Fidel, Kosovo, NIU
I totally forgot a few minutes ago when I wrote:
Kosovo is it’s own nation now.
Fidel Castro relinquished power over Cuba to his brother.<–not much better but it’s still a start.
And I’m really tired of all these mass/school schootings.
(un)motivation
For some reason I have been finding it hard to find motivation to do things. The only real motivation I have to do anything is because it needs to be done and I am a naturally motivated person. But the way I am feeling, if I were someone less motivated I could become unemployed and fail out of school by May or even next week.
I’m not going to because it’s just not in me to do that but I wish it was. Or I mean, I wish I was one of those people who could just go through life like there was some ultimate goal or there is no goal and I’ve never even thought about having one. Does that make sense?
Well anyway, I need some point to this trudging on especially since many societies/cultures and religions believe that there is just a little less than four years left in the world. Kristine is also one of those, (refer to a post from a few days ago titled “obama drama”). It’s a scary thought and I think it’s depressing me honestly.
Total random side comments:
96 in mstd 226
B in mstd 304 and
the rest is an unknown grade for me. But at least the first two are good!

I haven’t written any posts in a while but I have contributed to some of the other pages on my site. Check out the quotes page and stuff from my mom.
OBAMA DRAMA
Well first off let me say that personally I have nothing really exciting going on or anything that’s really pissing me off but that could change at any moment. I do however want to take the time to thank AloufAesthetics for my new WaterPik and Sonicare toothbrush.
Obama took the Virginia primaries with a huge lead over Hillary. I didn’t see that coming. I didn’t think too much into either one winning or losing here but I didn’t think it would be a landslide as they say. Especially in his direction. I guess I have been in South West Virginia for way too long.
I don’t know what the exact numbers are but I do know I can’t wait to see the United States with a black president.
Side note: I’ve been reading Sylvia Brown’s book on psychic children and it’s freaking great! and Kristine knows that the world is going to end before she turns 27. Wouldn’t that be crazy?
More later. I need to get better at writing in here and writing with a purpose. I’m trying.
People like my professor are what’s wrong with this world
So I had to withdraw from a class, as i mentioned in my last post. The class is called Specialized Journalism, where you learn to write for a beat. For those of you that don’t know a beat is a specific area of expertise a reporter covers. The most popular beats include court/police beats, education or health beats, etc.
So as you can imagine writing an article takes lots of thought, interviewing and time. The problem is, I don’t have the time to go meet with 8-10 people, interview them and then get the paper ready. My professor Sandra Kelly seems to be an understanding lady so I went to her and told her that I don’t have enough time to do her class this semester, I was sorry and hopefully we could pick it up next semester.
Kelly:What’s it like to go a day in your shoes?
Me: Well yesterday(Monday), I spent midnight to 4 a.m. in the hospital with my friend Kristine.
Kelly: Well there’s your problem you need to stop mothering people and look out for the number one.
Me: That’s what’s wrong with the world today
Then I left, extremely pissed off.
The whole reason Kristine had to go to the hospital was because her temperature was extremely high and lots of flu symptoms.
Turns out it wasn’t the flu, it was some king of viral thing. I think I gave it to her as we had the same symptoms for the same amount of time she just got sick as I was getting better.
Now here we are three days later, she is better and I have a sinus infection.
Well try SinuCleanse, it actually works.
That’s all for now, I’m finishing up Whim and then home to get perma stoned.
So sorry it’s been so long
I promise I will give you loyal readers more of what you ultimately crave … soon? I hope so.
-Kristine, Erika-hospital
-Withdrew from a class
-thinking of another job
-Hillary Clinton is now my new candidate (pretending I had money to have one)
I’m in class now so I have to go but what’s funny is there are only 3 of us here and even though Staniunas is pissed he’s just goofing around.
so peace. I shall return.–soon!
