Thursday
I've come to the conclusion that death is very abrupt and very strange. How can a soul be there one minute and be gone the next? I've always felt that there's a division between the mind and the body; obviously the two are very much related (mental health and physical health, that is), but I've always had this pressing feeling that a soul can't be extinguished like a body's heartbeat is. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but it certainly gives a lot more hope for death than the alternative would. And I suppose that's why they have religion, isn't it?
I've caught a bad case of nostalgia in the past few days. I've been drinking more fluids to try to wash it out.
So while on the topic of health, evidently I'm underweight or close to it. My BMI is 19.3 (18.5 - 24.9 is considered healthy), however BMI isn't adjusted for people who are athletic and have muscle mass and will therefore overestimate body fat. That, and they have me on medication for some irregularities, so I nearly collapsed today at soccer.
Upcoming dates of interest:
-History essay due tomorrow
-Band competition at John I. Leonard on Saturday
-TOK essay due Monday (I finally picked a PET TODAY)
-Extended Essay deadline next Friday
-FBA Assessment on the 25th (band all day again)
-World Lit due 28th
-ACE Tryouts Before too long?
-UF Application due November 1st
-Election on November 4th!!! (I can't vote, but I'm canvassing and trying to help get out the vote.
Mix in some other random schoolwork, the fact that I never ever ever go home right after classes are over because of extracurriculars (i.e. Soccer band mathclub SFBO SNHS NHS Global? and I'm probably missing a few) and I really can't wait to get this year done with.
