I was talking (more like complaining) to a friend on Friday about these blogs we have to write every week. I was telling her that (1.) I usually don't get around to writing them until either Saturday or Sunday because of how busy my week usually is, and (2.) I always struggle to find something interesting to write about.
It was during this conversation that I realized how "out of touch" I am with current events.
In my high school years, I would wake up every morning and peer through the newspaper over breakfast. Such is not the case here at college, where time is often scarce. I can barely make enough time to eat breakfast in the morning before rushing out to go to class. I don't remember the last time I was able to pick up a paper other than the Exponent. (which is definately not the best paper to be informed of the "goings on" around the world from)
College has consumed my whole life since I got here. All the little things, like watching the news before bed, reading the paper, sifting through magazines, etc. are almost nonexistant anymore. I simply do not have time for them anymore. It seems like all I ever do is eat, sleep, go to class, and do homework.
Yea, I guess I could make a better effort to be informed on current events, but after a normal day here at Purdue, all I want to do is go to sleep! There isn't much time to relax, other than on the weekends. (But, I have found out that Sunday turns out to just like every other day, probably because I usually leave a lot of my work until that night) I guess my point is that I was surprised at how easy it was for me to drift away from today's current events and not even know it was happening.
