And Then The Sun Came Out and Dried Up All the Rain and the itsy bitsy spider...
Okay, this is a freewrite, so I’ve turned off my computer monitor and am letting my thoughts sort of wander. What exactly will result, I’m not at all sure.
I’ve been contemplating a lot of things lately while at the same time trying to avoid contemplation. If I spend all my time thinking about how I could improve my life, then I waste all the time I should spend on making improvements. If that makes sense. I hate to apply part of my very boring Microeconomics class to my life, but here goes. I guess it’s apt because I’m actually in AP Micro right now. Okay, it’s like there were these two economic schools of thought…you have Keynes who believes that the economy should be controlled by the government, w/ price controls, and all that…then there’s Hayek who believes that the government should set up this framework for the economy to function w/in and the capitalistic nature of it should restrict itself w/ supply and demand, limited resources, competition and all that. So…applying this to life…I, obviously, agree w/ Hayek who was the capitalist and the society he envisioned is essentially what we have today and I just had this thought that maybe we aren’t supposed to try to overanalyze and dissect and plan our lives out down to the minute, but let some of the natural controls that we have in our lives, kind of find and equilibrium. There are all kinds of things that naturally limit your activities…time being the most obvious one, but also talent and interests and school/hobbies/work/car insurance/BOXING/ etc. Just a thought.
Now on to other things. I’m reading “The Six Wives of Henry VIII” right now for extra credit in AP Euro and I like it a lot. School is going just fine now that all my major project crisis’s of a few days ago have either occurred or been averted depending on the subject.
My mystery guy. Well, he isn’t a mystery really, but I’ve changed my opinion from yesterday and I’m almost certain that I’d rather just continue to enjoy all my guy friends than limit myself to one of them. That sounds terrible, but it’s my senior year and I really don’t want to limit the freedom I have right now by adding another person to my list of ppl to take into consideration when making a decision. I also don’t really have time for a boyfriend right now and flirting w/ my guy friends in class doesn’t have homework like a relationship would. As you can see, I may also not have the most euphemistic view of relationships at the moment. Everyone I know is breaking up over stupid stuff, but mainly stupid guys. (No offense, of course, guys.) Besides, there are really two other guys that I like almost as much as this one and I’d feel bad liking them like that if I had a bf, but I really like hanging out w/ them.
Okay, so yeah, that’s life right now. Not extremely exciting, but not too bad all around. Hope you’re all having as easy a time of it and enjoying the sunshine (both literally and figuratively) while it’s still here. -Katie
