Nov. 12
Feelings: It's been about a week without my Paxil. I'm okay. I
was working all long weekend and it was busy, so I haven't gotten a
chance
to go and pick it up. It was also cold and the roads weren't very good
either. I did get to see my counselor. I also chatted with two of my
friends on the phone. I also got to watch TV shows I liked so that
makes me happy.
Teen pregnancy: It's also been
about a week since I saw that Dr. Phil ep. I decided to go back and
read those comments on that show about that teen girl Kayla who got
pregnant on purpose. It's on twop.com and I had to make a comment about
it (it's basically from my blog).
I didn't get angry
reading it as people diss them. I'm keeping myself in check. Here's a comment:
"The boy's dad was a total jackass. There is no other way to describe him other than a jackass."
I
did see the previews of the upcoming episodes of a man who hits his
wife, and mothers who hit their children. I scanned some comments, and I
didn't get angry because I avoided watching the show. I can't watch
and absorb all this. If I sit and watch it, I will get angry. I'm at a
distance by looking at these comments, but not seeing show.

I
then checked out twop.com
"TV moments
angry up the blood." I didn't put this comment on my blog, but I will
now. I did write a review about it, but not this exact comment:
Me: I was watching the TV movie The Pregnancy Pact on Youtube because I'm
really interested in teen pregnancy. I was angry at it because the
girls were really stupid for getting pregnant on purpose. It gets worse
when they show one of them smoking, and another girl saying she's going
to a party and drink alcohol: "I'll have like a sip, or half a drink."
Later on, they show the girls totally chugging alcohol when they're pregnant.
Teen Cribs: There was a rant about this show:
Turkish: Pretty much every episode of Teen Cribs angries up my blood. For those
not aware of what it is, Teen Cribs is a spinoff of MTV Cribs where
spoiled rich kids show off their parents houses. That's all it is. Their
is no way you will make it through an episode liking anyone involved. I
just don't understand the point of this show or who MTV thinks this
show appeals to. I get showcasing celebrity homes but a show where a
bunch of nobody kids of wealthy people (most of whom aren't celebrities)
brag about mansions and expensive shit they didn't even buy is the
height of obnoxious. I don't think MTV is making new episodes but they
did air a marathon today and I just had to rage about it.
Here's some more info about this show:

On Tumblr, there are some snarky comments and pics about it too:

Feng shui:
I first learned about this when I read a teen magazine about it. I've
read about it in other teen magazines and the newspaper. I was reading
about it on the internet.
Right brain: Feng shui says to clear
out clutter in your room or house, because clutter will disrupt your chi
(energy) flow in your room. It will have an effect on your life.
Left brain: Of course, it's good to clear out clutter so it can help you find things
easier.
Nov. 13:
Right brain: Feng shui says that
computers, TV, and work out equipment shouldn't be in your bedroom
because of the electricity will affect your chi. The bedroom is a place
to rest.
Left brain: I have read in newspapers, that if you have
a TV in your room, it will affect your sleep. It makes you want to
stay up late to watch TV. If it was in the living room, then it won't
affect your sleep.
Clean: Reading Feng shui did inspire me
to clean my room and my computer desk. I actually threw out some
things like old receipts in my room. However, the computer desk is a
bit harder. I actually cleaned out one drawer yesterday. There were
papers and things from 2002. It belonged to my dad and brother, so I
gave the papers to them. I wiped the drawer and was able to put in 3
folders that were sitting on top of the
desk.
Medication: Today I finally picked up my medication
and took a pill. I noticed physical changes in myself without the
medication. I didn't have much of an appetite which is fine. I wasn't
tired. I usually drink 3 cups of coffee a day, and sleep on the bus
ride home from work. Instead, I drink 2 cups of coffee and don't sleep
on the bus at all without my meds.
I didn't feel really sad. I did notice it was harder for me to concentrate and focus. Now I need to focus, that's important.
Nov. 15 Doing too much: I
was thinking about that song again by Paula Deanda called "Doing Too
Much." She sings "Baby, am I doing too much?" I ask: "Am I doing
enough?" Sometimes I feel like I'm not working enough. On Tues. I
could have taken a shift at Call Centre #6, but I decided to work one
shift on Wed. instead.
Then I thought: "I could have worked 2
shifts." However, I was really busy at the restaurant for the past 4
days so I needed one night to relax. That's good, because today I
stayed way later at the restaurant than I was scheduled too. One worker
had to leave earlier, and she asked for me to take over, so I did.
Homework article: I was reading an article called "The after school battleground" by Kate Hammer in the Globe and Mail
on Nov. 2, 2012. It talks about how homework is good and bad. French
President Francois Hollande is against homework because of the
disadvantages. When students of poorer backgrounds do homework, they
don't get as much help as a student with two educated parents.
It
mentioned it's good to have homework because Canada is lagging behind
students in China and Korea. The solution is about a moderate amount of
homework like have students to do what they didn't finish in
class.
Flashback: I even remember in gr.7, my math
teacher Mr. Roberts told my class that he talks to our science teacher
Mr. Oxamitny about what days they're assigning homework so they won't
overload us on one night.
I also remember in gr. 12 English 30
class that the teacher doesn't assign us homework because: "I get a lot
of students saying: 'I didn't complete this because I had so much
homework in my other class.'" That's good.
Unlike my gr. 11
Social Studies teacher Mr. Smith who said this to the class: "I don't
assign you guys homework, because I know you're not going to do it." I
was in Social 23, the low class. He may be dissing us for being
slackers and having low expectations of us, but he's telling the truth.
If he had experience teaching this class years before, what makes you
think this class will actually do their
homework?
My opinion: I think it's good to have a moderate
amount of homework. It gives you good work ethic and helps you learn. I
remember I took Math 30 Pure to upgrade. We weren't exactly assigned
homework. The teachers taught us the lesson, and the homework was
optional. They didn't mark it in class. You do the homework, and then
mark it yourself because the answer's in the back.
I did the homework, because I had to so I could learn it. If I didn't do the homework, I wouldn't be able to remember what I
learned. |
