AKAGAKHG.... I can't decide if I want to take a break or keep on truckin'.... Apparently I want to keep on truckin' today cause I felt like posting...

ANYWAY... Life has been extremely stressful this last week. Its the last week of classes so I have two papers and a presentation. The presentation is the worst bit because in a moment of weakness I agreed to work with a girl I didn't know because she "needed" a partner to present with. I can see now why she needed a partner. I've designed the power-point, including a game we're planning on playing, basically came up with the entire speech element, with a few sentences of input... but not much... so a 30-40 minute presentation for the two of us, largely written by myself, or a 15-20 minute presentation written by myself... I should have done my own damn presentation and not given into the plights of others. On the bright hand, she's done about 75% of the typing. So I guess my fingers get a break in there. But she looses helpful points by not writing things how I say them. Which might seem egotistical cause you know... My Word Is The Word Of ALLLLLLLL!... Thats not so much the issue as she modifies what I say, removing words or re-writing the entire sentence so it either doesn't make sense (due to missing words) or it doesn't say the same thing as I was trying to convey in the first place (because shes re-worded it, not understanding what I was trying to say in the first place).

For the record I'm done with group work... unless I can be the slacker, allowing the smart person to write the whole presentation, so I can go in and fuck it up.

In other news I got a conditional acceptance to a university that is about an hour south of where Im at. Basically I could only do the first two years of my degree at the community college Im at now.... So I have to go else where to finish the last two years. The only place in the province that I can finish it up is an hour south and full of red-necks. So THAT will be fun.

Speaking of the uneducated, illogical, and offensive... I was on the bus to school the other day when I made the mistake of engaging in conversation with another woman on the bus (Unlike engaging in a conversation with myself that always just leads to a fist fight). I had seen her around the college a few times and my usual assumption is college=educated=semi-logical and enlightened which should = semi-bearable conversation. After spending the first 15 minutes of the bus ride bitching about how she couldn't get into the program of her choice because someone was out to get her, she spent the second 15 minutes of the bus ride trying to convince me that the way to salvation is through accepting Jesus Christ into my heart. I politely held my tongue for the majority of the bus ride but took a moment to explain that I believe that being a good person should be separate from being religions.

Some of the most awesome, supportive and loving people I know will have nothing to do with religion. It probably didn't help her argument that she spent the first 15 minutes worth of public transport criticizing and hating on the people who were "keeping her down". I feel like people use religion as a method to justify doing horrible things to other people and still feel good about themselves at the end of the day. I don't think going home and praying for ten minutes is going to justify or make up for treating someone horribly because they're different than you.

They whole thing on the bus just left me with a bad taste in my mouth... I didn't appreciate being preached to. Im pretty much dedicated to the idea that if there is a heaven and a hell... Im more likely to go to bad place than the good place. Mostly because Im a horrible, bitchy person who likes to complain. But I will stop and help a person who looks like they need help... and I dont mind holding the door open... but I dont do it to ensure my place in the afterlife. I do it because its the right thing to do.

And because I believe that if I screw someone out of what they have coming... Im probably going to get screwed somewhere down the line to make up for it.
