So, today I decided to bookmark my blog website on my new laptop (which finally got hooked up to internet. Yes!), and once again I realized that I haven't posted in a ridiculously long time. That is unacceptable. Although, when in the world would I find time to write a new post when I don't even have enough time for homework?
Anyway, my weekend has begun very nicely and I hope, if you're reading this, yours is going well too. Yesterday evening I went to a Spanish ballroom dancing lesson with Spanish Honor Society. Although I was a little reluctant at first, it turned out be a lot of fun and really easy. I encourage anyone who gets a chance to do something they have never tried before to go for it. Then today was very relaxing because I didn't really do much. I watched Becoming Jane, which turned out to be a very, very good movie, and I spent some time outside (the weather was nice today). The movie reminded me a little of Twilight and Anne Hathaway was amazing. I love how, during those times, life was so much simpler. Granted, women were looked upon as inferior, but at least there weren't as many distractions in the world as there are now. We take advantage of so many things these days and no one even notices because its just expected. Wouldn't it be great to live back then, but without the constant pressure to marry a rich husband and without all those restrictions on women? But, of course, we don't live in a perfect world. I suppose it would just be nice (and I know I've used the word 'nice' a lot) if people were less concerned about trivial, superficial things, like how they look or being obsessed with having a boyfriend. It seems as though things move way too fast now, and no one takes the time to slow down and actually think about what they are doing and their motivation behind doing it. People just jump right into things, not wanting to waste a minute of their life, because you know, living to be about 70 is not long enough. And it just amazes me how people will change themselves just so people will notice or just to "fit in," yet they think nothing of the consequences of conforming to a society that says you must do this or else you can't be a part of the "club." And what means people will sink to just to impress people, without even thinking about who or what they are permanently affecting! Our world is such an ignorant place and seems as though we make it more and more ignorant everyday; no one can stop the cycle. And yes, I realize I am a hypocrite in that sometimes I act exactly how I believe people should not, but perfection is an impossibility.
Well, I hope that that wasn't so confusing.
Happy Three-Day Weekend!
