I give up

[Griff]

Any chance of lightening your class load next semester? It is important to keep working toward the degree and if possible getting work in a related field. You should make sure your strategies for studying are efficient as well by setting up your times and places to study and not to get hung up reading the Cellar when there's work to be done.

Well I'd definately recommend moving heaven and earth to get caught up on your sleep, everything will take you twice as long otherwise. I'm just curious, but what made you so sure you didn't want to be a nurse? Summer after graduation is sort of an odd time to have a revelation like that. I don't know much about either CPS or APS, but try to be careful what area of law enforcement you get into if you really do want to help people. One of the law professors here was a DA before he quit in disgust. It's probably like in medicine, don't waste a good heart in it because it's guaranteed to be blackened by the experience

I worked as a certified nurse's aid. I realized that even as a nurse you don't have much influence to improve a person's life only perhaps momentarily ease the pain. I hate abuse...there is nothing that disgusts me more and my goal is to try and make changes. I want to start in a law enforcement field, but I want to end up in law making/legislation. I think the experience that I could gain in a field such as CPS would give me a good perspective as to where the problems are. I already have a strong belief that the main issue is education. Children are innocent beings and their life should not be entrusted to whoever is able to get pregnant...just because your sex organs work doesn't mean your brain does. (I have a cousin with 3 children that proves this). I don't think that you should have to be approved to have children necessarily, but being able/willing to complete courses on child raising/parenting should be considered as a future requirement.

I don't want to crush your dreams, morethanpretty... but if you were disappointed at the ability a nurse has to improve people's lives, Child Protective Services is probably not the place for you to work.

Well I have screwed myself over quite well.

Project 3

For this project, you will combine the assignments on pages 582 & 589. You will select a single issue, research the issue through the library, and complete the following:
Analysis of 2 visual arguments previously published—as in the assignment on page 582;
Creation of your own visual argument that presents your own position on the issue;
3-5 page essay that explains your visual argument (analysis);
3-5 page essay that presents your position on the argument (documented essay);
AND an annotated bibliography of 10 sources you read for the project.

Formal proposals must be completed following the Stasis Questions (see my website for more reading on this, and for a brief tutorial on the questions and proposal writing). The formal proposal is due 10-11.

The final projects are due on 11-13, and presentations of visual arguments will begin in class that day. As you do not know when I will call on you to present, it is imperative that you be in class each day of the presentations. You will also be quizzed on the presentations upon our return from the holiday—you do not want to miss any of your classmates’ presentations, either

This is due today. Haven't started...have the class in less than an hour.

There is probably no where that is a good place for me to work. I'm lazier than LJ.

It would be weird to have sex at a friend's place dontja think (i do, besides we don't).

*pfffft* when the need arises you can have sex on the floor in a room full of people, and be perfectly ok with it. or a park bench. or a movie theater. or a bathroom at TGI friday's. or on the lawn. or... get the point?
