What is with all the papers that you have to write in college. The only class that you should have to write a paper in should be English. I have to write papers in my music class about concerts we are supposed to attend. In the paper we are supposed to use the terms that we learn in class and how it is related to the music selection. So pretty much I have to try to BS my way through two pages of crap. Same with my history class, but luckily I only have to try to BS my way through writing a page of crap.
Reading in college sucks. In my anthropology class the only reason why I read the chapters is because we have to do tests on them while we read. But I don't remember a damn thing from it anyway. My history class I used to read the chapters, but I stopped because none of it was registering and after I read just one paragraph I had no idea what I just read. So why waste my time reading it when I won't remember. I have so much other stuff to try to get done.
I don't even want to know what it will be like when I go to Illinois and get into graduate. When I go on to getting my doctorate I'm sure it's going to be even worse. To think I have to deal with eight more years of this stuff. I never even liked school in the first place.

Weddings
Why do people have to have weddings when it is cold outside? I had a relative get married last week and they had it outside. They lucked out with having the sun shining, but it was still cold. I was cold with pants and long sleeve shirt and a jacket and the poor girls had semi-short sleeveless dresses. I went to one again yesterday which she got really lucky because it was such a gorgeous day out. I have one next month and the month after that, so it will probably be even colder than yesterday.
I hate the people who have weddings in fall or winter that there's a good chance that they could have some really cold cloudy crappy weather and when the day comes it's just a gorgeous day out, the sun is shining, no colds and not that windy. I got married in May when it's supposed to be warm and sunny and nice, but instead I got a day where it was like 40 degrees and rainy and cloudy.
I suppose weather shouldn't matter though, but it would help. Especially when you have to have all your pictures in the basement of a church. My brother will be getting married in December in a couple years and I'm sure he'll even have a nice sunny day.

Moving
Moving sucks. It's a lot of work and you never know what the weather is going to be like. Will it be really hot or really cold or rainy. It's lifting heavy things and trying to fit them through doorways or up some really steep steps or down steps. Hopefully you have people that want to volunteer to help too.
My husband and I just moved half of our stuff out of storage today, and of course with our luck it had to rain. It's about the sixth time moving. The stuff we had to move was mainly the big heavy furniture. We moved it into a different storage above his parents business. The only good thing about all the moving we do is that we already have big moving vans for it. My parents own a lumber business and they have two big vans.
We are not done moving yet though. We'll have to move down to Illinois for school again. Than I'm sure when we are done with school there we will probably not have enough money to get a house yet, you know after having probably around $300,000 in school loans. So we will want to move into an apartment. Than when we have enough money and are ready to settle down in the right state were we can practice our degrees we will look into buying a house.

Morning Drive
When I drive to school in the morning, this will sound kind of bad, but I'm pretty much out of it. It's just a routine by now and I just end up finding myself thinking about stuff. The other morning I thought about what it feels like to know that nobody has faith in you. Mostly the people that care about you and should.
My family pretty much doesn't care that I'm going to be in school for the next eight or nine years slowing working toward my doctorate in Oriental Medicine/Acupuncture. I thought since it was something big they would show they cared. I guess that because I dropped out of a couple different schools and changed my major they don't have faith. But, a good of the population changes their major at least once. I just didn't know what I wantedto do.
Now I finally know what I want to do and I'm very excited about it. I'm also very scared. I haven't been in school for five years and being back has really hit me in the face. I definitely have to get back into the swing of things. The two things that are allowing me to believe that I can actually do this is that I have to think more about how much I love what I will be doing more than about how scared I am if I can do it or not. The second thing is the fact that my family doesn't believe in me pushes me to want to do it even more.
