Thursday Rambles and Rants

Hi everyone!  Today I am supposed to give a presentation to a class on Recreational Management when working with people with disabilities here at UNH and I am nervous. Public Speaking isn’t my thing at all, but I am trying to venture outside of my comfort zone.  I figured talking about myself in front of strangers should be slightly easier because I know the topic well;  It’s me.  Right now, the class is learning about accessibility and that’s where I come in.  My purpose is to give the class an inside perspective of what that means, and hopefully because it’s coming from a peer, it will be easier for them to connect.  We shall see.  On another note, I VOTED FOR THE FIRST TIME on Tuesday.  As you can probably gather, I am super excited.  I got the sticker that says “I Registered to Vote Today”, which is on the back of my phone, and I got the “I Voted!” sticker too.  I actually got two cause I wanted one to put on my dog because it’s adorable.  I’ll put that picture at the end of this post because you all need to witness the cuteness that is little Miss Lily.

I normally don’t talk about things like this on social media or on public platforms, but this really bothers me and I feel the need to put it out there.  This morning I learned that there was another mass shooting in California at a club on college night.  Mass shootings have been occurring quite often lately and it makes me both extremely sad and angry.  I feel angry because I just don’t understand what is wrong with the world.  What are we doing wrong?  Do people not have morals anymore?  I want to help stop this, but I don’t know how.  I just know that I don’t want to wake up to another mass shooting ever again.

Onto a happier note, it’s sunny outside and I can’t wait to finish up my work and sit out on the lawn (or somewhere in the sun that’s not wet).  Anyway,  sorry for the rants and ramblings today.  I promise I will try to post again soon.  Is there anything you guys would like me to write about?  Send me your suggestions in the comments!  Wish me luck for today!

Shine on!
