The past can come and bite you in the butt when you least expect it. I know this because it has happened to me many times with my past. For example, Ex Boyfriends.
The reason I am bring this up is because that is what has happened to me lately. My ex-boyfriend was a pain in my butt when I was with him. He didn't want to get a job and he also didn't want to better himself like go to school. He also wasn't the type to help around the house, when we lived together. I felt let down by men. I felt that if anything was going to be done, I had to do it myself. So, I did.
I started by breaking up with him. I was hurt emotionally for a year and a half. I was with him for 4 years, but during that year and a half I learned a lot about myself. I learned to deal with money problems that he left me with better, I decided to go back to college for my degree(s), I lost my job, but found an even better one that works with my school schedule, my loving parents bought the car my ex couldn't pay for and a great man found me. (Current BF is the next blog.)
So after starting college and almost a year later, I get a letter from the apartments my Ex-Boyfriend was staying at and that I had co-signed for him saying that I owed money, when I haven't even stayed there not even once! So I had to fork for the money some money so the lawyers wouldn't take me to court. I only got this letter and more money problems because of him. I was starting to get over him and this happens.
Then I hear from some of my friends that he found a girlfriend not 6 months after we broke-up. This just tells me that he just wasn't that into me after all that time I had invested in him. So, that didn't help the situation either. So I back off and focus on my man and school.
Well, after graduating with my Associates of Applied Science Degree in Computer Animation, I decided to go for my Bachelors in Graphic Communication with a minor in Digital Video Production. After starting this degree, not two weeks before Spring 2010 finals, I find out that my ex is getting married to the girl he has been with since we broke up. This hurt because I never thought him to be the marrying type, but I guess I am wrong.
So, now I am being the better person here, because I have wished his fiancee and him the best in the world. I have forgave him a long time ago and I sincerely do wish him the best of luck in his life.
Telling of my daily life and challenges with school, weight, and life.

Childhood Toys
Hello again,
Well, I have been in the attic a lot recently. The reason for being in the attic is to clean out my old childhood toys. Now, this is some what fun and sad at the same time. I will be picking up a toy that I used from my past and remember what I did. For example, I would pick up my trumpet music sheets and it brings me back to when I played the trumpet in 6th grade. I also picked up some plaster that I got from my dad's mom and I would remember painting it in fine detail.
I look at some of the younger things like purses and doll houses, then it brings me all back. It's hard because it means that I am really growing up and wanting to get rid of my childhood toys, but a part of me wants to keep it to hang on to those childhood memories. Like for some reason I will lose that part of me once I give my childhood things.Then I also see it as a phase in my life going from childhood to adulthood. I just like the childhood a little more then adulthood.
Well, that is all I have for now. I will keep you up to date.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Doran

My Childhood
Hello everyone!
My name is Jennifer. I am an overweight woman that is going to college for the second time to get my degree at Baker College of Flint. I got my first degree in Associate of Applied Science in Computer Animation and now I am going for my Bachelor's in Graphic Communication. I am currently trying to lose weight while balancing school work and regular work. It's not easy.
Since I was 8-9 years old, I have been a big girl (in size.) I was bugged by my mom, but mostly by my grandma (my dad's mom) to lose weight. This didn't help because I also had kids from school picking on me about my weight. The only thing I had to help my emotions was comfort food. No one to help me with my life struggles. I felt like I was being picked on all-the-time. So food was my way out of it, but it didn't help later in life. I just keep getting bigger and bigger. Now I know NOT to eat out of emotions, but I eat out of something worse now, BORDIUM! I try not to eat so much out of now. What I try to do is keep myself busy with other things to do, So I won't eat as much. Another problem that I am trying to curb is the portions on my plate. Combine the Bordium and Portion Control, that is where I become over weight. I am trying to do as my mom told me, "Take it one day at a time." Which I do, but I am also trying to remember to write down what I eat. I think that is going to be my challenge for weight is PORTIONS! I also love to eat, which can be a HUGE PROBLEM.
Anyways, when I was a young kid I also had a few other problems. NO I am NOT a problem Child, more like problems came to me, not me making them. I am the oldest kid besides my younger brother. My mom and dad decided when I was 8 years old that they were going to do construction on the house and I would need to help. So, I started learning to clean clothes, do dishes, sew clothes, clean house, and make dinner for my family. This helped me grow up even more, some people thought I was in my teens because of how I acted (more mature then an 8 year old.) It also caused me to lose my hair so much because of the stress with school and house work. I also was in Special Education when I was in Elementary School, but I will tell you more about that in a few. So construction was hard on the family, but we got through it. I was glad to be done Elementary school by this point. During the summer my brother and me got away from the stress of the house when My Dad's Mom and dad picked us up to go up north for the week. It saved me from the stress and let me relax.
When I started Junior High School, I had no idea what I was getting myself into for school work. I started my classes and I felt so dumb at the end of the day. I found out that my special education teacher didn't challenge me enough on school work. I came home every day after school trying to figure out my homework with my parents. I was glad that my parents were their to help me. I told the teachers of my problem with stress and the homework. They helped me so much and I am grateful for that to this day. By the end of my 7th grade year I was better in my math and science, so my Special Education teacher, MR.OZ, thought it be best to challenge me some more by putting me in a regular education class. That is when I decided that I wouldn't go through this much trouble ever again. I made it my goal, that by the time I was a Senior in high school I would be in all regular education courses. So, I did it. In my 8th grade year I was in a regular math class. In my 9th grade year I was in regular social studies, science, and math classes. In my 10th grade year I was in regular social studies, science, math, and part English Classes. By the time I was in 11th grade I was completely out of special education course and all in regular education classes and I also started at Genesee Area Skill Center (GASC) for graphics. When 12th grade came, I was working on a my video production certification and all in regular education courses, plus working, making car and car insurance payments. I also got to go to Sadies Dance, and Senior Prom. I didn't got to homecoming because I was in a really bad car accident that hurt my knee. I also went to Chicago with my Choir class and had a blast. I also graduated with Silver Cords. I was grateful for everyone that helped me with everything at that point in my life.
At that time I was planning to go to Mott Community College for my graphics degree. I went for two years going part time and I stopped going because of car problems and then I got into a car accident that totaled out my car. I decided to take time off to pay off my bills and focus on a relationship I was in at the time. I was with this man for 4 years and of those 4 years, 2 years were the best. On the 4th year of our relationship, I decided to end it with him. I also lost my Job too. That made me go into a deep depression. Before I had lost my job, I was thinking of going back to school because I needed to better myself and my situation. At first I didn't, know what college I was going to at the time. My brother had just graduated high school and he was looking at Baker College because of the scholarship he got. I decided I would see what programs they had at the time. I found two that I liked. One was the Associates of Applied Science degree in Computer Animation or the Bachelors in Graphic Communications. I like the Computer Animation one because I wanted to create 3D animation like Pixar. So I took that degree. I learned a lot. As I worked on that degree, I found out that I also liked the Graphic Communication degree too. I finished my first degree with a 3.71 GPA with an Honor Program Award with silver cords again. I decided to go for my Bachelors in Graphic Communication with a minor Digital Video Production. I am a Senior in College right now and I will be done with this degree in 2012. I have one year to decide on a New JOB and if I want to go for my Masters or not. I am thinking I will, if I can. If I go for my masters, I will be done by 2014 (If I do it in 2 years Full Time.) I would be 31 years old. I've also been thinking of starting my own Business with my brother called Doran Media. Right now it's more of a portfolio piece then anything.
As for my personal life, after dumping my ex of 4 years I took off a year and a half (Most of it not by choice) from men. I went out with a few people and found out that they weren't right for me, that was until I found a Great man that loves me for me. He completes in me in a better way than any other man ever has. He is what makes my life better. I am glad he found me. I hope life will get better from now on.

One of my Favorite Movies and Why?
One of my Favorite Movies: Disney’s WALL* E
Why is it my favorite movie?
I like Disney’s WALL*E because it is a creative way to express emotion and morals throughout the movie. The graphics are great and the story line is relatable to most audience members. The morals in the movie are:
1. Recycle your trash or the world will become a waste land.
2. Get up and exercise or we all will become fat.
3. Take care of the earth and it will provide for you.
WALL*E reminds me of Dream Works Robots and Short Circuit. I also like that they used computer sounds and not human voices it made it more believable.
Name 5 words that describe the main character: WALL*E
Lovable
Determined
Curious
Accident Hazard
Loyal
Describe the film (Beginning, Middle, and End) in forty words or less:
WALL*E (stands for Waste A locator Load Lifter that is Earth Class) he stays behind on earth to clean up the trash that people bought from Buy &Large to make it more livable again. His Best friend is a cockroach that goes with him on a daily basis to clean up and as he cleans up he finds things that interest him. He feels lonely until one day a ship drops off another robot that looks high tech and is searching for something. He tries to impress her, but she finally starts to talk to him. He fell insteadly in love with her. Her name is EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetarian Evaluator) she finds plants. WALL*E gives her a plan and after finding the plant she goes straight into shut down mode. A ship picks her up and WALL*E follows her. Both WALL*E and EVE go through a lot of obstacles to get the ship of people to Earth. The ship is against them and they fight it to get everyone home to Earth. They do end up getting the ship home and WALL*E isn’t alone anymore.
