One week into my Spring semester, and we have a snow day. A snow day, for maybe half an inch of snow. Nonetheless, I love snow days. I was exhausted, so getting some actual sleep was wonderful. Sitting around not having to work or going to class, got me thinking. Now that I am a sophomore in college, almost a junior, ha..I started wondering if my life is anything like I thought it once would be when I was a sophomore in high school. So I asked myself that question. And my answer was "you are completely opposite." After contemplating why I was so different, I came to the conclusion that no matter what the differences are, I am happy the way I have turned out thus far. Besides, most of the differences have to do with relationships, engagement and marriage, which none of those are major points in my life at the moment. Not my choice, but reality for now. Basically, my ending thought on that is...nothing turns out as it seems, but hopefully better.
On another note, I sat and have watched the inauguration, and it cracks me up that President Obama has just started his presidency, and already the news media has described his inauguration speech as unimpressive, nothing standing out, and ordinary. The Fox guy could not even find a profound statement that he will be remembered for, right after the speech. Definitely no Kennedy speech with a "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." Thats really sad for him. Speech writing is no easy task. And speaking in public is the number one fear in the world. Cut the guy some slack. Seriously. Or maybe hire another speech writer, instead of baby face starbucks writer.
I personally found a profound, strong statement from his speech, which I am sure many others did as well.
"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."
I hope he means that in the way I take it.
This blog has no meaning whatsoever.
Now for a cup of hot tea and a movie.
I love snow days.
I should move where it snows more often.
