Whoa... What happened to March?

It seems that time is being all sneaky again and going a lot faster then I want it to. Fortunately I think it's because I've been having a wonderful time. Just to sort of sum things up school has been going really well and I actually only have two more weeks left. (Eeeek... FINALS!!) I don't believe I've ever officially announced this via my blog, but I've been dating someone for about 3 months now. Life in that aspect is moving along quite well, although he's out of state for a few months. *cry* I've worked at Ross for a year now (yay! *with lots of sarcasm*) Hmm... think that pretty much covers it.

Anyways, enough about the past month or so, let's talk about now!


The Children are our Future

My English class this semester has been amazing. We were assigned to pick a topic to write about for the whole semester. Most of the essays we've written have been really good mental exercises I think, but that's not what I'm getting at.
The topic I chose was unexpected pregnancy. I know quite a few people who have become pregnant unexpectedly and their situation isn't always the best. We had to research our topic and find sources to try to find answers to our questions and through my research I realized how grim the situation is.
I'm not entirely sure what all can be done about this problem... but I think there is something that can be done. This assignment has just really inspired me to open my eyes to the world and try to help our fellow man... "brothers and sisters"... whatever you want to call it. We're here together and I think it's important to help each other. I think the point i'm trying to make is to open your minds and think about what we can do as individuals to make the best future we can. Afterall, these pregnant women are carrying our future. Shouldn't we try to help them?
If you have any ideas, please leave a comment. And if you want to know more, I'd be happy to share some of the essays I've written or the sources I've found.
Let's do our part!
