Also it may seem like my life has all this pressure
It actually is pretty peaceful and easy right now
I cut my hours back at work
Because I’m taking 16 credits
My mother is being nice and keeps buying me things
Which, like what I said to the kid that called me the C word repeatedly
being human I respond well to compliments and small presents
But I basically just do a lot of homework and walk my dog in the nice early fall weather
i got an A+, actual A+’s on both of the projects I’ve turned in so far
so life is ok right now
one of the things I’ve noticed most about life
is how normalcy and abuse coexist very well
and how you get used to both and just live almost happily in them
at college many of my professors are great
a lot of the class rooms are very small though
my Latin class is just ridiculous
I think I’m a bit Closter phobic, probably thanks to the 7 or so months in STU
but I have had many classes in rooms smaller then your average high school classroom
also some of the dorms are not very safe looking
I don’t think dorms are that great in general
They kinda work,
one of the dorms is across the street from the university
So it’s right on the party strip down town street
With all the bars and crack heads and winos
I’m not exaggerating there are a lot of them
The doors to the dorm rooms open out onto outdoor walk ways
And it looks like a crappy motel
There are newer dorms, I think they should just stop using that one
It looks dangerous
Or at least only have large members of the football team live there
They don’t though
I can’t help but cringe seeing these cute little college girls go up to their rooms
It’s is really right on the street next a dive bar
They have to email us when ever a crime happens
And there was a shooting out side of a bar
By non school related people two weeks age
And a couple armed robberies of college kids last spring,
The guys were obviously crack heads, like I said there are a lot of them
That street gets pretty wild after 10 pm
But who robs college kids? They have what 20 dollars at the most
the one time the kid ran and the guy shot after him
it seems to be the same guy too
I don’t know if they have adult dorms
I hope they separate the 18 year olds from the 25 year olds
And I’m against co ed dorms
Anyway I don’t know why we give all our tax dollars to BlackWater
When we could make the local public university modern and accessible
The state needs to buy out the really run down apartment complexes too
That are right across from the school in a bunch of places
And rebuild them with University and school stuff
The apartment complexes are really bad
People are so weird too, it’s like they don’t see them
I think people who have never dealt with being attacked or abused somehow
Have really thick rose colored glasses
They want to believe in school spirit and stuff
They are right there, right across from the administration building is one of the most ghetto apartment complexes I’ve ever seen, crack heads milling about and such
I think the public university needs a lot more funding and a lot of work to make it safer and more accessible to everyone
Not just cute kids with nice families from suburbia
This is the state capital and all
Not everyone is from suburbia and life happens
Everyone needs a fair chance at a college education
I was researching the lives of factory workers in China
Speaking of crappy dormitories
It’s really interesting
Also I just started my period today
Thanks for sharing I know
Or well that explains the bitchiness lets make bitch with PMS jokes
But that’s not why I’m mentioning it
I actually have painful periods, I’m on medication for it
I also get moody and a bit odd
I know this is related to my periods because it happens immediately before or while I have it
Again I am sure thank you for sharing too much info
And I hate men who say oh she’s talking back to me must be PMS
but who cares about the fools
I mention this because with diagnosis like depression or bi polar disorder
I think in adolescent girls and women
Female hormonal changes are often miss diagnosed
In the industries zeal
I know as a woman who lives in herself, there are emotional changes that occur around your periods,
this varies from woman to woman too a lot.
I really really think that PMS and adolescent female hormone changes are getting miss diagnosed all over the place
Post natal depression is certainly no joke, neither is menopause
I have been around women with both and there are noticeable mood and physical symptoms and changes. Other people know this too
menopause really is no joke
and these are real womens health situations
it's real, real doctors know this
that's why they put menoposal women on estrogen and such
I was not actually expelled at eleven for not doing my homework
Just suspended, and nobody taught me any damn study skills
They all just attacked me like a bunch of insane chickens
Really it was like mean wet hens
My parents were going through their
Two year long fight all the damn time
We are getting a divorce
We are not getting a divorce thing
My mother thought my father had cheated on her
And we were moving again even though we had just moved a year and a half ago
Also the school required a lot more homework then I was used to in sixth grade
I think I had at least two hours a night
I don’t know it might have just seemed like a lot
Because I didn’t think I could do it
i wish i could take and post pictures of the apartment buildings next to the university, they are so run down and scary really
maybe i will
