Day 3000: Blame it on the Goose


Drugs: Legalize them. I would never use marijuana or anything else, but as a Political Science Major I see that their are more pros than cons for the legalization of marijuana. Not to mention that our society has deemed marijuana as acceptable.

A personal issue though I have with drug use is that I've seen it consume the user, they become obsessed with it, more so than with regular alcohol consumers. However we live in the land of choice, so drug use should be optional. . . . aaaaand a cigarette once and a while is good for the nerves.

On the other hand, Alcoholic consumption, with limitation, is amazing. I love girly drinks like Vodka and Smirnoffs. Also I don't let myself go beyond the buzz, if not things can get ugly, at least from what I've seen from other people. Plus I see Alcohol as something than allows people to bond and let their guard down, it's a social lubricant.

In summery, Alcohol a big emphatic YES. Drugs: Just Say No!

Day 200: 10 Years

It is a fitting that this question should arise as question #2: Where do you want to be in 10 Years?

This year marked the beginning of a new decade and lately, I've been obsessed with taking giant steps into the future. I was devastated when I didn't get a job at the Sheriff's Dept. after months of back and forth. However recently I've gotten the opportunity to be a reading tutor at one of the local middle schools, but I don't know how that'd help me in the future. I know if I were an education major I'd be jumping at this opportunity. My ultimate goal in the foreseeable future is in law enforcement. I know, I know. Political Science = Lawyer, but if I could be a super hero I would, and what is the next best things for us mortals to do? Bring justice to the people!

Currently, I want to fill my resume with work experience and a sprinkle of University organizations. In 10 years from now I want to be doing something fulfilling and challenging and I want to keep pushing myself if not academically then in my profession.

I'll be 29 in 10 years and it's up to God and the Universe who I'll be sharing my life with in terms of a husband or children. I mean who know what the Mayan calendar holds as well?

I'm curious what the future holds, but for now I'll enjoy the ride, even if I'm unaware that I'm barely on the cusp of even starting the ride.
