College Life, mid semester

When I'm not working UT Tyler's call center, vlogging, in my sexual health education internship, sleeping (if I'm lucky)- apparently I am galavanting along the countryside visiting my family, friends, and attending classes for my future career!

Though I despise driving, I do not regret one bit everything I am traveling to go do, but I am missing out on live music out with my friends. I went to visit some people related to me in Oklahoma, and I mostly shared a meal with each, running to my next brunch or lunch at all my favorite places. It was good to visit home.

I hardly got to see my friends! I drove back and worked here the same day, training the New Kid on the Blog! School has me swamped. Yesterday, I ran my Stress Free Event, and "Stress Free" events can be stressful!

I am spreading myself thin here. :(

My personal scheduling solution? Google Calenders.

Road Trip Safety

     It was New Years Day in 2011, when Katie Horn, an aspiring Math teacher,  made her way back from a trip to Austin, TX. Miss Katie took that weekend trip to Austin to see her older brother, and had to drive back a little too late. The long road was dark, and she couldn't see too far in front of herself. She hit a hog. Yeah, you heard me- she almost totaled her car by hitting a giant pig. She got stuck in the middle of nowhere.
     Because Katie was on this trip alone, she went to call for help. Her cellphone was dead, and she had no car charger. She kept on her lights for safety, and her battery died. She had to make a paper sign that read 'HELP ME' in scribbled pen because that is all she had.
