New Stuff!

Thu Sep 3, 2009, 2:24 PM
So, I haven't been able to comment everything, though I've looked at all the posts made by the deviants I watch. :) Sorry, I'm doing my best!

Fall term, 2009, started about a week and a half ago, and I am being crazy and taking 21 credit hours of upper division courses (just for those not in college, most kids would rarely take more than 12 hrs of lower division courses [lower=1st, 2nd year levels, upper=3rd, 4th, above level courses]). I love most of the classes, though - five of the classes are psych, one is an English/composition and one is a history course, so three of them require many, many papers. :)

In addition to classes, which go from 7 to 10:20 each morning (and 6-9 Wednesday evenings for one [two are purely online]), I am working as a vocal and piano teacher four days a week at different schools each day. I had my first day today, and I adored it. :) I'll admit my schedule is crazy and quite hectic and I have literally no time that is not devoted to work, school, homework, or basic life processes. Still, I love it. :D If only Brian were here...

Only other new thing is an accident I was in on Monday - I was stopped on a main road over here and a guy just slammed into me, hitting me so hard I hit the person in front of me. Even though I have one of the highest pain tolerances most docs have seen, the whiplash is so bad that I almost throw up even just while sitting, if I lean at all. It's so ridiculous. Still, I'm exercising as always and trying to slowly work it back out. :) I'm just glad that no one was seriously hurt (I was the only one who even had any injuries), and that the guy's insurance is going to cover my car getting fixed - since he did over $2000 in damage.

Love you all! <3

Every day I count my blessings, and I consider myself extremely lucky, regardless of the things that go wrong in my life. I don't tell people about most of the stuff, because I strive to impress despite my past and I do not at all desire pity. I live by the saying "You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it," and I do my best to use all the challenges I face as opportunities, rather than falling to them as obstacles.

For every blow I have been dealt, I am thankful, because each has taught me something; I am thankful for every little moment, good or bad, in my life, for there is opportunity in each moment - opportunity to do good, to improve, to help, to learn. I avidly partake in introspection several times each day, so that I may learn from things that happen on any given day. By doing so, I manage to catch negative states, habits, viewpoints early and rid myself of them. Also, I love laughing, smiling, and being upbeat.

I am pursuing a doctorate in Psychology and a master's in Social Work. I will be a clinical psychologist, and am considering one of three focuses. I also hope to teach voice and piano, and possibly continue in theatre to some degree.

I love everyone, and believe that all people are inherently good. I always forgive, and feel that everyone deserves an infinite number of "second chances." Each person is capable of immense good and incredible evil - none is exempt from this law.

I believe that peace is possible and would take only a few small changes - namely, focusing on all people as the brothers we are, rather than as the individuals we care to consider ourselves. That is, if we, as a WORLD, recognize the interdependence of all people, all living beings in general.
