I Hate Goodbyes!

If there is one thing I really hate doing is saying goodbye.. Throughout my college career I have grown so close to so many people including professors. It's so sad to think that I will not have the comfort of coming back to Bridgewater in the fall. I have learned so much in my time here, and I am especially glad that I changed majors from Criminal Justice to Communication Studies. If I had not, I would never have had the opportunity of being in class with all of you and having amazing professors such as Bjorn!
I really wish you all the best in your future endeavors! And I can't say goodbye so I'm just going to say- See you later =)

O Man, Manny!



Today Los Angeles Times reported that famous ex-Red Sox player Manny Ramirez tested positive for Steroids! Since failing the drug test he has been suspended 50 games starting today, Major League Baseball confirmed.
What an idiot, if you ask me! It is bad enough he got traded from the best MLB team (Boston Red Sox!!) but, he sure showed his new team the Dodgers, how dependable he is!
His suspension will cost him $7.7 Million dolloars LA Times reported! That is probably chump change to him, but if you think about it- that is a TON of money! I honestly think professional sports players make too much money, ecspecially with our broken/corrupted economy.

A statement from Ramirez according to the LA Times - "Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was okay to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons".

It looks like Ken Griffey Jr. will be the only clean player left with hall of fame numbers from talent not steroids!!

Stress Mess


Ok, so they only two words totally appropriate to describe me right now is a STRESS MESS! Out of all my wonderful five years here at Bridgewater State College, I can honestly say I have never been this stressed out. I'm not sure if it's because I'm graduating in 14 days or if because my 20 page 495 paper is due Thursday and i am just about on page 5 now. It is not that I am a procrastinator because I am much the opposite- It is just that I cannot think of anything else to write about globalization in the country of Greece.
And, on top of my 192 papers due this week, graduation right around the corner, I have to worry about getting my resume out there and finding a job now! I do have a 'six month' grace period with my insurance..then woop there it goes, and i am insurance-less! On top of that.. I'm going to have to find a real doctor... my pediatrician is kicking me out :( (Whyyy Dr. B?)
I don't even know how to relax right now if I tried - Does anyone have any suggestions??
