An Abomination


I have a Sociology final coming up and one of the questions is pertaining to this disturbing documentary. I watched part one through three of twelve parts. I stopped at the segment where "What a Wonderful World" is playing in the background and dismemberment is being shown. I have seen a couple of Michael Moore's documentaries, but this one tops the cake. He has such a distorted negative view of America that I question his residence here. It takes a complete moron to ask the minuscule questions that he asks. He portrays Americans as this stomach-curdling, violence prone, uneducated group of people. That is simply not true. You can't take a small group of people and say that most of America is the same. Moore makes references to actual events and people, but blows the severity and meanings out of proportion. I do not recommend wasting precious time watching his appalling documentaries. They are obviously meant for entertainment purposes only, and not geared at equality, justice, or truth. I will do my research somewhere else, and explain to my Sociology professor that if he wants his lectures to be centered around an egomaniac with distorted views, then he will have to accept the fact that I will get my answers from other resources.

It has been one eventful week. With Spring registration accomplished, David realized that TVCC no longer has classes that he needs for his degree. We proceeded to talk to an Eastfield counselor. I used to attend Eastfield back in 2005, where I received my German credits. They said that they have the credits he needs, so he should be registering soon to go there. His ultimate goal was University of Texas at Arlington, but I think he is questioning that one. He knows that I will support him either way. I would like to get a job at Terrell State Mental Hospital because they can give me experience and pay for every penny of my education, making it easier to get my Masters in clinical psychology. I plan on taking a year off to work and then go back for my Bachelors and Masters degrees. It gets me so excited just to talk about it.

So, I am officially registered for Spring semester, which should be a breeze. I am taking Government II online, English II, BCIS, and Sociology II. I am getting there. I hope to either test out of some classes or take them online at Eastfield. Eastfield doesn't require you to come to the campus ever for online classes, but at TVCC you are required to take all tests at the college for online classes. Which I think is redundant. If I go the Eastfield route I can knock off a whole semester. I am contemplating changing the Govt II class for statistics. They say it's good to take right after algebra. Either way, we are still trucking and so excited for the future. When I can be a licensed psychologist. :)
