I can't help but realize that even though I'm often the person ending up alone in an uneven class when forming pairs that most of the time people come to me either when asking me to pair up.

It's so stupid and embarrassing for such a small thing that is not important and often just a small assignment for 5 minutes but I can't stand being the one that constantly ends up as the only kid when forming pairs.

There have been moments that people came to me of course

Not sure why I am putting so much thought in this, I just wanted to get it off my chest though

At my old college and internship it was never such a problem because I was pretty good at my job but theatre is just different and I want to become a great actor, I really do but I never really had the opportunity to grow or build up experience until I actually got accepted into the Performing Arts major of my current college but most of my classmates are experienced and talented and I feel a bit apprehensive when pairing up with other classmates.
I don't know how to explain why =/

I should remember these points when we have to give feedback on our own performance.
Of course after they point out the forming pairs thing, otherwise it looks like I'm just in therapy talking about my lack of social skills.

Norway's system is truly amazing. By comparison, the U.S. has largely given up on its prisoners. :( Our prison system is a well known failure, so I'm sure we could learn from Norway's system. It actually makes sense for this island to be the final step before being released, as the article says. If they plan to release prisoners, it's only logical to make sure they can handle the freedoms and responsibilities of island life.

This issues are interessting to reflect over. It can't be easy if let's say someone you loved was brutally murdered, and then knowing that you might risk running into the person that did this, on the streets in a ten years time. It must feel unfair that the murderer get a second chance, something the victim can't.

Although the longest prison sentence you can get here is 21 years, there is another possibility that makes sure really dangerous people aren't set free. You can get another kind of verdict that makes it up to proffessionals to assess after so and so years if it is safe to let the person out in society again. For example I doubt Anders Behring Breivik will be set free anytime soon.

I don't think death penalty is a good thing, because that means the state act on the same level as the criminal. It's ok for the state to murder. Besides the fact that we know sometimes innocent people get convicted is another reason it should not be allowed. This is of course easy for me to say, who hasn't lost any loved ones to vicious crimes.

Omg, I was without wifi for half an hour, and just the thoughts that went through my head as I thought I might go all night without internett. I have nothing to do in my apartment. I don't have much to read, I have a book on birds and a couple of similar books, and I have instructions manuals. Since I don't want to draw or paint the interior of the apartment, I can't really do that either.

All I could do was to THINK 8O


You can hack WEP / WPA / WPA2 :P

After the two first words of that sentence I was lost :mrgreen: Thank you for the tip I guess, but the wifi has been stable for very long actually, so I think it will be fine :) Me learning to hack would probably take a few years, and I don't think I would be comfortable with it either.

On a different note, I haven't shaved in 1,5 week and I have some sort of facial hair now which I'm not sure should shave off partially or continue to grow out entirely as part of my appearance for the character I'm playing for my acting class exam.

Currently looking at online pharmacy reviews and realizing how many of them are scams. Kind of sad to see people trying to exploit the health of other people http://phrmreviews.com/r/medsearchonlin ... ng-source/

The ad on the screen at the doctor's read:

1,000,000 Australians have diabetes.
Half of them don't know it.

What?
If they don't know it, how can they say they have diabetes?

I go do things with friends. I like companionship. Yet there is a wide gulf between me and those people. My friend girl is doing 21 days of prayer and goes to church. I am not religious. These friends also probably voted for Trump though I haven't discussed it with most. I live in a sea of Trump lovers and right wing people. One girl in my group said she'd accidentally joined an atheist Meetup and got out quick, and is astonished there are atheist conventions. I have though about joining the atheist meetup. I am a member of a discussion group that has atheist in it. If my friends knew I considered myself an atheist they might not like me anymore. I feel that I go through the motions of being social, and get some moments where I feel like I fit in. Yet I am indeed alone even in a group. Always an alien on the wrong planet.

My dad is taking me to the eye doctor to get new glasses today. It's been a while. Also, the new school semester starts tomorrow :)

I'm pretty sure I've messed up at work. I can't keep my brain organised enough for this kind of job.

Well, using your own logic Froya, simply put on a heavy sweater.
