Breakups... I get it.

It's officially been more than a month since I broke up with Shane. Although, with everything that happened after breaking up, it seems so long ago. I have learned a lot. I've learned more about myself, what I want in a husband, and I think, how to relate to people who have gone through similar experiences. When it first happened, in my head I knew that these were probably the lessons I would learn. But I didn't expect one lessons. I now understand break up songs.

Before, I always liked them. They were fun songs, but know I understand why when we drove past one of Deborah's ex's house, we would pup in the CD, and start singing, "I HATE THAT STUPID OLD PICK-UP TRUCK, YOU NEVER LET ME DRIVE!" I thought it was funny before, so I would play along. Now I understand the truth of these songs. People actually have these sorts of emotions. It's almost a shame that Shane doesn't have a pick-up truck. I like that song.

This is the song that when I was listening to I made the realization.



I would just like to say that I don't actually pray for him to get hit by a flower pot. But sometimes, well, I can relate to this song.

Snails are Stressful

The weeks have been stressful. I mean really stressful. Do you want tot know the most stressful part? Snails. Snails that don't breath!

A couple weeks of go, my science teacher gave everyone on the class a jar full of water plants and snails. Or mission was to determine which one of the two did photosynthesis, and which one breathed. I'll be honest, I thought I knew where the experiment was going to go.

I had a dye that would turn the water blue there was photosynthesis, yellow if there was breathing, and green if there was equal parts of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration.

Can I just say, my snails were defective. In the three days that I tested and tested those snails. the water never once turned yellow. Always BLUE! Sure the plants did what they were supposed to. They were photosynthesising even in the dark, but those snail....Nothing.

I'll be honest. In the weeks of stress and uncertainty that I've gone through, those snails have really put it over the top. The snails really stressed me out. I've got mutated snails that whatever I did, wouldn't ever breathe! Sometimes life is really hard. The only thing that consoled me was the fact that i got the same messed up results and everyone else in the class.

P.S. While the snails not breathing really confused my teacher, so did the plants, photosynthesising. Apparently when we left the plants were supposed to turn the water green. Indicating that the plants were breathing. Go figure.
