Just some rambling...

Instead of working on a paper due this week I'm going to ramble.

I'm so over school right now and happy that the semester ends in like 2 weeks. I've never been that great of a student. I'm passing all my classes but I have no motivation to go beyond the bare minimum. I just hate having to go to class. I love to learn but I don't like structured learning. This is something that I think is very common in our generation.

My grandpa died. It wasn't unexpected and that's probably what he wanted because he was like, "Where's the one pill? I'm tired of this shit." The funeral is this week adding some more suck in the future. Being really old has to be shitty but then again nobody really fucks with old people that much. I'm sure he cherished those final moments. He listened closely to the sounds of our voices and our conversations.

Back to an education related topic, I now have a new respect for math. Yeah I still hate doing it but I recognize its importance. I've put away my past prejudices. Math wasn't the reason why my 6th grade math teacher was a mega bitch. I would like to see more Algebra at the elementary level. I never thought I'd actually say that.

The instrumental interlude in the song "Closet Chronicles" by Kansas is making me giggle right now.

I'm pretty much just sitting back and riding life right now. It's all on a fucking rail. There are some fun parts and some jerky and scary ones.

One more thing that's been bothering me. The power of television and its influence on how we act socially. We are hyper-social animals and learn from each other. We are exposed to so many people. There are so many personalities and it makes it easy to lose track of yourself. I've noticed people subconciously recreating drama straight out of a shitty TV show that I would never watch. I don't like when people act like they're in a TV show. It freaks me out.

I think I'm done rambling now.
