So many things are bringing up so many thoughts for me right now. I find it interesting that just when I am about to get married and start my career, something many people refer to as settling down, I am so driving still to "change the world".
The horrible events in VA, for example, bring up my views on education and institutions. Especially pych. wards and prisons. Standing on my soapbox doesn't get me very far... so I guess I have found something to work on on my "summers off"! I am not sure why I feel the need to add more to my plate, but I am glad in a way that I am still nieve enough to believe that I can change things that make me mad and frustrated! For example... long term solitary confinment! Hmm... let's drive someone to be crazed and then think about releasing them to society! If our education system worked like our prision system...
Okay... so, I am prcrastinating! I should be working on my problem statement (beginning to my thesis) It is wierd to think of working on my thesis! And my portfolio and my apllication for a postion at as a teacher for students with emotionally impairements in a residential treatment center. I think that is why I am so nieve... I NEED to believe in rehabilition for a majority of the population... otherwise I'll come to the realization about how many of my students will end up in prision or homeless.
Enough of that!
Adam and I have ordered our wedding bands. I am soooo psyched! 108 days!
