the lacklustre entry (and i suspect i've used this title before)

Dear Amigos

Many a time, I have been impelled to pen an entry to document the recent events in my life .Yet, as you can see, this hasn't translated into anything so far. My reluctance usually creeps up the moment before writing. This is because I wouldn't want to waste your time by compelling you to read a series of entries that revolve around the same theme: utter boredom. and nothingness. Instead, I shall use this as an opportunity to encapsulate the ennui which has plagued my past few weeks. In a sentence (that's all i really need), they have been interspersed with lazing around aimlessly and studying.

The only difference is that lately, I have decided to accompany my studying with a few cans of ultra-chilled beer to the extent that the booze is partially frozen. For some inexplicable reason, I feel like I'm able to read at a much faster pace and retain such knowledge with less effort. More importantly, I don't get the feeling that studying is a chore. To complete the experience, I blast my speakers with hard pumping rap and rock in an attempt to recreate a clubbing environment. Hopefully, this would do me more good than bad when I take my exams next week. I don't want to end up remembering all the lyrics of Akon and Nickelback in place of company/land/criminal law and the likes.

Anyway, to all you amigos who are intensely preparing for any upcoming exams, hang in there and don't ever lose heart for I can hear the christmas bells ringing already. I cannot wait to get high and enter into a world of crazy glittery colours and all things only imaginable with the aid of alcohol.

Meaning

Some people try to find meaning in the things that happen in their lives. Very often they find this through choosing to believe in religion.

For example, if one failed an exam, one might choose to believe that one failed because a higher power intended the failure as a necessary lesson which would lead to future success.

However, if one chooses to believe that the events in life are predetermined by a higher power, the meaning and significance of one's actions are automatically undermined. This includes the action to choose to believe in the religion in the first place, leading to a bit of a reductio ad absurdum.

Anyway, thats all from me for the night.. It's pretty late and I should get some sleep. I have a weekend of glorious studying ahead.
