Current Events. 10-2-09*

This week has been kind of a let down for me if i'm being honest. The reason I say this is because i've been sick all week. It's been interesting to learn about our body and all of it's different functions when you're trying to figure out how to control your own.

I guess what I could talk about relating to the chapter would have to be going with John to put his dog to sleep today. He asked me to come along and in my head I thought okay I can do this it's just a dog. But when we got to the vet's it was a completely different story. We were sitting in the room waiting for the doctor to come in and we were petting Lucky for the last time. I then saw John crying and it triggered something in me also. It's like seeing him sad and in pain twisted something in my brain which made me feel the same way. Sadness is just an emotion which when you come down to it is all in your head, so why is it so hard to control?

I think the answer to this is more complicated then it sounds... Emotions are not always things that you can control. They are just natural reactions in your body and can affect you at any time. Although you may be able to act like you never cry, everybody does once in awhile.

Like usual I am glad that my week is over.. It has been a tough one with being sick and having three cross country meets out in the cold.. Hopefully it gets better next week!
