Everybody knows about the death of Steve Irwin by now, I'm sure. But I'm bringing it up again. He was a huge idol to me. I can remember back when I was much younger I told my mom I was going to marry him. smile Anyway, recently I've decided I'm going to study Animal Ecology and Environmental Studies at ISU and later go on to pursue a graduate degree. The recent death of such a famous and hard-working conservationalist has just strengthened my desire even more to get out there and get involved and work my a** off like he did. I want to step up and put myself in his place and get things done. He was amazing, I hope to live up to even a fraction of what he did in his life.

Oi. This month has been utter confusion. I have so much going on its not even funny. I have a job, I'm trying to find a new job. I'm pressured to figure out my student loans and praying everything will go through and get worked out by the end of this week so I can afford books and rent. I'm near tears 80% of the time because I'm so stressed out.

I also realized I have an 8am class. I'm not happy about that. I didn't even pay attention when I registered and now I'm going to hate my life for the next semester every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This is B.S. Ugh. Then I have another class directly after that at 9am. I see this all ending very badly...

And, to top it all off I can't find my freaking glasses. I feel blind everywhere I go. I hate it. It grinds my nerves to not be able to see as clearly as I should and puts me in a bad mood all day. Ugh...
