Night ramblings

I hate when you can't seem to find the sleep you so desperately need. I am trying to get my body back to normal and I am so tired, but can't find sleep. I have even tried to read the Bible (the laws and who begat who usually puts most people to sleep). Nothing is working. I wish the brain had an on switch. You could turn it off when you needed to. Ok, so that might be a bad idea. I can see people turning it off at the wrong times. It could also be good because some people could actually turn it on in the first place...

Oh, complete side note....

In my psychology class, our teacher had an advocate come talk to us. The class is needed for the LCDC program, but since it was about stress and adjustment, I thought it would be good to take. Well, anyways, he gave us some very good information that I didn't know and wanted to pass along.

Your voice does count, but only if you use it. I am not sure if he was talking on the state level, or the national level, but if you call your congressman's office, it is the equivalent of 50 voters speaking out. If you write a letter, it is the equivalent of 100 voters. If you go and stand in the office, it is the equivalent of 500 voters! That is powerful. Your voice does count, but you have to use it. If you don't like something, you can help to change it. Let them know where you stand and they have to listen. If you got 10 people to just visit a representative's office, that is as if 5000 people are saying your same message. You won't actually talk to the representative, but their aides are there for a reason. They must report this. Imagine how your voice can make a difference if you just speakout.
