Some interesting pieces of information:

• Every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.

• About 44% of rape victims are under age 18, and 80% are under age 30.

60% of Americans believe they are in the top 10%.

An anarchist once said to a judge, “What is the point of all these laws? Bad people won’t follow them and good people don’t need them.”

Just something to think about.

Six degrees of separation is the hypothesis that anyone on Earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries.

The idea that this is true is extremely interesting to me. Yes it has become more popular this year because if a new tv series that tries to connect 6 random people in NYC to each other. But the idea has been around for a while since 1929 at least.

But why would someone even bother to figure this out? It hasn’t been proven without a doubt yet, but many intelligent people across the world have tried and the magic number they keep coming up with is 6.

I believe the reason people think this is our primal instinct to be connected. The idea that we are all connected to one another by no more then 5 friends or acquaintances is remarkable. It is one of those things you can think about while you fall asleep and feel totally alone in the world. The idea that somehow you are connected to someone in India just waking up.. it is truly remarkable.

This leads me to wonder why humans are so extremely co-dependent. And it makes me laugh when people act and try so hard to make it look like they aren’t. I know people who say they don’t need anyone, and that they don’t have any friends because they don’t like people. And I think it is a bunch of baloney. The fact is that by nature we want to socialize. And when people aren’t social butterflies they are looked at peculiar.

Sometimes I wonder if I an actually anti-social on the inside but I just act social because I feel like that is what society expects of me. If I had my way I would have few friends because for me it was pointless to make them. Why should I make friends when I knew I was going to leave and never talk to them again? It seemed pointless to me because it was far too hard to leave close friends. I remember when I left California I could barely walk home because I was so over come with tears.

I think it is ironic that I think I am extremely shy and could be anti-social yet I am the one responsible for building a “community” on my floor here at school.

It’s funny some random person reading this could be connected to me in 6 people or less.

Dear world,
My name is Christine and I am a procrastinator.
I have no idea what to do to change this…. I believe drugs would only worsen my problem.
I can’t stop thinking about my birthday; I believe this makes me selfish because it is a week away and I should focus on the now. But the fact that I have a present just sitting at Moose’s house drive me crazy,
The End
Love,
Goose

P.S.
Did I mention I am writing this isn’t of getting ready for my meeting and for bio lab… yeah… I need someone to tell me when to do things or they will never get done.

P.S.S.
Anyone know what Moose got me?? Eh?? Eh??

This weekend I remembered how much I love sleep. I have slept more this weekend then I have I all school year. And I feel super!! I don’t find sleep a waste of time, I find it relaxing no one can upset me when I sleep.
I <3 sleep
WOOHOO didn’t have to write anyone up last night, it was perfection.
I’m trying really hard to remember if I have homework and I can’t think of anything except to read this book…. It was written back in the 1800’s…it does not look like a fun read….ew
Time change is super….extra hour of snoozing….but I can’t figure out how to change the time on my micro-fridge. 

So I went to the soccer game last night. Wow it was so much fun. Even though it POURED I was beyond happy at the fact Kiel had one of those huge umbrella’s. The two guys on my floor played to whole game but one was taken out during the double over time sudden death. We won!!! Woo hoo go Tigers!!! Towson 2 & George Mason 1.
It was a long drive and we were in heavy traffic the whole way down so we didn’t get a chance to get real food we drove around that stupid little town looking for anything and we found a 7-Eleven and I bought 2 tequito’s and the largest coffee they had and Kiel bought 2 hot dogs. We bought finished our food in about 2 seconds on the drive back to the college.
I couldn’t get to sleep last night it was really annoying but wow once I did it was crazy. Most of the time when I sleep I get up look at the clock and roll right back over but at least I know how late I am sleeping. This time I slept straight through to 4:30 in the afternoon! I feel like such a loser, but at least I won’t be sleepy while I am at work tonight until 2am.
Well that’s it really I am off to the store to buy an outfit for the Haunted House on Monday night and then maybe a little homework and food before duty.
DON’T FORGET tonight is the night to turn your clocks back, you can get an extra hour of sleep so stay out a little later!
<3

Today already started off in a funky way….I had two alarms set for 7 like always, but I didn’t hear them until about 7:25 and didn’t realize that it was that late until I stopped brushing my teeth and figured out I needed to get ready at warp speed. I still can’t figure out what happened…. I must have hit snooze in my sleep…a lot. But my main alarm requires me to get up!! I dunno I must have been really sleepy.
Then it was off to 8am physics where I was called…Christine, Christina, Chris, Kristy, and Christen in the span of about an hour. My teacher needs to start taking some memory tablets. Gosh!
It is one of those days, that sitting here at 9:30; I really want to sleep through and not actually have to go through. I have to plan my Halloween party program that I am having tonight, then I have lunch, Women’s Studies, U.S. History ( I have to take a quiz I am scared of, and I get my mid-term back….ew), then it is off to hell better known as the staff meeting (mike stop repeating staff and giggling like a little girl), then I have my meeting with my boss because she canceled yesterday then I have to speed to the store and get stuff for my program then I have to actually have my program and then I should probably read, then Grey’s Anatomy is on , and then the best part is my phone call with Michael.
Nothing is too ridiculous to get done it is just so much needs to get done with no time in between.
I’m going to my first soccer game tomorrow with my friend Kiel and two of my residents will be playing, I am really excited to watch them play. Kiel thinks they are really good, lol that makes me proud.

Have I mentioned how very much I love the view from my room, 9 floors up and I can see over the tops of all the tree on campus and they all look so beautiful right now because of the way the sun is shining on them. It looks like an endless stretch of trees from where I am sitting. I love this time of year….when the sweaters and scarves come out and the wind blows leaves all around and little tornado’s appear spontaneously.

I just realized what a chaotic looking wall I have….I have my favorite photoshopped photo’s I created in high school, a postcard from the middle east my dad sent me, letters from other RA’s, a card from a bouquet of flowers from my parents, the “Tiger” Pledge, the Duty schedule’s for Oct and Nov, and photo’s of mike. Lol it all looks so crazy yet put together at the same time…. I love it.
Ok I have put off doing things long enough. I am off to begin a day that will seem endless. Wish me luck!
