She Should Have Died Hereafter

	She should have died hereafter;There would have been a time for such a word.
	To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
	Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
	To the last syllable of recorded time,
	And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
	The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
	Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
	That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
	And then is heard no more: it is a tale
	Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
	Signifying nothing.

Sometimes I Write My Thoughts. "3am"

3am is a weird time. It’s that odd time where feelings and life itself seem most vulnerable. At 2am, you’re still pretty awake from yesterday and are more hyper than sensitive. At 4am, you could be waking up and preparing for tomorrow, with yesterday long behind you. But at 3am, you are neither closer to yesterday or tomorrow. You are simply in between, in limbo. You’re getting sleepy, but at the same time you don’t really want to sleep for of a number of reasons, but you know it’s inevitable. So then your eyes may get heavy and your mind may start to wander into its philosophical depths, but you’re still not really asleep. Your mind lets you think about things that 2am and 4am don’t usually let you think about. 3am can either be the best or the worst time, depending on the circumstances.

Spring Cleaning of my Blog/Masterpiece Progress

Well, it's currently a little after 2 o'clock in the morning and I've just finished updating my blog because once again, I procrastinated and put off my "updates" until literally the last minute. Seriously, I am the WORST procrastinator out there and I hate it. But am I going to procrastinate again? Most definitely. I'm not proud of it, but hey, I'm not gonna lie about it either. I managed to get my blog mostly up to date, minus a missing assignment here and there, so I hope my lack of sleep (and most likely sanity when I wake up in the morning) was worth a few people liking my blog.

Now, onto more pressing matters: my masterpiece.

Brave New World Essay (Blog Version)

In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Bernard lives his life, or more exists in a Utopian society of which he does not fully agree with. He, unlike the other characters develops throughout the story by breaking free of the societal norms and expressing a sense of individualism characterized by Huxley. Therein lies the theme of the story, that one cannot be an individual without their own humanity.
