obviously, i don't celebrate lent. i just know that people give up something for 40 days and then...lent is over. if someone could explain the point of that, it'd be nice

Jesus was in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights, fasting and depriving himself and generally contemplating how he was going to allow himself to be crucified for the sins of all humanity....or so the christians believe. As such, giving up something for 40 days is a way to relate to Jesus during that time in a little way, focus on helping others, being less priveledged, etc. Does that make sense?
And omg! Such a good idea! I'm absolutely doing that:I will not skip ONE SINGLE CLASS during lent! (unless im severely ill)
...that's not really a sacrifice and it kind of defeats the purpose because it's something i should be doing anyway and doesn't make me think about jesus. but whatever haha.
but like, last night, i couldn't fall asleep and my roommate and i were just talking all night cause neither of us could. and then i woke up this morning 15 min before my class, and i rushed, but in the end i couldnt decide what to wear (...ive been dressing slobby for like five days, i could't do it again haha) and ended up not going because i was too embarrased to walk in 20 min late. ...except, this happens reguarly and then i have to watch it online and it gets stupid.
