Harvard and Bunnies

Hello world!

This is me, reporting after another absence of sorts. I figured it'd be fun to get back in the bloggy mood, and, to be honest, nothing much has happened in the past two weeks.

I think.

Nothing I can remember instantaneously, anyway. There are some pretty hectic, wonderful, exciting things coming up, though!

First of all, an interview for Harvard College. Tomorrow. With a plastic surgeon.

This is Harvard's Dining Hall. It's like Hogwarts! ^^

Excitedly Nervous = Me

This interview may make or break me in terms of acceptance. I don't think I'm strong enough to get in on just my grades alone, so this could be helpful. I just hope I don't screw up big time. I also hope that this doctor is more conversational in person than he was on the phone.

There are a few more exciting events coming up, and I shall (hopefully) keep this updated. We shall see if time permits.

Also, -shameless plug- look at this awesome blog just started up by someone dear to my heart, almost as dear as Bunny!

Until then,

O.O.

-Wipes finger along the edge of blog. Results in dusty finger.-



Oops. I think I neglected my blog just a twee bit. :\


I can't honestly say that I had a good reason to be lazy in my bloggy-life. But now I'm back! :D

So my life is finally starting to slow down a bit. HUZZAH! Now that I have free time on my hands, I'm finding myself spending all of it on Facebook and Les Mis. (Speaking of which, I'm finally on Book Two, Pg. 106, and Jean Valjean has finally appeared!)

A lightening-round recap of my life for the past month: we finished our one-act plays about two weekends ago, and they were awesome, although not too many people came to see them... :( ; I made $30 tutoring! ; I spent all that money, plus more, on prom! (Which was totally kick-butt awesome, too.) ; I helped out backstage with my little brother's middle school play (CATS! o.o A ridiculously high-level show for a middle school, but the director is enamored to it so much that he did it anyway... Not a good decision...) ; and my allergies kicked in.

And that about brings you up to speed on my life! Hopefully, I can swing back into the blogging groove and stay there.

Oh, speaking of grooves:

Getting up early: No
Running: No, but I helped garden! :D
Floss: But of course, good sir!

I'm Baaaaaaack!

:D

Well... I guess that's all I have to say for today.

Tomorrow I'm starting a new resolution of sorts. I'm gonna start running!

...

I'm horribly bad at resolutions, so we'll see how that goes. I'm also gonna start getting up at 6 every day! :D I'll update you all to tell you how that's going in a couple days...

I guess all these new resolutions came from this awesome site called 43 Things. It lets you make a list of up to 43 things that you want to accomplsih in your life, short- or long-term! C'est awesome!

That's all for now. Short for a post after a long break, but I'm tired and I need to get up early tomorrow morning! ;)

Musing on the Subject of Life

Lately, I've been thinking quite a bit, about religion, morality, philosophy, and life in general.

In other words, I've been doing the same old thing! :D I love a good thinker.

Anyways, my recent "reason for life" philosophy isn't anything new, me thinks, but it took me a while to sort of centralize my thoughts around one word: caring.

Now, this is going to sound Barney-esque... but caring makes the world go 'round.

I've been thinking this through, and the only reason we feel emotions is because we care. We feel happy when someone we care about achieves a goal, or when something we care about gets lost, we feel sad.

And it goes beyond emotions. Lately, I see in my peers and myself a general attitude of "whatever". There's no impetus, no zeal for anything! Learning, fine arts, philosophy, and anything that requires effort, it seems, are just thrown to the side, and that just makes me sad. Hardly any of my classmates read, and they see it as a punishment instead of a way to learn and grow!

Maybe this is just me, but entertaining philosophical thoughts and just higher thinking once in a while is a good thing. It keeps your mind open to possibilities and lets you grow as a person. If you care about yourself and others, truly care, wouldn't you want to do everything possible to help them?

Would we still have poverty, war, and fierce, bitter resentment and arguments if everyone just cared for each other and wanted the best for them?

Again, not a revolutionary thought in the least, but as of now, I'm making a resolve to simply care more and not be so "whatever". I don't want to lose the ability to think, or the ability to care and love.

(... Man, that all sounds cheesy! :P)
