Saturday Night and I Like the Way You Move..Pretty Baby...
It's party time and not one minute we can lose, be my baby.....
throw back.
I'm watching Engaged and Underage updates on MTV. This is a show were teenagers get married and every one is pretty much opposed to it. Well, this one girl got pregnant and had a baby so at 18, her and the baby's father decided to get married. His mother wanted the girl to initially get an abortion and wanted her son to have nothing to do with her in the first place. Any ways, they end up getting married and a year later the girl said that her mother in law still does not like her and their relationship has not changed. Well ya know what? The girl was pregnant again!!!!! What is wrong with these girls who have multiple children before they are 20 and then get married. What happened to taking proper life steps? When I watch these kids, it amazes me how they think/thought marriage was just going to be a breeze. Most of them are living pay cheque to pay cheque and are hardly getting by. But more than money, family is so important and half of their families are just blown apart by these immature scenarios.
I digress.
My new job with the state of new jersey seems to be going well. I work at a university in their transportation and parking department. The university will pay for my MA in full as long as I am an employee there and wish to do it at the university where I work. So it seems like studying for the GRE is in my immediate future as I would like to start the MA in the fall of 2009 in British or American literature. It's going to be hard, but all they request is that I score a 500 on the verbal so I think I can accomplish that. Now that I have this great opportunity at a great school, I have no choice but to take it! More than ever now, I do realize that I want to be an English Professor. It would be a great goal for me to always be close to what I love in life, and being able to teach English literature in it's most refined form would be truly amazing.
Any ways, I'm not feeling very well today so I guess I'm going to try to get some sleep now. Before I go I just wanted to say that what happened to Tim McLean this week, the 22 year old from Winnipeg that was stabbed and decapitated on a greyhound bus, is shocking, disturbing and one of the worst tragedies to hit my great country since I have known it. I traveled on the greyhound bus so many times when I was at school between my parents house and my university, and my university and Jared's house...and I think of how that could have happened to any one. I WANT security to be stepped up on buses. Any one can bring anything onto a bus at their own discretion. A few times passengers tried to bring knives on the buses I was going to be on and their weapons (pocket knives) were discarded but they were STILL allowed to board. Some people were drunk and I just feel like overall, drivers need to be trained and have the right to go through luggage and we should have the same security for buses as we have for airplanes.
I hope there is justice for Tim McLean.
Bon Nuit.
