  • I have "I'm Going Through Changes" by Eminem Stuck in My Head

    I feel so antisocial lately. I kind of wish everyone would just leave me the hell alone. That sounds awful, and I know socializing is good for me, but ugh. I just want to be in my nice quiet home (or at my grandmother's home where it's really quiet), just thinking and not talking or making any noise at all. It would be so great if the whole world could just shut.the.fuck.up for a couple of days.

    Still no period. Maybe I won't even get one this month. Weird.

    Still kinda annoyed by Jennifer.

    Still worried about my sister.

    I'm going to my grandmother's house this weekend and staying there alone (she is out of town). A whole house in the country to myself, no people, no house pets, nothing. I plan on going nowhere, doing nothing except homework, and enjoying solitude. And hey, if my sister needs company, I'll be close by.

    Can it just be tomorrow afternoon now?

    P.S. This afternoon I'm going to a place called Denver Indian Health & Family Services to interview the director for a school project. My questions to her will be:

    1. What are some goals/ issues that are important to DIHFS, and how does DIHFS address these issues?
    2. How does DIHFS or one of its smaller programs serve American Indian women specifically (as opposed to the larger American Indian population in general)?
    3. Who is allowed to use DIHFS's services, and how is eligibility determined?
    4. What are some of DIHFS's key successes/ accomplishments?
    5. What are some of DIHFS's challenges/ barriers/ hurdles?
    6. What sources of funding does DIHFS use to keep itself operating (e.g.,grants, donations, charging for services, etc.)?
    7. Are there any resources for how students or other interested parties can get involved with DIHFS (websites, volunteer coordinator contact information, etc.)?

    It should be an interesting experience, and getting to see the place and talk to the director will be valuable when writing my paper and preparing my PowerPoint presentation.

    P.P.S. I have to write a comparative analysis on the book and movie for either The Color Purple or Push/Precious. I can't decide which one I will do.
