Introduction

Hi, I know this is a little late, but I think we get a little extra time since class just started. Anyways,
I'm Christina. I'm a 23 year old senior, I'll be graduating this May. I took this class because I've always wanted to take it for several semesters, but couldn't fit it into my schedule. I was really glad that I could fit it into my schedule this semester.
I think the most pressing issues of 2010 are self-confidence. Women and girls are constintly being told that they do no fit the mold. I feel that the mold needs to broken.
My 5 questions for this semester are:
1- Why does weight seem to be such an issue for males and females?
2- What is considered a healthy weight?
3- Are the same companies behind male and female products for beauty?
4- At what weight do males consider females to be fat?
5- Why do females feel the need to be tan?

I think...

MY wants and needs at the moment.

Fat.

Crystal Renn is fucking beautiful and fat. Wait, fat might be harsh. Overweight maybe and curvy sounds nice as well. I'm curvy or overweight or fat. It all depends on your perspective.
My weight is a touchy subject. Its yo-yo'd over the years and currently I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I'm not huge right now, I'm pretty much in the same category as Ms. Renn up there.
Being curvy sucks. At times, I'm proud of myself, and my wonderful assets, but then at times I wonder if my problems would all disappear if I was just a little skinnier.
I feel as if the men will always overlook me for the skinnier version.

Twenty-Ten

Holy shit. A new decade. I'm really glad to have a clean slate.
I declare my resolutions to be:

1- Love... Love my family, my friends more than ever. Also having a bf wouldn't hurt, but I'm not looking.

2-Time... I will budget my time more wisely.

3- Future... I'm worried about my future, but I'm going to worry less and let what is supposed to happen, happen.

4- Happiness... I'm going to be happy.


Thats pretty much it. It seems simple, but lord knows it will be difficult.

And, this is pretty much my anthem for 2010.

2009

Is it wrong to just want to get away from everything for a while. To run away?
I'm glad the new year is upon us. 2009 held a lot of disappointment for me.
I graduate in May. My plan, currently is to go to Austin to be a teacher. I have a interview in February and hopefully I'll get the gig. It will be hard and difficult, but I'm ready.

You never know what tomorrow will bring...

Cap & Trade Explained (Story of Cap & Trade)

This is sad and half-way true. I do believe in global warming. I think the things that we do affect the planet. Maybe, the planet will be here for another billion years, maybe it won't. We should still be aware of our actions; our actions towards the planet, and towards other people.

Everyone seems to be so cranky. Why aren't people nicer?
Be nice.
