Should I have started something like this a while ago? Perhaps. But, everything has its time. The thing is, I'm not sure if it would have been the same if I would have started this earlier. This. What is my definition of this. . . Ramblings I suppose. What happens in my life. Another meaning. Poetic anything and nothing. Space. . . I think I like . . . Ramblings. Makes more sense.
So, this is a spot for my ramblings.
I keep telling people who ask, "Oh yeah, I'm keeping busy. Same old, Same old."
Except, the same old same old is actually kind of boring. It happens, doesn't it? Things that are done in repeat too much become dull or boring. We need new experiences. Stories to tell. People to laugh with.
The same old has become spending too much time online. Not enough reading or writing. Productive online activities are at a minimum at the moment. Although I'm not watching as many television shows as I was earlier this term. My sleeping schedule is slowly (and I mean slowly) correcting itself. It was a bit off for a bit. My fault but that's the past.
They kept telling me before I came to England, "Studying abroad will help you discover parts of yourself." Or something to that effect. Really, it's been showing me things about the States and I've been learning more about my parents. I suppose you could say I'm realizing how much like my parents I am. That's a type of learning. And it isn't a bad thing, to be like your parents. Well, maybe it is, but not in my case.
So, the reason I'm starting this blog (to finally get to the point) is that I have about 2 and a half months left in England. This means that I won't continue the Study Abroad blog since I won't be abroad anymore. A sad thought to be sure. So this blog can be thought of as Part II of my blogging-ness. A continuation of what I've begun in Does England Have Cheerios? . Except, possibly less structured in this half. Not that I created a structure for Part I but it just kind of formed itself into one. I hope this blog gets more exciting. But, the beginning usually begins kind of slow before the plot picks up.
At the moment I'm reading The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston. It's for a class, but it isn't that bad. She is a Chinese-American writer. I find Chinese literature interesting, so it isn't too bad, it's just the context that I am reading it in. It's for class which just sets up the mindset of not wanting to read it. It's strange to not want to read something but like what it is you're reading. I also read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I really enjoyed reading this book by Dave Eggers. I would recommend it to people.
