Years Ago Today

Lovelies it's been a busy week... 
Today's post is going to be about what I did on this day January 21st in 2010. 
I write in journals so I can time travel kinda haha...
Thursday January 21, 2010
Time evades me. Brie and I were talking tonight on Facebook, and I've decided to sue the economy... haha long story. I painted for three hours today and it was amazing. I dropped my math class, the teacher wasn't good, and I replaced it with government. It seems like it will be easy. I went to that class yesterday and surprise! Jenny, my old friend and past coworker, was in that class which is awesome! She sat by me and we caught up! I've missed her. I'm glad we have a class together.
Jenny is going into elementary ed too. She said everyone she knows and all of her family keep telling her she's crazy and shouldn't. They say she won't make enough money. She's going to do it though because she loves it and money isn't everything. Plus she said she's going to move and she'll make a decent living. That's the same situation as me. That talk really helped me realize how true that is. You should go into a career you'll love. That's what matters. You must be passionate about what you do.
It's awesome because I have friends in all of my classes. There's... Brooke in painting, Hannah in film, Jenny in government, Tyson in biology, Chelsi in art, and all of the kids in my bio lab are nice. My schedule is incredibly busy and takes up all my time pretty much. It's overloaded, but I love it.
Jordan (little sister) got a dog today. I can't believe mom let her. Mom truly spoils her the most. Mom wouldn't let McHale and I have animals or go on American Heritage or get only a slap on the wrist for stealing her brand new car without a license (which we never did but we got in trouble for silly things!). Two words=favorite child. Jordan now has a purebred shih tzu name Kiya. Kiya is adorable though.

One Year Ago Today 11/12/10

This is me--one year ago.
A little bit about a year ago...
Apparently I had a severe allergy attack with hives everywhere.
I hoped I didn't have to take an EpiPen shot but though I probably would have to.
A conversation about this ensued on Facebook in response to the above.
Dakota- "I am soooooo sorry that totally sucks."
Lacey- "):"
Mason- "BENADRYL!!!"
Me- "Yes Benedryl saves my day. No shot for me. Hahaha but I'm totally drowsy like the movie Hitch when Will Smith has to drink a bottle of Benedryl with a straw cause he's swollen up. I had to take like a whole bottle because it was so bad but it worked :)"
Andrea- "My allergies have been driving me insane today. Nothing like you... that's just crazy, but I'm ready to claw my eyes out from the itching so damn bad and my nose is running and itchy. Thinking I'm gonna have to run to the store and grab Benadryl."

These were the quotes I posted on Facebook on 11/12/10
"Courage is not the absence of fear, it's just the realization that something else is more important than fear."

"Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky."

Haha I know this post was incredibly random but it's fun sometimes to look back at where you were a year ago.
Where were you and what were you doing a year ago lovelies?
With Love,
Charley Brooke
