I jus failed my hebrew test. It's frustrating when you put 10-15 hours into studying and still fail. I really hope i pass the class. If i don't it'll mean prolonging graduation.
Today i gave my one hour presentation based on my 16 pg depression paper. (I was up till 5am finishing the 20+ slides and handouts.) I was kinda nervous because the guy before me did really well. He set the bar high. I had a bad start and stuttered a little too much with what I was trying to say. It was also pretty tough trying to explain the neurochemical imbalances in the brain. But everything else went fairly well afterwards. But our teacher wanted us to focus on discussion questions and activities, so an hour went by pretty quickly.
After I went to Reunite, which is a counseling ministry geared for couples who may be struggling or arguing a lot. They talked about conflict resolution and gave us over an hour of group discussion. It was really great to hear some of the couple's struggles. There's a husband and wife that disagree with how to discipline their kids. The dad is very strict, and the mom defends the kids. Another couple has a husband that needs some freedom to hang with his friends without his wife worrying. But she feels undervalued and fearful that his friend is a bad influence.
They shared what they contributed to the conflict and what their needs were. For instance, someone shared that they contribute by getting angry and another shared how they bottle up their feelings. Some of their needs we're wanting to be heard or to be trusted. Then they talked about their home of origin, and the roots of why they have those needs. A few people shared how some of their parents were emotionally closer, or how their parents neglected them. This made them not want to let people get to close to them because they've been hurt when they've been vulnerable. Overall, it was just cool to see how our intuitive emotional impulses in conflict can be traced to our family relationships.
I was lying in bed at 1030, and i was telling myself not to sleep cuz i always wake up at midnight being wide awake.. but sure enough i dozed off and now i'll be up forever.. I wish i could record my dreams. forgetting awesome dreams is the worst..
well.. actually being really hungry with nothing in the fridge is worst.
Actually walking into spiderwebs is the worst
ACTUALLY.. smelling something burning in your room and noticing that your lamp almost started a fire because it's super friggen hot and was touching a towel is the worst
no wait.. spiderwebs are still the worst
