I just began to go to school AGAIN ( 3rd time). In the prosses of filling for the usual Loans and grants I also have to apply for my VA benifits. When i first looked at this paper work I thought they had sent it in anouther language. I actually needed a translator to help me with this five pages of garbage luckly my sister had already done this so she introduced me to the VA translator and it took her 5 minutes to fill out what I was barrly able to read, I thought " are you kidding me". Have any of you had this problem? I think they makeup the words as they go and you need a collage degree to get a collage degree. And to think I never joined the military. I can just imagen what people in the military have to do to get their collage bennys. I think it has to do with a first born child and standing on ones head while writing and drinking water. I know the paper work that I have to carry in the truck with me when hauling a load for the military, It is taller then the stack of text books I had in high school. to think we could save thousands of trees if the military would just cut their paper work in half. I am not sure what all this will mean to my bank acount but I will find out soon I hope. I start school soon and need to pay for my classes at 1500 dollers a class, all my father says is at least it is not medical school. course I have issues with spit so I dought I would ever be a doctor. Not the point. I was just wondering if every one has problems with this or is I am just nutz and unable to read military lingo. well I have better things to do then chat with no one so chow for now.

I have found a new carreer this will be the 3rd one but who is counting besides the student loan people. Business management., I might even be able to use this one. have you ever noticed that while we have trouble setteling down in our lives we tend to not be able to stick to one type of job eather. I am a certified auto mechanic a welder and I can fix semi trucks. that is if I can lift the parts. I am also an artest a writer and now a business major. this is not counting all the things I went to school for but never finished there was archetect, grafic arts, home decorating, etc. needless to say I jump around a lot at the dismay of my parents. but my father has agreed to lone me the money for a new lap top and that means tha I can combine some of the things into one career. I think? I am still all over the map but who knows maybe this time I will have it figured out. at the very least AI will have a BS in BS that way I can say yes I have a brain. I know I will finish school this time for two reasons 1 I am going to be paying 1500.00 per class and 2 I can do this over the internet meaning I will not be cooped up in a class room. I had to take a two year vacation just to get through high school. So sitting in a class obviously edosen't work for me. the same thing day in and day out can make one do strang things like date morons. any way I will keep you up dates on this new thing.

I think I am nutz. The reason is I still move all over the country, but not like everyone thinks. I am actually dating a long haul truck driver and we travel all 48 states, well we don't go north of PA. there are people up there that seem to think a 72 foot truck will fit on the road in East Syaracuse NY, not to mention the truck is bigger then some of the states up there. Any way the reason I bring this all up is because you would think that I would hate moving, my sister does. I have seen more of this country then most people and I am amazed at how people get cought in their own world and forget about the simpler things in life. I don't know if it is because I am an ARMY Brat or if it has to do with the fact that all my stuff still fits in my dads old army bag. I mean everything from my cloths to my lap top. I also wanted to say that the state of Iowa is still under water and Saint Louis Is still fighting back but the last I knew the arch was all but above water. I think things have gotten better but don't hold me to it. I am in Washington state right now and we are in the boondocks so I have not heard anything about the weather. My boyfriend was in Joplin last night and he said it is raining a lot there. but he is in Dallas tonight. I am on vacation so he is out there on his own. I hate it because it is the same as when dad was gone as a kid, I never know if he is going to come home safe. No he is not getting shot at but have you seen the way people drive today. they are talking on their phone and eating breakfast and doing their hair all while writing down directions and driving as fast as they can cause the PITA's refuse to leave eariler for work. Have you ever noticed that there are not that many trucks on the road when it is rush hour. that is because we hate driving when all the nutz are trying to get home. Just so that you all know the space that trucks leave infront of them that your car fits into is there for a reason. IT IS NOT EASY TO STOP 80 THOUSAND LBS. there are only 10 drum breakes on a semi and they heat up fast. if you take theat space and have to stop suddenly the truck behind you could end up in your back set. beleave it or not trucks can stop on a dime though, but only if they use your car as a drag line. course there will be nothing left of your car but hay the dime is smashed also. Just kidding we try not to run over cars, it ruins the tires and causes a lot of paper work.  the point of all this is that my man is out there and his and your life depend on your actions as well as his. Please put the phones and other stuff down and pay attention to what you are doing I would like him home in one peace ( yes I ment to spell it that way) Give the trucks more room. your life and theirs depend on it.

If you want to know more about trucking send me a message and I will be more then happy to tell you about it. I think that there are no bad drivers out there, I think that people are just not educated enough to know better. I want people to know how to drive safe around semi trucks so that we can all enjoy the beauty of this country that our parents fought so hard for. God bless, drive safe and have a good trip, chow for now.
