Planes, Trains, and Automobiles...Oh My!

This post only has to do with the last thing mentioned in the title. But that is besides the point.

Anyhow, I decided to rant a little, because I need to do it right now.

Since the beginning of the summer I have been having a bit of trouble with my car. The first round of problems were on the minor side and easy to fix.

The second time my car had to get taken in to get fixed it was because it started shaking. We had taken it in to get it fixed, but the problem hadn't been addressed then. Before it got taken in to get fixed the second time, it stopped working on me while I was driving it. After that it got taken in and the problem actually got fixed.

Now, for the past week or so, the car has been making grinding related noises. Since I am off today and tomorrow we took it in once I was out of class to get the problem fixed. Hopefully this fixes all of the problems for good.

For the past few weeks the bottom of my computer has been heating up rather fast. Since it started doing that it has made it hard, at least I think it does, to do homework for a long period of time. Because I don't want to accidentally overheat my computer I have been going to the library at school or one of the nearby public libraries and borrow the computers there. My mom suggested that I save up for a new computer.

Once I get my car back from the shop I am really hoping and praying that the car problems stop for good. In the mean time I am going to start saving as much as possible for a new laptop. Right now I have a Windows 7 Acer, and it has been working well for the last three years since I got it. So if anyone has any suggestions on good laptops feel free to leave them in the comments.

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
