5:46 PM

THE SUN IS STILL SHINING AT 5.45PM WHOOHOO!!

And there was sun today, and there was warmth, and little snowdrops and -I think they are- purple crocuses. As the saying goes, if snowdrops come, can spring be far behind?


NO IT CANNOT. SPRING IS HERE BABYYY :D


Okay I'm just extremely jubilant cos the sun is still up.

Today in our crim lecture about drugs I realised that growing up and especially getting out of spore entails alot of things. Such as learning to accept that certain... conducts? which when you were young you took for granted as being extremely immoral or unthinkable, may not actually be as bad as you think. I guess the lecturer made some sense in that drugs aren't exactly more harmful than loads of stuff that are not criminal, like alcohol or smoking. Cannabis is much less addictive and harmful than those two. So does this stigma thing only depend on the current societal atmosphere? I dunno, it seems to kinda undermine all these christian values that I know. What's so different about getting a high doing drugs and doing sports? It can't be the addiction, I'm sure sportspeople are in some way addicted to sports as well.

Okay I can't be bothered to dwell on this anymore haha I'm sure there's something very flawed about my comparison but I don't careee. All I'm saying is, all this drug-taking, smoking, binge drinking, having sex stuff once seemed so extremely decadent. And once upon a time I could simply dissociate myself from all that, spout all sorts of condemnation of it, because I lived in a tiny protected bubble called rj. But now that I'm out in the real world, it's so much closer to home. You make friends with people who do such stuff. You see and hear about people doing such stuff. And then you're forced to re-examine your reasons for hating it, and you realise you can't give a good reason why. Or maybe you can't, because they're your friends and by that it somehow seems to be more acceptable?

Right the sun is setting let me continue studying.
