Getting involved...

 I don't know what it is about volunteering but I love to do it. I honestly believe it is my calling in life. I like being helpful and going where I can be used. I first started volunteering because I was interested in joining a sorority and I knew that volunteering would be a good thing so I started volunteering at different places when I had time and now I do it because it is something I can say I am passionate about. I am starting to volunteer at a place next month that I wanted to volunteer at years ago but never had the chance, and I started volunteering at the church I attend and I'm thinking about volunteering at another church maybe in the next month or two. I like to go where I feel I am needed and can help out at. We'll see if anymore opportunities come up but the couple places I am helping out at is enough for now. It would be nice to be able to have people to volunteer with. I'm glad my kids can volunteer with me at the church. I tried to get one of my friends to volunteer with me but she always kept coming up with excuses or just didn't want to. I wish I could find some friends that are like me and love to volunteer when they get the chance. I don't have not one friend who I could call and say let's volunteer here or there and they would be happy to do it. Where are the people who like to volunteer? I need those people as friends.

Still waiting...

 So I am still waiting for love to come in my life. I have been single for over 8 years and it still blows my mind that I have been single this long. I believe the LORD has a good man out there for me somewhere I just wish it didn't have to take so long for him to show up. There is one man that I have eyes for right now. It's the guy I have been crushing on since last year and I pray some way some how that he is the man for me. He is actually single which is great because usually men I have a thing for are already in relationships or married. He seems like a great guy but I find it weird that he is still single. He seems like a catch to me and there's is nothing that I don't like about him. He has a lot of great qualities and I love that he's into church. I would definitely love to have a church going man. He's an amazing musician and plays at different places and at his church. I would love to see him play at one of his gigs but I rarely get to have a night to myself to get out the house. The only way I can see him play is at his church but I don't know if that makes me seem like a stalker. I have given up on dating sites because I feel like I have gotten nowhere on them and none of the men really interest me. I'm still hoping love will find me one day. It's been a long 8 years.

Let's hope...

 I can't believe this is my first post of 2021 but I guess life gets away from you. I can say this year hasn't been too horrible. I just finished taking two classes this Summer and surprisingly passed my Statistics class. I am still in shock that I passed because math is not my favorite thing and it seems hard to understand but I passed with a B and it was a six week class. It's weird that I passed one of the hardest classes ever in six weeks and couldn't do it in a whole semester. Now I am waiting for the Fall semester to start in the next week  I am in the home stretch I have 7 classes left. 3 for my degree and 4 for my minor and I'm taking 4 this Fall so hopefully I will be able to get through. The only thing I am worried about is financial aid. If I can't pay for school then I don't see how I am going to finish. I had to do a SAP appeal to get my financial aid back and it got approved thankfully but in the financial aid section it only has about $1700 of financial aid for the semester and obviously that is not enough. I still owe money for the Summer classes I took and what I couldn't pay for last Fall. I just hope there is still some options out there for me or I am going to have to start a GoFundMe page or something. I don't want to give up after all these years of trying to finish and I am so close to being done to have this block me from finishing. I'm going to send an email to financial aid and see if there are any options for me. There's got to be something to help me this is literally my last year. I should be graduating in May. All I can do is hope and pray that everything works out and I can get this figured out and all I will have to worry about is getting through these last classes and not the financial part.
