Musings on life....
So my last exam is in less then 3 hours and I haven't even really started studying. It's just that its one of those exams that you can't really study for in my opinion. There isn't any memorization it's all integration of things discussed in class. And I had no problem paying attention in class so. I've read over the lecture notes but that's about it and I'm not too worried. That's all I did for the midterm and I was well above average on the midterm. Well we'll see...once I finish this post I'll force myself to "study".
In the process of not studying I've prepped my notebooks for next semester and prepped the notes from this semester that I can hopefully sell. While doing that I was thinking. I was thinking about the women's revolution (random I know), but here me out on this one...there was a time that we didn't have a choice in anything, we didn't have a say in what our lives were or where they would go or what we would do with them. Women didn't have a choice with whom they were friends (even if only superficially) and they didn't have a choice of who they wed. Women in that time were "content" as they knew nothing better...they didn't always strive for more. They saw what they had and they survived with that. They didn't always wonder "is there more out there for me?" Well they may have wondered, but they couldn't really do anything about it so it was probably a passing thought. Today women are so free to do what they wish, have the jobs they desire, the lives they dream of....but are we always dreaming of more so we don't appreciate what we have here? Why must we always wonder if there is more out there, that we are missing out on something even though we don’t know what it is we’re missing? When is that just a passing thought and when does it become something we should act upon? When do we tell ourselves that what we have is everything we need….and when do we take the hint and move on?
