Its been quite a while since I have posted. I really havent felt like writing... at all. I am not sure even what to write now. Life has been alright lately. I enjoy my job and everyday seems to be a new challenge. Sometimes I seriously have no idea what to say to these kids when they share some off the wall opinion or depressing trauma.
I definitely need to read more. I have found out I am more of a "let's fix it type of person" than a consoler. I feel like an idiot when I have nothing else to say but... Oh. I have been doing well in not taking my job home. I do get sad but I try to listen to music and that usually distracts me quickly. I also love to drive... lol I think I that is distracting in itself with the crazy drivers I have protect myself from. Old people on their cellphones in big Lincoln cars... grr!!
I use to come home and share snippets of things to my sister but then I would feel overwhelmed because I felt like I can't possibly change anything... I don't live with the kids to remind them to take their meds or motivate them to do something productive. The best advice I got from my sister was to make each day the best for them. My role is to give them a couple of hours of positivity and safety they may not receive at home.
Today we made altered journals. I bought children's books from a second hand store and an artist came in and explained what to do with them and such. The kids started showing a lot of negative things they are into and I mean it's an idea of what is sort of going in there. I just hope in a few years they look back and laugh or rather cry about what they thought was cool but accept that actually it was incredibly detrimental...
We had the superintendente visit this week. It went well and my congregation is working well also. We have a lot of young people so it's good news that everything is running smoothly and lil drama. And the drama there is I hope in time is addressed... people who are such posers annoy me.
Change is the only constant

Hola
Wow... so I have pretty much abandoned this place. Well here goes the update. I came back from the Dominican Republic on June 16th. I had the best time I have ever had in DR. For one thing I didn't get sick like I usually do on long stays over there. I havent had so much fun since I was 9. I did a lot of preaching. I went to the Canoa resort. It had Taino art as decor. I love TAINO art a lot. I can't explain why.
I stayed at Bethel for two nights. It was a very amazing experience. The brothers were so funny and down to earth. Most of them knew English already. My cousin has worked in Bethel in DR since its construction. He works with distributing the literature to Haiti and the country. It was very good to have spent time with him and his wife because prior to this visit, I really didn't know how to talk to my coz like dang he is a Bethelite... what do I say? But when it comes down to it... he is family and he is just as funny and cool as my other cousins. So finally I looked at him as a coz.
I stayed with his mother who is a pioneer. I love my Tia a lot. She is so cute and helped me a lot. I plan to pioneer auxiliary next month. And I have to hand in my Regional Construction application. HOWEVER, the brother in charge of that had surgery so ... woopdeedoo... my congregation has only one elder. It's pretty sad. and the second is stuck in bed. Brothers need to step up cause it aint like there is a lack of brothers that are equipped...
I met lots of people and that is exactly what I wanted to do. Providence was stressing me out with the same dumb issues and the same people with their same insignificant problems. When I came back to the States I was more conscious on not wasting things like food and water and electricity. Those things are pretty limited to DR citizens cause of the government inadequate structure and lack of organization.
Oh and the driving is bananas over there. they are animals pretty much... everything illegal here is normal over there... lol.
I guess I just wanted to update a little. I am sleepy and I need to get up early. I started my new job on Monday and I am working where I interened last summer. So I am pretty happy... :)~ I went bowling today... holler!
Be back later,
Daisy

less than a month away
I have less than a month away to graduate... yay! I had an amazing weekend. The talent show went very well. and I can not thank the sister enough to have put it together. I should definitely plan to give her some sort of gift. I absolutely enjoyed participating this year and the sweat and time was all well worth it.
I took some great pics of the makeup my sister had done on me... America's Next Top Model BABY! lol... Piano went pretty well for our first time. Iony didn't freak out like she thought she would but I sure DID for the beginning! lol ... i had to get my mindset right. Playing piano is just like dancing in front of people... dont notice or pay attention to anyone. Pretend you are by yourself and feel the music. So definitely a growing experience and all I could do is take the lesson with me until next year... :) i got so nervous though that I lost my appetite. Meat tasted extra greasy to me... ugh! i love good meat! so yea, I am so thankful for Iony too for having encouraged me to take piano a year ago... :)

2 MONTHS TILL GRADUATION!!!!!!!!
I think I am gonna drop an art class. I can't concentrate for it. It's photoshop stuff and I just feel like I have no talent juice for it... instead of fun it's just stressful... :/ I have never had to drop a class but I think I should listen to my instinct... It's way toooo long, 6 to 9:45 pm.... boooo!!!! I dont think I need it... I am taking 5 classes, so yea, I can definitely be doing something else. I use to give Bible study on Tuesday nights but her mom took it away cause she was doing bad in school and just a slacker. But April I would really like to do auxiliar. So yea... I think I made up my mind... ooooooooh I dont know... I really wanted to learn Flash. ugggh!!!!!!!

this semester sucked, when i expected so much for myself... i have horrible time management skills. or it can be senioritis that i have not realized has creeped up to me.
i want to get out of Providence soon too see something else. I am having a lot of negative thoughts. but I know that I get like this when I am PMSy. I have to catch myself and re-analyze... i am stressed out and have broken out recently... like eww.
one more semester to go ... and i have no idea where i am going/doing after it's done. i KNOW i have to incease my preaching hours. i have been doing like 20 hrs for the past three months. I have 6 Bible studies and three are consistent every week. I NEED to help my mother get on a more organized spiritual track. she definitely still in limbo.. I DUNNO WHY.. but definitely still not being proactive on her own. I should do auxiliary next month. I have vacation till the 23rd of Jan. and not working a lot of hours.
i HAVE to cook more often during vacation so she can relax. and I NEED to set an hourly schedule for myself and STICK to it. I am going to be a special pioneer someday and ask God to PLEASE help me get there. I want to be a regular pioneer and then make enough money here to stay a month or two in a Latin American country.. excitement. And NOO I dont think I need a man to get there... whatever Merwin... i was analyzed by merwin about my situation with Andrew (the brother I dated early this year)... which annoyed me the next day. i have been a complicated fool this whole month probably the whole year and when someone else throws in their ideas about how I should think without actually knowing my present circumstances and especially at a seriously random time throws out their opinions ... it annoys me. i have other things to do... i dont want to get married right now and i dont feel like I have a connection with Andrew. Gosh man, he is awesome, has wonderful qualities but I am like well ok... umm and... or like not drawn.. i just dont know myself yet. dont love myself yet ... it was a mistake to get into it but DUUUUUDE it was only a few months.... it wasnt A YEAR!!!!! so seriously man... i dont understand the o my goodness cant live with you type vibe i am getting... grrrrrrrrrrrr... i want to dig a hole and stay there
i hate the cold. it makes me feel lazy. i sleep too late and cant wake up early enough on thursdays..
christmas is a really dumb holiday.

What does your handwriting say about YOU?
The results of your analysis say:
You like to be surrounded by four solid walls.
You are a social person who likes to talk and meet others.
You are diplomatic, objective, and live in the present.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You enjoy life in your own way and do not depend on the opinions of others.
COOOOL

I am sorry ya'll if I havent been updating... I have finals and garbage to get done for the next two weeks. :( ... so if you defriend me, i understand. but by mid december, i hope to be back with full force... hehe.
our brand new circuit overseer is coming for the week of the 13th... exciting, yes!
i have pictures of a formal I went to back in thanksgiving weekend. the music was wack. I want to be DJ, so be prepared. brothers dont like to pay though so i dont know how that is gonna work. if i get some decent equipment i dont have to charge in the beginning of my career. wait are girls not suppose to dj or host parties cause they are females? i know they wouldnt give the prayer but DJ and MC a party i think that is a different story right?
ok... i will have better entries later...
my bad

i gave the lion king tickets i won from the "raffle" to lisa... she almost cried. she doesnt own a tv in her house. her son wanted to be a tree. he is a 3 yr. old kid who didnt want to be spongebob or spider man or harry potter but A TREE ... she is a good mom. i dont think i won fairly. i never win anything so the fact i won and the fact that the weird dude who was part of the raffle process is giving me cues that he likes me (bAARF) and the fact he said it was fixed reasserts my thinking it was fixed cause who knows what he was thinking in his small brain if I knew he fixed it.. (BAARF) i am sure it was a joke his comment but it just seemed too unreal...
i called corrine and she does not pick up. i hope her father is well or at least better. gosh life just sucks...
i commented twice today. i only do like one in the big meetings because i get really nervous and my mind is trying to search for words in spanish that sound like myself in english.. fwwooo I do not like to read my comments either. but i like to let it flow... and i will work for more each meeting ... i will work to my fullest potential.
i chilled with my sister after meeting ... we are going to sell our furniture online on some site that isnt ebay... and we are going to paint and redecorate the top floor to the bottom... my house is just gross. there are going to open an IKEA in MA. YAY!!! and we are just gonna go wild there. :)
i need to go to bed.. my brother is calling it a day n the comp is right next to his sleeping chambers.
bye

Wow... my procrastination is sooo bad... I could do my work right now and not worry about it Thursday night... BUT ... I am a horrible human being and it seems like I can not manage to complete my work days ahead... It's like there is this force working against my fingers and brain to concentrate enough on the task. Oh goodness... I have really damaged myself.

Today I have 5 years baptized... incredible.
I just think of the changes that have gone in the congregation. Crazy... the young people that use to go with their families. Most of them are out. The brothers that I got baptized with are still alive and kicking spiritually. I think that is awesome. People have moved away... Florida mostly... blah to Florida.
Well for now... I really want to go to the international asamblea some day. So I am going to pray to Jehovah that I can prepare myself to pioneer next September when by that time I have a regular job. You need 5 years under your belt to even consider it. I know before it was like some crazy like 10-15 yrs. Whoa... So yea would love the priviledge to GOOOO!!!!!!
I want to preach somewhere of need some day... I started saving money a while back. My cousin Cecilia got her letter of places she can go... YAY! Some congregations in Ohio and one in West Virginia. YAY! I am excited for her.
I talked to my friend Ebony the other day from detroit... we always talk way too long. haha... Can ya'll please give a holler to the sister people, her username is ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
blaqgurl ... she is soo cool and spiritual and her friend's list is poor.
I chatted with my cousin yesterday the one that married a brother from Finland. I want to go to FINLAND!!!! I mean I have no idea what point of interest is over there but I would like to travel Europe and such... COOOOOOL! I am going to go the YMCA gym with my mom!!! YAY.... and they have aerobic classes... I can't wait!!! I feel like I need to burn some energy. I miss gym class a whole lot. And well, I am at my internship so I need to get some work done...
have a wonderful weekend.
