Thought Question Tuesday

Play with fire, wet the bed.

Thought Question Thursday

I kind of feel like I am cheating picking this question because honestly, I do not feel like an adult. I should feel like one by now. I live alone, pay all my own bills, drink adult beverages. I think part of it is because I am still in school, and I honestly don't do a lot of work for my stipend, and the work I do doesn't feel like adult work. I don't feel like I have a real job. I don't feel like an adult

This is tough...I would say a tie between eating some beef jerky and cuddling with Steve.

Thought Question Tuesday

People really fascinate me, which is why I study sociology. I think it is so interesting how much culture shapes people and how people become manipulated to the point that they act in ways that harm their own interests. The things that people believe. It is amazing. 

Thought Question Thursday

As a graduate student I am allowed to focus all my energy in academics. Even though I am going to school, it isn't the same as undergraduate. I am not going to school to get a job, even though I will come out as a professional in the end. The job I am preparing for is one where I will do research and teach, which is a continuation of what I am doing now. I think modern America cares so little for intelligence and learning for the sake of it. Being an intellectual, or a scholar means so little. The fact that I am getting to not only continue my education, but I am getting a stipend to live on is wonderful. Even though I am a slacker, I love what I study. I really appreciate that I get to do something I love.

I think the better question would be how are you the same.  I see myself as a totally different person from when I was in high school, to be totally honest, I don't really remember what I was like in high school. So the answer, which yes I am taking the easy way out, is everything.

Sorry this is late. I've had a very busy day, enjoying the last time I have with my EC friends... :(

Capitalism

Thought Question Tuesday

Get settled into my new life. By that I mean, make new friends and connections. Feel at home in a new city. Feel comfortable in the department and as a graduate student. I want as smooth as a transition to my new life as possible.

Thought Question Thursday

I want to be done with Elmira College, done with this summer and moved into my apartment in Albany in the fall and all ready to get going for graduate school. I am done with this stress and everything.

What do you think?

Thought Question Tuesday

Nothing like I would have imagined it to be, it has been life changing.

I didn't see myself being single and without my ex...let alone dating lots of men, sleeping with many of them. Sexually I have become much more active and curious and willing.
I didn't see myself drinking...not that I am a drunk now, but I do drink and sometimes I do drink too much.
I work at Wal-Mart...not all the time, but I didn't see that becoming my first serious job.
My friend group completely and totally changed in the past year, I think for the better.
I thought I was prepared for the graduate school application process, but I wasn't at all...and now I am on my way to SUNY Albany next year, I hadn't even considered that school a year ago.
So much about my life has changed, I've grown a lot this past year and to be honest, while I am going to face a major change from undergrad to graduate school...from living in a dorm to living on my own. I do not see next year as much of a changing experience...

Thought Question Thursday

I had to pick this question because it has a giraffe in the picture...which also happens to be my favorite animal, so honestly it was the perfect question for me. I love giraffes. They are an awesome color and their horns are like alien antennas recieving messages from outer-space...which is really awesome. 

Thought Question Tuesday

The Prime of Miss. Jean Brodie I read it for my tutorial reading class.  I was really excited to discuss the book with the professor, but Sunday night we learned he had died earlier that day. The book is about a group of girls and their teacher/mentor. The girls get special treatment from her, even after they are no longer her students. The story is very complex and interestingly written. I really enjoyed it... I copied my paper from class below if anyone is interested in reading it, I know it isn't that great, but whatever...

Thought Question Thursday

Almost exactly a year ago, when my ex-boyfriend broke up with me. He was my best friend and it was like I had no one. I did not feel comfortable talking to any of my friends about it at the time. I had let him be my go to person and when that was gone I felt so alone. What made it worse was a few weeks later when I found out he started seeing someone right after he broke up with me, even though he said he was breaking up with me because he couldn't handle the long-distance relationship after graduation. I felt like the person I trusted more than anyone else was the person I could trust the least. I've never felt more alone and more confused than after that happened. A year later I am still crying thinking about how horrible it made me feel...and now I feel really immature and naive... :(

Misguided

Thought Question Tuesday

Not wearing my glasses is what makes me feel truly naked and exposed.  I am very comfortable not wearing any clothing...I love it. Until my glasses are off I don't feel completely naked, I always wear them...expect for sleeping and in the shower of course.  So my glasses. :)
