I love to learn. I’m a natural listener. I don’t talk very often, until you really get to know me, but even then I’m mostly talking only when I’m asking questions. I always, always want to know, “why?” to just about anything.  I have several websites bookmarked on my computer which keep me updated on the latest in psychology, science, and the world. I play brain games because I have some irrational fear of my brain diminishing somehow. I loved school for more than just the social aspect, and I take everything in life as a learning experience. Learning is what life is all about, anyways.

I’m almost hesitant to write about this, only because I know almost any funny story is one of those “you had to be there” moments, but my freshman year of college I took a Criminal Justice class on policing. One class day we had a guest speaker come and he brought his taser gun with him. He gave a long lecture on the mechanics of the taser and later asked if there were any volunteers to be tased. I thought the man was either joking or insane, but when I looked around the classroom there were 12 guys in a class of about 60 who had their hands raised. They got to choose anywhere between a very quick on/off switch all the way to 5 seconds. After watching a few guys scream their way through an on/off switch, 5 guys backed out, but I cried from laughing so hard at the 7 guys who begged for the policeman to turn the taser off after one second (though some bold/stupid ones aimed for 4 seconds).

Last week was not at all a week to remember in my life, but let’s talk about it anyways. I recently just moved to the small town of Hempstead, Texas from Houston (I know, stupid, right?), so most of my last week was spent job hunting in this new town – how do people find steady work in places like this?! I also spent a considerable amount of time packing and moving the rest of my life from my old home in Houston to my new home, as well as packing a bunch at my grandpa’s old house (who passed away recently). In between all of that, there were literally hours spent arguing with my boyfriend of a year. We broke up, but I found a job! I guess it was a memorable week, after all.
