Anyways, I'm for some reason extremely happy at this moment. I think it's because I got to read more of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and am almost done with it now. I read it during my psych post-exam review because it wasn't that interesting and so many people showed up. (if you didn't catch that, it was sarcasm). Anyways, upon leaving the review, I was preparing to head back to my dorm to eat dinner, when my friend that came to the review session was like: "Oh my god." (repetitively I might add). And I'm just like: "What?" (all while looking out the glass doors, not realizing until about five seconds from the doors that it was snowing). The snow was just beautiful. And I really mean that. I wish everyone was able to see the beauty in it. The tufts of snow falling is an amazing sight to take in really. Especially if you're not in any hurry. I wish I could just sit and watch the snow fall for hours. I really wish it were possible to show my family, but it doesn't show in pictures I take.
Anyways, good news besides that beautiful thing. I am getting better and not contagious! That makes me extremely happy because I'd be able to juggle at the event this weekend.
I'm pretty sure no one really knows how excited I am right now. Lunch was also delightful because I had a fish sandwich with lettuce and mayo and ketchup and that was good and I'm glad I got it (I was debating it at the time). I also had the French Vanilla Cappucino with half & half which was delicious also. And then for dinner just now, I had a panini, which was good, and black coffee with a bunch of sugar (I believe it was about eight packets of sugar/Splenda - not saying they're the same thing, but it was some mix of the two - and it might have been ten, or eight... don't remember). So maybe I'm just happy because I'm hyper. But not really hyper. This is a good feeling though. Maybe I don't need creamer in my coffee, just a lot of sugar. Sugar is good. I also had a chocolate chip cookie, which I hadn't had in a while with the coffee.
Today, I also realized that deliberation is hard. That's the truth. I feel like it is almost impossible to have a completely successful deliberation. In my rhetoric class, we tried to deliberate in small groups of six people and my group was just a bundle of joy. (Not really.. Not that they weren't joyful at all... but you'll see.. or read on... (unless you decide to stop there, then I guess not)). The topic was about college, and whether higher education and the government should help people have an equal opportunity in getting a degree - without an enormous debt (or something along those lines). That's such a sensitive topic though. I mean, sure (mostly) everyone will agree that tuition should be lower and government should help. But, really, what's there to say about this. It's hard to change the way society thinks and acts, which is the main root of the problem. Don't get me wrong, not talking about it at all is bad, but we're just talking about it. What is going to change? Nothing. Really. Nothing. I'm sure everyone made/makes a viable point/s about the topic, but what is happening to actually change education policies or the whole education system in general? And in this discussion, I wasn't really contributing because: 1) the rest of my group is fairly the 'outgoing,' 'extroverted' type to just speak their minds, whereas I'm just there waddling in my own thoughts, 2) I wasn't particularly found of how the discussion was being "moderated," 3) my thoughts on the subject are probably more absurdly profound in comparison to my peers, and 4) I couldn't really take the discussion seriously without taking it seriously, and no one wants to see that, especially in that environment. Anyways, it's a real touchy subject, and with my little, but lots of hope for humanity (as you can see, I'm fairly conflicted, or something), there's not much to say on it for now. Maybe some other time, for open ears.
ANYWAYS... I get to go to magic club today! And then juggling club tomorrow! I haven't juggled in forever, and I'm really excited. And people! And V-Day (which I'm not particularly excited for because there's nothing to look forward to). And and and stuff! Life! Life! Things!
So, I'm not really sure what to say now, but hopefully I'll have more to say on things at some other point in time sometime soon. Until next time! Adieu!
