| Pulling my last late-night cram session. I graduate Sunday.
I am procrastinating so I decided to write a speech of no importance:
Here goes. *ahem*
I would like to thank Eric R. Kandel, James H.
Schwartz, and Thomas M. Jessel, for writing my "Principles of Neural
Science" textbook. Without it, I would not be graduating. A
year a go I never thought I would know what the dorsolateral descending
system of the brain stem was, much less be writing an essay about
it.
I would also like to thank the Monster Beverage
Company. Many a nights have I injested your wonderful green
substance, full of l-carnitine, taurine, ginseng, and vitamin B.
(3 of which i have no idea what you are).
I would also like to thank each and every person who
has screwed me over. Without you, I would not be who I am
today. I would be that Kristin we all remember well, that
pushover that everyone took advantage of.
I am glad to say that I hold only those who matter close to me.
eh, it was a short speech, but maybe I'll add more later.
Everything is bittersweet, but I'm happy. I am. It's been not even
10 days and I am ok. I'm over it. I look forward to what
life has in store for me. And I'm not lookin' back. on anything. I am ready to start anew. I realized I'm a strong person. There is no reason to let anyone get
the best of you, and if they do, it's not really worth it. Lord only
knows why I allowed it to persist for so long. Maybe it's called
growing up. Shit, I think I just did...

| It's been awhile...but I don't really have anything to report to you. I find the happiest times of my life are when I have nothing to say. | | |
| "You find yourself a man," was the last thing my sister said to me playfully as I walked out the front door to begin my trek back to Carthage after Easter break. I don't think it struck me until now though...that I find that a very sad statement... that my sister wishes my happiness attached to a penis. Can't I appear happy without a boyfriend? Can anyone be truly happy without that "someone" in their life? It's an honest question I find myself asking lately. I've been single for 11 months now. Although I have had a quasi-feeling of the sort since, I feel uneasy about how I am playing with the situation. and to be very honest, I don't believe I've ever truly been in love anyway. and yes, the unknown and all of the hype about it makes it a very enticing package...but I wish that people didn't find themselves incomplete without a love relationship. and I wish I didn't find myself incomplete without one sometimes too. My mother shares the same sentiment. It just makes me uneasy.
Right now, I'm a full time student, I have a part-time job (which feels very full at the moment, ugh), I'm begininng to write my senior thesis, I have a mentorship program to start this summer, I'm searching for grad schools, I'm going to graduate college in a little over a year...I feel I'm furthering myself in many aspects of my life. I just hate feeling like I need that extra something to feel complete. It does not suit my ethics at all. People should not feel the need to find a relationship. If it happens, that's absolutely wonderful, but if not, we shouldn't feel incomplete, unwanted, out-of-the-loop, etc. and our mothers and sisters should not make us feel that it is required to be a woman. Women do not need men to be complete anymore...and I feel that is all my sister is doing...buying time until she finds a man to support her and her daugher. I hate how she's not living up to her potential (wow that's the understatement of the year).
so there's my rant. Ladies, search for happiness elsewhere...Find meaning in other aspects of your life. | | |
| um, it's been a while. to quickly recap the exciting points of my life at this moment:

accepted to do the 'Social Science Student Undergraduate Research Program' this summer
easter = friends + family
living off campus next year
woot, that's all for now. | | |

A laundry list of problems,
Doesn't make you interesting,
And never getting help doesn't make you brave,
Not listening to reason doesn't mean that you have faith,
Your just cutting off your nose to spite your face,
true dat, true dat player. | | |
