Delusions of Grandeur Posted by Happy Blogger , 18.2.11 at Friday, February 18, 2011, in

I'm going to go off on a rant if that's okay with you.
Great.

I finished all my Diploma's in january and technically I have almost enough credits to graduate twice. Why am I still staying at school? To take calculus and phsyics 20. Clearly I know where the fun is at.

I've been studying psychology which I find oddly fascinating, and according to textbook terms, I'm going into a state of 'moratorium'- essentially where a young person is stuck at a crossroads, and struggles to make adult decisions.

I was taking a psych test, and the provided example of moratorium is a student who goes travelling after high school and takes a year off to figure some things out. This will be my life starting next september.

My cousin and I have started planning a trip to Austrailia around this time next year. Our plan is to tour for a month, and then work for 2-3 months. Hopefully we'll either get jobs as an assistant in my uncles company who has an extension in Perth, or we will be working on a farm. In all honesty- I want to work on the farm.

Even though out of all the kids in my school, I probably have the least to worry about because I don't really have to worry about finishing school or anything, I always find myself stressed.
As cliché as it it, I'm stressed about the unknown. The drop off. The get out and do something with your life factor.

I realize I'm smart enough to get a job and to travel, but still. My doctor told me I should meditate to relieve my stress. Maybe I'll take up yoga classes...

Back to psychology. It's probably the general area I want to pursue in University, however there are so many branches I don't even know which path to take. I could take the more forensic root, clinical, behavioural, research, counselling. I study it all. Ambitious- I would think. Oh well. I'll give myself time to think.

I always tend to think that even though I get average marks, I'm actually smarter than all the kids in the school. That I get these marks to blend in, when actually I could be the next Einstein.
Curse you delusions of grandeur!

I'm sure everything is going to work out just fine.

I'm now going to meditate.
Or atleast try.
Wish me luck

Oprah Has Brainwashed Me Posted by Happy Blogger , at Friday, February 18, 2011, in

To put it bluntly, I tried being vegan for a week because Oprah went vegan for a week.
Funny thing is I'm not even that big of a fan of Oprah. I realized that if she said let's jump off a bridge, I would be one of those people who jumped because Oprah did. Unfortunately I'm a brainwashed zombie. Damn.

I chose a terrible week to do it, with Superbowl sunday sitting right in the middle of the week, and my friends 18th birthday.

I only lasted 3 days. I gave up when the honey garlic chicken wings were served during the half time of the game, I mean, who could give up honey garlic!?

I think I probably could have committed if I really focused. I mean, I'm not always the biggest fan of meat, and most animal by products as it is. The worst part about being a vegan in my opinion, is the lack thereof of cheese. I was seriously deprived. Cheese is stupidly amazing.

Veganism isn't for me. Maybe I could sway vegetarian? I could still keep my cheese...huh!

I want a cheeseburger.
That's all.
