Wow...I'm stressed already...

So what is it?  Only the second week of school.  And I've already almost hit the point of explosion as far as my stress.  Surprisingly, my grades are not causing the stress.  I think I will make a list of things making me very stressed right now because my brain thinks like Spock.

1. Getting the Harry Potter club together.  I am still trying to find a teacher to be an advisor for the club, but all the teachers I've tried so far either already have a club, or show no interest.

2.  My seminary teacher.  I got assigned to one of the seminary teachers that is new to the school this year.  Everything I outright hate in a person, seems to be in this guy.  So, I absolutely cannot stand his class and, for the first time, am actually highly considering sluffing his class. (And I've been in some pretty bad classes before.) (Also, for future reference, the space bar does not have the same function as the shift button on a keyboard. I just barely had some difficulties with that.)

 3.  The constant battle of depression.  I have to always have some task that is up next in my schedule, or else I end up getting bored with nothing to do and getting really sad.  It's hard to always have something to do day after day.

4.  My internship.  I intern at the Discovery Space Center, but I haven't been in to actually intern instead of attending a meeting in a while, and I'm kind of afraid that they'll kick me.  I've had a lot going on lately, with being sick, and then school starting and now all the following issues above.

5.  Being alone most of the time.  I've figured out that I get depressed in social situations, so I end up spending a lot of time alone to fend it off, which means I don't get to see my friends very often at all.


That felt good to get that all out.  If you're not interested in my issues in life, at that least remember that the space bar and shift keys have very different functions, but can sometimes confuse you when you're trying to put in a parentheses, but you keep getting a 0.

The things people believe these days...

Well, I'm still writing my script.  But I kinda got sidetracked through some ad on Facebook I saw for these pyramids that are supposed to cleanse you of negative energy.  I really get a good laugh out of reading peoples' testimonials about weird items like that.  I kinda ended up looking into them a bit further, and it made me really think about the false Gods that we run into.  Most people just think of it as other churches, but you do see it quite a bit in companies.  This specific company I was just looking at sold these glass pyramids filled with a bunch of different crystals and flecks of metal.  There were descriptions of what these different things were supposed to do for you.  People were supposed to meditate and worship these pyramids and it would give them less negative energy and cause something affect them based on the pyramid such as be wealthier, meet the love of their life, etc.  You get the point.  I looked a bit further into the guy that was the head of the company.  To summarize, he basically claimed that he was chosen by God to create these pyramids and sell them to the general public, and that God would bless them with positive energy and vibrations if they meditated and worshiped the pyramid.  It's not such an obvious false God as another church, but when you really think about it, it is.  I know that I worded it to make it more obvious, but when you're just exploring their website (http://www.nuntech.com/), it's not something you really think about.  I'm one that tends to keep an eye out for companies that are highly successful, but their products are not scientifically proven to work, in other words, pretty much a scam.  Don't even get me started on doTerra.  I really want to do a scientific study that proves their products don't work.  Now I'm getting off topic.  Back to false Gods, it's really sad to read the testimonials section on their website, with all these people that have tricked their brains into thinking that these pyramids actually work.  It's just another good example of Placebo Effect.  Anyways...I should probably get back to writing my script now.

Stranded

Right now, I am currently stranded downstairs at the computer writing a 20-page film script that is due tomorrow.  I really shouldn't procrastinate so much.  I just opened the window though, so it feels nicer breathing fresh air.  While listening to the soundtrack to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  I've already gone through Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Prince of Persia, and Nancy Drew.  Well, I should probably get back to writing about a girl who the world can't see or hear, but she doesn't realize it.
