| Wow...... it has been forever since I have written one of these. I am kind of bored right now with not much to do and had some free time, so I decided I would write something on this again. Life has been rediculously crazy lately. School has had it's moments where it tends to get crazy and thankfully that is just about over. I just have to get through finals next week, which should not be too bad. I only have one real final, which is in my Biology class. My World Religions class is basically a regular test with a small portion that will have questions over what we learned earlier in the semester. Then, my Statistics class is just a presentation, so basically just finish up with preparing for that, and I am in a group with it so it is not that much left I would personally have to do to get it finished. Then in my Abnormal Psychology class, I do not have to take a final, because my teacher was at a conference about 2 weeks ago and then we had the snow storm, which threw off his plans for that. Then yesterday he told us that because of all that has gone on and the fact we did not have a chance to cover that much for the next test, he said if you were happy about your grade then you do not have to take it. He made the last test optional and if you did take it, then it could only help you. It is a relief to know that this semester is almost over......... I am definately gonna need the next month off to get ready for next semester and just try to take it easy. This has been an interesting semester though, and I feel that I am learning a lot.
I can not wait for next year with school, then I can finally get into my major and really take the classes that are of interest to me. I can start preparing for my career and for my future school years after I get my bachelors. I feel that I am on the right path to getting my degree in Psychology......... I just gotta do the work to get there. I feel that I can really do a lot and accomplish what I am hoping to with that degree. I am wanting to specialize in depression and manic depression/bi-polar. I have seen a lot of people suffer depression and I really feel called to do something about it. I am sure that a lot of you have suffered through some sort of depression whether it was minor or severe and got to the point where you thought about taking your life. I feel that too many people out there are depressed and they should not have to go through that, regardless who they are....... it is not a fun time and completely ruins a person's life and others around them. We have enough crap going on in the world today that adding that on top of it can cause choas for a lot of people. I have not known anyone personally who has committed suicide, but I have heard stories about how a few people who went to my high school killed themselves and thinking how messed up some of those cases are. It makes me think there has to be something going on either in their brain or something in the world that is making them do that. I just hope that if any of you reading this right now are feeling depressed....... keep an eye on it and if you get to the point where you start to think about ending your life or you see someone that is in that position......... do whatever you can to help them.
"I hope that in your life and in your world, I hope the good will always out weigh the bad in everything you do and everything that's given to you. Unfortunately that doesn't always occur. See there is this thing and it's called tragedy and it has absolutely no mercy for anyone or anything." -Brent Smith, lead singer of Shinedown

| I went to Pointfest on Saturday and it was great. It was slow for the first few hours. Then at 4 pm, I saw 10 Years play. There was a crazy mosh pit going on there and it went on for the whole time that 10 Years was playing. I almost lost my hat during the 10 Years concert.... when the mosh pit slowed down some, I grabbed my hat and put it into my pocket so I would not loose it. That was one crazy show........ first time I was ever in a mosh pit so it was interesting and a different experience for me. Then later on that evening Shinedown played..... I was a little upset that Shinedown only got 30 minutes to play... they deserved much more time. They were great live, but it would have been even better if they had more time....... they should of gotten at least an hour to play. I mainly went to Pointfest to see 10 Years and Shinedown. Then after Shinedown played, I got up and started walking around and I saw that there was a line for something and I asked someone what the line was for. They told me it was to meet Shinedown, so I immediately got in line and waited to meet them. When I finally got to meet them, I got my ticket out and all of the band members signed it. When I got to Brad (Shinedown's bassist), he immediately put his hand out for me to shake it...... that was really cool. Then it made me think.... I was wearing my necklace that had a crucifix on it and I think he might have seen it. Brad is the one who usually thanks God first in the thank you section that is in the booklet that comes with the cd. It made me wonder if it was more because of the crucifix or what..... either way it was still cool to get to meet them. That was the highlight of my night...... I got to see Shinedown live and meet them afterwards.
I also have finals this week, which is a relief in many ways. I will not have to worry about school for a while then. I also signed up for classes for the fall semester. I have Intro to Biology 1, Abnormal Psychology, Elemetary Statistics, and a class that deals with reading about different people of Psychology.... I figured it might help me with my major so why not take it.

| I had my Evil and Human Condition class today. I like the stuff we talk about, but other than that I am kind of neutral on everything else. Today we talked about how some people have done research about people in groups and how usually if most of the people in the group agree to something, the other individuals will also agree. Then we watched a video that talked about how some people have done research on if "good people" under a certain situation change and be totally different than how they would usually be. This made me think, because some of them acted like a total different person. I was talking to someone in my class about it and I brought up a point about how maybe it could work the other way around. Maybe we could get people who are considered "bad" in our society and put them in a different situation that might make them "good". Would it be possible to do? If so, how would we do it? It probably might not be ethical to do, depending on how they were going to do the experiment. But could there be an ethical way to do this? And if so, then why would they do the experiment? It would be like getting rid of any kind of evil that is in this world, and that may not entirely be a possible thing to do. I do not really know where all to go with this. Sometimes I hear about something or start thinking about something and it just makes me wonder about different things.

| "Deteriorate" by Demon Hunter
Time has had its way with me
My broken, tired hands can't build a thing
The wires that have held me still
Embedded now in flesh, define my will
The idle of my days has won
The empty I have fed has made me numb
Despite what you will find in me
The failures of my past still swell beneath
I need a heart that carries on through the pain
When the walls start collapsing again
Give me a soul that never ceases to follow
Despite the infection within
Our careless feet leaving trails
Never minding the fragile dirt that we all end in
This is where I find my fall
The cares that held me life don't work at all
And every step away from here
Is closer to the plague I hold so dear
Awaiting my end
Breathing in the day that finds me new
Redemption begins
Bleeding out the flaws in place of you
My thought for this post
Why is it that we choose to do the wrong things when we know that we should not? Afterwards, we say that we will try not to do it again but end up failing the next time it faces us. Why is that?

i got a 76 on my adolescent psychology test that i had last thursday.....
which kind of upsets me. i know i could of done more studying for it
and all but just the fact that i not getting the kind of grades on my psychology tests i have been hoping for.... this includes last semester when
i had general psychology. overall i have done decent on the tests but i
feel that it not enough considering it gonna be my major and i have to
get better grades if i want to go as far with it as i am wanting to.
then today.......... i got my first ticket...... that was fun....... NOT. i was in my own subdivision and ran a stop sign that i use probably just about every single day. i realized i ran it afterwards and got kind of nervous......... then i saw a cop car come behind me and realized i was caught. he asked me if i knew why he pulled me over and i told him cuz i didnt stop at the stop sign... so in about 2 weeks i have to go and pay for my ticket that i have no idea how much it will be. so yeah......... today was an interesting day. i also have a test in my history class this friday that i have to study for.......... which as long as i get a B overall on all my tests....... i should be good in that class. i also have to read 3 books total this semester for my history class and we have a quiz over each book and we had a quiz over the first book we have to read last friday and i got a 96 on that........ so as long as i read the books, i should be getting an A on the book quizes..... so having 30 % of my grade (from all the book quizes) being an A should really help. just depends on what i do on my tests in that class to determine what i will get. i will probably be trying some different things to prepare for my next adolescent psychology test and try to get an A on it. i figure if i can get atleast an A on one of my psychology tests and atleast a solid B on the other tests....... i should have a chance at getting an A in the class, which will be really nice, but i just gonna have to work at it and hope that i find something that works better for me.
