Teen Pregnancy

Oh my God teen pregnancy rates must be through the roof right now. Bringing a life into the world is the most beautiful thing that one can experience, and I'm so excited for when my time comes. But listen kids, it's not a trend! IT'S A FREAKING HUMAN LIFE. Your life is going to change FOREVER. Things will NEVER be the same. It's not something you can just put away when you're tired of it. It's a FULL time job. Ugh. All these girls that I went to school with are pregnant...it's obviously unplanned, and likely out of wedlock. Think about that child's life for a second, and use some protection.

Short update after a silly rant

I haven't updated in a while, so I thought I'd write a quick one.
School is crazy right now. I just started my online speech class on Monday (after Spring Break), but while it seems to be pretty easy, it's actually a bit of work. I have an assignment and a test for it due Tuesday @ 1, so really they're due Monday because I'll be in class until close to 1. Also, on Tuesday I have a biology test that I'm so lost on the criteria. Biology is so difficult for me to comprehend! I need to catch up on reading in every class /: this is going to be a long weekend, but it's probably going to be over before I'm good and ready for it to be.
Not much progress on the move, update later.

a little rant about parenting (or lack there of)

 

 Alright so here's my beef: I get where it is explicit and everything, and it wouldn't be appropriate for children.. BUT good parenting 101: make sure your child understands that everything that they read or see in the media (internet, etc.) isn't real life, it isn't something you should necessarily follow, and it's FAKE. I'm nineteen years old, and my whole life I have had the understanding that I can't just do whatever I see because I see it, I have to interpret within it's own context, and realize that it isn't real life; it doesn't pertain to me as an idividual. I find it frustrating that parents are blaming behaviors on media but (for the most part) I blame the parents. You have to monitor a child's activities and NOT AVOID, but help understand what they see in the media isn't necessarily relevant to life; it's a show! It's entertainment! Once your child has that understand, they'll be able to watch anything and understand it within it's OWN context. Just because I watch the Telephone video doesn't mean I'm going to start prancing around in my fishnets and leather-studded bra, and roll my hair in coke cans! Just like when I saw Britney Spears dance at her school in a midriff revealing sweater didn't mean I was going to do it. (I realize the difference of degrees here) My point is, a childs behavior is an example of their parenting.

But you know, what's entertainment without a little controversy?

So we skipped another day for painting my room, but now it's finished. It's terribly plain... meh. I got blue bedding to match for when we decide to show the house, they look good! It's nice to have a comforter for a change as opposed to a quilt. I also bought some microfiber sheets. They're really soft but for some reason they're kind of big! like they bunch up in the middle of the bed, it's quite strange.
I've started watching Glee, I mean right now it's actually between seasons (season 2 starts 4/13) but I downloaded the first and watched all but I think the last 2. I like it, it's pretty good. Lots of teen drama, it's really cute though. Lots of LOLz, and some tears. Excited for April 13th...
So since I've been staying up late to catch up, and get some TV in, I obviously aren't going to sleep that early. Well Izzy has decided that she can't jump on the bed anymore...she's getting too fat and her legs aren't going to be able to support her if she gets any fatter ): She wakes me up 4-5 times a night to let her on the bed. It's frustrating but I like when she sleeps with me so I deal with it.
My biology teacher is still fail. Sociology and Philosophy are alright though. I'll make it though.... I'm done writing here, haha.
Peace.

Oh yeah, and..

The highlight of today will be when I take a shower. I'm gross, tired, and now I'm flustered. It's going to be an even longer day when my dad gets back...

trying to move sucks...

So we've been doing a little at a time to get ready to get our house on the market so we can get out of here. This weekends project was painting my room from black to white. So obviously painting white on black is bad enough in itself because it's not a one-coat project. We went ahead and got kilz so that it would only take 2 coats, 3 at most. So we painted that on yesterday - with my dad doing anything it takes three times as long as it should. He's like me doing homework - finding a million things to distract him from doing what he needs to do (which is what I'm doing right now...I should be doing my philosophy assignment). So anyway, we did one coat of kilz last night, and today we were going to do the white. Well, my dad got 'antique' white and it's so not even the right color...either my baseboards aren't antique white or that's a really wrong perception of antique white. Needless to say we should been done by now and its already 5PM.
Anyway, it'll be done soon enough.
Next weekend: shampooing my old bedroom? I wish the weather would warm up and stop raining only because there needs to be repairs done outside and it's been too nasty, or we've been too busy to do them. Ugh, I really wanna get this show on the road and be moving this summer so I can move and decorating my new room while I'm not having to worry about school. Beggars can't be choosers, ha.
