Technology and Me
My favorite piece of technology that is in my daily life is my iPod touch! It just amazes me that touch screens work... like how it KNOWS to touch what you touch! Whoever invented that was rather intelligent! I love how I can have all of my favorite songs, and how organized they are, and however I want to organize them! I can create playlists of my favorite songs, or songs for running, songs that I sang in All State Chorus... it's amazing! Then the apps! I have sudoku, mahjong, paper toss, stars, facebook... all kinds! And I can even categorize those! I'm in love with my iPod touch :)

Mononucleosis
This is seriously driving me insane. I hate missing school, mainly because of all the work that I have to make up when I come back. Today, for example, I missed a test in biology, a quote quiz, and a vocab quiz in English. Fun, right? Of course, I'll take my study hall to make everything up, but still. So why not go to school and just push through it, you ask? Because mononucleosis makes that nearly impossible. Some mornings you wake up fine, the next you'll be so nauteous that you don't wanna move out of bed, then the lovely headaches, and the pain in your upper left stomach (spleen and liver, for those who don't know)... yeah, that's no fun.

The Game
No, not that stupid game where if you think about it, you lose. No, this game is something much more serious, the "game of love", to be cliche. Honestly, I've never believed in the whole gamplaying thing... we're almost adults, why are we still playing games? But isn't EVERYTHING a game? Or is it only a game because we've turned it into a game?
Now that I'm older, and have more experience and have seen the way things work, I actually do believe that this entire life that we live, as far as interacting with other human beings, is a game. There's no way to change it. I don't think that's the way it should be, but what does that matter, in the scheme of things? It doesn't, so there's that.
But now we're left to this game, where no one knows the rules except those who claim that they know the rules, and write books to give advice to us poor misinformed people. Forget that! No one knows, and no one ever will. This is mostly a game of chance, not strategy. Sure, you can strategize to flirt with someone, to feed them your attention for a little while, then pull away, then feed back into them, to keep them guessing, but its only a CHANCE that the other person will buy into it, and stay once you appear to have lost interest.
Why does it have to be a game? Why can't we all just live, and see where life goes? Sure, I guess that could get boring... but so many hearts would be saved that way.

Teachers and Students
An event today actually caused me to think about this. Teachers must learn a lot about us by having us in class, and by hearing others talk about us in other classes. They can learn who we're dating, who our best friend is, what the latest scandal was, where you went over spring break... just think about what these adults really know about you! Kinda scary, isn't it?
But what happens when they get behind, and they missed a memo that seems like a massive deal to the chlidren our age? Well, they can be like one teacher that I adore, and end up putting her foot in her mouth in front of the entire class... I felt so bad for her today! Of course, it really wasn't her fault, its not like teachers can ALWAYS keep up.
But what if teachers got together some kind of personal network where they can share gossip with eachother, where each child has a page where anyone can go in and write what they heard about this person?! Now THAT'S scary! But, who knows!

Oh Gosh
So, update from Spring Break?
Did pretty much nothing, only really saw a few people, but really just the people that mattered. I learned a lot of things about some people I thought I cared about, and then when I found out, I realized I didn't care as much as I thought I did!
Nashville was fun, just humid! Better than being cold though! I absolutely loved Vanderbilt, I juts don't know if I'm smart enough to get in! We'll just have to see!
And I got a prom dress! Yes, its hot pink. But you know what, I don't care! I absolutely love it anyway. :)
And now, I'm learning how to play the game. What game? I'm not sure, that's its only name. But whatever it is, I'm learning it. Yeah, it makes that much sense to me, too.
