This week was my Spring Holiday from school, also known as “Spring Break.” I have to admit that it wasn’t very exciting. Besides from visiting the university I will soon be attending, getting my schedule for September, and working every single day, I haven’t done much. I have been so tired and yet I have homework for my AP Statistics and AP Environmental Science classes. Since I came back from Syracuse last week I’ve been really tired. If its possible to get jet- lag from a bus, I’ve got it.
I’m sure you’re wondering why I titled my blog: The Procrastinate Holiday… Well in my own opinion this Spring Holiday took its time getting here, and I’ve spent every single day procrastinating! Recently (last night to be exact), I worked on my AP Environmental Science homework, sending me to bed at 12.30. It was the least bit difficult (definitions), but it was so time consuming.
For those who know me very well, they’d know that I would have preferred spending my time watching The West Wing or Chuck on- line. if you’re interesting in catching- up on some Chuck, this will help: Chuck.
Hmmm… what else has been going on lately? Well disappointingly enough, I didn’t have the opportunity to spend time with my friends this holiday and it appears as though one of my oldest high school friendships is falling. I’ve done what I can so now its their turn.
What about something Political?! Well I had the wonderful opportunity of reading Meghan McCain’s piece on The Daily Beast. I thought it was excellent. As a teen conservative (or Moderate as my friends call me) I understand where McCain was coming from in her article: “What I Learned From the Democrats.”
- If I’m understanding one of her main focus points in the article correctly and what she was discussing in an interview on CNN recently, her point that the GOP is feeling just as “down” as the Democrats were feeling eight years ago when President Bush was in office. But we certainly cannot allow the Democrats to bring our spirits down.
- Right now is when the GOP needs to put up a united front. Nonetheless, work cooperatively and discuss politics and um I don’t know what else- how about more POLITICS. I think its childish, humiliating, and ridiculous for members of the GOP to waste precious time insulting other GOP members- as a matter of fact, I think that any dedicated, loyal, intelligent GOP member would spend his/ her time utilizing his/ her time generating ideas to improve the American economy and support our Commander- in- Chief regardless of how some may feel towards him.
- The United States of America is growing, both in numbers and in technological advances. There are new ideas out there and I don’t think that the GOP will last much longer if a large majority of its members continue to be so closed- minded. There is a time to be conservative and value traditions, but there is also time to understand more modern opinions and adapt to them- for the advancement of the people- the American people!
- Anyone see any issues and have any suggestions? Write it down and submit it to Congress- or better yet, work with others who share the same opinion and get some publicity!
Americans like Ms. McCain bring new refreshing ideas to the GOP. Not to get rid of the GOP or alter its importance (for lack of a better word at the moment), but to better the GOP and attract more people. A party is only as strong as its members. Nonetheless, if any one’s interested in reading Meghan McCain’s contributions to The Daily Beast which are usually very down to earth and engaging (although I have not read them all), please follow this link.
All politics aside I have one final item I’d like to discuss… What’s said about people when news is released (fresh off the Press) on Comedy Central? -I will let that marinate. According to a recent Tweet from NASA on Twitter, the name of the newest space station module will be released on the Colbert Report! Sure, many people watch the Colbert Report because Colbert has a way of “spicing- up” relevant news, but why are Comedy correspondents presenting such (what I consider) vital information before it hits the Press (real News)?
I have a clue… but I think there are several different reasons. Regardless, let’s get back to my life…. tonight I anticipate on completing my AP Environmental Science homework and watching the Best Years… Following, a weekend full of relaxation, Prom Tuxedo searching, and AP Stats homework. LOL
I am very sorry to those of you out there who are reading my blog today, I know it is probably extremely boring! I promise I will have something much more intriguing and engaging within the next few days. I really like to think about my topics because one voice makes a lot of noise!
#4. I don’t really have much of an interesting link, but here’s a thought: If a tree falls down in the woods and no ones there to hear it does it make a sound? Personally, I say no because sound is a perception, and if a perception is not received by a human (or other organism with an ear) sound cannot be determine
