I started school this last Tuesday, so if you are wondering why my blog posts have fell behind it's because I have been (gulp) doing homework! Why has it taken me this long to do this? I look back on the last 9 years since being in school and cannot think of a single, solitary reason why I didn't get my degree. Well, I guess the reason would be that I figured I would do it before I turned 30 and that I had plenty of time, I needed to have fun and live my life instead. I don't believe in regret and shoulda-woulda-couldas, so I will not look back on my life hoping things turned out differently. It does make me sad that I will be 30 and still be working towards my degree, but I am also glad that I am 30 and not 40 working on my degree. Being a student this time around is a little bit different. I have noticed that I am not so much of a procrastinator anymore. I understand the importance of staying on top of my assignmnets, as my motivator this time is to graduate with honors as opposed to just doing the bare minimum. I hope to get as much as I can out of all my classes instead of just getting through it to get a passing grade. I also can look at school work and put it ahead of other things, such as going out with my friends. I have done enough going out with my friends in my life to put something as important as this aside. It's a much better balance in my life now. I do look forward to having this goal completed. I think people get scared sometimes when something has taken a long time to complete, especially school. As time goes on and on, the goal gets bigger and loftier and people do not know how to even begin. I am ready to have this checked off my list in two years so I can move on to the next goal I have. (Small plug, if anyone would like to go back to school, UOP is the best option for adults with jobs and kids, as they work with your schedule. If you are interested, let me know!)
I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it. So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all. As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me. Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...
