Honestly speaking, I wasn’t able to finish a college degree because of financial matters. I’m actually a scholar at one university in town. Yet, I still wasn’t able to get a degree.

In the middle of my college life bad things start to pile up that I could no longer bear the thought of it. The only person who makes me feel life is beautiful is my husband. We are both in college at that time. So, we decided to live together to make each other a shoulder to cry on.

Don’t get me wrong, he is not the reason I stopped schooling. I did stop because it was the perfect choice at that time. I think if I did continue schooling, I will end up in the being super miserable today. It’s actually the perfect choice I made because I have a loving and happy family today.

The only drawback of my decision is the fact that I can’t get an office job. But, that is no longer an issue because I’m a plain housewife ever since I got married. However, there is still a part of me that wants to achieve something. That sense of achievement can only be satisfied if I can finish a college degree. I’m not after getting a career or the earning potential because that would not be a sensible mindset. For my age, it is no longer the thing I am thinking. I’m only after the sense of self-fulfillment.

Anyway, with my daughter’s permission, I’m now ready to finish something for myself. Currently, I am checking at several research college degrees at CollegeDegreesToday. Their goal is to provide a comprehensive guide for finding the right accredited college or university. All of their education partners have been carefully selected from the top online and campus based schools across the nation. They offer you the ability to search by degree level, degree program, online school, campus based school, or vocational program. Hmmm, vocational program would be nice too.

This photo was taken at Shakey’s Restaurant a few weeks ago. I was craving for this food for a long time. But, I’m trying to deprive myself from eating because I’m on a diet. As you know, I’m trying to lose weight for a long time. I know the calories I will get from eating this food. However, I could no longer stop myself. I gave in, but I only eat a small portion. The taste of it is enough to fill my cravings that makes me so happy in the end.

According to her SCRAM device reported and based on what the media is saying, Lindsay Lohan may already be off the sobriety bandwagon. After the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, the alcohol-monitoring device went red, which means it detected traces of alcohol in Lindsay’s blood, which in turns means that the star may have violated the conditions of her parole. While Lohan insists she didn’t drink anything the entire night, she may already be in deep trouble, People magazine says.

“Something set off Lindsay Lohan’s alcohol-monitoring bracelet – and that set off a judge. An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for the actress by the same Los Angeles judge who earlier issued a warrant when Lohan failed to show up to court. Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel found Lohan violated the terms of her bail and upped her bail to $200,000. A bond was later posted, sparing Lohan from being arrested until a hearing takes place next month,” People write.

“A source close to the case tells People the court-ordered alcohol-monitoring bracelet, called a SCRAM device, was triggered Sunday evening during an MTV Movie Awards after-party. District Attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison says the device was set off by ‘an alcohol-related violation.’ Lohan, 23, was fitted with the bracelet last month as part of her probation case after two DUI convictions. On her Twitter page, Lohan denies being in violation of bail. ‘My scram wasn’t set off,’ she writes in a series of Tweets full of misspellings, grammar errors and profanity,” the mag further says.

I could not forget the time when my husband got hurt while he was working in a printing press. However, his employer did not bother to help him with the hospital bills. He only lends him money for taxi fare, which is more painful. Since we don’t have that much hubby decided not to be confined in the hospital. Good thing his injuries aren’t that bad. But, we did endure the loss of income for about a week. He is the breadwinner, plus all our kids are still studying. We don’t have other source of income that time. That’s why we resort to borrowing money from loan sharks just to make both ends meet.

Lucky for us hubby’s injuries isn’t that bad. Unfortunately, there are other victims whose injuries go far beyond weeks of healing and curing. This should worry the people in Ohama Nebraska as there is a Personal Injury Attorney in Omaha Nebraska named Larry R. Demerath. He already spent 35 years helping fellow Nebraskans get what they need to support their recovery from serious injuries resulting from negligence. If you have been injured in an accident, and want to learn about your rights to compensation in a friendly and confidential atmosphere, contact the Demerath Law Office for a free consultation.

Anyway, after the incident in his workplace, hubby’s working relationship starts to get clouded by anger that pushed him to resign after a few months. He is much happier now that he is a freelancer as compared to that.
