The cause for this rude abandonment is school. Blame it on college. My classes are long; the work is superabundant; and the professors are amazing. I want to impress them so badly that my blogging has taken a hit. They are really kind so far and I can see myself really enjoying these classes. But sacrifices were made. =(
This aside, I turned 19 the other day. I had a really good birthday this year. It makes me super grateful for my friends and family.
Much more grief-inducing, Sylvester, my friend and cactus, died. The cause of death is unknown although he was really soggy feeling so I think he was over hydrated because of the HUMID Georgia weather. It was really sad. I buried him in the kitchen trash can under a banana peel. And wrote R.I.P. on the pot that had his name on it. My other friends and cacti are inside now. This is a huge, much uglier version of Sylvester. He was the size of a golf ball.
Let's see... Interesting things...
I bought some new body wash today. It smells like oatmeal. I'm really excited to use it.
OH!!! I just had an idea. I think on every entry, I'm going to choose a completely random, yet relevant news story and give you my take on it. Today's news story. The FDA is trying to regulate tobacco companies more. They're trying to add more graphics about the danger of smoking to the packages, more strictly regulate the advertisement of cigarettes, and even the ingredients of cigarettes, such as nicotine and various other cancerous chemicals. Even as a smoker, I am all for this. The companies may make the prices higher to account for these changes, but for the benefit of the young people. I was of legal age when I began smoking, but many children today are as young as 10 and smoking like chimneys. But, do I believe that less advertisements are going to reduce this? I don't actually know. As a kid in school, I was barraged with information about the harms of smoking. It didn't really stop me, so who knows. We'll see, I guess. What do you think?
