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.
