Tsunami

I am watching this all unfold on my TV and the internet and I am terrified for these people. The tsunami is going to hit Hawaii, Alaksa and the entire Pacific region of the world. I hope these people are getting out safely. Don't be stubborn, your life and the life of those you love is much more important than anything material.

Hatred in America







Things like this make me sick, literally sick. I cannot stand people who behave in this manner. How could you possibly scream these types of things at children?! How could you hate someone you've never met based on things you've heard from others? I don't understand it. I don't think that I ever will. These "Tea Party"ers (the crazy ones like in the video, not all of them) piss me off, especially the woman. Really, you're going to be like Yaayy my son kills people like you? You're going to rejoice in the death of innocent people? You should be ashamed. You feel that those people you are so viciously protesting against are murderers, when I can tell you 99% of them wouldn't hurt a fly. You must be insane. And at least she admits that. She is crazy, and the people who are shouting with her are crazy. Don't use this country as a crutch for your hatred, that's not what America is about whatsoever. Our basic rights say that everyone is created equally, and that we have the  right to freedom of religion. But to them, it's only for those that they choose. Those people were not hurting anyone, ANYONE, they were trying to help people, but people who seek to strike them down are only pulling our country farther back into the past. I hope beyond hope that eventually things like this are rare, but for now all I can do is stand up for others who are condemned pointlessly and hope that maybe I get through to at least a few people.

Sit and Wonder



A British nurse in 2006.


I am sitting here, finishing up my studying for my Anatomy Lab midterm and I wonder how I will feel about my future job once I actually begin it. I have no idea if I am able to handle the stresses of being a nurse. I don't know how I will cope. I believe that I can cope, I think that I can work through my problems and feelings. I view it all as a challenge, something for me to conquer, something that I want to do in order to be happy and have a good life. But what is a good life? I want to be a mother eventually too and I would love to be a stay at home mom but right now I don't see that happening, ever, and that makes me kind of sad. I worry I won't enjoy my job, but then, why does it matter? If I don't like it, I could just get another degree or get some type of desk job in Health Care with the degree I'm going to get. If being a nurse doesn't work out, I've realized that's okay. It doesn't make me a failure, it just makes me different. It just means that nursing is not the job for me, but there's a million other types of jobs out there. If it doesn't work out, I'm confident I will find something I love. I think, though, that I will love nursing, I know it will be difficult, but it'll be just as rewarding as it is difficult.

Miscarry, get the Death Penalty?!

This makes my blood boil. How could anyone in their right mind think that this is a good idea, or think that because someone miscarried, they were trying to kill their baby? This is insanity to even propose an idea like this. Women who are going through a miscarriage are already so upset, and hurting, regardless of their situation, and you're going to make them go through a process to prove they didn't purposely miscarry?! You have to be a sick, twisted person to think that this is helping ANYONE. This man does not seem to give a damn about women's rights at all, trying to label victims of domestic violence as "accusers,"  and now this. People like this make me fear for the state of the world. This is all probably just a publicity stunt, and won't pass, but it still makes me angry. I could punch this man.

Burnt Out

I am really, really burnt out with school right now. This semester isn't very hard, 3 online classes and they're all pretty simple. It's just, I don't know. I don't feel like trying anymore. I love my Anatomy class, but my other classes just seem so pointless and stupid. My English teacher is a bitch, and said that I had "communication barriers" because I put sky-rocketing, instead of skyrocketing. Talk about nitpicking, lady. One of my other problems is procrastination. I really just can't get the will to do some of the stupid things I'm required to do. I can't wait until I'm done with the BS filler classes and actually get to take some practical ones! I think I'm also just bored with life, in general. I never really do anything or get out, since I don't have money or close friends. I'm hoping to get a Part Time job, which will hopefully fix both of those problem, but will definitely help the money situation. I hope after Spring break I feel a little more into school and hopefully have a better time focusing. Right now I'm procrastinating on writing a paper, but it's not due till Friday so I'm not doing too terrible, yet. Wish me luck!

So adorable!

New Look!

I updated my blog theme, and made the header and background myself. I really hate using a "Pre-made" theme scheme, but I'm not that skilled with Photoshop. I still think it looks nice, though, and I hope you like it too!
