24 Hours Left Plus5

As of posting this blog I will be leaving all of my finals behind, my friends behind, my school behind, and I will enter the most wonderful time of the year for a white Christmas! I only have twenty nine hours left and I can hardly wait. This first semester has seemed short (now that we are at the end at least). Lots of things have happened that have made it a memorable first semester of my junior year!
I don't think there is any way that two or even three plump paragraphs could contain all that there is to say about this past semester. I've met new people and made new friends. I've gotten back with old friends and through these months I've bettered my character and become a better person. I always say that college will bring better days because the drama will hopefully slow down quite a bit. I've put up with drama and such and still have the same opinion. I have enjoyed the wild side of my friends that have put humor in my life and the real friends that know me, they make life worth living for me! I've learned to listen instead of talk, think of others and not myself, and I've realized that time is my number one enemy and I'm still battling for the victory. God has also brought many people to weimar and has blessed me through them. I feel like such a hypocrite at times but I'm looking forward to what God can do through me for the rest of this year and my whole life. I don't know what to say but thank you to God, my friends, and you!

23- Secrets are made for telling!

I've told a few secrets in the past and heard a few more. Some secrets were lame and some still haunt me today. I've thought about how to react to them and realized that whether those secrets were a big deal or no deal at all, I use my judgement for when it was better off to tell those secrets or not. I've found that secrets create stress like no other. I find this need to tell someone this secret to "get it off my back." Its a strange thing we humans do but we do it anyway. I tend to respect the secrets I'm told because I put myself in their place and know I would want to trust someone to help me out and not spill the beans. Like I said about judgement, you can't always keep secrets. One characteristic of people who commit suicide or mass murder at a school shooting is to joke about killing themselves or telling someone their kill list. I believe with good judgments the appropriate secrets can save lives or even other peoples character and we can keep it down about Bill liking Lisa.

22- Beauty and the ... Brain?

Well, as you can see, I would prefer brains over beauty any day. I first thought upon reading the prompt that I would enjoy beauty over brains. How shallow thinking that was! In this world only a few pretty people make it and although they are not mainstream famous smart people enjoy the small scale wonders of this life. Feeling achievement and success is more fulfilling than know people like to look at you. Reaching a career know as difficult provides more satisfaction, having worked hard to earn money rather than looked good. I believe I would be happier to work for what I have.

To sum it up, People can get very far in life on beauty but those people are few and far between. For the average person brains will get you further along in life an much happier.

21- Girls Have Cooties!!!

I'm sure there are reasons why women may not be allowed to do different jobs. Some jobs are just dangerous and others may be a traditional avoidance. I don't have much knowledge on this subject; however, I could imagine that the problem still exists. Since i don't know much I can say one thing. Women should have a choice as to what kind of danger they are willing to put themselves through. Some jobs require strength which comes alot easier to men than to women. This means that for the average woman, certain jobs are physically unobtainable. As for the way we are made, men and women think differently and can not perform well in certain areas. I'm saying there should not be rules against women holding ceratin jobs but some jobs just aren't for them!

20 Stuffing!

When I mention stuffing I'm not talking about turkey. I'm a vegetarian and have never even tasted turkey. But I'll tell you what got stuffed, me! Lots of mashed patatoes and everthing else had nuts in it! Uck! I hate nuts! I still ate too much. Lets not forget about the awkward moments that filled the air as our distant relatives filed into our home and took their seats with upright posture! That was my cue to hit the computer with a little myspace and youtube! But I was with family and had plenty of food. I think we often forget to be thankful for things we have that others don't. We need to be especially thankful for the right to worship freely because isn't that how it all started anyway!

19 Lets just call it the T.V.

So our country has become infatuated with a box that now could come in any size from a cell phone screen to 11 foot flat screen H.D.! Its called the television. I'm sure its nothing new to you. It goes by many names, some of which are very crude. But I have a more important question. Does the television effect us in a way so that we no longer care about the world around us? When everything is literally at our finger tips through infrared, do we eventually become dull to the sights and beauties around us?
We now are able to access anything we want so why go to the trouble of actually traveling. It is sad but I believe that White was correct in his forcast. Something has crept into our world to day. Its has our minds dull with uninterest. The television only does us harm. When we watch, we become lazy and have no need to see the sights. And when we do there is nothing special about them. We should stop the watching and get outside!!
