Thanks for the help!

Today I asked someone to help me out with something. There was a pretty big mess that I needed help cleaning up. What was the response I got? No help, whatsoever. The person simply told me what to do. I became quickly enraged at this. Then I began to realize how selfish people are.

If you ask someone for help, you would expect that they would be willing to help you out, right? After all, you asked them. You have some trust in them, obviously. The fact that they are willing to stand there and do absolutely nothing though, that irks me. Why would someone decide to be so, well, rotten. It bothers me that you can’t find good help these days.

Since I want to extend this post a little bit, I’ll relate it to a news story I saw today, regarding jobs. Part-time jobs seem to be becoming more common. Is this necesarily a good thing though? Personally, I don’t like the idea of having so many people working for you. I never understood why someone would work two jobs. If one pays more, wouldn’t you just stay with them? As I grew older, I realized that there are more things that contribute to the job atmosphere. Not only that, but you have to realize that employers may only have you employed for, say, four hours a day. This could be disasterous for you, but it could also be beneficial. A decent job that I can walk to would be nice. If it only was for four hours though, I would look for a second job (if I could). Perhaps I’ll be able to get a job this summer and make some additional money. That would be great. Wish me luck!

The End of It

I’m glad that a new week has finally begun. Last week was horrible for me, on multiple levels. It seemed like it would be fine. I even went to see a movie, but apparently I just had a bad week. Every day I was angered for some reason or other, and I ended up become extremely annoyed multiple times during the week.

The worst part of it though? I’ve been unproductive. I got nothing done to help further what I need to get done. everything has taken so long, and it has become quite annoying. This sunday is going to be extremely rough on me. Hopefully it ends well though.

Exams

Yesterday I finished up with my semester exams. My break officially starts on Monday, but since I don’t have any exams today I didn’t have to go in for school. I enjoyed the extra rest because the past few weeks after Thanksgiving have been hell. I never studied for any of my exams, but they were still quite a pain to have to worry about.

I actually ended up having six exams, even though they weren’t all considered “full-fledged” exams. Two of them were just playing some music. Three weren’t that bad, and the last was horrible. It was filled with vocab and an essay question that I couldn’t respond to well. I think we were given a study guide for that exam, but I don’t think I ever actually received one. It wasn’t disappointing because I never really needed it, but knowing what the essay prompts were could really have helped me out.

Another funny incident is that for one of the exams, we could have used a resource sheet. The only problem is that I didn’t put my name on it, so I never got it back. I eventually just finished the exam without it, and I don’t think I really needed it. I just did the exam without it, and it seemed fairly easy.

Overall though, the exams weren’t that bad. They were easy in their entirety, which made me happy. It was a good end to the year.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

It seems like time just flies by every day. It is already near the end of 2008!

It’s also Thanksgiving Day! Say thanks to all of the people you know! I hope you all enjoy the day and say thanks to everyone you know! ^_^

Temperature

There are far too many things to simply write a post about everything. Today, I am choosing weather. Recently, it’s been extremely warm in the room where my computer is kept. The reason for this? I don’t know. It is just simply extremely annoying knowing that it’s unbearable.

New Day

For many people, it is hard to imagine that they are a failure. I alone cannot be a sole figure who keeps this view and knows it to be true within myself. While many people may hold intelligence, an interrogative analytical side, or even a sense or pure wisdom, very few people do I know that hold the qualities of the previously stated qualities and those which you know I would list if I could put words to the seldom intelligence of the mind.

Big words, small words, and life. Many cannot believe what happens in life, and I too an on this boat. Recently, on Friday, June 13, 2008 Tim Russert passed away. He was a journalist, yet I feel as though he honestly was a hero. You can take the word in your own meaning, yet holding the qualities that many wished we could hold all at once is something he did. His co-workers, friends, and family truly miss him. Even those who did not know Tim, yet they knew him, missed him. It can be uncomprehendable as to how much you truly miss something or someone, even when you experience the empathy other feel. You may feel a loss, yet you may also not feel any pain whatsoever. When you are on a limb, you may say what your mind tells you, yet you do no understand what you are saying. To Tim Russert I say, you truly were one of the greatest and most influential people of this time. From that which we did not know, to that which we found amazing about you, it is simply stunning to finally see a whole multi-faced individual who we knew, yet we did not, yet we still did.

American Idol

Well, as I write this, I am missing out on American Idol, a show I generally watched quite frequently when I was younger. It’s amazing to see how many people audition only to have their hopes and dreams torn down and brought to the sad reality. Can you believe that people even go out simply to be on, as one character said, “the tely”?

I found it shocking to know how many people are actually just going out on the contest to be on the television, and possibly to gain some fame? Do you think it’s ever those honest few people who really deserve the fame, but never get it?

This just simply angers me because you know, when you are good at something, you should be shown! You shouldn’t have your light stolen by someone who is just doing something for their own personal desire and they truly don’t care about that desire. Ugh!
