Hi, I'm Celeste. I like pretty things and I'm a pretty chill person. I think I'll probably write more here later...

Barefoot

Today I'm going barefoot. If at all possible, I will not be wearing shoes for the majority of the day, despite the less than warm weather. 

  • Fact #1: In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to food, clean water and to seek medical help.
  • Fact #2: Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
  • Fact #3: Often, children cannot attend school barefoot.
  • Fact #4: In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
  • Fact #5: Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing shoes.

Also, as soon as I have the money to be able to afford a pair, I'll be purchasing a pair of TOMS shoes off of their website. TOMS matches every pair of shoes with another pair that they'll send off to kids in Ethiopia. I know they're expensive, but I also know that part of that money is going to be going out to kids who really need it, much more than I need to order another Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade (sweetened, light ice).

On another note, my family is coming tomorrow. I haven't seen my mother or Medora since January 2. And since they are probably my favorite people in the whole entire world, I'm very excited. I didn't get to go home to Texas once this semester, and everyone else I know has been able to go home. So, I hope they are in good moods when they get here. 

Hopefully, by the time they get here, the stress from my horrifying stats test and class registration will be over by tomorrow. 

Also, I'm getting a kitten for next fall. Anyone have awesome kitten name ideas?
