Lately I have been listening to the band Keane and their album "Hopes & Fears". I love the voice of their lead singer, Tom Chaplain. If you get a chance, it is definitely worth it to check out their music. :] This is the main website. Enjoy!
The more I think about it, the more anxious I am getting for school to start in February. It feels like an eternity since I've been to school, and I cannot wait to get back. However, I'm worried that I might be in over my head with 19 units of all academic classes. I guess we'll see! I probably won't get around to posting much on this blog when that time comes.
Apparently Wikipedia is doing a "blackout" in protest of Congress censoring the internet. I find the internet to be a huge help when researching for school, and from the little I know about this movement, I would fight to keep the
internet free to all. But if Congress really did go through with this, it's not like we don't have libraries to do
research and other forms of documentation or studying. I think some people these days forget we CAN survive without technology for every little aspect of our lives. Google's "Doodle" is even censored out for the protests.
On the topic of censoring things on the internet, some people should really censor what they post to social networks. I'm at a loss for understanding why some people thinks it is cool to post vulgar profanity on their facebooks or twitters. Or even promiscuous photos of them. Frankly, it's trashy. Also, when you have pictures of you drunk at parties plastered all over your profiles, it sends off a bad signal to professional people such as employers, or people who are reviewing your applications for groups, or committees. Think before you click!
So I've done my preaching for tonight. Next time I might have more interesting things to post...that's if I can remember them! Good night, and have a terrific Wednesday!
