I’m a Blogger Who Doesn’t Really Blog

You know, I’ve had a blog for about…four years now, I’d say, and I wrote on it frequenty the first year, not as much the second, not much at all the third, and I post occassionally now, but I really never actually “blogged,” like I’m doing now, I guess. xD I mean, actually, I guess I kind of have a few times, like the “My Thoughts” kind of deals…maybe I should just keep up with that. I just had the sudden urge to blog, just to write about my day or how I feel or something. I’ve only really done that when I was really depressed in the past or when something was bothering me. I don’t know, though…There is something a little, un-nerving about writing about my “secret” thoughts and feelings, or listing my whereabouts and daily schedule, or even just…I don’t know…Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. Most likely not, actually. But this was fun. xD Maybe I’ll just put up little cute posts like this every now and then. lol

Well, anyways, just wanted to write something…I’ve been working extremely hard lately, stayed up so late last night I only got like 3 hours of sleep and I’ve been kind of energized all day…Hey, I think today was a good day… Well, anyways, I’ve been stressed, and this was kind of a release.

Going to Texas State!

Well, I applied to Texas State University on November 23, 2009, trying to meet the scholarship deadline of December 15, but came across a whole lot of problems. :\ I don’t really want to go through it all, but Texas State was asking for things that my school was refusing to give me…Anyways, after many e-mails, phone calls, and application checking…the golden envelope finally arrived right before the new year.

I’ve been accepted to Texas State University in San Marcos! I will hopefully be attending this upcoming fall and will be majoring in Studio Art with All-Level Teacher Certification. Now, I just need to scrounge up all the money I can, a very difficult task…

Levels of Madness

I really don’t want to talk right now…I’m just going to go, but here was my prompt: Explain the signifigance of the names of the company’s stations: Outer, Central, and Inner from Joseph Conrad’s novel, Heart of Darkness. Relate these names to the development of the story.

Like the heart that beats in a human’s body, or the very Earth we walk on, the African wilderness has great layers, depths, and volumes. Clearly demonstrating this in his novel Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad uses the names of the company’s stations throughout the congo to describe the levels of the wilderness and relate to the development of the story. Outer, Central, and Inner describe the surrounding areas of the heart of darkness, along with the heart itself. As the main character, Marlow, ventures from station to station, the story progresses along with his surroundings.
