11:34a - S.W.A.T. dreamin'
Today I begin my research on two things that I've become interested in: 1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacres. I saw a preview for the movie last night and I heard a lot about it in my crim class, but don't know enough. So, I'm researching it to learn more about it before the movie comes out.
Secondly, I'm researching the S.W.A.T. Kristen and I saw the movie last night and it intrigued me. Especially since I read up on the movie, and it accurately portrays the LAPD's unit. I was very very interested, and I'm going to begin researching it. I know it entitles a police academy degree, as well as monumentous amounts of training, but at the same time, I can always set goals for myself. I don't know how I'll get there... you know, with law school in the future, but at the same time I have a long life to live, and I might as well reach high for things. I know the entire idea is a far reach, but at least it will get me in more shape than I've been lately, and make me better myself in so many areas.
And I feel more determined lately than ever. I think it's because I've been sooo independent and free thinking this summer, and it's been great! I don't have people telling me that I can't do things- and that's also good too. My father has accepted the idea that I'm going to go to law school, that I want to go to law school and I'm taking the right routes to get there. My mother has accepted that I'm not going to live at home forever, and she's cool with that.
I'm also excited because my brother is taking a sociology course at OSU this fall with one of my past professors who I loved! Brenda was my criminology professor, and I loved her class- I did well in it, too. Michael will probably think she's crazy, because I did, but he'll love it because she makes the class interesting. In my crim class, we actually took a field trip to a correctional institution which I thought was very interesting....I'm going to talk to Lewis to see if I could possibly add a double.. I really want to, and if it requires me to do more work, what the hell- I might as well. I'm so interested in criminology and in poli sci, that it will give me a good background for lots of things.
Kristen decided that I'm going to manage her campaign when she runs in politics. I told her to call me up when she needs me. :)
Off for the day... mucho things to do!
