Tethered To Sanity

Too much to think about

Well it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty forensics drama. We got back from nationals on April 5, and most of the people on the team I have not seen since we unloaded the vans. Partly, I am very sad because it makes me feel like a loner when people are hanging out and no one calls me to come and hang out. But, I also know that I simply don't have the time to spend like 7 hours hanging out doing nothing when I could be making some $ or catching up on homework that I need to do. I am also still really confused about some stuff that happened before and at Nationals.
I am not going to write everything down because, well let's face it people freak the fuck out and twist things around in their heads and then get pissed and I really don't want to deal with that bullshit any more. If anyone wants to know what happened before and at nationals, call me, it was quite dramarific.
Contemplate this: How can you get people to see things from your point of view if they don't listen to a thing you say?

Technological determinism

I finally gave in and created a blog. I never thought that I would. I have never been a person that needs to have the latest in technological advances--I didn't have a cell phone until half way through my freshman year of college, I don't own a television, and I didn't own a discman until my Junior year of high school. The times are changing though, and I feel like this is a good thing for me. And I figure that this will be a good way to get out all of my aggression with having to bottle it up or make others feel bad.
This week was pretty crappy. I stayed up all night working on class crap Wednesday night. Then on Thursday I think that I missed the boat on my American Literary History exam, and then I thought that I was going to throttle these two guys that I work with. To top it all off, last night we had two speakers come to campus, and like nobody showed up--it was ridiculous. This morning--because I was still tired from Wednesday night--I missed by 9am. And I didn't go to that class on Wednesday either. ARGH! The one high note is that the presentation that I had today went well, I think that we got an A.
I am highly disappointed that I didn't get to go out last night, though. It was that amazing day of the year to go and chill with friends. That's okay, though, today is Friday, and it will be great. I haven't been in town to enjoy a weekend out in months, so I wish to enjoy to the fullest.

Contemplate this: Why do people seem to always take things out of context and create drama?
