    Disturbed

    As I sit here at 4:05pm, just getting home from class, I’m still trying to grapple with what I just watched in class. It shouldn’t be anything that affected me but man, shock value has it’s tricks I guess. I know the topic is normally a social taboo anyways…but never between my friends and I…but to have everything so out there and in my face was a little unsettling to say the least. The facts and stories and all that good stuff isn’t something I had problems with, it was the visual aids and art. Whoa. I don’t even know if ‘problem’ is the right word, but it shocked me…

    Monday night class might be useful for something

    Well, tonight’s night class was semi-interesting. It had room for improvement for sure but the part of the class devoted to dieting/weight loss, it shed light on myths and was informative. Most of it I had heard before but it got me thinking about people I know and how they go about dieting/losing weight, what they do in stressful situations and all that. This is what I learned. I don’t know why I feel like telling you about it but I found it interesting. I’ll leave out the hormone/neurotransmitter/anatomy part of it to save your sanity. hehe Ok I’m a nerd. The number of fat cells are determined in life…

    study…study…study…

    ….that’s the story of my life in the past two weeks. After this week no papers and maybe just 1 exam, it’ll be nice to relax for about a week or so. 🙂 We are hopefully going to be Halifax bound for at least a day, a week from this coming Friday. I want to ‘visit’ my dress and hopefully realize that I don’t need any alterations! **fingers crossed** I have 1 midterm tonight and hopefully all will go well. I did ok in geology considering my prof asked how his last name was spelled for 1% on my FINAL grade!! He asked the dumbest questions and that probably was…

    Another Rant *Sigh*

    I’m just so…so…so….AHHHHHHH! I’m frustrated and disappointed in myself (even though I have no reason to be). I had that final I was dreading today…from the psychotic prof. Well I managed to get through the 22 chapters, 5 online readings, and a complete other text (100 pages). I knew this stuff inside and out! There was no stopping me! I even knew the images in the text like she asked! One would think that would be enough, no not quite. There were images on the exam, about half of them that weren’t in the text. I have no idea where she got them. Then the exam essays (2) were supposed…

    I Could Just SCREAM *@&#^

    ARGH. I feel the need the scream and shake my prof violently. First off it’s a course I don’t like in the first place…it’s the one “arts” course I had to take to complete requirements. It’s a cumulative exam…well just the essays and we don’t know what those are so we have to study 3 textbooks and notes covering 5000yrs of information. Ok, if that’s not bad enough she tells us TODAY that we have to have ALL the IMAGES in our biggest textbook (400 pages) memorized for the exam. WTF!? Maybe you could have been telling us this all along so we could study/memorize them as we go. We…
