Jun. 3, 2008 - A change of plans

When I woke up yesterday morning, I realized I don’t really care about the environment as people today think I should, and I’m okay with that. I have for sometime now, been trying to write a paper about the subject in order to educate myself on the issues and facts surrounding the environment.  However, in my studies I have come to the conclusion that yes, the earth is a beautiful thing and we should take care of it for that reason, but those who say the earth is going to fall to pieces have been fooled by bad science, political propaganda and a society that has fallen under the spell of advertising to the point that they no longer think for themselves.

So, I am setting aside that paper for the simple reason that I have better things to do with my time than listen to a bunch of red herrings, ad hominems and arguments stemming from emotion rather than fact. Instead, I am using one of the advantages of being self taught, the ability to change the subject of my paper without anyone caring, and writing about the fine arts, something that is more important to me than the hole in the ozone layer or fish that aren’t laying as many eggs this year.

I must confess my new paper may not be posted this week, though it very well could be as I am so enthusiastic about it that I was able to sit down and write out my outline in five minutes.

This Saturday is the official last day of the 2007 – 2008 season of dance, though I start the 2008-2009 season next Monday. We are, of course, going through the make sure you have everything-absolutely don’t be late for dress rehearsal- don’t push yourself hard this week-phase of dance which can get hectic but the end result is always rewarding.  Blessings ~ Elise
