Unbreakable

About a week ago, I received an invitation to the Honors Institute at my college. I immediately flipped open my laptop and proceeded to the honors page to register for classes and a seminar. Unfortunately, I discovered the Honors Institute is not all it's cracked up to be.

First, it favors to liberal arts majors. Most of the classes offered are in the humanities and literature. There are no honors classes offered in business, computer technology, or mathematics. They do offer one, just one, honors class in introductory physics but this particular class is not transferable to any of my top five transfer colleges.

Second, to graduate with a certificate in Honors Studies, I need to take about 12 credits in honor courses and complete a service learning elective. I already checked and the service learning elective is not transferable to any of my top five transfer colleges. I'm not suprised. Also, having to take an additional twelve credits that don't contribute to my major or core requirements is nearly impossible.

Lastly, I'm not compatible with the teaching style of one particular honors professor. And can you guess? This professor teaches the only class I'm interested in taking. Yep, I don't think the institute is best for me.

I have my sights set on Phi Theta Kappa. It's an internationally recognized honor society and much better suited to my needs.

I really don't want to smoke but I'm smoking anyway. I don't want to drink so I buy a bottle of wine and wished I bought liquor instead. I really want to get drunk right now. Maybe if I have the entire bottle, I'll get a little tipsy.

My skin is itchy from the sun poisoning I had this weekend. I have blisters in certain areas but nothing to be too concerned over.

I want to go back home before classes start but I'm ashamed of what my friends and family will think of me. I lost my job. I'm not as thin as I was before. I don't have anyone special in my life. I don't want them to see how miserable I've become... I just want to go home.

And why is it so hard to get House or 24 from the library? I just want to watch it. I can watch a entire season in two days. Maybe I should just pay to put a hold on them?

I'm happy I don't have any kids. I can't even manage my own life. I could never be responsible for another person. I'm too selfish. The world has enough selfish parents.

While we are on the subject of selfish parents...

I know a woman who is in her early 30s and refuses to care for her kids. She leaves them with her mother. Sometimes, she won't come back to pick them up for days. She won't spend money on her kids. The only reason those kids eat at all or have clothes on their back is because of their grandmother. Meanwhile, the mother spends all her money on her boyfriend's daughter. She lives in a two bedroom apartment, one for her and her boyfriend and the other for the boyfriend's daughter. Her kids either sleep in the parlor or at their grandmother's place.

I know another woman who is unemployed by choice. She moved into her parent's house with her husband. She wants to have eight kids. She knows she can't afford it and she knows her husband doesn't want that many kids. She said she didn't care. She wanted them and that's final. She lies to her husband about her birth control and now she's knocked up with kid number three. Even though she is unemployed, she still doesn't care for her two kids. Her parents takes care of them. And here she comes... with a third one on the way.

People sicken me, especially irresponsible parents.
