Studying for Finals

... is overrated.

Oh, I know. It's my own fault for not starting to study until 48 hours before, and now I'm semi-freaking out and semi-over it. It's not like I'm not studying. I'm just blogging.

And this blogging thing is very important, because I am tapping into my "communication" side of my life. I'm being an active member of the virtual world.

So Carrie (carry?) Heeter says in 1992, that our presence in the virtual world is our way of self-validating our own presence in the natural world. Mind you, he said this in 1992, before the Sims, Second Life, and all that scary WOW stuff was not a regular household word thrown around. But isn't it depressing? I mean think about it. People are online in virtual communities because it validates their existence in this world. Incredible.

I mean, it's not like I don't see where they're coming from. It's just a little disturbing.

Maybe it's disturbing because I can understand it. Maybe it's disturbing because I know that a part of me gets it.

In any case.

Finals. Let me sum up the content of my finals for you in a few sentences.

Newspapers and Broadcast TV are dying in its competition with the internet, unless they learn to integrate and share advertising, and to get profit out of their advertising.
The virtual world is a fast growing market that still needs a lot of studying and experimentation, but is also very theoretical and interesting.
I'm very sleepy.

I guess the last sentence was irrelevant.

Things to do this summer:
- Meditate.
- Read.
- Yoga.
- Finish Project 3.
- Finish my website.
- Take my Auntie out for a girl's night out.
- Go out to drink with my Uncle.
- Paint next to my Grandfather.
- Learn independence
- Get my ass whooped at one of the top 10 law firms in the US of A.
- Establish my ideas regarding the soul, soul mates, and spirituality. Or at least come close to establishing it.

That looks like a good list to start with.

Okay, I must now return to the futile activity that I call "studying for finals"

I don't think I want dinner today...
