Science: It’s just a theory. In our culture, the insanely confusing culture, we are taught science as a fact. I have always believed that science is the real deal. that science is the truth. Actually, it’s not. Forget everything your science teachers have taught you, forget thinking of science as truth. What makes science any different from my, or your, theory on human evolution? Our theories on how the world began? The only thing is that we have this mindset on science being the way things are. It’s a logical explanation of different areas we cannot exactly explain. And the same with history, how do we know for sure? Maybe all those stories of Pocahontas that made me smile when I was little are just something made up. Maybe they wanted us to believe it all so we think we all learned from our past mistakes. At the same time, it is so possible for it all to have happened.I believe everyone has a small part in them that craves and hungers for the truth. But if we knew, what kind of people would we be? I mean, we all are so focused on beliefs. It’s kind of what we live for. Think about it. If you had no religion to believe in, nothing to fight for, then what would we live for? We have all created our own beliefs, even finding people who believe the same. If we knew the truth about EVERYTHING, everything we know and believe in would be drowned and washed away. Me, personally, I don’t believe anything. At the same time, I don’t want to know the truth. Honestly, it scares me. I fear what would happen to the world, to the people. Not me, I distance myself from belief of any kind to prevent conflict and change. I fear the world. Who would we become? Would we… get along like back in first grade? Or become worse enemies than we are of ourselves already? Maybe if it were found out, no one would change. As the truth as it is- unknown- I believe it should stay that way.

I don’t particularly play the sport, I cannot say it is my all-time favourite. At the same time, I don’t know what it is about basketball that I find slightly addicting, making me want to continue playing. I grabbed my basketball, looking down to see the words SPALDING NBA written on the rough face. Bouncing my way out of the garage, I could smell the fresh air. In that particular moment, I felt so lucky, so fortunate. From where I was standing, about a metre and a half away from the net, I placed my hands and fingers in position. As the ball soared through the air, a loud *bang* came from the backboard. I missed, I missed the shot completely! I was so sure, I was sure I was going to make it. Frustrated, I stood there staring. Staring at the ball bouncing its way across the pavement, staring at the lonely, still rim. There I was, complaining in my head, frustrated with myself for missing. Suddenly, the thick scent of burnt plastic and pollution filled me. I was so fortunate though. I had this option, the option of shooting baskets. Maybe I would miss, I know I’m not the best player in the world. That’s for sure. It’s fun, and it reminds me of my childhood as well as how fortunate I am to even have the opportunity to play.
As a child, I would go to this amusement park: Canada’s Paramount Wonderland. I did not go frequently, I did not go often. I went once in a while. But every time I would hop in the car and smile as we drove to Wonderland, the thought of playing one of the games there filled my mind. Peach Baskets! Yeah, it’s lame. It really is. But for a 6 or 7 year old, it was so fun. “Step right up!” was all you could hear coming from the booth. Glancing over, the guy was just sitting there. Always young, every single time. I was a smart kid. I could see in his face, his eyes, attitude, posture that he did not want to be standing there saying “step right up!” every time a family walked by. His way of filling his wallet every summer was by saying “step right up!” and when a family came along, like mine for example, the guy would just hand us a few baseballs. Automatically, I knew what to do. I calculated in my mind where the ball should land. Therefore, how high to toss it, in which direction- more left or more right? Not all chances of throwing would be successful, but I tried. The same is with basketball. Why stand there, looking like a complete idiot because you missed a shot or two? Or three? Or four? Try. Try with everything. “If you do not succeed the first time, try, try again.” That’s kind of how I roll. That’s more like how everything is. Yes, some things come natural to some people. At the same time, it does not for others. You (anyone) cannot give up so fast at something if you fail. Overhearing my sister’s conversation with my other sister, the only sentence I picked up was “Do not give up so fast, especially if you’ve already been working on it. Don’t sit back and watch all your efforts go to waste.”

Talking to a friend during class, I started speaking my mind and she overheard me. “What should I write about? OH! I know.. world peace!”
“Peace?”
“Yeah..”
“Honestly, that’s not really something I would write about.”
“Why not…?”
“Because how can you write 300 words on PEACE? What are you gonna say? ‘Peace is good…’”
“Well, yeah…”
“… well I’m not really that involved so it would be difficult to write 300 words on it alone, and do a good job.”
I don’t know about some people, like this friend as an example, but I can write over 300 words about this. It’s something important to me. Not like my friends and family, a different kind of importance. Something I want to help achieve, like a goal. I strongly believe peace does not walk hand in hand with violence, but the exact opposite. I hear many people say that it does, that the only way to achieve peace is to create violence. I suppose they believe this because if a country gains so much power because of violence, then they can… overpower the rest of the world? This does not make sense. How is that possible!? Wouldn’t the other countries only want to overpower them? Wouldn’t they want to be greater? My answer is yes, they would. ‘Violence is not the solution.’ Therefore, peace and violence do not walk hand in hand. They are opposites and in this case, opposites do not attract. I believe one way to achieve peace is to put down our weapons, stop, and think. What is the point, why are we really doing this? But the world cannot do this, some of us at least. I think it’s the power, the power-hungry people who just need to be better than others. Maybe it’s not, at the same time. Maybe we’re just ignorant to peace, we don’t see the importance and the effect it has on us.
Peace One Day. I feel it is a very important day, a very powerful day. The 21st of September always has this impact on me. I have been told before, “Why would you care about peace? You’re Canadian, you’re… peaceful.” It still, no matter what, has this impact. It makes me feel proud, like if this pride, not of being Canadian though, can over-come me, then I can make a difference. I shouldn’t wait for the day it does, though, I should find the day. Peace One Day forces a reality-check on me, makes me realize that many people have it worse-off than I do. But that should never stop me from trying, that thought and realization should never put a barrier around me.
I watched the video on the website (link above), realizing what the man said was so true. That if there were to be a Valentine’s Day and Earth Day, there should be a day of peace. And now, there is.

With the amount of people using Edublogs and the amount of dots some people have on their cluster maps, I wonder to myself how I can be one of those people. Okay, I know my blog isn’t rated or judged by the amount of dots on my cluster map. On the other hand, have you ever visited someone’s blog and seems their map is just red? For me, it’s like a flashing sign. A sign that, in a way, invites you to come read the blog because it is interesting, popular, and… good? ‘Good’ is too broad. Well-written, interesting, intruiging, inviting, specific but not too detailed (if that makes sense), honest, passionate, encouraging. I want this to be my blog. The blog that people say, ”Have you seen it? I’m so excited for the next post!” That right there is my goal, my finish line. Not my limit, though, beyond the sky is my limit. The blog who my friends and people I don’t know can’t wait to read about is my… my task.
The purpose of my blog is to express myself. Would my blog be more popular if it were pure information? I believe it probably would. At the same time, my goal (as stated above) isn’t just for the dots, not just to invite readers. My goal is made up of many parts of which I will explain: express myself, interest people, become a better writer, and maybe even discover a new liking. My purpose is all of the above, almost all reasons of why I chose to set up the blog how it is set up.
I want my readers, no matter who, to feel how I feel about the topic I write about. Maybe they disagree, agree, or neither. The point is, I do not want to force people to agree, or feel like I made them disagree. I want the readers to feel while reading what I felt while writing, to almost ignore their own thoughts and just listen to my own. I want to see if it makes a different, makes an impact. Now that I think about it, like an experiment. Maybe, only maybe will it turn out the way I want it to. At the same time, maybe it wont and that might turn over a new leaf for me, might change my views. It would be so interesting to have someone respond to my blog, someone from who-knows-where to tell me their beliefs, see if we agree or not. It would give me a whole new perspective on the world and on other peope.
Expression and honesty are, for me, the keys to writing. Saying “Sally walked to the store” is really going to hook a reader on my work, eh? Actually, not really. Let’s begin with expression. I hear it all the time! “Express yourself!” Yeah, but how? Should I use big words, complete my sentences fully? Personally, I believe I need to write things how I say them. I’m not talking about “so like, I went to like, the mall. And I bought like, these uber-cool shoes, and like they have this like pink thingy on them and so like then I like…” You get the point. I don’t actually talk like that though, not at all. What I’m saying is that I don’t feel you need to seperate your real self from the person who writes your blogs. If you did so, why would it be so necessary to have a double-identity? Be yourself. It gets repeated so often, but I believe it is so true. The most interesting topics and blogs are written by the people who are not afraid to show who they are and what they believe in, even if the blogs are still unknown. Do not be afraid to show who you are, get yourself known!
Along with expression and honesty, be alive. Allow the topic to become alive. Be interesting, spice it up! 
For me, I try to let my post become alive. I’m a person with very strong opinions about anything and everything, so I try to forget about the interesting-ness (not a word…) of my post. I try to let my words speak for themselves and if my blog does not turn out to be so ‘alive’, then so be it. I am probably not that great of an example to follow if you want a lively post, some might disagree. But being myself and knowing I wrote whatever it is that I wrote, then I suppose I cannot judge that.
Encouraging readers is important. I believe it links with expression and honesty, but how? Think about it… if you write an extremely interesting post. Not even, though. If you just write what you believe in a different manner, that might encourage a reader, any reader to respond. It is important for me to do so. Right now, I am focusing on one area at a time until I feel I have ‘mastered’ move on to the next.
I have discovered that every area links with eachother. Without expression, will it be alive? You know what I mean! Think about these four questions while you write (from Ms. Rumford’s page):
What is my purpose?
What do I want my readers to feel?
Is my writing expressive and honest?
Does my topic come alive?
Does my writing encourage others to analyze and respond?
April 24, 2008 at 8:52 pm · Filed under Uncategorized and tagged: Drama, overexaggeration
How many kinds of drama can you think of? I can think of multiple kinds, kinds that have different meanings. Acting, ‘girl drama’, celebrity drama, overexaggeration, plays, etc. The thing is, I feel they all relate in some sort of way. I cannot exactly put my finger on it, but I notice that all the kinds of drama have this connection, a connection of acting, if that makes sense. I mean, when you fight with someone the way girls do (girl drama, see below!), you do not generally act. At the same time, you could be. So why do we call it ‘drama’? What’s the definition? I honestly do not feel like looking it up in a dictionary, not because I am lazy (which I am…) but because I have the determination to think and make up my own definition, while writing this. Maybe some thoughts will come to my mind, but only maybe. If drama means acting and playing a role that you do not usually.. or never play, then how is this ‘girl fighting’ drama? Is it something we do not usually do? Uh.. no. It’s so frequent, so consistent, but that’s not the point.Overexaggeration: it’s everywhere! I am almost 100% positive everyone has overexaggerated sometime in their life, whether it was changing a story or just plain.. lying. During plays, during presentations, is it always overexaggerated? I believe so, but not always. To get the point across, to get ANY point across, sometimes it is necessary to overexaggerate. With me, for example, I have stopped overexaggerating. I tell things like they are, nothing more. Why? I believe the question is more.. why not? Looking back, I’ve stopped talking. Not completely, but that way I don’t always find something to say. Leading to attention, does overexaggeration grab attention? Well, yeah! You wont find yourself watching a movie or reading a book about how Sally walks to the grocery store everyday for four months straight. (Pretty lame book, but still.) You need a twist, you need a HOOK to grab your reader’s or viewer’s attention. How about a drama presentation? If it is not somewhat overexaggerated, then it might be lame and boring.To be continued…
April 17, 2008 at 7:45 pm · Filed under Uncategorized and tagged: mood, Music, noise
I can’t ‘put my finger’ on what it is about music, but it can change everything. I was watching American Idol ‘Idol Gives Back’ and videos were shown of people in Africa, people in poverty. I could have cried, honestly. Not only because of what was shown, but because of the music. It can change the mood, it can change how a person feels. As an example, when you’re mad/upset/annoyed, what do you do? For me, I will honestly go into my room, lock my door, open my window, and then turn on my music… really loud. Loud music is good. Within five minutes of listening to, for example, Jack Johnson, I am perfectly fine and ready to face the world again.I don’t know how else to say this, but it can honestly change the mood. You wont find yourself watching the end of Titanic with a techno song. If you think about it, that would change the whole meaning of the end of Titanic. Instead, there is a sad, romantic song playing- to set the mood, to make the viewer feel something.I will go into an action movie with some friends, and when the most intense part comes along I will say, “Where’s the music?” If there is a song playing, and depending on the song, I might say, “Imagine this with a techno song.” Then, we start laughing. Seriously! I know, it kind of does ruin the movie at the time, or when I watch it for a second time. It is funny, though. The exact definition (from my science textbook): Music is created using specific pitches and sound quality and by following a pattern. Below, it reads: The most common kind of sound is noise, which has no set pattern and no definite pitch.My sister had this band last year, on her iTunes library, called The New Noise (or something similar.) She put on a song and both of our jaws dropped. “Isn’t it… sad? That this is how music has become.” I replied, “Are you kidding me?” It sounded like a bunch of noises from aliens, I am not kidding. The funny part to me was that they actually considered it music. So, in science when we were reading, I was silently laughing. Considering the definition, this ‘noise’ was not even remotely music. Then, a few days ago, she randomly said “I’m so glad the music these days has become a lot… better.” Then we reminded ourselves about the band she showed me last year, we laughed. She surprisingly still had it in her iTunes library, so we re-played it.Where was I? Oh! Yeah, so music can change everything. I know it has changed the way I have thought about certain topics. Also, considering all the genres there are, I have discovered a new respect (if that is the right word) for some. For example, rap. I used to dislike rap so strongly, I thought it was not even considered as ‘music’ but more as speaking. Until I found a few alright rap songs, then I kind of unfolded the paper.I am really not sure how I would live without music. Maybe I listen to too much of it, but maybe that is a good thing. I suppose it all depends on personal preferance. But at the same time, so does everything these days.
April 10, 2008 at 6:52 pm · Filed under Uncategorized and tagged: , failure, giving up, impossibility, success, Talent
Everyone’s got one, the world is full of it. People say “I have no talent whatsoever.” And I truly feel this is… impossible? Why? I don’t understand how you could be ‘talent-less.’ Everyone’s got one, and maybe it’s hard to find. For me, it’s hard to find. Everything I do, everything I try I either give up or I’m just honestly no good at. And I don’t know what it is, but although the world is full of talent, there’s another thing we are all good at. Giving up. My grandmother told me something the other day, I know she meant it because Iknow that whatever she says, it comes from the heart. “You’ll be good at what you love. Don’t give up.. or I’ll be disappointed in you.” So now, I’m afraid of giving up. I’m afriad of not completely something fully, not being… successful. Maybe it’s not something I should be afraid of, but it’s more of a fear of failure. I was playing a children’s game over ‘winter’ break, it is called Apples to Apples. You have seven cards in your hand and they are all nouns. The ‘judge’ picks an adjective card and then you need to pick a noun that the adjective describes. Then, the judge decides which card is best-described. We had been playing for hours and hours, I was on the verge of stopping. The kids all wanted to play for a little longer, so I stayed. I picked up the noun card that had ‘failure’ written on it. On the bottom of each noun card, there is a little saying or description. Almost every single card has something funny or amusing written on the bottom, but failure, on the other hand, had a quote. ‘What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down’ has been stuck in my head forever. It is… impossible to forget. Maybe what I am afraid of is not failing, but not being successful.I keep asking myself, how does failure relate to the world? Until just a second ago, I clued in. I feel most of us want peace, we also say we do at least. And the thing is, we don’t really try. And if we do, we ‘fail.’ I don’t see anyone trying, trying, and trying. “One person can’t make a difference.” But one person can. I could be that one person, and I’m determined to be. Right now, my ‘resources’ are cut off, I guess you could say. The opportunity isn’t a flashing sign at my nose. At the same time, does it need to be? Does everything need to have the PERFECT chance? Nothing is perfect, so my answer is no. No need to wait for everything to be laid out in front of you, I feel that it might never happen like that. Maybe that is why no one truly succeeds. We wait and wait, we think and think, but never act. If we do, is the world so ignorant that we take a few moments out of our so-called busy lives to think about it and then move on, not paying attention?
April 10, 2008 at 6:43 pm · Filed under Uncategorized and tagged: 'girl fight', boys, girls, Mean Girls, revenge
Mean Girls was an over-exaggerated movie (and pretty funny), but did somewhat portray how and why girls fight. Even for a girl, it’s all a mystery.. at least for me. What’s the point? I realized the way us girls fight never gets anywhere, never really has an end. I was talking with one of my teachers one morning and she said, “The problem with girls is that we forgive but never forget. So once two or more girls start fighting, they will drag things from the past, saying things like, ‘Three years and two months ago, you blah blah blah!!’” I realized this is so, incredibly true. After reading Diana’s blog, I got super inspired to write about this, she did such a great job. She mentioned that girls are confusing. I never really realized why, until I dug deep into my own thoughts (which believe me, took a while). I never understood why guys keep saying “girls are so confusing!!” But now I do. Girls think thouroughly, we actually think things through. But at the same time, we think TOO much. I guess I can relate, I’ve been in a couple too many ‘girl-fights’, but I can honestly say I’ve grown from them, I’ve learned. As much as we, well, maybe I should speak for myself instead because I suppose all girls are different. As much as I think about it, as much as I ‘prepare’ and plan, the same result always comes out. Someone ends up getting hurt. But you know, whenever anyone fights, someone gets hurt. And everything is in secret. We fight behind eachother’s backs; we are not usually always mean and cruel infront of the person, to their face. For example, my best friend (let’s call her Becky) was getting annoyed by me, so she told one of my enemies my ‘darkest’ secret. (This has never happened, but seems pretty typical, eh?) I have a few options here.a) I can go up to her and confront her, tell her I don’t like what she did. <– In a peaceful way, of course.b) I can go up to her and confront her, start yelling at her. Then, shut her down and don’t let her talk.. walk away. (Very peaceful..)c) Ignore her.d) Ignore the situation.e) Revenge.I cannot really think of any of any more solutions, but I am sure there are some. The most common, in my point of view, is option e) revenge. “Don’t get mad, get even.” It seems so right, it seems fair. If I could have just ignored Becky, or ignored what she had done, that wouldn’t seem like the right thing to do. Yeah, Becky should not have gone and told something I said to her in confidence to someone she knows I do not like, but it is so typical of girls. I asked a friend (a guy) what he thought of revenge. “It’s sweet,” he replied. So of course, to get more information, I asked why. “Just the rules of life. Make me suffer and you die.” Fair enough. The I asked a girl of the same age what she thought of revenge. “Mmm.. I guess it could be acceptable, but it depends on the situation.” Again, why? “It depends on the situation. I mean, it could be something positive if you’re trying to teach someone a lesson. If it’s only to be mean, then I think it is useless and it leads to nowhere, because the other person if just gonna get more revenge and it’s never going to end. And if it does, it’s not gonna end in something good.”From this, I realized not only girls like revenge, but guys aswell. The only difference I see is that boys will become friends shortly after, they will forgive and forget. Girls, on the other hand, will forigve but never forget (like I stated before). Maybe, only maybe will they become friends after, if one makes an effort. But if not, then so be it. When I asked my friend (the girl) what she thought of revenge, her answer striked me as.. very true. I agree. If you’re using revenge of something that happened years ago, and decided to deal with it now because you don’t like that person, then that is pointless. If you are trying to ‘teach someone a lesson’, the I suppose revenge is somewhat acceptable, though I believe it is riduculous and childish. Like she said, it depends on the situation. If there was conflict between countries and then five years later, one of the countries decides to get revenge, that can be very harmful and unreasonable. This leads into the topic of ‘war’. So… what I just realized, about a split-second ago, was that girl-fighting is similar to war. It’s a war between minds, a war between who can get back at eachother better. Doing little things you know really, really just gets the other person going. It’s like a cycle, a wheel. A wheel that turns and turns, but never rolls. What is the point of fighting, anyways? To resolve conflict. Yeah, sure, I’m sure there are other reasons. But in general, it is to resolve conflict. With the way girls fight, the conflict never gets resolved, not much ever changes. Feelings get hurt, opinions change, new friends are made. That’s the way I see it, the cycle of ‘girl fighting.’
April 10, 2008 at 6:42 pm · Filed under Uncategorized and tagged: Freedom, freedom of speech, Rosa Parks, U.S. Constitution
What does ‘freedom’ mean to you? How does this relate to you as a blogger?“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.” -Abraham Lincoln“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include to freedom to make mistakes.” -Mahatma Ghandi“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” -Martin Luther King, Jr. Freedom: it’s a word with multiple meanings. A word that can mean something different to everyone, with different situations. Similar to the words ‘effort’ and ‘peace’, having different meanings depending on the person. These three quotes I found on different websites were very… influential. I didn’t even bother to look at who they were written or stated by, I just found a few quotes I liked and then found the author. The interesting part was the quotes were all from three very important people in history, three very influential people. So… how does this all relate? The quotes were all different, but on the other hand they were all similarly about freedom. Moving on, to the point, freedom to me means the ability to have power over your own actions, to have the ability to control yourself. Maybe not exactly having the power to do whatever you want to; there are boundaries you must stay within the guidelines. For example, in school. Students are technically able to run around, skip class, break the rules, etc. But we, as students, consciously make the decision to not. Right now, writing this blog, I could be surfing the web. And maybe I am writing it because I want to, but on the other hand, I could not obey the class orders if I wanted to. The thing is, I know the consequences that follow. I suppose that’s why we choose to follow rules, because if we do not, there are consequences. This reminds me of Rosa Parks. She wanted the freedom to be able to sit wherever she wanted on the bus. So that one day, she decided to make her point, to rub it in their faces that no, they could not discriminate, they could not tell her where to sit. She couldn’t stand taking no for an answer, she wouldn’t let her freedom and her freedom of speech being taken away. And that one day, when she sat in the “wrong area” of the bus, she broke the rules set on her. I feel that she gained freedom; maybe she even earned it, by the simplest thing that became a huge deal. (I really…. admire Rosa Parks, by the way.) She wouldn’t let her right to do what she wanted, within boundaries of course, be abused against her will because of the colour of her skin. Linked with freedom in general is freedom of speech. I have noticed that in many situations, freedom of speech gets abused. What do I mean by abused? For example, the situations we have been talking about in U.S. History, about how the students’ right to freedom of speech was denied. What does freedom of speech mean? The ability to say, with words and/or actions, what you believe. It’s completely, 100% unfair if your freedom of speech is denied. But on the other hand, it depends on the situation. Similar to freedom in general, there are guidelines.. there are boundaries. If, out of school, someone causes harm to another person or group of people, then I believe their freedom of speech should be denied. But not completely, not to the point where they can’t say anything. This happens often to me, and I honestly cannot stand it.. when people completely deny my freedom of speech. You know, when you’re talking to your parents and you say something that really sets them off. It happens tome quite often, and then they shut me down and don’t let me say a word when a million are running through my mind. It’s not fair, it’s almost ridiculous and is extremelyfrustrating. It’s the same in, say, school. But inside school, my view of the rules is more strict. If a student disrupts a class or the entire school, then yes, their freedom of speech should be denied. There is a line that the school should not cross, though, they should not deny the students freedom of speech to the point where they cannot defend themselves.In the very first amendment of the U.S. Constitution, it states that all people (on American territory) have freedom of expression and have political and religious freedom. This has nothing to do with me whatsoever, although I am in an American school. Not being an American citizen, having never lived there does not give me this ‘security’ everyone says it provides. But I honestly believe you do not need written rules to have security, it should automatically be given, like a package deal.This all affects me as a blogger. How? Well, I know if I say something offensive or disruptive, there are consequences. Maybe even serious consequences, but honestly, I don’t really want to find out the hard way. Checking my work helps, I guess, to clear up any confusion of what can be posted. Better be safe than sorry, eh?

I know, this is really off-topic. It has nothing whatsoever to do with my passion, but I really have nothing else to write about. I’ll save writing about my passion[s] for when school starts up again.
I honestly never realized how pointless and boring Semana Santa can really be when you don’t have a trip to go on. I was so excited to be out of school for a week, but now I think about it, I have absolutely nothing to do. Realizing I have technically have only been out of school for two days now, how will I survive the rest of the week? Watching movies I have already watched a countless number of times, visiting my new second home: Multi! Unfortunately, half the time I’ve been to the mall in the past five days have been obligated, required, forced onto me. I have to be completely, 100% honest with you, and myself, by saying that I miss want to go back to school. The only reason being that school actually gives me something to do during the day! Not to mention I see everyone who completes my life, students and teachers. But everyone keeps saying they ‘hate school’. I have to admit, I have a lot of times. But really, what would we do and who would we be without it? Yes, it helps us in life, and I appreciate that, I suppose. But how can you possibly LIVE without having SOMETHING to do everyday? Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m just used to having something to do all the time, and that’s the problem. But school is not really an option. I’ve noticed it takes over our lives, but really benefits in the end!
So.. I guess the point is, there’s no reason to wish this week could just end. Not only that. There is no point in even thinking about how great it would be if this week could just be over already. It’s only Tuesday; six days more to go. What would you call that? Thinking about not thinking? Which seems to be all I have done lately. So.. maybe I should just go back to watching movies, cleaning my room for the hundredth time in the past four days, and going back to my second home two days from now. If anyone feels the same way, I wouldn’t actually be too surprised.. not to be pessimistic or anything. (:
