I just saw The Fountain today and ever since I cannot stop thinking about life in general.

Why do I go to school? There are so many other things I can be doing to better the lives of others. Nothing is acheived when I am sitting in Advanced Functions and Modeling. Why is the American life so cookie cutter and planned out? Why are so many lives like that? Why am I not living a real life out on a farm in Central America? Why am I not living in Uganda? That's what life is. Life is not me on this computer trying to organize my thoughts well enough to type out this paragraph.

I have ten pages due tomorrow. I have zero pages so far. I have two projects due tomorrow. I am not doing them right now. Hell, I may not even do them at all tonight. This is why I'm a bad student. However discouraged my lifestyle may be, I have fun. I have fun and enjoy myself in so many things that I do. I only have this one life, so why do I choose to spend it sitting in English class and discussing chivalry in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? I want to get up and run around and not take any orders because that's not a positive experience for me. You may say that no one really enjoys doing what others tell them to do. I agree. So why do it? I know that I'm not going to make any major changes with my life by doing all these things I'm expressing a desire to do. However, I am not really planning on living my life in quite the same way as before. I would like to do what I find interesting. As for the negative consequences...everything just requires time. Nothing is forever anyways.
