Another week closer..........

I guess there are only 19 more days until graduation, but there are lots of new stresses being introduced into my life. There is some drama with my family and some that exists only in my head, but the real drama is that I just don't know what I want to do when i get done with school. I find the little motivation that I had this semester is all but gone. I had a test last week that I really did not care about at all. I think this blog is actually a type of therapy for me. I need some way to spill all of my thoughts before I can move on to new things, this is a great way especially now that I know that some people are interested enough to read what I write.

I had a great thanksgiving. I went to my dad's house and had a good time with him and my brother. I had to come back to Eau Claire on friday, and then on saturday I went back to the cities to watch my high school play in the state championship, and although they had a great season, winning 9 in a row to get to the championship including some huge upsets, they were unable to pull it off in the championship. It was a good overall game and tehre were some cool plays, but the other team was just too big. I am really impressed with what they were able to do. It was such a powerful senior class, they really banded together after losing 3 of their first 4 games and were able to do something really impressive that no team can look down on them for. I think this was partially because of good coaching and experience and also because of the never quit attitude that the team took on, they beat the #1 team in 4a in the state semifinals which was huge.

I had a great discussion with someone yesterday about our mutual disdain for people who are too preachy. I dont like being told what to think or believe. I know where I stand on most things and I feel bad that this person is being put through religious pressure by others because of the fact that what she believes is simply different from what they believe. I think an important part of bein human is being different and being diverse, if we were all the same life would not be as fun or as interesting. I just dont like that some people feel the need to push their beliefs onto others. I just dont like how closed minded people can be. If I am going to hell for what I believe I am very content with that. I am by no means a bad person. I believe in one very big thing and that is respect for others. I dont tell people that they are wrong for what they believe. i think that different people should be allowed to believe different things because different things support the lives of different people. I tend to steer clear of religion as a topic of conversation because some people get riled up when I dont agree with them. I want to have my freedom of religion that is promised in the constitution.

I guess I should also mention that I am completely against drugs in every way. I have recently had someone really close to me get in trouble with the law because of drugs. This depresses me because I blame myself for letting this happen to them even though it was this person's actions that caused it and had nothing to do with me directly, but I still feel that I should have done something to prevent it. I just personally do not understand why some people need drugs to have fun. I have fun doing nothing I guess that is just because I am easily ammused, but I am just fine with that. I guess I am just a closed off prude or something like that because I hate drugs and I hate the fact that I have had friends who wont talk to me anymore because I will not get high with them.

I really have relatively little left to do in college, but I dont want to be the kind of person to do it half assed. I need to knuckle down and finish strong in college and also double my efforts to find a job. I might be stuck working my two current jobs for a little while after I graduate from college, which I can live with because I will be making some decent money. I worked a lot over the summer so I know I can work 50+ hour weeks for a while.

Well I am a little rushed by this so that I can get some stuff for graduation done. I feel bad because ironically this posting is going to sound very preachy. I guess thats too bad, but I have to get going now.
