What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.I'm originally from Maine, but loving it here (save for the crazy drivers)I have a new found love of learning and I'm really enjoying my Government class. I can't believe it, but I think I'm leaning more toward the conservative side. Working full time, and going to school part time in the evenings. I LOVE my job. I work with adults that have autism in a day program where I'm learning a lot. I have weekends off and am always out of work by 4 pm. It can't get much better than this. Kyle and I have been together for four years, living together for two and a half. I love the beach, going for drives, the Red Sox and beer. Travel, art, reading and making jewelry are hobbies. I have a bit of hick in me, although I didn't grow up in the country I really enjoy campfires and four wheeling. But I enjoy being in the city equally as much and always welcome friends who want to come down and explore Boston with me. I have an older brother, two step brothers and a stepsister. I love them all and love hanging out with them. They're amazing. My dad is my hero and my biggest supporter. My mom lives in Florida and I miss her a lot. I wish I could get all of my friends in one place just for a night. I miss them. Oh, and I hate ketchup. That is all.

Taking the damn day OFF!

Earlier this week, I realized that I am exhausted. Although I don't carry a full course load at school (only three courses) that's a lot because I work full time on top of it. So I decided to take the...

Walking on eggshells in your own country.

I know most of you have heard this story, but I’d just like other people to weigh in on this. A couple of weeks ago in my government class, we were discussing the rights of immigrants, deportati...
