Loving the new season of Eureka on Syfy. Interesting way to switch up and “fix” some funky story lines. If you haven’t seen them, try and catch up, it’s totally fun and worth it!

Independence Eve
So bored. Weird stomach pain that gets worse when I eat, and comes in waves. It’s right under my sternum to the left, and hurts for about 10 or 15 seconds every 10 to 30 minutes. Ugh. Anyway, if I still have this pain come Tuesday, I’ll make an appointment.
It’s a nice cool night at least, a little breezy, and a comfy 60°. The girls are on the patio cleaning off chairs so we can take them to go sit on the roof of my husbands work parking garage and watch the Gas Works fireworks. They found some spiders, and are spazzing out now. Oh, so if you’re cool and don’t mind the 4 hours of traffic leaving Gasworks park, The Presidents of the United States are playing a free concert before and after the fireworks show, go! We’re cool, but the traffic… no thanks.
Anyway, just finished watching Spiderman 2, and now I’m going to pvp or something. Peace.

Good job, me
I turned in an assignment last week (two weeks ago, now), and it was a short paper about immigration, the process, and the reasons people want to come to America and become naturalized citizens. I worked very hard on it, not to get a good grade, but to make sure that what I said wasn’t emotional, but fact based, and that I had the research to back up my claims. I got the paper back with the grade. Here is what my instructor said…
Total Points 100 100
Late Penalty 10% per day, if applicable Points Deducted: 0 Explanation: N/A
Final Grade: A+++++Overall Comments: Outstanding work on this assignment! I RARELY am able to give out 100%, so you should be proud of this paper!!! I enjoy giving out 100%, but very rarely can I justify the perfect score. The perfectly formatted citations and references (except for the one, very small error) are what people typically do not manage. Your writing is strong, easily understood, and meaningful. You did a great job of not relying on personal opinion, and provided strong facts to support your ideas and convince the reader of your position. Your explanations for a very difficult process are well communicated and concise.
Your desire to engage in academic excellence is obvious, so keep up the hard work!
Oh yes, I still smile when I read that. We’re only in week 5 of 9 weeks, hope I can live up to my own work, now. lol 🙂

I think I’ve got it!
Okay, so maybe I’ve just got the idea, and the basic wording, but it’s a solid start. My thesis statement is “Removing racism from city institutions can inspire communities by being the change that many citizens are looking for. “
What do you think? Maybe it’s too simple, or I could use different wording, I can edit more later. I am just so relieved that I’ve done enough research that I feel I have enough information (and oodles of personal opinion) that I can actually start thinking about the outline with confidence. Whew! Thanks for the help Genglo!

Just a tad stressed
Felt a little overwhelmed today while looking at the work I needed to do this week for my two classes. So much writing, and I am just not sure how I want to go about writing this weeks paper. When I finish writing, I usually end up thinking to myself, “that wasn’t so bad”, but this class is turning out to be much more difficult that I ever thought possible.
Okay, the class is Cultural Diversity, and it’s crazy hard for me because I find so much of what I have to write about offensive, and even writing about it pisses me off. It is immensely disappointing to find out just how much racism and discrimination is still prevalent in the year 2010.
Well, that was fun. Time to cool off again, and work on this more tomorrow. Peace.

The Associated Press: Quake in western China kills 400, buries more
Rescue workers search for survivors at the site of a collapsed building in Yushu county in western China’s Qinghai province on Wednesday, April 14, 2010. A series of strong earthquakes struck a far western Tibetan area of China on Wednesday, killing at least 400 people and injuring more than 10,000 as houses made of mud and wood collapsed, trapping many more, officials said. (AP Photo)
I haven’t done any research to find out if the trend in these higher magnitude earthquakes happens every so often, or if this is something new that the planet is experiencing. If anyone knows, please post and mention where you found your information.
My heart goes out to the people of China, and I will keep them in my thoughts.

Hurry up and wait
Got the referral from our family doc so M can get an appointment with someone for her depression. Now I have to wait for them to call me to make the appointment, the recording said 24 to 48 hours until they call me back. Then, it’s 3 to 4 weeks for an appointment. Awesome, eh?
As for me, my algebra class is fairly remedial, any high school student could do it… but I am no high school student, and I have never been very patient with math. Week 1 down, and 8 to go. Human services in the US is the other class I’m taking, and I am really enjoying that one. I am doing alright in that one also, and that class is in it’s 3rd week.
I’ve been having some intestinal things going on, and have been feeling sick for two weeks now. I cannot eat much, and when I do I end up in a lot of pain about 45 minutes after eating. I am back to eating a yogurt for most meals, and some rice or toast when I need more. Lots of water too, can’t forget that.
That’s it for now.

Teen Depression
My hope is to find a way to help M with her depression. I hope that with better eating habits, more exercise, and with some required quiet time every day, she will feel better physically, which will in turn help her to feel a little better emotionally. I don’t know how this is going to work for her; but I am willing to try with her, and I think we will have a positive change in her general well-being and attitude about herself.
