Thoughts.

Ok....so, let's start with health care in america...it blows. I'm unsure how it is that I would be financially responsible for $100 less than the cost of the ENTIRE surgery...yet I'm fully insured. So basically now you have to be extremely loaded in order to have a simple outpatient procedure done? That doesn't make sense to me - at all. It's all a joke...and it's all fueled by ignorance that if we had universal healthcare somehow our country would go to shit. NEWSFLASH: it already has.

Let's now discuss student loans. I hate to even start this thought because it just stresses me out to no end, but it's important to understand that it is impossible to get a job without going completely broke in loans (unless you're some super lucky trust fund baby or have an awesome job that actually pays for your education). I'm so tired of there being so much regulation on things that really don't need regulation, they need relief. It's ridiculous that I do what I do, love what I do - yet pay what I pay in loans each month. It's completely unfair.

I'm so very glad that Thanksgiving is coming up soon. I'm in major need of relax time with friends and family. THEN IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!!!! My favorite time of the year - I don't care if I go "overboard" with it, or people think me getting the big tree is a waste of money...it's my money, and it makes me happy. I love Christmas. I'm already so stoked that there's christmas stuff out in the stores (especially walgreens...)...Diamond Dog is getting a new sweater for Christmas and she will look super nifty. I'm very excited. We're also trying to coordinate a door decorating contest in our building - Kara's idea after I told her how awesome my door is gonna look.
