I've said za on better journals than this.

School is still a bitch. I have banned myself from the internet for the past week or so, so I can actually get stuff done, and thank the sweet zombie Jesus, it seems to be working. Now, I've only got two weeks left, and then I am freeeeeee. Kind of. In a way. From homework, at least. Not from school, per se, because by then the college application nightmare will be fully upon me. The goal is to get all of them in by January 1, because I do not want to have to worry about essays or whatever once Winter Quarter starts. Also, the sooner I send them out, the sooner I can hear back, and the sooner I can stop freaking the fuck out, because right now I am seriously terrified. The next two to four (or six, or eight, if I decide to go to grad school) years depend on what I am doing right now, and, quite frankly, I am starting to hyperventilate just thinking about it. Gahhhhhh.

In other news, now that the election is over, and I have stopped crying about how fucking retarded half of America is and being sick, I have started actually doing something about my insane rage over it all. In the past week, I have:

• Joined Amnestly International and the ACLU.
  
• Put in a volunteer application to Planned Parenthood of Western Washington. I should hear from them by the end of this week.
  
• Printed out my representatives contact information from this site, and taped them above my desk so I will actually use them.

Our President may be a piece of shit, but he is a piece of shit who works for all of us, and this time, when he fucks up, (as we all know he will, over, and over again) he will be hearing about it. In another four years, he cannot be re-elected, and in the meantime, all we can do is try to minimize the damage he and his fundie nazi jackass* followers do to the country.

* Yes, not all religious people are evil, nor are they nazis, blah, blah, blah. But, at this point, if you want religion to be IN ANY WAY intertwined with the government (by which I mean: you think it's okay to give religious organizations our tax dollars, you think that porn/abortion/homosexuality/pork/"decency" should be regulated due to religious beliefs, you think "The Lord" should have any bearing whatsoever on what our President and/or Representatives do, etc.), you are a jackass who needs to sit down and shut the fuck up, because you are making me want to punch you in your brain-damaged head.

ETA: For some reason, the LJ spell-check is conviced I should change "okay" to either "okra," "Ikey," "KY," or "Ola." WTF, LJ?
