Liiiiiiife :D
HAHAH, look at me remembering I have a LJ to post in once in awhile.
Life's been busy lately. Projects, papers, midterms, and all of the other fun stuff that comes with being in university. Part of me is wondering what the hell I was thinking when I chose a double major, the other part is like "...shiiiiiiny things~ *_*" I think it's only a matter of time before the whole of me is like that, and they ship me off to mental ward. :D Still, I'm refusing to get stressed out or depressed, so s'all good. I'm actually enjoying this semester (minus Entomolgy. D: Ugh, Dave scares me). Looking forward to next semester more, though. Ffff, fanfiction class ftw!
However, it seems that the return of school drags with it other people being stressed out, so a lot of my time has been going into pep-talks and the like. Not that I mind, of course. It just seems that, for some, this year has been unusually bad. I want to help, but it can be emotionally draining. I'd rather talk to people and try to help than do nothing, though. That way I can at least act like a friend. There are some people that have been...trying on me lately. I'm trying to be a good friend, and be there for those people, but I swear it's a one-sided effort, and there are times I want to just throw in the towel, so to speak, but then I feel guilty for thinking like that. >.>; I just do not know what to do. I try so hard no to let it get to me, because I know those people are going through hard times, but it's a loosing battle. I know the reasons, I can reason it out to myself, but it does nothing for my innate responses. I just don't know. T_T;
Also had an interesting moment in class (Health Psychology) today. One of my classmates (he's somewhat mentally retarded), said that part of the problem his dad had with stress had to be him. I don't think he was joking, but my prof chuckled anyway (I don't think she knew what to do). I can tell you, that was not the right response. I swear I came painfully close to trying to cheer him up right there in front of the whole class. >.>; I was horrified when she laughed. People carry a tone when they're making a joke, and his voice did not have it. Neither did his face or posture. He was also painfully silent for at least fifteen minutes afterward.
I dunno, maybe I should have said something. :/ I mean, I knew exactly what to say, I was just too nervous to do so. I don't like giving speeches in front of more than a few people. I mean, a good number of you know how nervous I get even trying to give advice in an LJ comment...I just don't like doing so where others can read/hear... ><; I guess I think that that stuff's too personal, but it's still bothering me that I didn't act...
In other news, my pony's turning into a freak. Like, not even kidding. It's gotta be all the trail-riding Sam and I were doing. He now thinks that it's his right to gallop everywhere like a maniac, and if I say otherwise, he rears or bucks. Or does both. I've had to start using a tie-down on him, but my pony, being the fool that he is, does not seem to understand that the rearing is what causes the pain in his chest, so he does it anyway. Wtf, Prit? Wtf? Hopefully being stuck inside all winter will help. I'm going to work with him a lot, which should help. Perhaps by spring he'll be better than ever. ^^
Anoween was freaking awesome, as always. :3 Finally got Twig there, along with some of her other friends, and Sammeh. Seeing Kimmy, Tani, Crystal, Jason, and Dani was great fun! ^_^ Not to mention Kell and Sean. I already can't wait for next year. ^^ (Hopefully Luke will be finished by then...)
Now I need to go mark stats assignments. Yay income! :D
EDIT: Also, Emy. TALES OF VESPERIA FOR THE PS3 IS SEX IN A BOX. Just sayin'.
