♥ update in dot points

x. about half way down on my back... on the left side... it hurts. it's quite uncomfortable

x. been having a locked jaw the past few days too... uber annoying

x. lips are becoming dry... and i haven't been drinking enough water

x. finally got stat assignment done and completed... only to recieve another one today due in two weeks

x. really need to get started on that psyc lit review..... like very soon

x. can't blog as often anymore because i'm not bussing haha and driving nowadays

x. beginning to really hate peak hour traffic... i should really try to avoid driving in those hours - especially when i don't need to.. i could just stay back at uni, or come late to uni..

x. i'm quite exhausted. this week's been pretty full on for me. hopefully this week will lighten up slightly... but i've got a lot of catch up work to do.. and that lit review.. arghh

x. my boyfriend and i have two separate lives, but it's was pretty intertwined at the start of our relationship... but now it's sorta becoming more separate. which isn't necessarily a bad thing i guess, i'm just not use to the whole barely seeing each other / barely doing anything together anymore thing

x. had an interesting convo with rob today about religion. generally most people i talk to respect what i believe and wouldn't mmm... attack me haha. my last convo about religion with rob ended up pretty heated so this time i didn't try to justify anything, but rather tried to see what kind of perspective he had and why he thought those things... and i tried to challenge some of his thoughts. but yeah they were pretty negative but at least i kinda understand why he thinks that way now

x. continuing on with that.. we also had this convo about kids with developmental disorders. and i was surprised with he view on it, considering he's studying psychology too... like he was saying that kids with developmental disorders just shouldn't be born and if his kid ended up developing autism or something he'd give the child up to an orphanage... or if his wife was pregnant with a baby where they knew something was wrong already and she wanted to keep it.. then he'd probably leave her and stuff. so in my opinion i thought that was pretty crazy! because my heart pours out to these kids - it's not like it's their fault or that they did anything wrong. but i'm glad that he's at least gearing towards more the industrial psychology aspect of things rather than anything to do with clinical because i'm not sure how his attitudes would fit in very well. but yeah. isn't that crazy. it took me by surprise that some people thought like that....

x. so yeah i guess my eyes have been kinda opened to how people see the world so differently from how i do...

♥ The "R" Word

watch this... the whole thing... its worth it...



i had my friend send me the link to this vid...
he had told me off for using the world "retard"... he included it as one of the "swear words" im not allowed to use or else i have to pay $1... =(

and at first i was like "NUUUU retard isnt a swear word!!!!!!"
and then i watched this video... and i was touched.

how casually do we use the word the "R word"? whether it just be to friends when joking around... or when someone does something stupid...

i wonder how the mentally disabled feel... if they could feel... feel the insults that are thrown at them. wow we really are hypocrites... i think about what he says... how his sister loves everyone... yet people throw insults at her... i think about how much she loves her brother.. and how much he loves her back... how inspiring.

so next time... next time i come across someone who may be "different"... im going to see them differently.. no, no longer a nuisance... a bother... but a beautiful person... a loving person...
