Disturbed by matters.
"Love thy Sin?" was a remark in a comment in regards to another blog. This was in the remarks for the new group "Prism". I would like to remark that this group is not harming anything. It is not pushing ideas or beliefs upon people forcefully. I am not a religious person so i guess i cannot drag some Bible quotes into my entry but, i believe in freedom to be an individual. Freedom to love youself for who you are. I believe in acceptance, as does God, the one christians and catholics each worship. (I hope i am getting this all right.) But Sin, as it was put, for this group? The symbol this group represents? This is a sin? Well, life itself was a sin now wasnt it? Thank you Adam and Eve, you naughty naughty people. Thus creating humans. Now. I believe in freedom of, anything. Do what makes you happy. I support this group. 100%. Don't like the group? Don't participate.
You know what groups i am a little worried about, PSH maybe i am you know, crazy or dramatic, but Neo nazis,and modern KKK. Now those guys? Seriously? What do we have to say about them? Can we focus on them a bit?

Win Center
So, I am the type of person who when i do work i like to spread my stuff across the table, make a mess, talk to myself, mumble, whatever. So that takes away the Library, and so i thought i will get a room at the Win center, since all of them were vacant. I was told i couldnt use a room because i dont have a group. So here is where im annoyed. IF none of the rooms are being used wheres the harm, and i would gladly give up my room if i knew a group needed it since thats there purpose. BUT considering all the rooms were empty, i couldnt see the reason as to why i couldnt use one. Does anyone agree?

The update on Ashleigh
So today is my 20th birthday, and here i am at Lourdes for 12 hours. Im cold, because the air is on, and the leather jacket i wear cannot uphold the icy blasts. I'm also annoyed. As i sit taking notes on my laptop i hear another student chastise me indirectly, that i shouldnt have my laptop. So we arent allowed to have electronics in class? I believe Sheena wrote a blog quite similar. I pay to go here. I pay for whether or not I pay attention. Either way, typing quietly does not disrupt a class, having my headphones on quiet, barely for me to even hear, does not effect others. It only effects me. I cant work without my headphones, i cant get great notes unless i type. If it comes down to laptops, phones, or MP3 players banned, well good-bye.
Also, group projects. I hate them. These group projects are to teach us to work together? Why? For our jobs? There is a difference at my job i am paid to put aside my bad feelings to get the job done. But here i am again in a group project, and worrying about everyone getting their work done. Why? Because their lack of work kills my grade. Why should we get thrown in these groups, having to deal with the -Can everyone meet at the same time?, -Is everyone getting their information?, -Is everyone prepared?. Its a stressful battle, of people playing, who is more stressed. WE ARE ALL STRESSED. I have shingles right now. Whats shingles? It is a stressed induced reaccurence of the chicken pox virus, ONLY THROUGH STRESS. So im itchy, and i have giant patches of painful rash's on my back and arm.
Im grouchy,cold,itchy,tired. Oh and hey. It's my birthday and i will cry if i want to.

WAKE UP ASHLEIGH!
The average stresses are beginning to get to me, the average misunderstanding parent, the overly dramatic, and attention stealing siblings, and all the miss-haps that occur on a daily basis. My father is visiting Ohio, and I am uncertain how i feel about that. He was posted in England, and now he has returned to his home in Virginia. As far as i can remember he was always on assignments from the NAVY, now that i am able to see him, i don’t care to. Horrible i know, but i do not see my life being like a happy Disney Movie, I can try to get my mother involved, but she will be cynical, i can try to get my father involved but he will be obtuse. School is kicking my butt, and some how already the spring semester class registration already is beginning. HOW!? I don't even feel like school has begun for the fall still.
A new Barnes and Noble opened in Maumee, and it’s buzzing with exciting new shops surrounding it. I haven’t been able to enjoy the scenery of fountains and architecture, with all that comes to mind at that single moment that I am at ease. So I sit and stare at the organized piles of planned work to do. That I should be doing, and feel like as I begin, it grows… The never ending load of obligations, Welcome to College or Welcome to Life?

COME ON!
Hey, guys I go to work, school, and take care of my mom, but i understand many students at Lourdes even have more on their plate. See i recently went to a small activity open to anyone at Lourdes, and i enjoyed myself a lot. I just wish more people could have came and supported. I think everyone needs to try more things, because well, the groups and activites are made for the students. FOR them. I really wish people would participate at least once, that is, if you are interested. I'm stressing as it is to get people who share an interest in writing to join the Literati, and i really would like this semester to be a fun one in that organization. It doesnt require a lot of time, it and most organizations are flexible. SO come on Lourdes students get out there and see what we have to offer!

Old News Orientation
I took classes over the summer, so I was here at Lourdes all the time. As i walked the halls, and worked, I noticed a few holes in the New student knowledge. As i bought books from the bookstore i noticed, that New Students knew nothing of how the system worked. Either they werent informed, or they didn't hear the information, or they didnt go to orientation. Either way its upsetting for them and workers in the bookstore or anyone at that fact. Having to hear "Whats a voucher?" "Bursar?" "Schedule?" Some people are sincere and some well, they are upset when someone isnt able to help them because its not their job function. The bookstore doesn't give vouchers, the Bursar doesnt give schedules, Financial Aid doesnt give Vouchers, and Bursar and Financial aid are two completely separate offices with different functions. Emphasis. I feel bad, for both parties. First week is always hectic, i just hope it gets smoother within time. There are always going to be kinks. This isnt the only semester i have noticed the confusion and lack of information.

NEWS!
BUSY BEES! -Definition of a college student. I feel you guys. Hope things are going great for everyone at Lourdes. Was there even a summer? I am asking those who took summer classes. I not once came within 20 feet of a pool. Also, the heat never came to that unbearable point. Shorts never left my dresser drawer. I am starting to convince myself it never happened. But hey its Fall now! There is a lot going on at Lourdes.
For one: Literati is recruiting! If you like to write, or read whether it's fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, Literati welcomes it all! We want a fun semester so come join!
Theres also an exciting music appearance by the SCREAMING ORPHANS!!! I saw their last show here at Lourdes and it was amazing!!! I am excited for this semester. I hope i can keep up with it all. I want to be able to have a social life [a healthy one]- school life, not just classes and school work, but hey i want to be apart of the organization here.

Air Conditioning is Murder
I think i might be the only one who hates air conditioning...in all warm climate areas.
I have a class in St. Josephs, and a class in Caramel Hall. I sit in the classes completely frozen in my jeans,t-shirt, sweatshirt, and the mistake to wear flip-flops. My toes are frozen. People claim that warm rooms make students sleepy. I find cold rooms making me want to crawl under a table and burrow. In my psych class, i find myself more concerned with getting warm than what im supposed to be learning. I walk outside and its 85, i walk inside and its below 50. I understand it is hot, but the human body's temperature, can fluxuate and cool itself down. Continuous air blare is what causes summer colds, which it might be what i have now. I just dont like being cold. I understand that some class rooms are not as lucky to have a working air conditioner, and i feel for them, because i dont like being hot either. Seriously, after one has cooled off, would it hurt to be able to just turn down, or off the air? If i cant get warm, i find sitting in a 4 hour class unbearable. Maybe its just me?
