So--it's the day of the irish...yay for the color green. I like it lots.
However--I wonder if most people really know what this day is all about. Most think it's a day for green beer--because, OBVIOUSLY, all Irish people EVER do is get wasted and eat potatoes.
I wonder if most people know what Patrick was all about...I wonder if they know that he was a prisoner for six years where he worked away from most people--and before he was a prisoner he was not particularly religious, but once he became prisoner--he became frightened and turned to his christian religion and depended on it to survive. When he left Ireland and escaped to Britain, he studied to become ordained as a priest for over 15 years and then felt it was his duty to go back to Ireland to comfort the Christians already living there and convert those who were not yet Christian. I wonder if they know that he was the "inventor" of the ever popular celtic cross: because most irish at the time practiced a nature based pagan religion, he put a sun behind the cross to make praying seem more natural for the people.
I don't know--I just think it's annoying when everyone is like--"Hey, I'm Irish--I should go get wasted to celebrate this day"....right, because that's EXACTLY why there's a special day set aside to remember the good deeds of someone.
Anyway....
School is going well--I only have 3 more weeks in the classroom until I go out onto the floor. Right now I am learning color and highlights...it's pretty fun. My last class is anatomy/massage therapy. I'm excited for that too. Then out onto the floor--thank god because I don't know how much longer i can handle the people in the classroom. I've been trying really hard to like them and be understanding of all the dumbass things that they say--but come on people....when you say, "I was sheltered when I was young"...go out and find out some stuff on your own before your open your mouth instead of still listening and believing everything your parents tell you at 21 or older. It's just insane to me that some of these girls are content not being educated.
And the drama--god, the drama that goes on there is insanely annoying....it's not like any other drama I've seen before--because there are no dudes to break up the drama...and the only cool girl in the school that I've met is out on the floor already...so 15 girls in one classroom...you can imagine.
Job is going alright--nothing special.
I watched Garden State last night--so good. Made me think really hard about my future...i like movies that do that.
I think I'm done ranting--the end.
