Choose Wisely

     It seems as though the closer I get to exams the slower times seems to move. I seriously just want to get them over with already. It's not funny anymore. I want the 'new semester excitement' to happen, where I promise myself that I will keep up with everything and not procrastinate. Where my notes are legible and I don't just want to sleep in class.

     Adam, your new semester schedule sounds dreadful. At least there is only one day of extreme torture. It could always be worse. Glad to hear that your trip went well and that you had lots of fun. The pictures are beautiful.

     I had The Fault in our Stars read to me via Skype by a Nerdfighter friend, and I have to say it was amazing. I cried so much, I couldn't believe it. I think like you, Kate, I made it worse when I started to connect it to my own life. I don't know how I would ever be able to handle anything like that. Also, Hazel is a very lucky girl.

     Kira, I always find it strange to hear that certain places don't have things like specific chocolates. Especially ones that are so yummy. But then again, the US also doesn't have Kinder Surprises, so hearing that Michigan doesn't have Coffee Crisps isn't all that shocking.

    Have you guys ever thought of immortality? The idea of living forever doesn't really appeal to me, and if given the choice I don't think I would choose it. I tend to say that I'm in love with my mortality. I like knowing that at some point my life will cease to exist, that my time will run out. I think my hesitance towards immortality comes from my fear of our world's future. Sure, I would like to know what we come up with in 100, 500, 1000 years. I'd like to know if we cure cancer or find a way to truly be 'green' with the planet. But I know that things like hate, violence, and war will never end. I don't want to be stuck in a world that cannot solve its problems. Also, I just don't think I could stand the monotony of day-to-day living over and over and over again. I think I need that danger of dying, inevitability of the end feeling to really keep me going. What about you guys? Would you choose immortality over mortality?

     Anywho, that's all from me. Hope your weeks are great and your weekends are greater. Don't forget to be awesome!
