, I am so excited. I get to bring Princess to my technical school tomorrow. Dropping her off in the morning before I go to my main school. She is going to hate me for leaving her in a cage alone until I get there at twelve in the afternoon. But then she is going to even hate me more when I bathe and groom her. I will make sure to give her lots of love and kisses during and after so she forgives me. Woot! I am excited. Dont worry I will show pictures of her all groomed and share with you how it went. Hope you all had a nice weekend and made some memories. I am going to curl up with my girl and get some sleep. Night.

Animal Career Future

April 28, 2010 – 12:16 am

So, I think I did pretty good on my written small animal care final. I am not too worried since I felt pretty confident with it. A lot of it was common sense for a knowledgeable animal lover and owner like myself. The next part of the final is in a few weeks and thats the hands on part where we groom a dog. Thats the part that kind of scares me more. A lot of perfection needed but I am pretty good at bathing, shave downs and rounding feet. Just can be difficult at times because every dog breed gets a different type of grooming and haircut. It can be hard but grooming has an artsy side to it.

Senioritis Is On The Rise

April 22, 2010 – 12:16 am

As the last quarter of the school year begins the seniors are starting to get antsy. The time seniors start to procrastinate more and less motivated. Funny thing is I was more like that last quarter. This quarter I want to do well because it is the very last chance that I can. Plus, all of my big tests are soon. In my technical school that I go to in the afternoon, I have my small animal care test on Monday. It is going to be a hundred multiple choice questions and I am studying for it (amazing). Woot! To me that is the most important test to pass since its my passion and love.

The days feel longer and longer but graduation is just around the corner. In my main school that I go to in the morning, all the seniors got their height measured for graduation. I wonder how many guys are close to my height in my grade. I know there are a lot of tall guys but there are also a few shorties. Hehe. Interesting thing is I am not the shortest one in my grade! Anyways, I am going to relax and then get some sleep in a little since school is still in session. I hope everyone is having a nice week and look! The week is almost over already. Peace.

White of Graduation

April 14, 2010 – 1:03 am

Oh my goodness. Its April and I graduate in June! Its so close. Did I just say close? All year I have been saying its so far away but if I think about it, it will be here sooner than I think. So, in my school the girls wear white dresses and the men wear suits for graduation. My white dress that my mom ordered came in the mail the other day. I tried it on and my mom said I looked beautiful. That really opened up my eyes about that I will be done with school in a few months.  I am excited and scared. Happy and sad. Ready and not ready. I am filled with mixed emotions about graduating.

Dont get me wrong. I want out but its gonna be a big change. Change has always scared me. Its interesting to watch my friends talk about how excited they are to graduate but then see the fear in them that they try to hide. You know. Since, its high school and you need to act cool and hide the emotions that seems like weakness. In my opinion, admitting that you are scared and unsure is healthier and will make the process easier.

My big concern is what the hell am I going to do after? Who will I be? Where do I go? I have already been searching for my life and purpose for years now. Maybe having no school will help me create the life I want or maybe I will feel like I really have no life. I do not know but I do know I have my mom and dogs to help guide me. I am so thankful for that.

So, I am going to get some sleep because I still have to attend school until I graduate. Hehe. Maybe, I will have a dream of walking in my white dress and seeing my mom in tears. Dont worry, I will make sure to get pictures of me on graduation. Me? In a dress?! Its a rare site. Something that happens only once every few years. Until then you can all wonder what I look like in a dress. Its a mystery. Hehe. Night night.

College Not Needed

January 15, 2010 – 12:54 am

Walking into my school you enter a community of teenagers that all push to go to the best colleges out there. To impress and fit in. To discover who they are or to make their parents proud. It seems like when you are a senior, college is all you talk about. None stop. Personally, I hate the subject.

Do I plan on going to college? No, I dont. I know you all have something to say about that. Maybe how I should go. I might like it. Bla bla bla. I appreciate all your opinions and enjoy reading them but college is not my place. Why? I know what I want to do in life. Many teenagers my age dont but I have my passions. Plus, college would just be torturous for me. I want to get out in the world and experience it. That is how I will accomplish my dreams.

I would rather just get a job when I graduate. Pet sitting or something with dogs. Plus, I can always take a class to learn more about photography or dog training. I have always preferred working instead of school anyways. Its a known fact that a lot of kids just go to college to grow up. I can grow up in a job just as well. Also, a lot of teenagers are pressured into it by friends and family. I know how it is. Really, the only reason I was leaning towards college was because right now that is what makes you “cool” at this age. Saying your not going to college can make you feel like people do not think you are smart or will get far in life. Thats wrong though. I can get just as far or even farther as long as I push myself.

College is not for me. It is not my cup of tea. I visited a few of them and they just did not click. It is okay though. I have my mom’s support and her guidance. She is a mother who will help me if I dont go or if I do. My mom just wants me to be happy and succeed the best I can. So, right now there is no college in my plans. I prefer not to right now. It makes me stress if I feel like it is something I must do. I will show you that I can succeed with out it.

Princess Goes To School

January 9, 2010 – 4:48 pm

It was more like Princess sneaks into school. So, yesterday I did not go to my technical school in the afternoon and two of my friends decided to spend time with me. The three of us walked to my house and of course Oliver and Lady were wary of them and barked but Princess was all friendly. Her face is so irresistable and loving. I decided I would walk back to school with them and take Princess to surprise my mom when she came to pick me up. When we got back to the school I thought it would be fun to sneak Princess in to meet my favorite counselor. Its Princess. My girl. The dog I always am talking about.

The challenge was how do I get this twenty five pound dog in the school without getting in trouble. So, I took my hoodie off and dressed her up in it. Princess looked like she was from da hood! It was cute and funny. She cooperated and just stayed still until i got in my counselors office. Princess has a lot of patience. Of course everyone there loved her. How can you not. She got smothered with love and she loved it. The best part was I told my mom to come to the counselors office so I could surprise her. First she thought it was someone else’s dog but then realized it was Princess. She was happy and confused about seeing Princess there.

I always wanted to bring Princess at least once into the school to meet my counselor since she loves animals. So, Princess and I accomplished that yesterday, If it was allowed I would bring Princess with me everyday and all day long but its not. She is my therapy dog. Helps me when I am down and is always there for me to hug and hold. I hope you all are staying snuggly warm in this cold weather and having a lovely fun weekend.

Back To School But Not For Long

January 5, 2010 – 12:16 am

Walking in to the school all cold and sleepy I really did not dread going back too much, surprisingly! Yes, of course I would of been just as happy staying curled up in bed and sleeping for a few more hours but school is something I must do and finish. Realizing that 2010 is the year I graduate and I am out forever makes me want to just go and get through it. Before I know it I will be out. Woohoo!

Hold On To Time

December 17, 2009 – 11:38 pm

Running and jumping on the playground at my elementary school is a memory that seemed to happen just yesterday. I started out as a Kindergartner there and now I am senior in the high school. It makes me realize how time can go so fast and the memories that you keep. My favorite memory from being in the elementary school is the parent visit day in 5th grade. My mom came in my class and was sitting next to me when she said we are going to visit this dog up for adoption. I can still feel the big grin I made on my face that day and it is an unforgettable memory since the dog she told me about became part of my family and Mills will never be forgotten.

Time flies by and memories are made, but I am going to recommend trying to hold on to time as long as possible. Dont just let it pass. Endure it. Do something before you lose the time to make memories. Memories are important to have to make us alive and to share with friends and family. You might regret not using the time right in the past, but do everything you can now that will make good memories for you.
