| you know what drives me insane? and i mean, let me first say, i'm preachin to the choir here, but still...i hate when people don't do what they say they're going to do. is follow-through like, a thing of the past? or was i born in the wrong era? or what about when you're having a one-on-one conversation with someone, and they tell you straight up to your face that they are doing something in their life that they know they shouldn't be, and they know that they need to fix it, and they know God's forgiven them, but they keep doing it again and again (granted everbody does this from time to time)...but how can you sit there and say you know you're wrong, but in the same breath, practically reiterate that although you know it's wrong or stupid or whatever, that you're going to do it anyway, because it makes a fool of someone else? or because it makes you feel better? or for any other reason you might suppose? i just don't understand this. why can't people be honest? why can't people face up to their actions? why can't people have follow through? and why can't people stop beating around the bush and just get confrontational??? it's not that hard-in fact, it's biblical-although, ok, don't use the word confrontational, but it's getting my point across, nonetheless. argh...just something i was thinking about today that really bothered me. | | |
| so i spent the weekend writing my research paper. the topic (my choice haha) is government funded research. i've come to find that my english professor leans a little more towards the liberal side, although for the past month i have never written my papers different. i tend not to leave my beliefs, morals, and convictions out when i write-that's me, and that's how i write. regardless, I feel I am a decent writer, and am often proud of my work. however, about a month ago we got an assignment to write a paper on a value of our choice. one whole class period was spent on discussing "values". i couldn't choose one, so i ended up writing a 6 pg paper on modesty and morality. now, my professor will contend that the reason she graded so harshly was because the body did not support my thesis, and that i couldn't really throw modesty and morality together. (i did agree with her on my thesis, however, if i feel modesty and morality go together, than that's my opinion). this is when i first formulated the thought that my teacher is more liberal than i first supposed. my values paper was also peer reviewed by two students. The students and professor all bled on my paper-I have never had more red marks on a paper than that one. At any rate, I got a 75% on it, and I was ok with that. However, I decided to appease my professor this time around (simply because my research paper is nearly half my entire grade for this class). I do not at all agree with a national system of health care here in the United States, I think it could do some good, but in the end would be a disaster. Does that make sense? Anyway, so I took the lilberal stance, and vied FOR government funded health care! Smooth on my part?! I think so! Plus, on top of that, I think it stretched my comfort zone in having to write against something, which is harder than the opposite. THEN I realized, that in the end, my professor won either way! Not only did she get her paper, but she also completed her goal-which was to stretch me, and make me learn. HUH! Who would have thought huh? Aahh...gotta love the college life. | | |
| dude, staying up until 2:30am on a workday playing halo with 15 other people is really dumb...but it's a lot of fun too! HA! yay for blowing off this week of school and work! thanksgiving and football here i coommmme!!!! yay! | | |
| ye-uh first post in a long-long-time...i know-but no one reads these so who really gives a crap right??? whatever...i'm sooo bored at work-you just can't understand guys. so bored. and cold...why do they make office spaces cold i wonder? to make you wanna leave? shoudn't the work space be comfortable? i mean unless you work in a freakin cubicle right? if you work in a cubicle-you should be cold. if you're cool enough to work at a front desk like me-you deserve to be warm-or at least not to have the ability to loose feelings in your fingers and toes after sitting for a mere 10 minutes. wow-see this? this is how much work i'm doing at so-called "work". it's not usually like this-i hate it. and i hate spiders...they stank. all right i'm thru now...adios....good morning, good evening, and good night. | | |
