Franz Kafka is a interesting writer. His stories are very complicating if you don't take your time to read them. For instance The Hunger Artist was interesting because behind the story there was an underlying meaning about life that i think he was trying to get across, which was that in life things seem so interesting at first and everyone wants to be apart of it but after you experience it you get tired of it and its no longer important to you any more, I think thats interesting because its so true, like i can want to do something so bad and then after i've done it then i'll just forget about it. Before The Law was so confusing to me until i broke it down and thought about the meaning of life and how whenever you want to reach higher goals in life, you have to overcome some obstacles in order to complete those tasks.

Yesterday all the seniors went snow tubing for one of the senior class activities. It was really fun. At first i wasn't sure about going because i thought it was going to be really cold and not much fun but as soon as we arrived and everyone was dressed for the weather it was really fun. No one worried about being cold because we were to busy having fun. I'm so happy that there was a rope that pulled you up the hill instead of you having to walk all the way up. What i think is so great about our class is that everyone gets along so there was no drama what so ever. I LOVE MY SENIORS lol they are so awesome! Overall i had a good time yesterday and i can't wait until our next class event!

i use technology in my everyday life.
i have a computer at home and i also have a digital camera and a cell phone.
i text 24 hours a day.. i don't think i could live without my cell phone or my camera because without them i think i'll loose out on alot of things like life..
but i couldn't live without the internet either because i have to get on myspace at least twice a week in order to survive lol. I use my camera for all our senior activities so i could have good memories.
