Trump wants an apology from the president of Mexico? Really?? Explain how you are going to make Mexico pay for the wall. You're going to threaten with trade? So you're going to mess with the American economy?
I'm not comfortable with a wall or with deporting all the immigrants. I know a lot of evil is coming into this country, but it's pretty scary to be surrounded by a wall. That's sometimes called prison. Look at the other countries who built a wall? Not a great precedent, certainly.

Whew!! The last semester of one's undergrad career is very stressful.
It's not the workload or anxiety over grades or anything like that. It's preparing to figure out who you're going to be. Can I get a teaching job? Can I even be a teacher? Will I ever move back to New England and have the homestead I've alway wanted? Will I someday get to go to farmer's markets and give tours of my farm to local home schooling families? Will my husband be able to get into grad school for psych? Will he still want to if he gets a teaching job and is able to make a difference in that way? And the biggest one of all: how do I help him get through his stress? Yesterday in one of my classes… I became painfully aware that a lot of people – a LOT of people – still don't understand depression. I can understand, since those with depression often don't understand it themselves. But it was disheartening to realize so many people don't get how deceiving and complicated the mind can be. (Even outside of mental illness, I might add.) Depression is not as simple as getting hung up on a reality. It's often accompanied by unrealistic expectations, disappointments, and impressions, including that nobody cares – and yet rejecting help out of fear and who knows what else. I'll only speak for myself and for me, it's a complete sense of hopelessness that can be triggered, unforeseen, by something almost insignificant. –And snowballs past the point of reason.
I wish I had spoken up in class yesterday – to reassure everyone that depression, indeed, doesn't make sense. But I couldn't find the words and I was afraid. I don't usually talk about my problems, having been misunderstood and taken advantage of in the past. And I was distressed to find that my fears are not entirely unfounded. |
