2/21/12 – Tuesday (Blog #52)

The fancy dinner thing for my essay was tonight. It was really good, actually. We went to some Italian restaurant. Sadly, I got third place, but it was disappointing, because I lost due to technical errors and nothing about my actual writing. I missed points because I forgot to put page numbers and just stupid things like that. However, I’m not really sore about it, because the 1^st and 2^nd place winners were my friends, and I was happy for them.

School was very interesting, it seems. I didn’t fall asleep at all during the day, and I came home and just relaxed for a while, and then went to the dinner thing. We ate a pretty decent salad, and then a delicious chicken steak or just plain beef steak, and then they gave us pasta. To top it off, there was some ice cream afterwards. It was me, my mother, my brother, and his girlfriend. My dad had work, and couldn’t make it. Luckily, we all got the dinner for free, so that was good enough for me.

In regards to people asking about the penny auction, it’s just a regular auction, except that each bid increases the price of the item by only a penny, but the bids usually cost money. For the one I’m going using, each bid costs 60 USD cents. At first, it seemed really shady, but I found out that the company is making a lot of money while selling items for dirt cheap, and it’s verified, so it’s very reliable.

I finished reading part one of The Strangers, and I’ve got to say, he’s very much the fictional representation of myself. Just like the main character, his name is Mersault, I’m a person that reacts instead of thinking things through. I just react to things, without caring much about the consequences. Also, yeah, nihilists are the ones that thought life was meaningless, but it’s also included in the existentialist view.

I still have to write another essay today, so that’s the only thing I have to do after writing this blog. I’m pretty tired, but I haven’t played any games today, so I’m definitely going to play some. I need to relax and just do random things online in order to relieve some stress and boredom.

That’s all there is for today, so thanks for reading everyone. The continued comments and support is really awesome, and really helps me write this blog every day. I’ll post my usual update tomorrow, so stay tuned!
