I didn't mean to ramble, I swear.
Wow. The last term has been absolutely insane. So many things have happened, I don't even know where to start. I suppose I'll start with the most important things, my COCC classes. This term I took Writing 123 and Speech 111. Speech was a weekend intensive. We had two weekends of two eight-hour classes. Much drama ensued. I never know that 30-50 year-olds were so dramatic, or that so many 18-25 year-olds smoke. I did worse in that class than I would have liked, but I still pulled an A. And while I've been struggling to write this blog, I realized that blogs about what's been happening are numbingly boring to write, and probably even more so to read. So I will stop trying to sum up. You can ask me if you want to know what's been going on, but a good blog entry should have a point. Even if it's an insignificant point or doesn't really make any sense, it needs some sort of glue holding it all together. That's what makes anything creative good. Whether it be a book, a painting, a poem, or a piece of coreography it needs cohesion to be worth looking at. I saw an interesting quote today, and I wish I could remember where I saw it. It said, "You can have a favorite part of a poem, but without the rest of the context it has no meaning." I think it was talking about in relation to life. A part of life can be your favorite, but the whole is what has meaning. I suppose life needs to have cohesion to be worth anything as well. I can't believe I've never thought about this before, because it's fascinating. Dozens of people have talked about purposeless life before, but I never thought about it as cohesion. So here is my fascinating blog entry.
