that this semester is almost over. School officially ends like, the ninth of next month I think. But three of my classes should be over before that even. It's just flown by.

I'm still keeping up with all of my classes, as long as I can pass this next algebra test on tuesday, I think I'll be good. It's the only algebra test I think I've ever not been worried about taking. If I can keep on track for just a few more weeks with Biology then I'll be good to go for next semester.

Speaking of next semester, I've decided to take the majority of my classes online. I took one online class this semester and really enjoyed it. I love being able to work at my own pace and not have a teacher breathing down my neck. The only classes I won't be taking online next semester are a history class on tuesdays and thursdays and then in March a scuba diving class begins, though it's only six saturdays out of the semester. I wanted to take Karate but they only offer it during the summer and I'm not sure if I'll even be here during the summer.

Anyways, in SarahNews, I finally have a car now. It's a '95 Chevy Cavalier and it's a standard. I'm still not great at driving it, but I'm getting there. We also have a new chihuahua mix puppy now. He's adorable and we named him Gambit. I normally don't care for little dogs, but he is just super cute and spunky.
Also, my grandparents told me the other day that I have to find a new home for Riley. I pretty much knew this was coming but that doesn't make it easier. I'm stalling for now but when I actually do have to give him away it's going to blow a huge hole in my happiness bubble that's surrounded me for the past months.

Anyways, on a funnier note, Hyle and I decided to try our hands at making riceballs the other day. We'd been watching Fruits Basket (really cute shoujo anime) and they looked so neat and tasty that we decided to make them in real life. They really didn't turn out horrible, but they weren't what I expected and since we put crab and salmon in most of them, I kind of lost my appetite after almost tossing my cookies from the salmon. I guess I just will never be a seafood person, though I wish I was.

I have also recently learned how to play Texas hold 'em and I really, really love it. I never thought I would care for poker but it's really fun. (When you're not playing for real money that is)

That's pretty much all that's new with me. I like my life most days and though I'm eager for the future to get here, I'm relishing the present for once.
