Sir, you're truly grossing me out...kind...of...!

I reallllly enjoyed the speaker that came on Tuesday. I enjoyed that he did not "sugar coat" the information and just gave it to us straight. I mean, the whole meth thing really caught my attention. Not because I am an avid meth user--or a meth user at all ha-- or anything, but good Lord some of the stuff he was talking about-- ahhh! EATING SCABS?! Whhyyy!! But learning about these things truly puts into perspective how lucky we all really are. I mean (I hope) no one in the class is a runaway and we are all getting a college education, apparently we've got our families down to a science! (Haaa, get it?) His discussion reminded me of a book I read called Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey (Yeah the guy who lied about A Million Little Piece, nonetheless this book is good READ IT!) and in the book there are sections about a homeless man, and I made a quick connection in my head between the two. And to me, a lot of the discussion took me back to the attachment theory. Well ALL IN ALL, I really enjoyed it. PLUS, he had a sweet Misfits tattoo. Who are The Misfits you may ask? Shame on you is all I will reply.
