Hurry! this is due tomorrow

Yes it is Monday night and i just remembered that i need to have a blog post up by tomorrow, or at least i think i do. Anyway, i actually have something to talk about.

over the weekend we were suggested to read the first chapter in metamorphosis. i say suggested because we all know that if we don't want to, we don't have to, isn't senior year nice. but what i found most intriguing and connecting to our school experience is that of Gregor's reaction to his current primitive bug state. As we discussed in class, most of us would have immediately begun to lose control and scream in whatever squealing noise we could. Gregor, unknown to us of how he was able to do so, kept his cool and was fretting more on how he would get to work on time and what consequences he might face in the office. he managed to wiggle and squirm his way out of bed onto the floor, continually thinking about ways to protect his head. he then had the clarity of mind to use his mandible to manipulate the key until the door was opened. Can any of us students perceiving an instance where we could be so calm?

All of Gregor's clear-minded decisions seem to be in stark contrast to the actions and reactions of high schoolers. i am not saying that we are running around like a chicken that is about to hit the pot; and by no means am i attempting to sound like an exert, but doesn't it seem that there has been and always will be too much nonsense misunderstandings. What causes this nonsense to be so prevalent? i find it to be directly related to teenagers worries with being socially accepted and others perceptions of themselves. Any comment that is made about a teenager must be reacted too, so that the teen doesn't seem weak, different, or outside of the group. if they were to only give themselves a minute to mull over the comment and decide if anything should be done, rather than blurt some nonsense back into the cesspool of jiberish. our school is small and word spreads rapidly about a random and insignificant rumor, but only the response and retalliation spreads faster.

i just see that an easy solution to nonsense and pointless debacles (defintion)between friends is a simple meditation of what the situation really is. Think it over, does it warrent an imediate response? What can be an alternative means of reply? Do i really care about this anyway?

I think i have ramblemed my nonsense on long enough, so take a minute and think about what you need to concern your life with, if it is really worth you time, then you can yell at the person; just make sure you do a good job :)
