Trying to figure out the future.

current location: Work

mood music: 89xLive

So.
I can graduate in December with a Bachelors in Liberal Arts or whatever they call it.
Focus: History. Minor: Sociology.

Or. I can spend almost two more semesters [21 creds] and add another major, which is new: Urban and Regional Studies. It has to do with city planning and it's really what I'm interested in. I already have 12 credits in this field [Need 15 for a minor... with a class from each track and I have 2 tracks covered].

I would need to take the prereq [3 cred] (it wouldn't be until winter because the major is that new), 12 credits of random classes that interest me anyway, the senior level class [3 cred], and some form of community research for another 3credits. This can be an internship or an independent study or some other form of service that is approved.

Maybe my Ottawa internship would fill in for 3 more. I worked in politics and paid a lot of attention to the city itself. I loved it there. The city, that is. It's beautiful. I plan to go back over the summer.

And really... I already have Cognates. Srsly.

21 credits for a second major isn't bad. And I am well aware that a History major is worth a cardboard box if it has nothing to follow it. The way this degree is designed, it's really useful.

When I first thought about this, I thought the major was 15 credits (Yeah yeah, I know, I know...) and I didn't know I had any of the classes already under my belt and I wanted to do it. It's only 6 more credits than I thought and it's still the same amount of time. And the variety of classes that I need, well, there should always be options open. [SOC, ECON, AAAS, CRJ, POL, AMST, ... hey I have another class that I took! WGST, AH, COML, ENGL, GEOG, HIST]

So... I have 15 credits already into it and would only need 18.

I can take things on Architecture and Cartography and Environmentalism and Economics and Geography and Politics and Public Policy and Social Group and I mean... this is all stuff I like.

Or... I can graduate and get it over with and still not know what to do. Go back for teaching or fiddle with grad school ideas. Probably get another service job and never leave.

What do you think? Another two semesters?
Graduate with two majors in 5.5 years?
It's at least more useful than History, neh?

Blech. I am so useless.

Staind - Believe in Me

August 10th, 2008 (12:47 pm)
mood music: Staind - Believe in Me

I sit alone and watch the clock,
Trying to collect my thoughts,
All I think about is you.
And so I cry myself to sleep,
And hope the devil I don't meet.
In the dreams that I live through.

Believe in me, I know you've waited for so long,
Believe in me, sometimes the weak become the strong,
Believe in me, this life's not always what it seems,
Believe in me, 'cause I was made for chasing dreams.

All the smiles you've had to fake,
And all the shit you've had to take.
Just to lead us here again.

I never have the things to say,
To make it all just go away,
To make it all just disappear.

Believe in me, I know you've waited for so long,
Believe in me, sometimes the weak become the strong,
Believe in me, this life's not always what it seems,
Believe in me, 'cause i was made for chasing dreams.

It's my life,
It's my choice,
Hear my words,
Hear my voice,
And just believe.

I sit alone and watch the clock,
Trying to collect my thoughts,
And all i think about is you.

If you believe in me, life's not always what it seems
Believe in me, 'cause i was made for chasing dreams.

Believe in me, I know you've waited for so long,
Believe in me, sometimes the weak become the strong,
Believe in me, this life's not always what it seems,
Believe in me, 'cause i was made for chasing dreams.



Sorry... I liked it on the way home yesterday. ... now that I listen to it at home it sounds kinda cheesy. I hate when that happens.

[10 things to know about McCain]

For all the coverage this week of Senator John McCain's background, there are some important things you won't learn about him from the TV networks. His carefully crafted positive image relies on people not knowing this stuff—and you might be surprised by some of it.

Please check out the list below, and then forward it to your friends, family, and coworkers. We can't rely on the media to tell folks about the real John McCain—but if we all pass this along, we can reach as many people as CNN Headline News does on a good night.
http://pol.moveon.org/mccain10/

10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don't):

1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.1

2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."2

3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.3

4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."4

5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.5

6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.6

7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander-in-chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."7

8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.8

9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."9

10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.10

John McCain is not who the Washington press corps make him out to be. Please help get the word out—forward this email to your personal network. And if you want us to keep you posted on MoveOn's work to get the truth out about John McCain, sign up here: http://pol.moveon.org/mccaintruth/

Eh.
If I didn't read Sarah's The Sims updates I would delete this journal.
It's pretty pointless thing.

::shrugs::
Ah well.

It's funny how much I liked livejournal forever ago. I don't even really know why. I check the friends page out of habit. I have a mild curiosity about most people, but it's not like anyone really uses this to converse anymore. It's not even for keeping in touch. We've lost it. And aside from a few people... I'm not sad about it. I adored many people back then and would have done anything for them. We've just grown a part. It happens. It's life. Growing up is full of growings apart. It's a little that the only time anyone seems to care what's happened to an old friend is when it's something extreme because it makes for good gossip. It's human nature, I suppose. I don't know.

I'm tired.

Anyway. I don't really know what this post was meant to be about. I'm not sad or in a rough spot or anything like that.

Just realizing how meaningless livejournal has become. I don't write in it. I just read from it. But if I don't keep in contact, but I keep reading, does that make me a silent stalker? It feels too weird.

I don't know.

I graduate in December '08.
That's not bad. 4.5 years in total.

And then I get to go back for more school because a B.S. in History means I can live in a box if I want to!! hehehe
I'm kind of hoping that the Canadian Parliament internship will give me some ideas.
The plan is to go back to UM-D to get a Masters in teaching... because I can do that. I figure, if nothing else, it's something that doesn't take long to obtain and I've wanted to teach in the past. I don't know if I'm really going to do this for sure, but it's a pretty fast program. Maybe we'll get some Democrats in office and the government will actually want teachers again. O.o haha.

Took this from mah friend Sarah.




1. My username is ______ because ______.

nekobob
Way back in middle school I wrote a story about the last bob from the planet bob. It was actually pretty clever for a crazy 6th grader. aaaanywho... for the longest time my screen names and such revolved around "last_bob." In Sophomore year of high school the boyfriend of the time was a Japanese/Anime nut (still is) and I learned that neko meant cat. For some reason I snagged it because I thought it was cool. And... I've been too lazy to care enough to change it.



2. My name is _____ because ______.

Sarah
My mom wanted to name me Mary after my grandmother. Mary was also the name of my other grandma's dog. So, dad said no and wanted to name me Sarah cause he really liked it. My mom didn't like it because it was too common, but she said "fine."



3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

"Forget what we're told."
Song lyrics from Matt and my song. We don't listen to it because we don't want to not like it anymore. But... I like that line. It kind of fits why I do what I do.



4. My journal subtitle is ____ because ____.

"Before we get too old."
Continuation of the last question. It's the next line in the verse.



5. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

"Show me your garden."
Again, it is the next line in the verse, but it also fits well for reading the friends page.



6. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

Chii from Chobits
I tagged it "Please Chii" because it looks like she's kind of ... begging or pleading. I think she's adorable and want to hugglesquish her. Her pose is just... how I feel a lot of the time. Once upon a time, it was the default because it matched my color scheme a lot more than it does, now. I no longer have a paid account, so it isn't quite the same.

bored

I feel: bored

I have not been enjoying these random bouts of insomnia that leave me drained during the day, but not tired enough to sleep until the wee hours of the morning. oh, no no no. I blame winter. It is evil, it is.

Other than that, I have been fairing well. Lots of homework. Ridiculous amounts. But, the lack of an ability to sleep properly has at least given me more time to work on it. Not that I *want* to. I go to school less often, work less often, but there is so much more work... I'm glad I left Starbucks. I wouldn't have been able to survive otherwise. Seriously.

I only get to see Matt on the weekends and weekends are homework days, so the time is severely limited. Oh, how I look forward to those few hours... Even when it is being homework buddies. I miss him lots. And lots and lots.

I've been writing a lot lately, actually. It's a bit of an online group project, but it's been really interesting. For quite a few years I have had a severe lack of a creative outlet. All of this essay writing and depressing history reading has finally built up into a need to explode things out in words. It really wouldn't be very interesting for anyone else to read. But, it's pleasing for me and that's what matters. Also, it is fun to listen to the mp3 player and have songs have new meaning due to storylines. It's been a long time since that's happened, too. Not that I ever claim to have been a very creative writer. My vocabulary is often rather drab. But! This time around has been a lot more in depth and thoughtful. I believe my school work has contributed to this self-evaluation ability to properly empathize with and understand the thought process of a character. If I did not write for myself, I would share for giggles and grins. But, oh well. I'm proud of my character development. ::pats herself on the head:: It's fun. And sharing the story creation with a few other people is pretty fun because there's a constant "what's gunna happen next?" aspect and "how will I adapt to it?" portion that isn't present in books you read. Fun fun fun.

Hmmm. Nothing much else is up. I lead a rather boring existence during the week. Passing time until I get home. Passing time until it's the weekend. Doing what I must to keep from going crazy. XD

Hope all are well. Drive safely on the roads. Michigan winter is nasty this time around.

2008

loved

I feel: loved

Am sick.
Can't sleep.
Am exhausted.


I wish you all a happy new year.
I am glad to see 2007 go, if only to hope that 2008 brings better tidings for those near me. For me, 2008 brings the chance of Ottawa and a completion of a degree. It brings closer the chance of moving out and obtaining a new job. It's bringing the marriage of two people I care about and bringing a lovely vacation to me and the one I love. It will be a third year of enjoying every blissful moment... even when the world around us sucks horridly.

Here's to 2008... another step...
I'm sure I'll be more excited for 2009.

...
I just need to move out and get married already.
=P

A little update...

December 1st, 2007 (05:20 pm)
tired

I feel: tired

Well, life has been interesting. And yes, I do have work I need to be doing, but all my writing on Egypt's policies since the 1970s has lead to a need for a bit of self-reflection and self-expression.

I quit Starbucks. I've hated the company for quite a while, now. There is too much drama and I'm not going to get into it. Though I had a few workmates that I will miss, I feel so much better having gotten out of there. My time no longer belongs to them... they cannot call me on my time asking me to come to work. No more stress about when school work will be completed because I have to spend more time than I can afford to at the god forsaken place...

I still have my job in the Honors Office at school. They have no plans of getting rid of me until I graduate. And I have no plans on leaving them. It's a great job, even if it is only a couple hours a week during the fall semester. Winter will bring a greater need for me as we will have honors applications to cypher through.

School is hectic. I have so many projects I fear my brains will be mush come the 15th. But, half of it is important work that will actually be used for something other than receiving a grade. I really need to get my information together for my internship applications... as soon as this 10-pager is done. I'm really hoping to get to go to the Canadian Parliament for a month, but I would gladly accept anything that would accept me. Though, Matt is pushing me to go for the former direction. Though I have good references to get me there, I'm not sure that the papers I will turn in with my application reflect what I'm capable of. I don't really feel I could live up to the expectations. In terms of school... I don't think I'm that special.

Speaking of Matt... I am still very much in love with him. I have had no doubts that we would last so long and get along so well. It has been difficult for us to find time to be together, but it is quite refreshing once we are together. Text messages and phone calls ... Don't know how I'd manage without them! I have to get more work done on this paper so that I can see him tonight, actually, so I will be ending this shortly. A few months back we'd been looking at house and apartment prices to see if we could take advantage of the lower costs... yeah... I know it's rough to start out, but it's not going to be happening, yet. To me, the idea of our own place means that we would get to see each other more. Yes, the thought of *our own place* has a nice ring for all of the possibilities owning your living space would have for anyone else... Particularly having more than a bedroom to hold all of your things... but, home life isn't bad. My family doesn't hold me to any sort of rules, they know I'm responsible and take care of what I need to. It's also been nice because I won't have to worry about finding a new job right away. Waiting til the semester is over will really help with school. And I am so very grateful that Matt has supported the quitting of my second job. It's nice to feel I'm still worth something, heh. Anyway, this paragraph was supposed to be about Matt... I love him. I feel loved back. It just fits. There's nothing better... I've found it.


And now... to blast this paper for which I have no love.
US in the Middle East class.... I hate you.



Edit:
Blargh. I was hoping for a hug today. I'll have to work very hard so I can get one tomorrow. =/
I need to go pick up more of the vitamins I ran out of. I'm in a mood.

Quick update

November 15th, 2007 (11:36 am)

I dyed my hair and it is dark dark dark and a tad bit of the red.
It is also really soft and getting rather long (yey). Hitting the shoulders. I want it as long as possible in April for the wedding. Figure I can do whatever with it, then. Can always cut it in April if that looks better. :nods:

Finally being able to eat again. I had the mother of all stomach flus on Sunday. I haven't really been able to eat since. But I ate a grilled cheese yesterday. Today shall be chicken soup in one of those heat-up cans because I have class... and school. Yeah... don't get violently sick. It sucks.

I have all of Thanksgiving week off of school. That means I have to work on my 10page research assignment, study for a Psych test (so i don't suck at life), get more research for my Foster project paper... and have that done that week. Woo.

Alright. I'm hungry. There's my update on my life.
Also - I'll be leaving the Starbucks in the beginning of December. All local Starbucks are hiring if someone needs a job. I'll also be starting PartyLite in December because I want candles. XD

Oh... and in local news... We gots a new Mayor - yey!
40% voter turn out or so?

Watched the recent city council meeting on tv this morning. I'm glad we've got a new council. Can't wait for the whole country to get new leaders. Everywhere needs a big change, I think.

I need to get to sleep.
I am wide awake.

And I bet it will rain tomorrow so that we won't be able to go wherever the surprise is.
Because that is my luck this week.
And you know what? The end of last week, too.

::sighs::
I should be in a good mood.
But I'm cranky because I need to get to sleep.
But I am wide awake.

happy

I feel: happy

Attended a wedding with Matt's family.
Had a nice time :) Didn't know anyone, but it was friendly.
And I got to talk to Mike alone, which was nice. Little bit of bonding with someone who is likely to be an uncle to my future children. Basically, we made fun of wedding songs and how they have not changed in the last 10 or so years.

And now...I sleep.
(But I miss Matt's head on my shoulder ...dawhhhh.)
