Ugh Monday.............

Happy Monday Everyone!!!
 You know when you wake up Monday morning and all you can think of is this..........

You know you are tired; but your teacher says Buttress is class and all you can think of is Beavis & Butthead.....................

"hehe hehe; she said Butt!......haha Ya!"  *sigh* 

Boy how much I disliked that show back in the day; yet I can't help but think of them from time to time.   On a side note; I did not realize the Garfield picture was an animated GIF~!!.  Alright; Monday got a bit better haha.  Thank you Garfield; I knew you were one of my favourite cartoon characters for a reason :)
So start off; I have to say that I am very touched by the reaction of some people to my current situation.  I kind of have been ignoring facebook for the last little while; as I have been trying to concentrate on my schooling as well as dealing with things back home and my current situation over here.  Not to mention I am still having to deal with tutoring and my TA sessions for the school.  What I saw when I logged in last night was a bunch of people sharing my story and asking their friends and family to help out if they.  I cannot say how much I appreciate it and how warming or soothing it is to the soul to see such a response.  What is even more impressive is the generosity of some; I would never judge on the amount given for any charitable situation; what may seem like nothing to one person may very well be quite a bit of money to another.  So I thank everyone for their donations and I will definitely keep you posted as things progesss but as of right now; according to my ChipIn page I have raised: $1,265~!!!!  One person donated $500 and a couple of my friends donated $100us.   Plus a couple of the people I tutor also made quite generous donations to my cause.  Just really amazing and I thank you; and I thank all of you for your donations and the time you have put in on behalf of my cause.   On top of the random facebook posts all over the place of late, my girlfriend and one of her better friends have been apparently writting to the Ellen Degeneres show to try and get my story noticed by her.  Apparently she provides aide to worth people in need.  I cannot say that I am in more need than some amazing people out in this world who are probably in a worse situation than myself; as I would not like to compare the cost of my educational future to the cost of just pure living but still it would be quite impressive and amazing if Ellen did not me and did look into my situation to help me out.  Plus on top of it; I just love Ellen; i think she is hilarious and I think it would be pretty friggin awesome to meet her in person.  Although I know she is a very busy person; so I guess a check would do just as well haha ;)

Speak of the Devil; okay not really because it is not like a bad thing has shown itself just as I was talking about the situation.  Mini-subject change, but have you ever met someone that uses those types of expression poorly or just waaaaay out of context?  what i find even more humeous is that most of the time they have been saying that way for a long time and no one has ever corrected them.   Anyways; my apologies; so what i was saying intially; just as I was mentioning my gf and writting to the Ellen Degeneres show; my friend Nely write me on Skype and say to me: "hey hope u dont mind. i signed you up for this: http://www.ellentv.com/be-on-the-show/433".  What are the odds?  Plus once again I am touched deeply and no not in the way some of your dirty minds may be heading but in the way of just feeling overwhelmed with the way people are reacting around me.  I expected a bit of a response but I did not expect the internet to explode with my name all over the place.  Ive said it before and I am sure I will continue to say for it some time to come; but thank you so much to everyone for your time, effort and money :)

Hence my past last night on FB was "Just logged onto facebook after being AFK for a couple of days to see messages posted left and right about my current situation. From the bottom of my heart; thank you to everyone for the effort you are making on my behalf. I cannot say how touched I am. Thank you :)".  Which I cannot say enough and that will increase exponentially the more funds I raise for my cause.  

Unfortunately every time I plan on logging into my blog and plan on talking to you about my past experiences at this school; I end up side tracking about something else and then feel as if it would be too much to start talking about my experiences after babbling for the last little while about other topics.

That being said it is Monday; I will hopefully be done all my tutor and TA session by Thursday; I still have to write like a 2000word essay for December 13th about my VIDA trip to Guatemala as it was paid for by SCAVMA (our student school body); hence I need to write about my experiences while on the trip or else I'll have to pay the money back to school; which obviously I cannot do :P   So this week will be a bit for me; but I will try and post a little mini-something later on in the week just giving you an update.  Once our final exams are over (last one is on December 13th); I should have plenty of time to tell you about all of my amazing experiences on and off this island.

Until then; have a great day everyone and hope to blog again soon :)

Just because it always puts a smile on my face :)

 Much love!
