Last Day of Rest

Today’s been long, and frazzling. That’s saying the least. I finished a rough draft of my argument paper for English 101, and began working on my Texting While Driving paper. The last is something I’ve been feeling strongly about the last few years. It’s because of all the deaths of young individuals with so much to live for over a single text. It’s an epidemic.

Tomorrow, I go back to school, and I am looking forward to it. I hate being out of school. I like having somewhere to go during the day, even if it’s for a short time. The summer semester is upon me, as well. I am taking English 102 and Math 082. Not bad. I’m looking for to those, even though I fairly certain it is going to go by so fast, I’ll die! LOL.

I have something else to look forward to this Summer. I am going to see my friends Lir and Veet in Georgia. We met online, but we’ve been friends for a little over a year. I’m looking forward to it. ^^ July is going to be something interesting for me. I get a break from my # 2 Family at the apartment, and a break from my real family at my parents’ house.

So I keep thinking about these things, and holding on to them. The more frustrated I get with keeping up with shit, the more I call on these things to help me cope. Yes, I still try and go to the Downworld of New York City on the astral plane. Sometimes, I even visit Jem on the Black Friar’s bridge. That’s where I take some time to relax myself.

I can’t talk on the phone while driving (at least not without a hands free kit) because I use hand controls. I’m thankful for that because I don’t want to be tempted to check a text or dial a number while driving. This keeps me from even considering it. Too many senseless deaths. I -love- school. If I could, I’d be a lifelong student. I wish I could afford to take a few classes each semester.

MPI (Manitoba Public Insurance) has been campaigning about that, actually, because it’s so bad. I think they said you are 25x more likely to be in an accident due to texting than not! And this is my main OD. 🙂 I mentioned that I was thinking of moving to a new journal, but I haven’t announced I made a 2nd acct yet. I wanted to see how searchable the new journal is, etc, etc. Plus it’s only a day old, so I can’t post links or anything. I’d also have to ask for my OD+ subscription to be moved over… then I’d have to leave an OD announcement up without letting an ex-friend (non OD member) get at it… In short, perhaps not worth the headache 🙂 Certainly not going to leave OD, however! This is my home, like no other on the internet. I’ve tried others… never panned out. I couldn’t even remember to login to LiveJournal on occasion when friends left here for there :/ And I hate the ‘blog roll’ format. But thank-you for your wonderful encouragement to stay 🙂
