I feel change coming...

I have yet to give up hope that a positive change is on the horizon.

After probably three or four weeks of not taking my SAMe, I have decided that it is necessary for my sanity and emotional stability. I started taking it again yesterday and feel more positive already. It just makes me more confident and able to deal with my emotions rather than having them constantly spiking up and down. So I'm hoping that this will give me the little push in the right direction that I've been needing.

A sad story about our educational system: Today I was observing in a tenth grade setting when one student used the term reprimand while speaking to a group of students. Immediately she responded with "oh, that was a really big word" to which another student said, "yea, what does that even mean" and she responded with "I don't know, I heard my mom say it once I think it means like punish". As someone who will be teaching soon, my heart is saddened in knowing that this is how we are sending our youth into the world. To me "big words" should be something along the lines of hemidemisemiquaver and the like.
