Down with the ASG

September 28, 2007Lately, I have realized that the ASG and the people in it are not all that they say they are.  The Honors Program advertises that it has a "supportive community", when in fact it is a complete lie.  The reality of it all is that everyone is a conniving little rat trying to make it to the top.  Most everyone is concerned about padding their resumes and sucking up to all of those in charge.  It is ridiculous.  Not to say that I don't enjoy a little power every now and then, but my main concern is not how well I can suck up.  When I first got involved in leadership within the ASG, I naively thought that I would be able to make changes to the program.  Wow, how sorely mistaken I was.  I've realized that the ASG is nothing but political rubbish.  I am not going to abandon my responsibilities just yet, but I will soon be pulling away from the program.  What a let down.

Why can't we all just get along?

I will never be able to understand why people can't be honest to each other.  Recently I learned the truth as to who my real friends are and had some very hurtful things said about me.  Now I know what you're thinking, "I'm sure this girl isn't honest to everyone 100% of the time."  I'll admit it I'm not, but I'm not continuously hiding my true feelings about people.  I let people know when I don't like them.  I think there is a definite difference between hiding your feelings and being civil and respectful in public.  I attempt to let my feelings be known by how I act, not by going behind people's backs and talking about them while pretending to like them to their face.  And when you confront someone on an issue, its nice when they just tell you the truth instead of continuing to lie to you.  I just don't get it.  I wish we weren't forced to play the "do they really like me?" game whenever we befriend someone.

I Chopped it All Off

April 03, 2007I got adventurous and cut all of my hair off.  It's the shortest it's been since I was a little kid.  It was time for a change.  I like it a lot, plus, it's great for the summer.

Finally Home!

March 11, 2007

Yesterday, Jonathan and I returned from Memphis.  It was a really fun, but busy trip.  I had a blast.  It was so much fun to meet all of his family and friends.  I'm so tired.  I'm going to need a vacation from my vacation.  A week of non-stop activity will do that to you.

Sadly, school starts back tomorrow.  I still have so much to do for classes.  It seems as if there just isn't enough time.  AHH!

I'm so tired of all the crap!

February 05, 2007I am so done with my family.  Since Dad is out on the road, there is no one to police my Mom and my brother, Matt.  Matt is Mom's "little golden boy," and that's all he'll ever amount to in life unless he starts to use his own brain instead of acting as a carbon copy of Mom.  And apparently Mom has failed to realize that I'm different from Matt.  For starters, I don't like to talk all day long.  I need time to myself after a full day of intereacting with others.  Second, I don't agree with everything that she thinks.  Third, I won't just sit there and take her crap, I'll fight back.  I'm so tired of it all.  It's continuous, and looks as if there's no end in sight.
