Argh

I forgot to make a post on Monday...Honestly, I've been trying to think about what to write for my English papers due next week on Sunday and Wednesday, and I haven't started either of them. I mean, I've started outlines/notes for the things, but I don't have theses. Right now, I'm watching YouTube videos in the computer lab at school when I should've been at the gym and writing my papers. Then I have my last French class to go to, which I don't want to do, because it's dumb and I barely do anything. And I have to go. No choice. Wah.
Anywhos, Imma go. Because I have nothing to write about.
Love.

Personal Moments

I made my weekly post, but I wanted to write some more. Something was bothering me a little too...

I don't know if this has happened to you or not (it probably has but I'm just saying since not a lot of people talk about it), but do certain things in nature happen to you, and it's beautiful, and you realize it must've been meant for you? They have to me. Like last semester, I was waiting for the bus, and across from the bus stop is a field. It was fairly early in the morning, around 7:30, and a little bit foggy. I was minding my own business, trying to look like I had something to do while I waited for the bus, when I looked at the field and saw a deer walk out from the side-trees. It was amazing; I looked around to see if there was anyone else walking around me or there were cars slowing down to look at the deer, but no one was. I looked back at the field, and that's when I saw another deer walk onto the field from the trees! It was magical. I really wanted to tell someone, but texting didn't give it justice and no one was around me. So that memory is all mine. Another example would be today. I was on the bus, going to school, when the driver slowed down all of a sudden. I looked out the other window and I saw a coyote leaping over the highway median to get to the other side. It was nice to see other cars slowing down for it to cross too. Then coming back from school, I saw a hawk or an eagle perched on one of the lamp posts. I seriously don't think people observe as well as I do, or else I would have heard someone say something!
I'd also like to say that nature and technology are intermingling here. In one of my English classes, we've been on the topic of nature, how it affects art and how we live. In these instances I've described from my own life, it's inevitable. We share this world with other creatures too, there aren't just humans on this planet. And even though we cover the grass and dirt with cement and tear down trees to make room for metal buildings, nature and animals still make an appearance in our daily lives. Maybe not as often as you'd think, but it does happen. And when it does happen, cherish the moment. Because they're beautiful beings, surviving through the weirdest conditions, not knowing whether or not their home and their children will be able to live through the next day. I become sad, thinking about the possibilities, but that's life I suppose.

Love.

Nostalgia

I might make a few other posts like this, but I've been going through some nostalgic memories these past few weeks. For example, a couple weeks ago, I went to the library I used to go to as a kid with my mom and my sister, remembering all the fun times we had there. That's basically how I developed my love for reading, because my mom used to take my sister and I to the library every week during our elementary school years. And then yesterday, I rediscovered a TV show I used to watch on PBS on YouTube. It's called Cyberchase; I hope someone else out there knows it. I've been watching the episodes, and I've paused one right now so I could write this post. I had no idea there were so many seasons of it, there's eight!! I'm so excited to watch them all, because I know I haven't seen them all. But I will.

Post a comment letting me know some things you remember from your childhood that you've experience/you would like to experience again.

Love.

PS. For those of you who have been reading my dream blog, I have a few dreams noted down but I haven't had the chance to type them up yet. I will soon. Tomorrow or the next day. Thanks!

Nonsense


It's funny. Or not funny if you're an avid writer...Or it is funny if you are an avid writer who has a sense of humour. But anyway, this is what I wanted to say:
I tend to come up with good subject topics for a post during the week, to write on the day I'm supposed to write. Then I forget it, without writing the subject down somewhere. On those days, when I realize I didn't write anything about the post I thought about in my head and need to write about something, I kick myself in the head. Figuratively, since I'm not crazy flexible like that.

And today is one of those days. Go figure.

Also, I might have a number of blog post subjects already stored in the notes section of my phone, but I don't feel like writing about any of those subjects. Go figure again.

Sometimes this blog writing is difficult. Woot.

Love.
