All right so I'm gonna try this blog deal, hopefully it'll be an honest outlet for my thoughts. I don't care who does or doesn't read this, that's up to you. I'm a pretty honest person and for the most part don't filter my words, although not everything will be on here since this is the internet! So here we go...
Well I spent the weekend in Austin. Pretty fun, except I was sick for most of Saturday (headache and stomachache:-( I also spent most of this past week sick, like most of UNT was, so that sucked. It wasn't a great start to the semester to already be missing classes in the second week. My goal is to make all A's this semester, which is attainable as long as my attendance is good, that's usually what takes me from an A to a B.
This upcoming week should be good, I have to write a critique of the Alvin Ailey dance show and do some small assignments but that's about it. I also have to start going to scene shop which will be a huge waste of my time. Ugh 60 hours a semester of manual labor for ONE credit hour?! Who comes up with this shit? Any hopes I might have had of getting a job this semester is definitely shot, with my 18 hours of classes on top of scene shop. At least I have a sweet gig set up for the summer- cashiering at a pool for the Austin Aquatics Dept. $10.50/hr and I hardly have to do anything! Dream job.
So I've been getting into My Fair Brady and reading Adrianne Curry's blog. Now that is an honest who-gives-a-fuck what I say kind of blog, which makes for good reading. I find it hard to put that much of myself out there though, she's brave. I think the concept of having cameras following your relationship around 24/7 is probably extremely destructive for the relationship and also just a crazy concept all together. If cameras followed Chris and me around for a few months they'd definitely catch some big fights that they would then manipulate into us suddenly being a horrible couple or something, but guess what after you've been together for over three years you're going to fight sometimes no matter what! I think the entire point of these shows is to show the drama and unhappiness that is inevitable, but never show the love. Not that I would ever be asked to do a show like that or any show lol, but I would never agree to it, it's a relationship ruiner. I feel like to a large extent our society encourages people to end their relationship and commitments to each other at the first sign of trouble. I also think our society teaches that if your relationship isn't happy 24/7 then it's not a good one. That is such crap. Relationships take work and I think what more couples should do is accept that not every moment will be happy but cherish those that are. Also I think if more couples went to counseling to try to save their union then relationships wouldn't be ending left and right. My parents are still married, as are both sets of my grandparents and I value that. I know not every relationship is meant to last but I think when you love someone you should take every effort to make it work.
