Aquarius

1/20 – 2/18

Overview

The beginning of the year isn't the only time that you get to make resolutions about your life. If you want change, there is no time like the present! It's a good day for making a fresh start, for turning over a new leaf, and for putting bad habits behind you. You shouldn't wait any longer -- especially if you feel the urge to change now. You have clarity, which isn't always going to be the case. So cut out the bad and start focusing more on the new.

the shape of my heart.

im too lazy today, and also really busy hating my roomate.

I am working at a boy scout camp for the first 6 weeks of summer and I am so excited! I would make more money working at Calhouns, but it will be totally worth it.

Squatting is the act of occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building, usually residential^[1], that the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have permission to use. Squatting is significantly more common in urban areas than rural areas, especially when urban decay occurs. According to author Robert Neuwirth, there are one billion squatters globally, that is to say about one in every seven people on the planet.^[2] Yet, according to Kesia Reeve, "squatting is largely absent from policy and academic debate and is rarely conceptualized, as a problem, as a symptom, or as a social or housing movement."^[3]

I think this is awesome, and would be reallly interested in doing it. Maybe next summer? I think id like it too much and never finish college. 

the end.

new ideas.

Since i've gotten my little journal, I bring it everywhere with me and its actually making me more productive. Its interesting to say the least. I want to make my online blog more interesting also, so i had a few ideas. 

Im going to get some interesting news, a quote, an interesting lyric from a song, one way to go green, and maybe a good vegan recipe.

All I need to do now is try to update this daily, or even weekly. Ill make an effort. 

"Some Hope for Financcial Aid in a Bad Economy"

The good news about tuition: With help from federal stimulus money, some public colleges will manage more modest price increases as they drastically cut spending. Maryland will try to freeze in-state tuition for a fourth straight year. Others will keep it closer to their usual increases, like Kentucky, with increases set for between 3 and 5 percent.

Buy food locally. Farmers markets make a good place to shop. It insures that the veggies your eating are fresh, and the salad your eating didn't travel thousands of miles to reach your plate. It cuts down on fossil fuels and ultimately reduces levels of pollution and resource depletion.
