Sitting in class
Pretending to be busy
Wow is this boring.

How do I write this?
Every word must be perfect
Incompetence sucks.
I've taken to writing haikus and other forms of poetry when I'm bored in class, as opposed to stalking away on facebook. It's actually quite therapeutic and makes class go surprisingly even quicker than the aforementioned time-passing tool.
So the last two weeks have been a back and forth, up and down decision process as to whether or not I will choose to go abroad again next semester, to Chile. After weighing all of the pros and cons, I've decided that I'm gonna stay in Miami for the academic year, and then try to attend this 6-8 week program, which I think would be more beneficial for my career and social life here in Miami.
I also watched the movie Zeitgeist, which succeeded in turning me into a conspiracy theorist and general paranoid schizo. Obviously writers should not be swayed so easily, until checking up on sources and being an informed critic, but sometimes that's not easy.
The film is split up into 3 parts, the first of which hypothesizes that Christianity is nothing more than a sun worship religion derived from Ancient Egyptian religion that was around 2000 years before Jesus Christ was supposedly born. According to the film, there are hundreds of different sun-based gods and deities that fit the same mold, including birth on December 25, known as "Lamb of God", "Alpha and Omega", born of a virgin, and that performed miracles. Horus, an ancient Egyptian god, according to the film's sources, was, like Jesus, crucified, dead for three days, and then resurrected. The film later explains that this is the migratory pattern of the sun, due to the winter solstice. On December 21, the darkest day of the year, the Sun sets to its lowest point, or "dies", and stays there for three days. Then, the sun rises, or is "resurrected". The film argues that the "Son of God" is really the "Sun of God" and did rise- every day since the beginning of life on Earth.
Interesting? Huh? Watch the rest.
