Technology

Have you ever thought how lazy people actually are? (in general of course)This is something I've always been pondering about. Why do we have technology? Why do we have phones to call people instead of going to see them and talk to them. Well first of all it's practical, rather than marching half-way across the globe to Australia taking what, 5 years? I can take a flight and be there in about 20 hours. What I find ironic is that people would say "20 hours on a flight is way too long-why do I have to spend almost an entire day on a flight?" Well if you rather take a boat that would get you there in 6 months, go ahead. But then again, nowadays people have made such enormous progress in the discovery within technology that time is the most precious thing. Time and money.
And making the most money in the smallest amount of time.

New Year New Year

Finally, year 2008 has come to an end.
Evaluation: In the year that has finally come to its end I've definitely endured a lot of pain and drama- I could probably enlist this year as one of the worst ones yet. In early 2008 I was addicted to an online game- which led to an all-time loooow in my grades and by the time I managed to untangle myself from the game, it was too late to fix my failing grades. I doubted myself too many times this year- I shed way too many tears than necessary, I think I've shed every single (negative) kind of tear there is to shed. Towards the summer I indulged myself in golf- golf and golf. Things were starting to look brighter but then- he came along and ruined a few weeks of my holiday. My best friend was out of town for 5 weeks and by the time she got back I was gone for 2- for the first time in a very long time: I was unable to meet up with her, and as she had no access to Internet whatsoever I had no way of interacting with her over the break.
End of August- school started again, I had worked my butt off the last week before the beginning of term to do a second test in math and physics for my school grades- fortunately I got rather high marks and was able to pick up from where I had left things.
Some subjects went well, some were decent.
And then..
Well- all hell broke loose. I let myself get carried away too many times, behaving like a spoiled brat and blind to all surroundings, I lost a good friend, and also- momentarily- my only best friend.
I dwelled in my past and felt alone and cast-aside while I was actually surrounded by people who cared and loved me.
I wanted my knight in shining armour to whisk me off my feet- but at what costs?

Looking back- I believe I've learned a lot from this year, but unfortunately I had to learn all that first-hand.. I hope 2009 brings me more joy than sorrow, and that I will be able to use the knowledge I gained from past mistakes.
I hope that I won't be as irrational and naive as I was last year.
Happy New Year. About time the new one came along..
