As of last night, I want to learn to dance! Ok, not the kind of Dancing that i'm going to teach a certain someone but the ballroom dancing. It looks fun and so that means I want to learn it.. All I need is a dancing partner and a trip to lemoyne every week and I'll be an expert in no time! ;) So many things I want to do and no time to do them. Someday.

Going to another topic completely, on thursday, we had a motivational speaker. Unike the others, he had something important to say,something differnt. His presentation was on Depression and stereotypes. In his speach he had my full attention, and not just because he was cute. :P First, he went into say that he's not here to be boring and he's not going to act like "hi my name is Ross,and you shouldn't do drugs and alcohol, they're bad for you" type of thing.. He was at my school to talk about all the positive things about Depression and mental issues. He was here to stop stereotyping mental issues. What caught my attention, however, was what he said about people not expressing their feelings unless they were drunk or high. We don't usually tell people our problems and how we feel because it's a sign of weekness, he says. He made a point that however it is you deal with your problems, do it in a positive manner, not harming yourself or others. Oh, did you know that most of the people who have Depression are more likely to hurt themselves before they will another person? All the news talks about is people hurting everyone else and not themselves. Anyway, what caught me was that people don't share how they feel and that the only way to help your depression is to do something about it. Whether it be writing it down or talking to someone you care about you need to get it out, in a positive manner. There isn't much to say about it that I could put into the right words. All i know is that I have found my new love! ;)
