Dear Wisconsin,

I'm glad I don't live in Wisconsin because then I'd be trying to live on my own in an apartment with a roommate I'll eventually not be able to stand, making money that won't last very long because of bills and stuff.

Reading the blogs of my friends I fell lucky I don't currently have to worry about that kind of living. It seems super stressful.

Instead I decided I'm better than living in West Allis for the rest of my life. I'm having a great time in Colorado. I can't wait to get back to school for spring semester. For the most part my suite-mates don't bother/annoy me. We all get along pretty well, and if I'm not an RA for '10-'11 and can somehow afford to go back for that same school year me and Kirsten have decided we get along well enough to do the "on-campus apartment" thing together. It would be super! And then I can do summer classes because I'll have a place to live and doing so would just be way easier than coming home that summer. ;)

It's not that I HATE you Wisconsin, I just think I deserve greatness, and Wisconsin would have held me back from that greatness. Plus, Colorado is just an awesome place, and it's so beautiful there!

Love,

Amanda

The Red Pill, Why Did I Take The Red Pill?

The intro class to my major is like taking the Red Pill in the matrix. I can't really turn back now and pretend I haven't learned anything. Now like Neo, and everyone else who is no longer attached to the Matrix, I am no longer part of the Matrix either. In one sense, I really can't wait to see what else I learn about people, culture, the environment, Earth, and all this stuff.. but I feel like it's just going to make me feel not good... :-/

I just know so many people who don't really care about their impact on the planet, and it makes me sad.

Oh well I have a sleep headache so I'm going to go offline, eat something, then get ready for/go to bed...

smoking or nonsmoking?

What are your feelings towards smoking? What rights do you think smokers and non-smokers should have?

I got these questions off "writer's block" on LiveJournal. I didn't want to write about there, but I will try writing about it here.

My feelings toward smoking are I hate it, it's kind of gross, and I never have nor will I ever smoke! Also, take note that I'm answering this question based off of cigarettes, not weed... maybe some other time I'll discuss my feelings on weed.

But anyway back to the topic. I feel like if a smoker wants to slowly kill themselves with all the bad things in cigarettes that's is fine for them, but they should do it in their own time, and not around non-smokers. As a non-smoker i can't stand the smell or how I feel when I'm around smokers puffing at their cigs. Even when I'm walking to class behind a smoker it makes me feel unhealthy! I guess being outside is better than trapping the smoke inside, but I just guess people should be more aware, and more considerate of non-smokers.

I have known people to have lung cancer and it's hard to think about because that's something that could have been prevented.

I feel like non-smokers have the right be be in healthy environment without smoking going on. We choose not to smoke because of the health risks but being in an environment such as a bar with a bunch of smokers is just as bad as smoking personally. Also, children are always smoked around but that's really bad for the children. Since they're children they either don't know what's going on is bad for them or don't have much of a say because adults have more power over the children.

The End.

I really should be sleeping. Excited to go home though! (I think that's what's keeping me awake).

If you want to know my opinion about something post a comment and next time I'll talk about it.

Peace.

I need material or a more exciting life.

I need to attract more people to this blog so I can make money off of it! I have only made one cent the entire time I've been using blogger and google adsense...

It's almost winter break though! I'm glad about that because I would like to see some people I haven't seen in a long time. I am so ready for winter break! And a new semester!!

If you would like to hear my opinions about something, comment this blog and I'll write about it next time!
