Hi IPOMers! :) I'm glad to say, that life, and my world are a bit better these days. :) If you've read my last letter, you know without asking, that I had been struggling with some pretty lousy emotions and situations. For the time being, things have died down, and I'm getting a little rest from it all. I have had to make some decisions though, namely educational decisions. I have come to the conclusion that becoming a therapist may not be the best decision for me...so I have decided that the thing that would make me ultimately the happiest, is to teach college or university level classes, in sociology/anthropology/Women's & ethnic studies. I have changed my double major from psychology/anthropology, to sociology/anthropology. The nice thing is, I already have the requirements for anthropology done, and only require three courses plus the completion of gen ed to be done with the sociology half. Problems of Modern Society & Minority Relations should be a piece of cake, but Statistics for the Social Sciences should be an uphill battle. But I'm ready for the battle, I think. Wanna know why? Because I stopped being stupid, and started taking my anti-depressants again. My psych also put me on a higher dose than what I was taking before I stupidly stopped taking it. I also have started to make decisions on what colleges to apply to. I have fallen in love with a few's various programs, but I've narrowed it down to four Cal State Universities to apply to. They are, in the order I most wish to get into them, Cal State Sacremento, Cal State Fresno, Cal State Bakersfield, Cal State Los Angeles. My long-distance boyfriend has been trying to get me to come finish my A.A. in his home state of Ohio, but I really can't. And I probably ought to get my B.A. here as well. In other news, I feel like a bad Metallichick for saying this, but I have been listening to Metallica for the first time in quite a while. Months. I guessed I just needed a break. Yesterday I was cleaning my room, and wanted some cleaning music, and the first CD my eyes spotted was Master of Puppets. I threw it on the stereo, and it was a nice change of pace. Made me clean faster. ;) I just put it on again. Feels nice. You may not know this, but I collect buttons. Not the clothes kind, I mean the kinds with pictures and slogans on them. Well, last month, among my latest acquistions, I got a Metallica one! It's a square copy of the Master of Puppets cover. You too can have it for your book bag, leather jacket, whatever, if you go to Hot Topic and search for Metallica. If you have read the latest entries in Where Are They Now, you know that Dave Mustaine is feeling really down. Well, if you're a particularly big fan, I hope you'll register at Megadeth's boards, read what he has to say about that, and maybe send him an email of encouragement. I did, and he replied with "Thank you for the kind words". What else can I tell you about...oh yes, I'm doing better about getting to your Met Mentions and Where Are They Nows faster, but I could still do better. I will see what I can do about making sure I check my mail and update more often. I have other projects I'm working on, as always. I will write about that next month. One thing I'd like to start creating, is an anti-racist, anti-sexist resource site for women of color. There's not all that much for us out there. Anyway, enjoy my vibe list, and catch ya next month, or hopefully on our boards. Love and bruises, Annaleigh |
