favorite food

as a child my favorite food was always mac and cheese. i would fight my sister to see who got to pour in the powdered cheese when the noodles were ready.
today my favorite food continues to be mac and cheese for other reasons, its cheap. though the box says its cheesier, it tastes the same as when i was younger. i would say my taste has changed in many other ways.
when i was younger, coffee was gross to me and i promised my parents that a cup of black coffee was one of the most nasty things you could ever drink, i am employeed by a coffee shop today and i am a coffee expert, i know the difference between a cup of kenya and a cup of french roast like the back of my hand, my favorite cup of coffee though is ethiopean fancy with 3 pumps of carmel.

opinion

There are times when i feel like my opinion doesnt matter at all, and some that i feel that it matters the most.
To my friends, i am the shy one, the one that talks only when being spoken to, and only when the time is right. To some people this might annoy them or they might not enjoy having my role in the group, however whenever i do start talking, what i say matters to them, because what i say has meaning to them while the other people in the group might just talk to hear their own voices.
I feel like my opinion matters daily, and to a lot of different people, if it didnt my friends wouldnt be my friends and the people i talk to would have no importance in my life, which they do.

kilometer

the length of the kilometer was greater then that of one mile.

thats pretty much all i could read of the passage.
the other things that i picked up on is that it is in letter format, writen in 1994

january and one month later

so coming from california, i have had to learn about minnesota weather, and by the look of this comic, i would have to agree.
though many say march is actually when most of the snow comes, i think i have seen enough. the fact that everyone keeps saying how minnesotains will wear shorts in 50 degree weather in the spring but when its 50 in the fall they bundle up. weird people i guess. its all about layering.

i cannot wait for this winter to be over! it seems to last a lot longer then every other season here.

view on the world

The movie that changed my world for the bad was John Q.
that movie hits home because of my sisters heart problems and if my sister was ever in the situation where they wouldnt do something becausse of money and would just let her die, i would probably do the same thing that John did in the movie.
our world is about money, it has always been about how people can better their own lives. many people do not look out for others anymore and i think its discusting.
money controls our emtions and it acts like a source of power, its lame and its thin paper. it shouldnt have such a strong hold over the way people live and believe, but it is.

John Q is something that i look at as a reminder to stay true to myself and family and close friends, do what you need to get by and the rest goes to others.

comic

I am not sure if i was suppose to write about the comic that was put up or not, either way i could not read it, the font was to small. i believe it was labeling the parts of the body in a funny obvious way, and in the next slide it is just showing the condence version or whats going on inside.

Weekend

This coming weekend is going to a hard but exciting time for my family and I. sunday is the 2nd annual BAM. last year i was not able to go because i was in california and couldnt get away from classes.
though i think about Brian daily, i think this will be harder then that because this event is in memory of him, on one of his favorite days of the year, super bowl sunday.
Brian died over a year ago and it still shocks me that he is truly gone, visiting the grave is nothing like what i thought it would be. i havent cried while visiting him the last couple times, it hasnt scared me as much as it did before. leaving him on the other hand has been really hard, on his 16th birthday michelle and i left him cupcakes, i wish he could have tasted those that day.
another reason this weekend is going to be so exciting is that my parents are flying in from cali for the event, which in itself is going to be a blast, but they also get to meet el boyfriend for the first time, and that scares the crap out of me.
he is a good guy though so he should pass all of their questions.
overall i think this weekend will once again show how many people really care about Bri and the family, its a time for everyone to come together and just remember the beautiful person as a whole. i am sure it will be hard on Stan and Brenda, also brooke, but we are all going to be there and we have to stick together as a family during these things because some people just dont get that hearing the same statements gets old and even harder to hear "he was a great kid""perfect""loved his smile"
we all know he was perfect with a great smile and a caring heart.

comp expectaions

I expect that through this course i learn how to write better papers, to have the opurtunity to meet new people, and be able to have a person to person relationship with the instructor and not just be a number in the grade book.

Iexpect the instructor to be willing and able to listen to each of his students needs, to be able to answer questions they might have, if he doesnt know the answer right away, he finds the answer or directs the student to where they could find the answer.

I personally expect to get at least a B in the class, the only part that i am worried about in the class this far is the amount of reading that is assigned. I find myself spending all of my time reading for this class and already getting behind in other classes just to finish the readings.

All in all i think this course is going to be helpful, i just need to stay on top of everything.

first blog :)

hola!
my name is Sara, nothing to exciting about the name. my name was going to be Keeley however my grandma could not prononuce it and refused to let me be named that.
I am an identical twin, her name is Michelle and is also 3 inches taller then me, we dont look alike at all but the doctors insist that we are identical.
i was born in St. Paul MN, grew up all over the place, moving nine times thus far in my life, and one of those moves was to the beautiful state of California, which i graduated high school from.
Going to Cali was one of the best experiences that i will ever go through, moving the summer before my junior year helpped me realize who was really going to stick with me as friends and the people that mattered most. California was also the place i found a desire to help people who have given their lives to drugs, alcohol included. my major here is drug and alcohol studies and i couldnt be more excited. i aslo am going to school to be a fire tech (fire fighter) where i might take it as a volenteer later in life. i have always had the desire to help out in anyways and i love a dangerous situation.
i have worked hard to get here, 2 jobs since the age of 15 to pay for a car,gas, spending money,clothes and college. i believe i am doing an amazing job making the dollar go far.
my dreams in life are to go to Bolivia and see the jungles and beaches. i aslo would love to skydive, which i plan on doing over the summer if the job provides me with the money.
this is just a tid bit of who i am, i like to think i live an extraordinary life and because of that, i make each day a blast.
