I’ve always been a big fan of collecting things. When I was little, my parents helped me build the stuffed animal collection that later grew to more than five hundred stuffed animals. Some of those included the first editions of the entire Care Bear collection, and I have all of the first edition Dalmatians except for Lucky. As I got older, I began to collect key chains in addition to that. I’ve also garnered quite an impressive video game collection, seeing as how I kept all of my favorite childhood games. But I’ve been sitting here, trying to think of something that might be easier for me to collect as I grow older. If it can be something that can be passed down to my children, and maybe even my children’s children, that would be better!

Not too long ago, one of my friends suggested that I begin collecting postcards. Not only would they be affordable, but I could get them anywhere! A lot of gift shops have nice postcards that are relevant to their locations, so I could probably pick up a pretty postcard at just about every place I’d ever visit. I can get save the date postcards, ones from the Alamo since I live about an hour from that, or even the San Antonio river walk… the list goes on and on.

Not only did I get a solid B on my last math test, but I got a 102% on my Introduction to the Internet midterm and a 100% on my fitness walking midterm. This pleases me to absolutely no end, because I was somewhat worried that my grades might begin to drop some as my pregnancy continued — but it would seem that just the opposite is occurring! So far, I have an A in almost all of my classes and what appears to be a B in my math one. I haven’t calculated everything that we’ve had to do for that class into my average, but I know that keeping up on the assigned homework has really helped me maintain a nice grade in that course.

If I weren’t already so focused on pursuing the career track that has since become an integral part of my degree plan at school, I might instead opt for something that could quickly make me a lot of money. Whether it was working from the comfort of my own home or being a Property Manager in Cincinnati, I do have a lot of respect for those who take the time out to pave their own way like this. But could I do it as well?

As easy as it would be for me to find an apartment complex or house around here, fix it up and then rent it out to someone else… I’m not sure that my current city is the best place to do that. It seems that a lot of people around here have already gotten that idea, and when considering that this city was only created because of Fort Hood’s growth… I don’t want to be stuck in a lurch with no one renting out my properties when a lot of our soldiers have deployed to Iraq. Attempting to manage property where I live would only ultimately lead me down that road, and it’s not worth waiting for those in our military to come back here once they’ve finished up touring for me to make a lot of money. Like I said before, maybe another location would be better to manage property in…

Apparently Tila Tequila has been attempting to pass this song off as something that she wrote, which makes me lose even more respect for her than I’ve already lost. Over the course of these last few months, she’s also been proven inconsistent about the length of her pregnancy — if she’s even pregnant at all. At what she’s been saying to be four and a half months, she’s not showing at all, and she couldn’t even answer a simple interviewer’s question at one of the Oscars parties about whether or not she was pregnant without stumbling and going, “That’s very personal”. That’s a simple yes or no question. Sometimes there’s a bit of a “bump” in certain videos of hers, but other times there are absolutely none… and she can achieve that by pushing her back forward.
