Well I just got my coffee so I might be a little off for a bit. I only have one class this morning and the rest of the day to do homework and chat with people. I haven't spoken since I got to school and it makes me feel a little leery. I think I should just start talking to myself to help make it seem like I am not alone. Argg. Sorry crazy talk takes over sometimes.
Anyways, there are some insane protesters at my school today. It makes me sick and upset that they were invited to come here. Apparently people think that comparing abortion to genocide is an accurate analogy. It is a disturbing scare tactic that doesn't even make sense, mostly because of the very definition of genocide. I really feel bad for the people they swindled money out of to come here. Make your own damn posters don't give an unnecessary amount of money to someone else. I think that Anti-choice group has every right to fund raise and support their cause. All I'm saying is it would be wiser for them to use money to help women not to freak out and upset college students. Rant finished.
Other than that my day is going well. I am about to eat a delicious looking orange pineapple muffin. Sounds gross but is soo good. I don't have much else to say.
Side note: I am not trying to devalue the pro-life movement. I think that everyone has a right to there own convictions. However I know of a lot of pro-life students whom were upset by the images shown. That shows just how unnecessary and wrong it was for them to be up. When both sides of the debate are upset something is not right.
Thats all for now. I need to calm down so I can write a happy blog:)
*Also I will be updating as often as I can this summer and sharing my ideas and my progress on my writing. Thanks for reading wanderlust, a, and libby:)

:) thanks for the mention
seriously, those abortion activists are a little too hardcore sometimes. i respect that they are entitled to their opinions, and that people do feel strongly about each side, but i'm not sure if yelling and holding up signs of unborn fetuses is really all that necessary. all it does is encourage the bible thumpers and make people who support abortion or who have had abortions feel awful. it's kind of like religion... you're entitled to your own opinion but please respect those around you who don't feel as strongly about it.
sorry you had to deal with that. even if you don't even care/think about that stuff, it still gets to people.
hope you had a good day!
