It is nearly 3am in Rome. And I can't fall asleep. I took sleeping pills around midnight...they seem to be having no effect. I have an exam tomorrow that I am supposed to get up early and study for!! Really wishing sleep would come.
Not sure if I mentioned this before...but I joined a website for military personnel's significant others. Dad suggested I find some other people who are going through the same situation I am with Michael. So that is what I did. Some of the people on there are amazing and really helpful. Others are inconsiderate, rude, and immature (and most of these women are married with children).
Let me take for example a lady who refers herself to "Queen of the Entire Universe." The name right away screams crazy. This lady informed me that I was just another military men's fling who sees dog tags as a trophy. :o Who the hell does she think she is? I told her she was being rude and she said she didn't care about my opinion. Who does that? It is one thing to have an opinion and disagree with someone...it is another to make those people feel bad/degraded in the process. Which is what many of these women on this site do. They sure as hell don't act their age. Another women (I think it may have even been the same one) said that when women wear their significant others dog tags....it is just to show that they "nailed a military man." Is that not going to far? Yes you can have an opinion, but there is a point where it crosses the line. And that was definitely crossing the line, which I told her. Then I had all these ladies telling me I needed to grow a "thicker skin" because I get offended to easily. Who wouldn't be offended by a statement like that!?
They women saying these things are married!!! And many of them have children! They are acting like middle schoolers. It is absolutely ridiculous. And even one of the moderators on the site was calling this one girl "crazy" because she put her bfs dog tags on her review mirror when she was driving. That started a whole identify theft fight. Which I can understand, but this girl said she only did while she was driving. Another girl (whom I have come to like) said that, if a person can get the SSN off of the dog tags that are hanging in a moving vehicles rearview mirror...they deserve it!! Ahaha. Amen sister!!
Instead of being nice and saying...I really wouldn't suggest putting the dog tags in your rearview mirror. These women are like "are you fucking nuts!" Which again...I see this as crossing the line. Being a psychology major, I know that that form of communication will not result in the girl taking the dog tags off her rearview mirror. Nothing comes out of lecturing her about it. I'm 20 years old and even I know that!
I was also lectured in another forum that I shouldn't tell anyone the my bf is deployed in Afghanistan. Apparently that will make me a target cause I am home alone and someone will break in my house and rape me. How ridiculous! I am a 20 year old college student who lives on campus. I love showing my patriotism and support for the troops. And I will do so publicly. But the ladies tell me I should never let anyone know "the man of the house" is away. (??)
In yet another forum, I discussed the idea of getting a dog. I recieved responses about the fact that I didn't understand what went into caring for a dog. I explained that I raised 48 huskies and still they didn't think I was responsible enough. Apparently raising one dog is totally different than raising 48...and it is apparently harder? I was also told by someone who resided in Alaska...that she knows how "sled dog" kennels operate. I informed her that we raised all 48 huskies on our own...we didn't hire people to care for them for us. That shut her up real fast.
I swear that these woman have no lives. They are probably jobless and thrive off of the fights they can start on the internet. They feel that they are better than everyone else on the site because they have "lived the lifestyle" longer. Just because you have been in the situation longer, doens't make your opinion any better than the next persons. I don't care who you are. And there is absolutely no reason for them to make people feel the way they do. Especially considering the fact that it is supposed to be a support site....people are supposed to feel better after they get done with viewing the page. They are supposed to feel worse about themselves! It is absolutely appalling the way some "adults" act.
Now that I am done ranting about all that. I have a mid-term in psychology tomorrow. I have to do good in it, since my last test in that class wasn't as good as I would like it to be.
I emailed my advisor back home about what classes to take next semester. She informed me that I had yet to fill the GS5 requirement. Back in high school, I had taken two college English courses. I have a signed sheet, which I have shown the registrar several times, approving these courses to transfer as a GS5. I have sent them a copy of this form several times, and yet they won't accept it! So I have to now have my mom photocopy yet another copy and email it to them. Ughhh.
On the bright side of things...I will be going to Germany this weekend. Gives me something to look forward to. :) Oh and I dropped Intro to Italian today as well. I feel so much better about my course load now. I had a mythology exam that I think I did pretty good on. My Stats exam score was okay...not great. But it was about what I expected. I have never been good at math.
I am in the process of finding a new place to live next semester. Since my roommates now hate me. For whatever reason, I do not know. But I am not willing to put up with all that drama for an entire semester. I think I would rather sleep in a cardboard box. Which I might end up having to do. =/ But Laura said she would take me in and care for me. lol. I am hoping that I will be able to get a single room. So I don't have to deal with a new roommate or anything. But frankly...anything would be better than living where I am supposed to be next semester. No joke.
Okay there I went ranting again. :o I suppose I should force myself to sleep. Maybe I can try counting sheep or something. But everytime I try to sleep...I have too much on my mind and it won't shut off. Ughh. Well I guess I will try for the hundreth time. Good Night!!
