It's a new marking period, and there are now less than six weeks left in the trimester, so that means

Over the course of this week, we began the week off with hearing a spoken word poem on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
I only know a little bit about OCD, and by that I am not referring to the many people who get upset by things like a table not being straight or something like that. More so like certain patterns or behaviors that MUST be repeated at the exact same time only on specific days, such as flipping a switch on and off for exactly three minutes, or toasting three slices of bread in a toaster instead of just two. I find there to be many interesting things about OCD because I've found that many of my friends do in fact exhibit some very real traits of the disorder. I'm not diagnosing any of them with it, but I suppose it's just an observation that I made. Anyways, here is a small definition for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, for people who may be confused by it. Basically the shortest definition, is "excessive behaviors, leading to excessive behaviors" It's week ten of twelve, and I have learned quite a lot of new information this week. I think it's really crazy how literally there is only like a little more than a week left for this trimester. It feels like this school year just started only a week ago. It's amazing that I'll only have six months left of school. I'm pretty sad about it though, because I'm honestly not sure what I'll be doing when school is out. I'll literally be lazing around for awhile and I'll just be wondering constantly about what I want to do with myself and my future.
I think that I might want to pursue a life with my significant other. I'm very unsure about it right now though because I don't want to rush things with her, but she has said several times now that she really would want to live with me in our own apartment. It's not like I'm feeling pressure to be a certain kind of person, or that she's expecting too much of me, but as of right now I just want her to be sure that I really am the right one for her, and that we would be able to live together at some point in the future. This week, a group of three with myself and two friends, picked out a book titled "Brave New World". It's purpose ultimately is for the idea of "Utopia vs. Dystopia".
So far, Brave New World seems to be a mix of the two, as there are definitely some positive elements of a utopian world, yet there are many other elements that correlate with that of a dystopian society. What I mean by this, is that while the land itself, with the buildings, the sheer atmosphere, and the world itself, it all seems to be very calm and very nice. However, the people are very much well-groomed to an extremely specific type of lifestyle, with people being divided into various different levels of social status. |
