Deeper

I really enjoy the Deeper band! Great CD, I recommend it highly. Anywho, what have I been up to......alot of work!! Wow...there is just not enough to sleep, ever. I have a group sport psych papier due on Monday, which I only have to write one paragraph for but I keep putting it off...I am dumb. So tomorrow is the day when it will get written. I have also been working on reading for my Intro to Cognition midterm that is next week and studying for my anatomy quiz (which went really well, I do believe!) And good news, I got 80% on my Anatomy midterm. The average was 69% so I am happy. So things are paying off, but you can definitely tell the worload has increased this year, which I don't mind. Last year was kind of a joke so this year is a challenge. Keeps things interesting I suppose. Maybe this way my dad won't think my program is a considered glorified highschool...because it definitely isn't.
So today I went to donate some of my awesome blood, and yet again I wasn't able to. Apparently you have to wait a year after you get a tatoo to donate blood! Who the heck knows this??? I sure didn't. I was quite disappointed. This is the third time I have been turned away to give blood. ...I tell ya, I try to do a nice thing and I just can't seem to succeed. ACK!
So today Halo 2 came out....and I heard on the news that people were lining up last night to get into the stores this morning to get it....RIDICULOUS!!! I have played Halo 1 before and it was just like any other video game...what is so special about it???? I don't think I like the fact that kids are playing it...or anyone for that matter...it is really violent and yeah...I do think, to some extent, that the media influences our actions...maybe not ouvertly but definitely subtly, in just how you act and things you may say or even just think. And now I have lost my train of thought.......where was I going??? OH, I got it. Even the music videos that they show, are so sexually explicit (naked girls galore!), even if you don't think it affects you, it does. Trust me. The images are stored in your memory...maybe not even in conscious memory but they are still there and can lead to some not so great thoughts and ideas. So I think we need to screen what we are watching and reading...like it says somewhere in the bible (I can't fine the verse for the life of me) to set our sights on heavenly things so that is what we will be focussed on and will think about. And I think that is all I got for tonight. Tis bedtime for this girl. God Bless you one and all!!
