Up to here

Yes I know I have not blogged in quite some time. However, I believe this is because I was enjoying my summer and got slightly busy with school. Why now you ask? Well because I'm well into my semester of school and Its all starting to hit me. All those little things that bother me OH so much in my everyday life are starting to eat me alive. Bit by bit, all those people in my life whos little annoying habbits are interfering with my very sanity! That is why I need to blog again. Because if I can't let it all out then im going to explode !

Ah, more to come.

Karma Police

Do you believe in it? Karma that is.
I do.
I mean - I really really hope that it exists. For good and for bad. I believe that people who do great things for others, will one day be rewarded - if they haven't already - with complete happiness. Whatever happiness is to those people, it shall be theirs. On the other hand - what about the people who hurt others? I define "hurt" as anything you want it to be. From manipulation to murder. Do those people deserve to have karma thrown in their faces?
I do.
To what extent? I think that if you have hurt someone, you do not deserve to live a happy life with everything you want and no repercussions. You don't deseve love. You don't deserve fame. You don't deserve everything that, that person you hurt, should have. You do not get to live their life. YOU hurt THEM remember? How is that fair?
This is why I HAVE to believe in karma.
It has to exist - for those people - who know people - that don't deserve what they have.

I'm not going to say that those people deserve to be miserable for the rest of their lives. Only until they realize that what they have done in the past has come full circle to make them feel as awful as the ones they have hurt have felt.

Then again, how do we know when they're going to feel that awful?
Ugh, Karma is complicated.

hey...teacher...leave those kids alone!

In my recent experience of some college classes I have been exposed to many different teaching styles that I was not exposed to in University. Some have been good and some have been absolutely terrible. Lets start with the terrible shall we? I do not understand how SOME, im not saying all, but SOME college "professors", if you want to call them that, actually land a job as a college professor. As a student - of both university and college - I am paying to learn about a certain subject as much as I can possibly stand to soak in about the wonderful world of psychology, or philosophy, or recreation or whatever it is that i enjoy learning about! And im not just paying chump change here, i'm talking loads of money. But hello, im preaching to the choir right? We're all paying through the nose for education. So whyyy is it that some "professors" college and university (although my experience has only been with college thus far) are teaching certain courses that they are clearly so utterly unqualified to teach? Tell me why am I paying all this money for some quack to stand at the front of the room, read off the slides that he or she may not have even put together themselves and appear to me like they actually know what they are talking about?!
I don't understand - if a teacher or prof is teaching a subject shouldn't they be able to answer general questions about the topic at hand? The logical answer would be YES of course, but in my experience some of my teachers have not even been able to do this.

Anyway - I have a lot of studying to do - and packing for the weekend, so I'll continue this blog at a later date!!!
