My Almost Sort of Wreck

On my way home from Murfreesboro last night I was having a nice time jamming out to some Regina Spektor and having myself a nice little drive. (For you Tennesseeans, I was on I-40 , just before the Old Hickory Blvd. exit.) When all of this sudden in front of me I see this huge object. Since the object was dark and it was dark outside, I hardly had any time at all to slow down or move over. At first I though it might have been a big bag of trash. I looked over to my right and left and realized that I had no other choice but to run straight into this object. This object turned out to be a HUGE pile of bed frame accompanied by a metal rusty headboard with big scary spikes on it. When I ran into/over it, it sounded like I had run straight into another vehicle, the bang was so loud. I felt sure that I had messed up my front axel, torn the front of my car to pieces, or at least popped a tire. I called my dad and somewhat whimpered into the phone what had happened. (I was very upset seeing as I have never ever been in any kind of accident and I was afraid my car was royally screwed over) I got off at the Bellevue exit and pulled into Regal (my place of work, right off the interstate). I was excited and stunned at the same time that my car had no damage to the appearance of it. The only damage I have found so far is the guard under my front end is kinda messed up. Unfortunately my phone had died by this point so I went in and borrowed someone's inside. I called metro police and reported what happened and suggested they go get it out of the road. I was extremely lucky that things went well for me and am suprised someone did not get into a wreck because of it. Anyway, I drove home fine and did not notice anything wrong with the car. Dad is gonna check under the car tomorrow to make sure all is well there. Metro called me back and let me know that a couple other vehicles ran into the big pile of metal shit and that the guy who dropped it is willing to pay damages if there are any. Crazy Day...

Two posts in one day...

Im really trying to stop having faith in people. Im just trying really hard to be able to trust people. And I dont know how much longer I can. Its like the whole damn world is full of shitty people,myself included. Im also having a real hard time not being a drag and a complete "debbie downer". But I cant help that I just havent been myself lately. I cant help that Im stuck in this huge rut. Ive come to realize that I should not expect too much from people. My mom for some reason is the one that is constantly telling me that. "Dont expect much from people, and then you will be suprised when they do good things." But I cannot help but expect good things from people, especially the ones I love. Its just not in me to accept mediocre things. My frienships have always been very close and very cherished. That has just been the way my friends and I have exsisted together. I dont really have too many half ass friends. Its like an all in type of thing I guess. I guess I expect too much of the world. I dont know why Im writing this...

School and how I suck at it.

Today I am skipping my sociology class for the third week in a row. Its a 6 to 9 night class that I always dread. Actually, I have three 6 to 9 classes. Isnt that stupid?? Anyway, the professor talks in cirlces and never makes sense. I still dont even fully get the concept of Globalization. Because he gave about 400 different definitions for it! The only good things about this class are; 1.) he does not take attendace and 2.) Everything we do is online. I took my first test a couple weeks ago, not knowing anything about the damn subject and somehow managed to come out with an A. He posts all of his powerpoints and notes on the class website. The man is apparently begging us not to come to class. Basically, I could probably not go to this class all semester and pass with flying colors because we get to cheat on all of our tests. So why go? Some part of me is paranoid that if I dont go, I will miss something vital, but another is wanting to take advantage of the situation. Anyway, point is that I am not in class.

Every other class is going alright. My English prof is driving me crazy though. We turned in a paper almost two weeks ago and he said we would get the grade last week and it has still not been posted. In the meantime I am supposed to be writing a cause or effect essay and I have no idea where to begin. It would make me feel more confident writing this paper if I knew how well I did on the first!
Theatre is wonderful and I love it. The End.
And then there is Art class. Its pretty easy as well. Just really boring and loooooong. I took a test in that class yesterday and am pretty positive i made an A, so thats nice.

Anywho, Im pretty much over school already. Which is sad seeing as I will have to be in school for like a billion years if I want to get my PhD in Psych. Whatevs...

My First Post...

I guess this has been a long time coming. I've always liked the idea of blogging but never have had the time to make one. I usually have a lot to say, so I figure this is the best way to get it all out.
I guess I should start out with a little about myself. My name is Lindsey Brooke (Brooke). I recently graduated from Harpeth High, a high school in a small town in Tennessee. I never was a great student in high school, mainly because I lacked the motivation. In any case, I graduated and now am attending Middle Tennessee State University. I'm studying to be a clinical psychologist. I've always liked listening to people tell me about their problems, no matter how messed up they are. I live on campus with my best friend Rose.
While psychology is what I plan to do in my career, my true passion is theatre and singing. Singing is one of my only god given talents and I wish I had a better use for it other than in the car on long drives. Acting is something I have to work a little harder for , but I love it just the same. If I could chose one thing for my life it would be that I could act and sing and make a decent living. However, I know how rare this is, and am unwilling to sacrifice my standard of living to obtain it. I also love Literature. I love reading. I have since I was a small child. I also enjoy writing, but since becoming a college student it has become my worst enemy. I used to journal a lot but after my privacy has been betrayed a few times I have pretty much given up.

Im not quite sure yet what I have planned for this blog. I could use it as a way to chronicle my life, or it may just end up being my new way to vent. Who knows? Hopefully I will be posting another blog soon. Thanks for reading.
