The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth

Hola mightly blogdom!

Today we will discuss my thoughts on alchohol and drug use, specifically in a college setting and by those indiviuals who do not pass the mark (you must be this old to harm your body.) On this topic, I feel I must warn you, many will disagree with my views. Actually, nearly to completely all of you will.

I am anti-everything. I feel that our bodies are gifts (God's gifts. . .just kidding, no God talk here) given to us by an amazing and spectacular evolutionary line. (see blog #1 if you are confused) And to take deliberate action to destroy that gift is just, well, stupid. And this is reason number one for my hatred of these (and all) substances. I feel like it is important to try to be your best (whatever that may be) and to just surrender that for nothing is like a starving man throwing his last loaf of bread into the water because the splash looks interesting. There are other ways to produce a splash.

That is the primary reason for my concern. And following that, the loss of respect and lack of trust. It is an issue that you (any of you) would be willing to do that. And this leads to my next topic, which may seem a little "woe-is-me" but I will discuss it anyway.

I have worked hard to stay healthy. I am a juvenile diabetic and that lovely feeling of health (that you all enjoy with no work) is sometimes a difficult thing to accomplish. So, if you are so willing to give it up then I can do nothing but scoff at your stupidity. It is selfish to juggle your wellbeing so precariously when others fight for theirs every single day....

So, if you ever feel the need to do these obviously imbecilic actions, please don't talk to me about them or invite me to be included, because the answer will be no, and I, honestly, will never look at you the same again.

I am nothing to you but Captain, and you, nothing to me but passengers.

Hello. Today we will explore the ever-fasinating world of male hormones. . . just kidding. Although, at times I would love to explore those (seemingly empty) minds. They seem to have no real rational thought process or logical reasoning  at all, (at least at a teenage level) but hey, who am I to question the thought processes of others (ah, how sad, the odd girl wants to know about boys).

Anyway, I have a (nauseatingly) large amount of work I actually have to do, but sometimes even I (what?? the great you?) enjoy spending time finding other less important (meaning totally pointless) activities to spend my time on. So, at this moment I am blogging, and later I will probably dedicate a large portion of my time to multiple pacings of the hallway or a few games of the historically facinating game of polar bowler (available on Gateway Games) Exhilarating, I know.

Ah, college life, it is amazing to discover the amount of time we have absolutely nothing to do. Honestly, sunday evening, and the best I have come up with (remember, I am very close to genius) is to blog to my 4 (thousand) fans.

But seriously, let's explore a topic. How about occupying a room with another? That sounds good to me (the one who actually matters) so lets begin.

In my case it is actually not as utterly annoying as it may sound (or seem) to some of you. I got off easy though, others I know have been expelled from their dwellings multiple times for. . . um, well. . for personal activities. These activities demonstrate two things; One, the less than active mind of young men (stupidity at its greatest) and, two, the clear selfish nature of the human race.

Now, there are those of you out there who may want to glorify this selfishness. (cough *males* cough) You may say things like, "well, this selfish nature is the key to our survival." And that, my friends, is bull. You and I both know it. Although I would love to have something to cherish or praise as part of the human race,(Ice cream, chocolate cake, democracy?) I am afraid anything that you try to do this with is also directly related with a horrible or humiliating standard amoung our species. (weight gain, nausea, communism)

Disgusted? Me too, don't worry, the stomachache inducing initial feelings soon fade to simple dissatisfaction. (followed by a drive to leap out of the nearest window, which you may want to try to ignore)

And as for men and the thoughts surronding that chunk of human nature, well, that may just remain a mystery. (And you may not want to waste your time, I don't blame you) *

But I am quite thankful for my roommate. She is quiet, rarely present, and easy to get along with. (sorry everyone else, life just sucks, doesn't it?) So thank you Jessica, for that much.

Well, adios copius followers! Tomorrow we will tackle the tricky topics of frivolous alcohol and drug use (which I am thoroughly and completely against.)

*I will add a stipend for those of you who do not follow this general ouline of "guydom." (those very few "good guys" who always fall to the wayside) You may see the altered logic and problematic importance of those "other" guys. Good for you, you are there to keep. Lovely, wish there were more of you, then we could finally have a decent society. (sort of) And please, continue with the hightened level of evolution, the women of the world will find you and cherish you, I promise. But honestly, you need to represent, because this summary (my lovely blog) is what the world sees now, so please, begin assimilation of the weaker of your sex. (Thank you)

And when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.

Ok, so yesterday (yesterday, right? Ugh, my days are running together) we went over my basic reason for becoming a doctor, although I left out the sappy, caring being information, but you will be fine, believe me.

Today I will go over my decision to become a Hanoverian. (It is a fine school, even to a pessimist like me.) This I will do since I am sure all of my now thousands of readers (yeah, right) are dying to hear why I chose Hanover College. Well, fret no more my friends, here is your explanation:

I knew I wanted to go somewhere in Indiana. This is simply for the fact that mom was experiencing some anxiety about the distance (yes, my mother was more anxious than I) and so I decided to appease her and go somewhere relatively close.

That is reason number one. The second pertains to the beauty of the campus and the friendliness of the school staff. Both of these issues were very important to me in my search for a campus worthy of my presence.

Hanover is an astoundingly lovely campus. It is almost pure nature, and is surrounded by a lush forest, waterfalls, and good 'ol Indiana farmland. I felt instantly at home. And to top it off, I even made friends with the charming gentleman in charge of the food services on campus after he thoughtfully singled me out at our leap session (pre-class sign up). And so, there was obviously no other campus fit for my tuition (which is hefty, but worth it.)

And I am very happy here, at least in class, where I feel the most at home; inside a textbook, working diligently on a paper, etc. And I am sure I will be "in class" most of the time, much to the dismay of a few (like literally 1 or 2) friends who seem to like me (I'm still not sure why. . ) But I guess I'm not here for friends (which is quite obvious if you chart my actions around others) but simply here to get through class and get accepted to a decent (by that I mean astonishingly good) medical school.

And I will get accepted into a "decent" medical school. (Yes, you can quote me.)

Alrighty then, that is a bit of reading. I guess it doesn't matter though, all you (now millions of) readers will bask in the smooth delicacy that is my writing. Enjoy.

The (probably faulty) logic

Hello, Nonexistent followers!

So, I will start with a brief introduction. First of all, I realize that almost- well, not almost- literally no one will be reading this blog. That is fine, obviously I am not a person who desires dearly to relate to the general population (see blog title.) If you feel that need, lovely, go build a house for the poor or develop a way to provide inmates with more company in the cell they occupy. It isn't that I hate people exactly, it is simply that I hate to love them.

People, in general, are riddled with flaws. They have deep emotional turmoil, hardships, and complex social rituals, everything a young pessimist finds easily to eliminate the "goodness" so many people talk about. This is where I make my entrance.

It seems that the eager young collegiate would be open to accept the world, and that, probably, would be completely true, except for the fact that I, too, am a person and by simple logic am also riddled with flaws. Unfortunate, I know. But the real issue with my existence is the fact that I am pre-med. I will always be in medicine, and have always wanted to be in medicine. It may seem like a problem, but. . . .well, here, let me just summarize the logic (this will all pull together, I promise).

Ok, so, I hate the complex emotions and social aspects of humanity, however, I feel like there is a very important reason that we are here (no, not religiously, definitely not religiously) and this reason is biological, and evolutionary, and very important. See, I subscribe to the philosophy of science (big bang, evolution, etc. etc.) and therefore know that we are all entangled in a web (are you catching on??) This web is extensive, but the health and knowledge that we hold as a race enables us to exist in and take effect on this web. So, as a Doctor, I will have the knowledge to preserve and help the web exist as an entity. I will be helping everyone by assuring the continuance and perpetual place of the human race. Also, I may have a very small piece of "caring" in my feelings, although this is NOT something I will be sharing.

Ok, so that is enough random philosophy for the day.

Tomorrow I will talk about my decision for college and subsequent reactions here.
