Well, I'm doing good in this first class of the last half of my bachelors. The class average is is 72.2%, my grade right now is 99.2%... I know I'll stay above 95, but I feel bad that the class average is so low... I understand that people have busy lives, and what not... however I just don't understand how they can be doing so poorly.
Found out one of my lj friends, , has arrived safely in Kuwait, hopefully her year in Iraq goes fast and safe, as she's got someone waiting for her and from what I can tell he's going nuts with her gone and she's only been out of the states for a week or two.
Saturday I learned someone that I don't know had me on their AIM buddy list. Someone from the name IM'd me and I had no idea who it was and said "who are you" they said after a minute that they are "Kristin's sister" I don't know anyone by the name of Kristin (I know a Kirsten, but not Kristin) so I ask something along the lines of "how does your sister know me" after a few more sentenced back and forth I find out that her sister had killed herself on January 4th of this year and that she was now in possession of her computer and had logged onto her name. During all of this I plugged the AIM name into livejournals search bar and found that they had a livejournal, I mentioned the live journal, which her sister didn't know anything about and gave her the link... this was a few minutes before I learned her sister had killed herself. Now I wish I would have read the comments on the last post in the journal before I said anything about it. They were all along the lines of "RIP I'm gonna miss you" and stuff, that would have clued me in they were dead. I don't know if giving her sister the link was good or bad, either way its bad really... but some of the most recent entries showed the signs... her constant references to death and such things as 'when will death come' and what not. Out of respect for the deceased and her family I'm not going to mention the username of the livejournal... however I felt I needed to write about the experience.

I really miss Mila, I know putting her to sleep was the best thing for her (in one week she had gone from being able to chase rabbits around the yard to not even being able to stand up) however I miss her, I wish dogs didn't age as fast, I wish they aged the same as humans. Mila was, as far as I'm concerned, my sister. It is just weird coming home and not having her sitting their waiting for me. It's difficult to sit down and eat becuase she isn't there to beg from you. We still have her food and water dish out, and I keep changing the water out of habit. Everytime the doorbell rings, or someone pages me on yahoo I nearly blurt out the words "it's ok Mila" (any of you that knew her knew the doorbell turned her into some vicious beast, that is , untill you came inside then she was the cowardly lion). It's gonna take a long time to get used to her being gone. She was with us through 3 different houses, she helped me through dad's death... she always listened when I needed to talk. Now all I have left is Bun... and Bun can't return love, all he can do is sit there and be someone to talk to. I want a new pet, however I can't replace Mila so I don't plan on getting a new pet anytime soon.

Bad things happen in three

Well, my '2nd family' moved to Texas yesterday, and I'll never see them again, now I have an enormous amount of free time as I did stuff with them almost every day of the week. Then I got home yesterday to find that Mila can't stand up anymore, she can't get up onto her back legs... she's been having trouble... we had to carry her from place to place yesterday and she'd growl and snap... this morning she bit me when I was trying to help her outside... so its time to put her down *sigh*. Well, bad things always happen in three... one and two have happened, what will three be I wonder.

Well that house isn't going to happen... its very very nice... but... they want 6k$ down just for me to bid (because its a hud)... well 60k would be about as much as I could afford to finance by myself... and I don't have 6k$ for the down payment/earnest money so I can even bid on it... and they've had sevearl investors looking at it in the past few days so it'll go for more than 60k. On another note... my notebook had a few pixels burnt out on it, so I tried to get the screen replaced... and dell is going to replace it for free... pretty cool considering I only found 3 pixels burnt out... however I won't have it back till tuesday (I sent it back to them monday... and they shipped it out again today... and estiamted delivery on the fed ex tracker is the 2nd, which is tuesday... so only 8 days without it... but... I want it back... its so friggin nice out and I could be sitting out side using my wifi to do all of this in the nice weather)
