bear with me
am I glad I went to class today,my teacher let me make up(with no points off) the quiz I missed last week and I did great.Ok better than I thought going into it at least.
spent the rest of class watching two videos,one was on deer,moose,cariboo and the other was about black bears. Which of course was intresting,it was amazing how stupid people have been when it comes to interacting with wild animals.They showed old pictures of tourist feeding the bears and even letting them into their cars.Of course all this feeding has lead to the bears thinking people are walking vending machines. Generally black bears don't hunt people,thats to say humans aren't their food but they will defend themselves and can easily kill a person in a dispute over food. Best way to stay safe in bear country is to store food away from the camp area,if you see a bear don't run! Running will only make the bear chase you and they can run faster than you can get up a tree.Generally its a good idea if you encounter a black bear to stay calm,make noise(talk but dont yell or scream) and dont back down;thats showing the bear your of lower rank than it is and gives it a reason to charge.
There was a brief talk about grizzly bears,our state animal and the largest land mammal in the country.Today they are only found in a few remote areas of Montanna and up in Alaska. My teacher brought out a cast of a paw print taken in the Bob Marshal wilderness in Montanna,it was huge! And that was just one paw.
next up is history class,Im looking forward to it but dont feel prepaired to turn in that paper of which makes no sense to me:/
Still feel out of sorts on alot of things and am very concerned over the side affects the extra 5mg of Lexapro has been giving me the past week,hopefully they'll die down by the weekend.If not its back to the doctor next week for a chat session and evaluation(not to mention another $96 bill).The doctor warned me of the symptomps but I didnt take much stock in it since I wasn't affected the first time taking just 5mg's. Oh boy have I been wrong,ontop of my return to classes and job hunting quirks Ive been going through:
-feeling sucidal at least once every other day,to the point of scaring the shit out of me. Really I dont want to be feeling like that
-hair trigger temper,normally Im easy going but lately one wrong thing(even a tiny thing) and "boom" Im major bitch #1. Not endeared myself to my roomates
-eating alot more,which is stressing me out since the food I have left has to last me till I get a job.Ditto for downing Dr Pepper like crazy. There goes my food
-not being able to fall asleep but than not being able to wake up before 10am in the morning. Good thing my 1st class isnt till 11am on T/Th's or Id never get out of bed.
Only two more days till Becky gets here!!! :)
