April 13, 2014: Great Weather, Great Attitude

Good Morning,

Some things have changed since last posting. The weather has gotten so much better which makes me even more happy. Also, the dog we had named Ziba has found a new home. I thought that I really wanted her but now that it has been some time, I have realized that it really would have been too much work. With out her, we kind of just went back to normal. Now we have all the time in the world with Wrinkles and her new owners are our friends so they told us we can visit her when we want, so its not really like she is gone because we get to visit her. I am very happy for her because the update that we got from her new owners was that she already is starting to get attached to them which is great and she is playing a lot with her new older "brother" (they have another smaller dog). It was bitter sweet to give her away but in the long run, I know its better, so I am very happy.

Easter is in exactly one week and I am so excited because I have decided to make a 3-D lamb shaped cake. I have never done anything like this but I am going to try. I am also excited to decorate it because I am planning on learning how to make fondant decorations which I will use on the cake.

Besides the happiness behind Easter, it is also a sad time for my family and I. As I have said in my previous posts, my Grandfather passed away in September and this Easter will be the first with out him. Its going to be hard but we have to get through it so that we can remember him from the times we have had with him. We are all going to miss him but I know he is looking down on us and I hope he is proud of what we have been doing and how we have become.

Today I am going to be going to my aunt's beach house for the first time in the warm weather we are having. I have been there before but the weather was cold and was definitely not like the weather today. Hopefully we have a good time and make more memories.

I am going to try and post more often because it seems to help with my emotions because lately I have been bottling them up inside and its good that I can let them out in my posts.

That's all for now but I will probably post later on and talk about how the day went.

Talk to you all soon,
Hannah

April 8th, 2014: I just need to let it out

Its been a while since posting on my blog, I actually think that this is the first post in 2014. So much has happened, again I am finding that I don't know where to start.

I am officially at a new school (Middlesex County College), and I am happier than ever. Even if this school is a community college, its better than Fairleigh Ridiculous and it is a perfect place to start over. The professors here care more and the kids are so much nicer. My first semester here (2nd semester of college) is already almost over. It is amazing how much time has passed. I feel as if I am on the right path unlike at Fairleigh Ridiculous where it was definitely the wrong choice and I highly recommend people that are thinking of applying to FDU to reconsider because it is not what it seems. Don't be fooled by the first visit and orientation, that was my mistake. As my mom and I were taking a tour of the school, I remember saying how great it seems but that was all their plan. Its like false advertising, they said they are such a almighty and grand university but they are anything but. Some of their faculty definitely should not be working with people especially the Dean of Students. OMG was she a miserable mess that should not be in contact with people. That is all I am going to say about her because if I say more, than there are going to be some choice words.

Anyway moving on from the hell that is Fairleigh Ridiculous, lets talk about other things.

Unfortunately, one of my aunts on my dad's side passed away the day before my birthday. She passed away on January 27, 2014. She was the greatest aunt anyone could ask for. She treated me as if I were her daughter and stood up for anyone deserving. I took the honor of putting together two picture boards for her service, one of which had a poem that I wrote for her. As I was doing the poster boards, it brought back so many great memories which will help with the coping of her death. I will definitely truly miss her and I hope she is in a better place because she was truly an angel.

To a more positive note, my dad brought another dog home. At first my mom and I didn't want her but she ended up in our house and we have had her since this morning. She is a 5 month old Pit bull puppy that we named Ziba, but she is not the type you think. My mom and I were very shocked because she was the sweetest thing ever. At first we had a woman look to see if she wanted her because we didn't think we could handle it since we already have a dog, cat, new fish tank and pond. But the woman that came to see her actually convinced us to keep her. I was so excited to have another dog and a little "sister" for Wrinkles (my 3 year old Shar Pei). But unfortunately it was decided after a few days since we decided to keep her that we would give her away to the same lady. I thought it would be good since it would be less work and less headache for my mom but now I regret agreeing to give her away. I feel as if I made the wrong decision, now I am missing her dearly. I know that at the home she will be going to, she will have a great life with lots of love and hugs and kisses but I didn't expect to feel this way. I didn't think I would get so attached to a new dog. Before coming to school this afternoon, I made sure to say bye to her with lots of hugs and kisses. The sad part was that as I was saying bye to her, I realized that that was the last time I would be able to feel her soft fur and play with her. She was so lovable and playful and was so good to Wrinkles. What made me upset was before I put her in the crate so I can leave my house, she fell asleep on top of Wrinkles and then Wrinkles fell asleep next to her. Wrinkles really loved her too, he would play with her all the time. Especially outside, they would run around my yard together and jump on each other, it was so sweet. Now we wont have that anymore, and I really am upset but I am afraid it is too late. Today is her trial day with her new family and their dog, if the two dogs get along, then its done, shes with them permanently. I am secretly hoping that they wont get along so we could keep her but since she is such a sweet dog, I fear that that wont happen. I really do hope that she gets a permanent home but I hope that that permanent home is with us. Until tomorrow, I wont know and I will definitely update everyone.

Until then,
Hannah
P.S- Lets hope Ziba gets to stay with us.
