Yet Another Random Post

Well, not too much has been going on with me recently. Pretty much the same old. The good thing is that school is drawing to an end! April 4, I believe, is the last day that I have classes, and then exams begin. I'm happy to report I just received my Geography test mark back and it is the highest mark I have ever obtained in university....and I studied the day of....go figure, eh?! On the other end of the spectrum, I got my Sociology test mark back and it was the worst test I had done in that class.....but still a good mark, just not for me. It's a little scary to think that I have almost completed my first year of university. So much has happened this past 8 months.....it's pretty crazy!

Currently in my SJP class, we are talking about the global food system. Now, this just isn't a topic that interests me all that much. My professor is a vegetarian and everything and buys organic and blah blah blah....so she's very, umm, passionate about this topic I guess you could say. On the other hand, there's me. I'll pretty much eat anything that moves, comparatively speaking that is. But I LOVE meat, and my theory is that God put cows on the earth for us to eat. Why else would they be here?? I don't agree with the way animals are treated depending on what farm they come from, but I don't really care, I'll eat them. But the thing about my program is it includes a whole bunch of different topics such as militarism and food and politics, and frankly, these just aren't things I "care" about. "Care" is a very loose word because I do feel they are important topics to discuss, I guess, but that's not where my heart is, per se. I'd rather learn about homelessness and poverty. To me, those are more important issues. But I do know all these things are linked together and what not, but hey, I can't help everything! So yes, I guess it's just a matter of narrowing down what you feel most passionate about and pursuing that more specifically. I'm just so lost. I don't know exactly what degree I should get to help poor people and stuff because I don't care much about policies, which is what Social Work focuses on, and Social Justice is sooooo......I don't know.......crazy, for lack of a better word. I signed up to do an Honours Specialization in Social Justice and Peace Studies, as well as minor in Sociology, or major, can't remember. I think minor. That makes more sense. Anyways, that's what I'm signed up for for next year. *sigh* Life is so complicated!

Another thing I figured out, working out helps you feel better when you're sick! Who would of thought! I haven't been to the gym (well I have for work) in a week and a half and I was starting to feel horribly "blah" because I've had a cold, but today I decided I would work out (even though today is the worst I've felt all week) and it made me feel better! So there you have it. If you're sick, go for a run. Speaking of running, I'm working my way up! I can't run worth anything, but I sure am trying! I'm more of a sprinter. That's what I was on my track team for in high school, and I came in third once, too. Yes, I'm proud. But that was three years ago....so I'm a bit rusty. Abe, I don't know how you do those long distance things! My props to you.

Anyways, have a good weekend everyone! I hope no one got completely wrecked last night! ;) And if you did, ah well, sucks for you this morning.

Class

Oh, I thought of something. Last night, I had my Religious Studies class. We were talking about the Book of Job and stuff, and all was well, until my ignorant teacher decided to be an arse. Okay, some student put up their hand and starting saying how the author of Job didn't mean for the Book to be factual, but merely metaphorical. I was half listening at this time, and this caught my attention. So I waited for my teacher to respond (being Catholic, I figured she'd disregard this comment and move one). But nnooooooo! She agreed! I was so stunned and disgusted, it's not even funny. This other guy who was sitting on the other side of the room and is obviously a Christian, was also horrified at this. We both kinda looked at each other and shook our heads. So, my Professor went on to explain how the Bible isn't completely historically accurate. And how only some of the books of the Bible are factual, where others are more like folklore. The other guy put up his hand and said, "so then that's like saying Jesus isn't historically accurate, but rather 'metaphorical'". My Professor responded, "no, Jesus was historically accurate". So then he asked, "then how do you know which books are and which aren't?" Professor: "it's a judgment call". What in the heck is that?? This made me SO mad, you cannot even understand. How can the Bible be a judgment call at what's historical and what's not? That's absolutely absurd. My Professor is now officially a moron to me, because I have no idea where she stand on anything and she's always jumping back and forth on things. It's odd.

Also, she was saying how "the Satan" in Job is not really Satan, but a being of heaven, or an angel or something. I think she's just pulling stuff out of her a** because I have no clue where she's getting this. She also was saying all this other stuff that was just so far from the truth and completely offensive to me. I couldn't believe it. If this stuff isn't making sense to you, then I'm sorry, I guess you would have had to be there to hear everything she said in order to grasp why I was so unsettled by this.

Cars

Lately I've been on this kick where I REALLY want a car. I mean, I'm losing sleep over this, people. I've been searching around e-Bay and stuff, but man, I can't find anything. I don't care what it looks like (as long as it's not a Ford, because Fords SUCK!!) I just want anything that will move. The thing is, I like the idea of being able to drive over to *someone's house anytime I want, or go here or there and not have to worry about walking (because trust me, it sucks getting up and walking in a blizzard to work....doesn't make it so appealing). And you all know how much my mom loves driving.....so yeah, it would make her life a lot easier since she always drives me to and from school ( I guess I am spoiled).

Yes yes yes. I know. Cars are expensive. The insurance, the upkeep, blah blah blah......but I really really really want one!! It makes me so mad because I know I can't afford one...well, I could, but then I wouldn't be as rich as I am! Muahaha....kidding people. Easy up.

In other news, not too much new is up with me. School is slowly coming to an end (yes!) and I am hoping to get a full-time job at the school. I handed in my resume and the guy's like, "do you have your name and stuff on your resume?" I just looked at him and was wondering if he was serious, and once I realized he was, I said "of course!" Sheesh. Do they really have to tell people to put their name and everything on a resume? I mean, I may be blonde and everything, but I'm not THAT stupid.....I hope....though I've been told otherwise....*cough*....moving along. I don't really blog much anymore, because A) I spend WAY too much time on msn; and B) I have nothing relevent and/or important to say. Hence this really random post.

So yeah, the world of Aleah is still the same.....relatively speaking I guess. Yeah, it's sad when you don't post for like a month and in that span, nothing new happens. Hahahaha, oh school just sucks the life out of me! Speaking of school, I have an exam tomorrow.....I should probably get studying on that (this time I've started already....go me).

Have a frickin' good one all! ;)
