I'm nervous about starting college. Don't know how it will go as I have to drive myself there. Also, no one in my family wants me to have money for books. Well, actually, they don't even want me in college.So, I started practicing today with driving over there. The poor geese are displaced bec. they drained the pond to start construction on a new building! Debs got a job today.Its only 12 hours but still I might have to drive to school alone.I am really happy for her that she will have a good part time job.She will be working for the county government. I am also nervous about my housing inspection. They do it once a year and I have had to re arrange my home to suit the rules of inspection. It has been really hectic.Jamie is moving the furniture around and Debs is helping with the cleaning and Donna "forgot to come over, woops"she is a real space cadette.She often says "my spaceship hasn't landed yet". I saw Max and Charlotte today.They are so cute together. Max is a westie and Charlotte is a teacup cockerpoo.She is so funny. How tiny she is.Unfortunately, they scampered past me as I was getting out of the elevator so I didn't have any real moments to pet them!:-( I went to the food bank today. They give you a lot of food items that are off brand.It gives me the heebeejeebies. I don't know where it comes from. They have brands that I have never heard of.Also, the farmers markets are starting to kick in some fresh produce which they aren't able to sell.I got mango slices. Last time it was canned mango it was so gross. Ok beggars can't be choosers but I do have some say in my tolerance level and all these canned goods have led me to owning my own food pantry!!You can make up to $78,000. and still be eligible to go to the food pantry. Surprising, eh?I hear they are moving to a bigger location.So thats good. Maybe they are getting more food.At least we didn't get the mussels this time. UGH, how I suffered over that salty food. Back to studying my college website. Talk later and stay in touch everyone. Jewel

Hello, I know that you must be nervous about going to college but just think that it is normal to be nervous. I was nervous when I went. Once you get to going and it is part of your routine, you will be fine. You will do great I know. I don't understand your family not wanting you to have money for your books. You have to have books. If it helps you try putting a stuffed animal in your car so you won't be alone and talk to it as you drive pretend it is your therapist giving you support. Just a thought. Hope the inspection goes well. I am sure it will. Have you watched any good movies? Let me know and thanks for the support you gave me on my journal.
Love, Stella

hey jewel,i so agree with what belle has said,i don't understand parents who won't help their offspring with educational things,your family may have their reasons,but i still think they should encourage you more,when my daughter went to uni,we went through all sorts of hardship financially to help her to stay in her course,the grants here don't cover everything,so we took out loans and sold things to make sure she had all she needed,i hope it all goes well for you,i know you well enough now to know you will give it all youve got to succeed,good luck jewel,love and hugs,helen.
