Hurray!
So spring break is here, and I love it. The last few weeks I have felt like crap, mostly because I caught some sort of bug and it made me not feel the best. Some sort of cold it seemed like, but it had a horrific cough along with it. Since I was done on Thursday with everything, I finally went to sleep at about 2AM on Friday morning or so... And didn't wake up until 2:30PM on Friday. It was grand, the best ever. I still wasn't feeling the best that day, so I took it easy. Then came Friday night, and I unfortunately was not able to get to sleep until about 4AM Saturday morning. But I slept until 3:30 today (Saturday) and I felt amazing when I woke up, which I loved. I don't remember feeling this great in a long time. Not to mention because of the hellish midterm week, I only got three hours of sleep Sunday night, one hour of sleep Monday night, no sleep Tuesday night, one hour of sleep Wednesday night... and then came the lovely slumber. I figured that was important to understand why I slept so much lately... But it was awesome.
I have yet to finish a paper for one of my classes that is supposed to be done before I "leave for spring break." However, since I won't be leaving for spring break, do I really have to turn it in? Answer: Yes I will, but I will read the book first, and then move on to writing the paper. It shouldn't be too hard, and I anticipate getting it done by Monday - if I work on it tonight. It might be fun, I am actually looking forward to it.
But on to more happeneings around the world...
For some reason I have started to read many random journals that appeared on the "random user" portion of the portal. By the way, if anyone knows of a newer version that I don't know about yet, please let me know... But I am still using the one they launched a few years back. I like it for some reason. But all the random users have some interesting posts, and they seem to either be about relevant topics, or completely random events. I like the mixture of both. Who knows, I may have read yours - and ended up friending you. If you are one of them, don't worry about the past part of my journal... It is more for a few particular readers and I am working on moving them to private.
And now onto something that has been bothering me...
So for some reason the tornado story in Atlanta drew a lot of attention... But I don't understand why. To me, it is just a normal thing. It was a tornado. And not even a big one - only an F2 size. That happens all the time in the midwest around me and there is never this huge coverage. My thought: it is because it happened in Atlanta where CNN is located. Had it happened in another small town, it would just be a two minute story like it typically happens. Some stations will do specials on a few people whose lives are ruined because of the tornado, but not many. And yet they spent hours on the story today and yesterday. I have a feeling that it will continue in the future as well. Granted, it is still a horrible thing that happened to people, but if you are going to do something, be fair about it - either spend more time on all the other storms, or get over it and move on. Bad things happen, and people keep living. Perhaps start covering some of the better stories about good things that happen to people... I miss those kind of news stories.
So now on to be productive and leisurely work on homework... Or avoid it by another random reading of blogs...
