We have moved to a new place the old place could not decide what our rent was supposed to be each month and each month it was something different, we now live close to Hilliard in a very nice and quiet community, no more neighbors fighting all night, and no more hearing our neighbor thunder across the floor at all hours of the night. RJ seems to be much happier here as well and we have a beautiful lake view. We downsized as the economy and my job seem to push for we are now in a one bedroom apartment but it is very nice. I will post more about it in the next blog but for now on to other issues!
I have been working a lot and it seems if I am not working I am out doing something to keep busy, I have decided recently that I will go back to school, I am not sure exactly where I want to go or what I want to major in but I need to decide soon. I got my FAFSA finished and my EFC is 000! YAY that is a little light in the tunnel, but still a little lost on my direction. Part of me says go to a school like Bradford of Columbus and get a certificate/diploma in an area that I am interested in and the other part of me says to go to CSCC and get some core courses out of the way and get a degree from a college, I am definitely looking at the financial aspect as well since I cannot afford much of anything out of pocket for it right now.
I am considering a major in Political Science but I also would like to maybe get a Bachelors in Business Administration or maybe go for computer sciences and do something with computers the ideas are up in the air right now. I do know that I want to get out of restaurant management, the pay is just not there and I do not think that my heart is in it anymore. I want to do more with my life and I want to be able to enjoy being comfortable with my job and my pay. I want to be able to go out and splurge a little without trying to change my lifestyle.
Now my rant for the week, does it seem like our country is being over run by immigrants or what? Now do not get me wrong I am all for a better life for anyone, but it seems as if everywhere I go now all I see is foreign nationalities, I understand that this is supposed to be a cultural melting pot but I think the pot is about to boil over! For example, my sister who has two beautiful and intelligent girls was receiving government assistance for rent and food stamps, recently she decided to leave the government housing to make things better for her and her family, with that change she has to work more and that is a good thing, she is doing the right thing and being responsible and working for what she gets however she don't work a full 40 hours a week, it is just not available where she works, and she makes a lower wage, however when she got a re-determination on her benefits they told her that she will only get medical insurance for the two kids and nothing else! So lets see she goes from $24 a month rent with govt assistance to $585 with ZERO assistance and she is now told that she makes too much to get help with food for her family because she wants better! There was people doing drugs outside in front of her old apartment and the places did not have good maintenance but because she wants better and is trying to do better we are going to punish her, we should reward that as a society! SO many people want to "work the system" and do nothing for it and expect more to do less but when someone wants to do their part to make things better we knock them down and make life harder, come on lets help OUR people and stop telling everyone that even if you are not a legal citizen we will help you and we will provide for you! Its time we take care of our own people and tell the illegal immigrants and the other immigrants that if you want the "American Dream" here you go, here it is, WORK FOR IT! This is not the land of the Freeloader! It is the Home of the Brave and the land of the FREE!! If you do not want to come here and do your part and be a productive member of our society, PLEASE FEEL FREE to LEAVE! We are taking care of enough people and we cannot take proper care of the ones who are here we do not need you to come here and ask what we can do for you, we need you to come here and ask what you can do for us! We need innovation and ingenuity not laziness and more children to support because you do not believe in BIRTH CONTROL!!!
OK so I think that I have vented enough for today, I encourage you to PLEASE COMMENT on my blog and tell me what you think, share your ideas, because that is what makes things better, the collaboration of friends, family and community, whether it makes an impact or not we can be heard and we can share with each other to help with a better understanding. Maybe I have closed my eyes to ones views and only opened my eyes to mine but this is how I feel and without more information and other views and ideas that is what it is my opinion whether it it right or wrong is up to interpretation but I want to see some other view points I will not get angry I might argue my side but that is what is great about AMERICA is the ability to do so FREELY!
