Momma said there'd be day's like this...

She didn't, I'm lying. But, coming up with catchy and sometimes witty titles for my blogs is sometimes challenging, so...fuck it. 

So, what's on my mind? Well, frankly, what isn't on my mind? It seems to be running a mile a minute with all the details of what I still need to accomplish in these next 5 weeks: the multitude of exams, assessments, appointments, registrations, decisions...the list goes on and on. It seems the idea of putting things off because the end of the sememster is so far off, is no longer a viable option. Now is the time for action! I'm also attempting to regain some semblance of a social life (or at least some life outside of school and the studying that school provokes), so in those precious few weeks, I have saving, planning, a dive, maybe even a date (please know that just because I've written that does not mean I'll be answering any questions regarding it) to fold into my already jam-packed schedule. But, still...

I can't help but approach things with a sense of detached wonder. Often it seems as if I am not actually living my life, but merely watching it like some poor bastard on candid-camera. Not that this is altogether surprising. I find life is much more digestible when you don't have to think any of it is real. But it seems I'm not the only one. I've talked to many people, seen many-a-documentary, studied some theories--and come to the conclusion that maybe there is something that humans are doing to themselves that is making life more difficult than it needs to be. I mean, if birth control can change who we're attracted to, if there are chemicals in every thing we consume...maybe there is something--something that changes who we are, how we react, how we bond.

Maybe something as simple as our interaction with technology...as these words on the computer screen...is affecting life as we know it. I'd like to simply blame the media...but, maybe...it's just a little of everything.
