I am a nose-running maraton...
"E-D-U-C-A, you need more of it"
There are moments when I really wonder to myself what our elected gov't officials have in store for our future. Tonight, at midnight, if an agreement is not reached on the matters of the California budget, $400 million dollars will be lost for school funding, thus causing community colleges to drop classes, hike up tuition, and conversely, causing students, who might already be having a tough time paying for school, to decide that it is beyond their financial reach to still go to school. Education seems to really have been placed on the back-burner these days, and I just think it sucks, especially in an era with such a competitive job market where not having a degree sets you quite a bit behind those with one. It seems like education is not a focus for the future anymore...there is something seriously wrong w/ this picture...and I just hope that everyone gets some sense knocked into them and reprioritize..
What is the world coming to?
So Irvine, once dubbed as one of the safest cities in America, has had recent bouts with violence. Recently, some guy went ballistic at an Albertsons w/ a Samurai sword, yes...that is correct, a freakin SAMURAI sword. He practially beheaded someone...sheesh...sad sad sad
Somebody, shoot me, right in the nose...
Dangit, it's Monday, and I feel freakin miserable. And it's not because I have the case of the "Moondays" or because I know it's a short work week and I just can't wait, but because out of the stinkin blue, my allergies decided to rear its ugly head last night. And now, I'm a roller coaster of sneezing, watery eyes, and all that grand accompaniment. I wonder why God created allergies...he he he, probably another one of those trials and tribulations I so often read about. Anyway, it's just reminded me of what cicely wrote...how physicality and emotionality(is this even a word?) are so intertwined. This is the reverse of what Cic's point though, because she was talking about emotions playing into the physical, where as I'm talking about a physical ailment can cause such angst. I just wanna go home... Grrrrr...
