My first blog

I have never been one to be a so called "blogger" before. I didn't even venture off into the fabulous world of Facebook until I came to college. I was one of those stubborn activists against social networking sites. But you know how it goes, you are going to fall into the trap sometime. I sure did. I don't think I can go an hour without checking my Facebook, thinking maybe somebody sent me something. Usually all I get is ten notifications advertising me to join some bumper sticker group. I think today I actually got a notification for some word game. I hit ignore every time, but those aggravating spammers seem to get me every time. Even in e-mails, I get more than wanted amounts of spam. Anything from free fabulous watches to viruses that usually cause my computer to suddenly go into a spastic episode and eventually die. Actually that happened last night. I was enjoying a late night watching The Soloist, pretty good movie so far, and suddenly my computer went in an uproar screeching sounds through my headphones. By the time I turned it off and restarted the slow thing my eyes fell asleep. It was late, 1:30, but I'm usually a night owl anyways. I could not hold up this time, the movie was just going to have to wait. So now I am just sitting here trying to sporadically accomplish every extreme amount of homework I have so I can just finish my movie. I start to read a book and all I think is wow wouldn't it be nice to just sit in my bed and finish my movie. But no, that is not how life works, especially in the fabulous world of a college student. I don't understand the mounds of homework I get sometimes. One teacher assigns 100 pages and oh it's no big deal, don't worry, we know you have NOTHING else to do. Oh ya? I start to read those 100 pages and by the 2nd page I'm already over it. Half of the material seems like a foreign language to me. It just gets to be so boring sometimes that I can't even handle it. It has gotten to the point where I think every day so far that I have had to read for a class I have fallen asleep. I mean, yeah I am sitting in my bed reading, but wow this must be some boring stuff. Read, read, read, that is all some professors want you to do. How about making class a little more interesting? How about not just standing there reading straight of the lecture notes expecting you to fill in the blanks then tell you to go read 100 pages later on. I think I could find the entire course on Wikipedia in less than an hour. Oh yeah, something else about that. Teachers say Wikipedia is a horrible website to use. You know what? I think it has become my favorite website. It obviously has every kind of weird question or fact you could possibly know about. I think I'm just starting to ramble now about every random thing. But, ya know, that is what I do sometimes. Ramble and complain... What's new?
