Lesson for the day: survey the area around the seat where you are planning on sitting before you sit there.
I sat down in Human Geography, a class of common sense taught by a boring, boring professor, and everything seemed normal and quiet enough like a normal day. Then, all of a sudden, the freaking kid behind me opens up his Barbecue Corn Nuts and Mountain Dew. His impromptu lunch was loud and obnoxious and somewhat inconsiderate of the students sitting around him who were trying to take notes. He would eat a few corn nuts and since they are hard they were noisy when he ate them. Every time he opened the bottle of pop it would make the little pop noise and fizz. Some people's kids.
Next time I encounter a fellow student who has no consideration for the fellow students around them I am going to grow a pair and tell them to save there snack for after class. I don't mind people eating in class as long as they don't make a lot of noise.
Loud eating is a pet peeve of mine. If you make some weird or loud noises when you eat, I freak out. For some reason it makes me uncomfortable.

Spring Fever.
Lesson from the past few days: it is hard to get work done when the weather is beautiful.
I would love to say that I have been a good student and spend a good amount of time on studying but I would be lying. I have been playing outside and enjoying the wonderful weather. The plus to this is that I do feel like I am in a better mood lately. The sun and fresh air really perks you up.
I guess it's time to start working on my summer body though. Ha ha. I've had at least an hour of physical activity for the past few days so it shouldn't be a problem.
Yay for good weather!

Every life has meaning.
Lesson for the day: everyone matters. In some way or another, everyone matters.
I saw Remember Me with a friend and I really liked it. I will be honest and tell you that it isn't the best movie ever made but if you're into that sort of thing it was pretty darn good. Just get over the fact that Robert Pattinson played some vampire in some movie based on teenie-bopper books.
Gandhi is quoted in the movie. "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." I've been dwelling on this quote now for the past few hours and I can't really come to one solid conclusion. I know that you should do whatever makes you feel good because it is important to do it but, if it is insignificant - why should I do it?
That is what perplexes me. If it is insignificant, why do it? Should we do it because we want to and it makes us feel good or do we do it for everyone else because it is insignificant?
I can go to college because it is important to me but still may be insignificant to the rest of the world. Unless, of course, I become a great influence on the way the world works. Maybe I'll invent something that cures something and it will all be because I went to college.
Although, even if I invent something that is important to me or someone else it may be insignificant to someone else. So, whatever you do may be insignificant but doing it is still important.
I'm not sure I hit the nail on the head but I like my interpretation.
