I just about peed my pants when I saw this video! Hilarious!
Silly, empty utterances from Jenn who knows nothing about a subject but writes about it anyway.

Caution! Shenanigans Below! Post Update: As Shane pointed out to me… When In Rome sings this song - NOT Depeche Mode… *zoinks* !!
I just found out that one of my all-time favorites songs is by one of my favorite bands! How did I not know who sang this song for so many years?
I Promise You I Will - by none other than Depeche Mode! So crazy! My favorite part is the piano. It’s so beautiful. And the techno beat is so smooth in the background. I’m so excited about this news to me!
Below is a YouTube video with the song in case you don’t know what I’m talking about.

Let me walk you through my thoughts on choosing a major for my bachelor’s degree…
When I first tossed around the idea of returning to college to finish my degree, I decided to go to an online school since I live in the boonies of Montana. I found a great school that offered a “web application degree” - right up my alley.
Then, Roch decided to return to school with me and wouldn’t it be fun to go to a traditional university together? Yes, well, the University of Montana didn’t have the degree I wanted, so I settled with international business since I planned on learning French anyway. But… international business is not an option on it’s own, so I had to ad marketing. Marketing sounded easier than Accounting. Notice how I kept drifting from what I really want to do?
Then I looked into Montana State’s programs and they offered a Graphic Design degree. Cool, I would love to add that to my repituare. But unfortunately, I needed to pay for four years of school - even after the one year I spent at UofM. I didn’t have that kind of cash just lying around. Plus, it was a “fine arts” degree and I don’t know that I could have appreciated the beauty of a mangled piece of rusty steel. I’m not the artsy-type. The worst part is after I would have taken the basic art classes, I would have submitted my portfolio with only a 60% chance of getting accepted into the program. Shenanigans!
Okay, I reconsidered my original idea of the online school. Well, they dropped the Web Application degree in favor of a Software Architecture degree. Interesting. The courses looked crappy to me, so I chose the general IT program because I could pick from any of the tech courses. But guess what? I chose almost all the courses from the Software Architecture program!
That is my new degree of choice - Software Architecture from an online university. I wonder if I’ll want to keep working freelance or get a job with a company when I’m done? Who knows? I do know that I should be able to finish my degree two years from now. That will be so exciting.
This week is gay pride week. With that, people from “the church” come to campus with loud speakers and bibles to teach us what we must not know.
I find this protest frustrating. For one thing, I’m trying to study (believe it or not) and these noisy shenanigans disturb me. I don’t know if I agree with a school being a place for protest. Obviously, I must be in the minority on that point of view.
Second, I don’t understand how people can pick and choose the “religious laws” they defend. Why isn’t there a huge protest against divorce? Isn’t that a sin? What about premarital sex? I’m pretty sure most people on campus are having sex out of wedlock.
Do they protest homosexuality because it’s the only “law” they haven’t broken? These people are doing a disservice to their religion. They turn me away by choosing convenient passages from the bible to fulfill their agenda. How can I have faith in their message?
