EXTRAS

So I was finally able to read a book in one week. As most of you know I have a strange compulsion to read a whole series even if I don't like one of the books. Having said this it should be understood that I still like reading these awful books.
Well I loved reading the Uglies series until I got to the fourth book of the Trilogy (or that was what it was supposed to be). In the first three books issues such as brain control, superficial stigmas, and what it truly means to be free are explored. In the forth book we depart from the main characters and move to Japan to learn what the world has become after everything has changed. I did not like the book because of several things that got overshadowed by one large problem. The end is CRAP!!!! The whole thing about these books is supposed to be about learning to make good choices and live a good life on this planet. Scott Westerfeld apparently got tired or thinks that this kind of a world could never happen and thinks we are doomed to end things badly that in this final installment he has all of the people submit to the plans of Extraterestials (people preparing for space with extreme surgery) and go up to live in a habitat in the earth's orbit just so that they won't kill the planet.
Well I have news for you Mr. Westerfeld. I haven't lost hope. We can survive this ridiculous life without going to live in space just because we can't trust ourselves here. We can make things work here instead of transplanting our underlying problems in another location. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!!!!

Insanity

So this was a big week. For the first time in a long time I have felt the overwhelming need to cry. As always I am unaware of the way that people can see what is going on with me even when I think that I doing a good job of hiding it from everyone. I am an RA (Resident Advisor) at Dixie. This week I was given the task to work with another RA to make flyer's for a sports activity that was coming up. Usually I am the one who makes sure that everything that needs to go on the fl yer is on and is correct. The other RA usually does all the "Flash". Well this week I had over 28 hours of work to do. Because of all of the homework that I had to do I did not check the fl yer that had been done and let the other RA do what ever he wanted and trusted that the information would be correct. A few days later it was the day before all of my assignments were due and I was freaking out. I also had to go to my RA meeting. At these meeting my RM (Resident Manager) has personal meetings with...

INDIA

Ok so I know I have been neglectful . Things have gotten better for me since I made some decisions about what I was going to do with my life. I will get into those later because my life is so different then it was just two months ago. Just so no one will call me hyperventilating, NO i'm not engaged, NO I did not get a teaching job, and NO I did not decide to become part of the Radha Krishna religion! One of my friends came up and we went to this Inda Fest which was so much fun! The temple that it was at was so beautiful I didn't know anything like that was in the whole of Utah . While we were there we bouhgt the traditional outfit. (I will not try to spell it because it sounds like sorry ) Part of the experiance was the food which was a Delicious hot multi- course meals of Indian curry with home made cheese ( paneer ), blueberry hallava, spicy Bengali rice, and giant lentil chips ( papadams ) and there were Indian drinks such as Peach lassi, and Nimbu pani, as well a...
