Well, things have been alright. Lately, I've been working 4-10,though, which has has me exhausted. Thankfully, people have been more polite lately...and getting smaller turkeys. XP Rob also texted me to today. I told him about my dream. Before I actually sent it to him, he was talking about him and this girl he just started dating about two weeks ago have an open relationship. She doesn't care if he has sex with with other girls. He then made a threesome joke. XDDDDD He kinda stopped texting me up until a little bit ago. Now he's just bring the raunchiness. I don't even know why he bothers with other girls if he's only just gonna be intimate with me. Some things never change... It is notable that he made me feel better about not getting into Drexel, which, I was informed of yesterday. They invited me to do dual enrollment with them through CCP, but, I decided against it. I basically felt by suggesting I go to community college, that they were saying I wasn't smart enough for a four year school. I'd rather prove them wrong that cooperate. I am getting a scholarship from Chestnut Hill I decide to go,but, still was hoping I'd be admitted there. I am kinda scared that I don't have what it takes truly to be successful.
Now for your random article of the day "Hitler's Favorite Car Makes a Comeback?" By Dave Graham Dave Graham

BERLIN
(Reuters) – A car expert says he has tracked down Hitler's favorite
Mercedes to a garage near the town that helped the Austrian-born
Fuehrer become a German citizen.
Classic cars specialist Michael Froehlich said he found the bullet-proof touring car after charting its postwar travels from Austria to Las Vegas and back to Munich, where Hitler burst onto the political scene with a failed putsch in 1923.
"It was the best car in the world at the time. Better than the Bugatti, Bentley, Rolls Royce
or whatever," Froehlich told Reuters from his office in Duesseldorf.
"It was his favorite car: the one he used most often, which he used for
parades."
After being commissioned by a Cypriot buyer to find the vehicle, Froehlich discovered it had been bought by a farmer near Braunschweig, where in 1932 local Nazi officials got Hitler a civil servant's job so he could claim citizenship.
"I thought it was an interesting job, but on the other hand I wasn't
too thrilled, because my parents and grandparents suffered greatly
under his regime," Froehlich said of the commission.
The dark blue car, which Froehlich said had spent decades in the basement of the Imperial Palace Casino
in Las Vegas, was recently sold by the heirs of a Munich brewing tycoon
before he traced it "in under two months" to northern Germany.
Froehlich said reports the buyer was Russian were mistaken, and
rejected the notion that past owners of the vehicle with the number
plate "1A 148 461" were admirers of the dictator.
"They weren't Nazis from what I can see, I think it's something they
saw as a business investment," he said. "I can well imagine that an old
Hitler banger has a certain value."
Froehlich declined to name the car's price tag, or give details about
the buyer, but said the 1935 edition custom-made vehicle could fetch
"more than 10 million euros ($14.91 million)."
Though he had not yet had outside confirmation of the car's authenticity, the owner's paperwork left no doubt, he added.
"The Mercedes sales register shows this 770 K model was ordered for the Fuehrer and Chancellor of the Reich in 1935," he said.
Only 88 of the series were ever made and the Braunschweig car showed
all the special modifications made for Hitler, who had to be driven
because he had no "Fuehrerschein" -- a German word made up from
"driver" and "license" -- Froehlich said.
"He was a Fuehrer without Fuehrerschein," he said.
Well, that's all I have for now, Xanga whores. Buh-bye.

It's either Espin-the-Bottle or the now defunct AOL Journals, the latter of which was my blog before this one. The last time I posted on it was 2006 to say that I was on here now.
I'm very comfortable...as long as it's not my parents. Now that I am 17, my mother is becoming more understanding and allowing me to be more open with her without being angry,though. She has no reason to do so anyway, because I'm still a virgin.
There is so much to discuss so I'm going to do it in an organized list format. I apologize for the lack of updates. I was sick and then was without internet until last week.
School -I got my report card on Tuesday. My average is an 86/3.3, with my lowest grade being a 75 in English. It's not because I'm incompetent or anything. I just handed many things in late because of Verizon. We had to do weekly (now bi-weekly) audits about what we did in class and they had to be emailed. Yes, don't tell me I could of done it in school or whatever,but, that isn't always the case. You can't always use the library, my school's internet goes down a lot, and I don't have a library card to use the public library's computers. -I've officially completed my application for Drexel and it is now waiting to be reviewed. Wish me luck that I get in. It is one of my main choices. -On that note, I've also updated my college list, aforementioned obviously included: >California College of Arts >Chestnut Hill College >Colby-Sawyer College > Concordia University >George Fox University >Moravian College >Northland College >University of Maine at Machias I'm not applying to anywhere further ( I've also applied to Robert Morris Unviversity, Chestnut Hill, and Northland.) until I do visits. Most of the deadlines are months away (February-May & beyond), so, I've still got time.
Employment -After weeks of dead-end applications from various employers: >Target >Burger King >Wawa >Sneaker Villa >f.y.e. >Pathmark >Marriot >Petco >Petsmart >Checkers >Pizza Hut >Macy's >Toys R Us >K-Mart I finally work at ShopRite. Though, I was suppposed to start Monday, I didn't until Thursday because of working papers. I get paid $7.35 an hour, have off Tuesday & Wednesday so far, and work 4-5 hours each shift. The only part I don't like about it so far is that I'm always exhausted and sore now. =/ I don't want to quit just yet,though. I haven't even gotten a paycheck. My cousin Devon worked there October 2008-2009 and said it's the worst and that I probably will . Everybody I work with is nice,though, despite the customers not always being. People can be so crabby and rude sometimes. I'm bagging the $200 worth of stuff you just bought to your specifications; the least you can do is grateful. -This guy stopped me on Market Street last Friday about modeling. He is an actual photographer,but, I'm starting to not trust him somewhat. Like, I'm supposed have a professional relationship with this dude and he's asking me on dates and shit. DX
Personal Life -Jimbo and I are like on an official level now. I'm kinda worried I won't get to see him for a while,though. His parole officer showed up at Flossy's house unexpectedly and he was all Xanied up. He had to see her yesterday and I have no idea how it went because I haven't heard from him since right before the weekend. I atleast got to see him before that over Jojo's. We had a pretty interesting moment when he got inspired by Twilight. (Lulz.) -I had pretty interesting dreams last night, the most notable involving Rob. It was weird. I like involved myself with him again, caught him bed with another girl, beat her up by repeatedly punching her in the face to the point of incapacitation, and then compromised with her. I undressed, revealing lingerie like this:
And got in bed next to her. We were both going to have sex with him. It took a little coaxing,but, he agreed. I woke up after we scooched over so he could get in bed between us. The bedroom was like a mix between these two: It was just so bizarre because I have no idea where this dream came from nor who she was. Except she was a brunette with long hair, relatively fair, and about 17-19. -I've been chillen with Steve and Mike lately, as well. -Erika has been sick lately. First she had kidney stones and a infection for which she was in Methodist for two days. Then strep throat and the mumps. I haven't seen her since before Halloween.
Well that's everything that I can think of to cover now your random article of the day: Mortuary Science. Mortuary science is the study of dead bodies through mortuary work. Those who study mortuary science usually take up careers as morticians or funeral directors. Many also study embalming
to supplement their mortuary science studies. Some states require
funeral directors to be embalmers as well. Often the decision to study
mortuary science comes before attending college.
History
Funeral directing can first unofficially be seen in ancient times; it is not something new. Most famous are the Egyptians who embalmed their dead. Pre-20th century, funeral directing “never attained the legitimacy of more developed occupations like law or medicine.”
But because many funeral directors study embalming in addition to their
mortuary science studies, they can be classified in the medical field.
Funeral directors gained a high status that peaked in the 1950s but
soon declined in the 1960s and 1970s. Reputations eroded as a result of
bad publicity and increased police investigations. Today, though, funeral homes are seen as a necessity. The mortality
rate exists and each city needs a mortician. But according to Occupational Outlook Handbook,
the “employment of funeral directors is projected to increase more
slowly than the average for all occupations through the year 2014.”
A more descriptive history on funeral practices can be found in The History of American Funeral Directing.
Training
Requirements for getting a degree differ by school and by state.
Those wishing to become funeral directors have other requirements that
usually include 2 years of college (including studies in mortuary
science), one year of experience as an apprentice , and a qualifying examination.
College degrees in mortuary science can usually be obtained in 2 to 4 years. Some community and junior colleges offer 2 year programs while universities can offer both 2 or 4 year programs.Classes typically include “anatomy, physiology, pathology, embalming techniques, restorative art, business management” and more.Therefore, if high school students are planning on majoring in mortuary
science, it is suggested they take biology, anatomy, and other science
classes, as well as public speaking and debate classes, since funeral
directors have to be personable and good speakers as they work with
their grief-stricken clients.
More than thirty states have schools that offer mortuary science
programs. Illinois, Mississippi, and Texas have four schools and New
York has five.
Disadvantages
Mortuary science can bring pressure and stress upon students.
According to Spencer E. Cahill, a student who participated in Mortuary
Science classes for a research paper, students also experience pressure
and odd questions and looks from other college mates.They become shunned by other students and associate only with other mortuary science students.They become desensitized as human bodies they work with are no longer
seen as human, but as “an interconnected system of arteries and veins.”As Cahill reports, students often explain that the first time was the
hardest, but that they’ve gotten used to it, but the smell’s the worst.
Seeing it is not that bad because, as one of his classmates said, “The
sight, you’ve probably seen worse [sic] things on television.”
Mortuary science students are also subject to diseases. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook,
morticians often work with cadavers that are infectious “but the
possibility of infection is remote if strict health regulations are
followed.”They are also subject to formaldehyde exposure during embalming procedures.But that, too, can be helped with strict health regulations.
But the downsides are not only physical. There are emotional
hardships with becoming a mortuary science student as well. Some
students working with Cahill stated that cases with children were hard.But for some, the emotional issues are not affecting. One student
stated, “What we do is far less depressing than what nurses and doctors
do. We only get the body after the death and do not have to watch all
the suffering.”In some senses, this is true, but the hardships and emotional,
physical, and mental strains account for students dropping out of the
program.
Benefits of studying mortuary science and career options
Those who apply their studies in mortuary science and become
morticians also end up taking business management classes. This is
because “Funeral directors… are responsible for the success and
profitability of their businesses.” According to David L. Torres in the American Sociological Review, “The funeral industry is significantly different from [other] industries.”Twenty percent of funeral business is made up of individual businesses owned by morticians.Their niche is created by the number of deaths per year. Because of the need for funeral homes in most cities in every state, many establishments thrive and competition grows.
Establishing a funeral home is not difficult in some states for
degreed individuals. In some cities, “licensing of a funeral home may
include only the payment of a fee for registration” or require
notification and an inspection of the home.
Funeral homes usually include: Wake room: for services and
visitations; Preparation room: for embalming and restoration;
Merchandise display: to display caskets, and other merchandise that
customers need to buy; Privacy room: for the family; Office: for your
personal use and the running of the business; Livery: to keep hearses
and other vehicles
Funeral homes are usually open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Hours are long and unstable, stress is high, and emotions can be difficult to control.
Buh-bye, Xanga whores.
