Nothing to say...

So its wednesday night and I am currently working on some homework for my speech class. I dont really have anything interesting to say tonight so Im just going to write about my annoying researching im doing right now. For my speech I have to state my opinion on why Obamacare should be repealed... LAME!! First off I dont even know anything about the subject. Second I dont really want to know anything about the subject. And lastly this outline for my speech is due tomorrow morning and I am just now working on it. :/ So as you can tell I am really annoyed at this!

Tomorrow should be a good day (after speech class), Fullerton baseball will be in long beach playing LBC, should be a good game! Then I will return to FJC for my unnecessary media aesthetics class, booo! Then I think I will treat myself to some chickfila.... Oh wait, scratch that, Im broke! Well ill just head home and enjoy my thursday night TV with my friends and family :) Greys, Private Practice, and Off the Map!

Alright, thats all for now! See you next wednesday.

Post Valentines Day

Hello all!

So Valentines day was this past monday, and I hope everyone had a great one. Even if you are a single bitter women that hates the day all together, hopefully you got some chocolate out of it :) Anyways tonight in my blog I want to analyze the facebook status that I posted on Valentines day. This was a quote that I googled ad found it appropriate for the day so decided to post it:

"Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

First off, this sentence states that love is a condition. I have always felt like love is a feeling or a state of being I guess you could say. A condition, to me, is more like when a doctor tells you that you have a condition known as arthritis or when they tell you that you are not in the condition to exercise. More of a physical meaning I guess. Secondly about this sentence is that it states that love is when the happiness of someone else is more important to you then your own. Is this what truly makes us happy? Seeing that our loved ones are happy. I would say this could be true. When you have seen a loved one that is sad or depressed you often have no control over feeling sad with them. When a loved one is happy, even if you are sad about something, you often cant help yourself from feeling happy for them and that in return makes you happy. Maybe the happiness in others is what truly triggers the happiness in ourself. If you think about it, is there really a time when you were feeling down and a loved one came to you with very exciting news about themselves and you were not able to become happy for them and with them? I highly doubt it. So to conclude this analysis, I believe that this statement speaks the truth 100%. When the happiness of another person is the true factor for the happiness of yourself then you have truly discovered love in its most rewarding way.

Speech class

        So I am taking a speech class this semester and it is going pretty good. I had to give my first informal speech on tuesday and I thought I did a good job. The class was laughing at my story, I was telling jokes, acting out characters voices, and I was trying to be as natural as possible; as if I were telling the story to my sister. Well, my teacher told me this after I was done, "You are very guarded and need to let us feel your emotions more. You are talking to us like we are on a first date when really you should be talking to us at a third date level." I was like WHAT! I was totally being open to how I felt about my story. How open am I supposed to be? Im not going to stand there and cry in front of 30 people that I just met and don't even know their names.
      So after the class I started analyzing my life. Trying to figure out if I really was a guarded person and if it was somehow being portrayed through my speech. Well I decided im not. I open up to people that I feel I have a close connection to. Yes it is true that I only open up to certain people and those certain are not a lot, but are you really supposed to open yourself up to everyone you meet? If you walk around being an open book then there is nothing interesting about you that people dont already know. Why would someone want to get to know you if you are already letting them see everything before they even get the chance to know you. Basically the question is this; Are you supposed to let your guard down for anyone you meet, or are you supposed to only let people that mean a lot to you or people that you feel connected to have the chance to get to know you on a more personal level with no guard up?

Just a thought,

my thoughts on blogging

As I sit here ready to write another blog entry and am trying to come up with something to write about I ask myself this, "what do people usually write in blogs and why wouldn't the just talk to people instead of writing it down for the whole world to see?" So now Im trying to figure out why it is that people feel so comfortable sharing their deepest emotions with strangers through the computer but cant express those emotions in person, to their closest friends... I don't know its just a thought. I also am realizing that this whole blog thing is like a whole other world! I mean if you just search through some of these blogs there are SO many different kinds of them. Kinda cool!

Anyways back to why it is that people feel better sharing their feelings online instead face to face. Maybe it is because they don't have any personal connection to anyone reading it. Maybe it is because they just honestly don't have anyone to talk to. Or maybe they feel more comfortable because they are better at writing down their emotions instead of expressing them through words. I guess its understandable, but is this really a good thing for our society? Im not sure. I definitely dont think it is a bad thing by any means, but I cant really determine if it is beneficial or not. I guess only time will tell.

Alright well Iv got to get to bed, another long day tomorrow. But I start traveling with the Fullerton Baseball team on thursday as their Athletic Trainer so that is something to look forward to :)

P.S. Im so over this freezing cold weather!!!

Until next time,
Kayla
