Since I'm sure there aren't many of you readers out there, I can just post my current thoughts, even though I'll probably regret them soon enough and I'll wish I didn't say them. But I'm just going to say it, even though I'm sure this isn't a popular consensus, and I always hear otherwise, but I COMPLETELY REGRET GETTING A DEGREE FROM BYU! There you go. Kids, my kid, you heard it here first. Education can be a complete waste of time and effort.
Ok, to be fair, just finishing it to finish it is a big, fat, waste. I'm sure an education is useful if you actually learn stuff and take it seriously, and apply yourself. I definitely won't get a chance to apply what I "learned" because a disabled, pregnant, psychology major is not in very high demand in Provo, Utah. Apparently, I can't even use my college education to help me be the most incredible Gap sales associate. Or even help me be a mediocre sales associate. I can't even be the worst sales associate Gap has ever had.
Can you tell I'm a little bitter at BYU right now? I really don't know one good thing thats come from it. Yeah, I don't want you to tell me why it was a good thing. I don't want to hear about the "therapy" it was for my TBI recovery. I could have gotten the same recovery by going to a trade school or something that could have actually helped me get a job. I don't want to hear about the bad economy. I don't want to hear about how it will be good to have in my future. It better be good for my future because its worthless now. I guess the only way you can say that "Getting an education was a good idea" is if its followed by "I would like to hire you."

I would love it if you would post pic's of you.
Ithink I understand. I have a degree in psychology. Haven't met a person yet who wants me to train their rat, or teach it to pull a string to turn on a light, for pellet of food.
After years of no Gap wanting me, or Friendly's, or McDonald's it turned out that because I had learned to type other kids term papers in college, I got a job typing. Hated it. Bo-rrring! I went back to school at 50 to become an RN. Finally made it through. Just started working, and last January I stoped to help a woman who had flipped her car. I had to crawl across the highway to get to her. As I was looking in the car for victims as van went out of control and hit it. It landed on me, crushing me beneath it. Life flight couldn't take off due to weather. Ambulances had to stop and put on chains to get up the hill to us. I broke a lot of bones, ahd surgery, and a deep head wound. Now they say I have post-concussive syndrome. Not sure what that exactly entails, but I can't remember s@#%!! It would terify me to have had a nurse whose brain is as scrambled as mine seems to be. It comes and goes. One time I was driving and I forgot what the lights meant. Usually I can drive okay. My fractures are healing, most of them. Some will never be right. It's painful. I've been reading your blog a long time. It makes me feel less alone. When you said you thought there weren't many readers out there, I wanted to know there's one to whom your blog is extremely important and meaningful. Please keep blogging. I need you to. Thank you.

Many an unknow people read your blog. I write this comment bcoz I find a mirror image of me in you. I had an RTA while I was pursuing my postgraduation in medicine, which was complicated by an infection of tetanus and subsequent hospitalization for 45 days; of which 14 days in coma, needless to say I lost my postgraduation and shifted my career to tourism. I am also a survior of the 2004 Tsunami. That time workig at Maldives. Be bold dear friend and face the world. All my best!
I wish you happiness
