"Kids"

Having dogs is like having kids. I have two dogs, a black lab and a golden retriever. The golden is a runt the lab didn't get as big as he should have. They are very hyper, energetic dogs. I feel bad for them now that I'm in school now though.
Three days of the week I have school in the morning and right after school I go to work. So they're locked up all day. The lab I have to keep locked in his kennel because if I leave him out he'll chew things apart. The other one has so stay locked in my room.
When I take them outside to play fetch they never retrieve very good. They're more interested in sniffing new things and peeing in every spot they can. Then when I take them for walks they pretty much are the ones that are walking me. I can't even enjoy the walk and the next day my leg and butt muscles hurt so bad.
When my husband and I move to Illinois for the rest of our schooling we might have to leave them with his brother out west. It is so hard to find a decent priced place to live when you have two dogs and two cats. We would miss them a lot but we know they'd be happy over there because it's a wide open area for them to run around and explore new things and of course lots of places to pee.

Why?

Hi, my name is Beth, but you obviously got that by looking at my profile. I'm 23 years old. I'm writing in this blog, not because I want to, but because I have to. My first blog is due tomorrow so I can't really think of anything else to say but to complain about how much I'm not enjoying school right now.
I have been out of high school for 5 years now. I have gone to MATC for one year since than, but dropped after the first year because it wasn't what I wanted. Now I'm back at school realizing that once again the years that you have to put in to getting your bachelor's degree are almost pointless. Most of my classes I'm taking this semester don't have anything to do with what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life. What do I need to know about Western History for when I'm going to be studying Eastern medicine. What about anthropology, I don't know about you but I don't think that has anything to do with acupuncture or oriental medicine. But I still have to waste my money taking these classes. When I'm done at UW FDL I'm still not going to be done.
I will be going to Illinois to the school I will end up in. The first two years, however, will be finishing up with my bachelor's degree. So that means taking more of these classes. After those two years I'm positive it will get better though. I'm excited about doing this though because I finally found out what I want to do and I know I will be helping so many people. Also, I can't wait to rub it in certain people's faces that don't have faith in me.
So, yes I think think this is a stupid assignment. Than again that's my own opinion. Who knows maybe after 15 or so weeks I might enjoy writing in a blog.
