Well hello there world. I see you have discovered my blog. I'm writing this blog because a) I want to improve my writing, and practice makes perfect, b) to have a way to express myself, and c) to share what I learn as I go through school. Yes, I know it sounds corny, but I'm doing it anyway. Also, every Sunday, I'll be reflecting on the "Quote of the Day" that is written on the side of my blog. By doing this, I intend to try and find deeper meaning in the things we all do without even thinking, and to see how each quote applies to society. Again, very cheesy, but I honestly don't mind what you think of me.
We just finished finals! And the exit exam. The writing prompt was awful! These past few weeks have been pretty tough all around. I'm not exactly sure why, but I know it has something to do with a few burdens I've been carrying for a while, most of which I'll end up sharing here. But not all ;) Honestly, my sleep schedule has been destroyed by studying and a general inability to sleep caused by stress. My musical requirements also just shot through the roof when I got into pit orchestra. I'm feel like I'm in a haze lately, not really with it, but not obviously avoiding anything either. I guess I'm just tired.

Okay, so this week's quote is:
Secret operations are essential in war; upon them the army relies to make its every move. Sun Tzu (544 BC-496 BC)
To me, this quote is saying that as an individual, one must keep certain secrets in order to succeed. If we all wear our hearts on our sleeves, if we trust everyone we meet, we'd be setting ourselves up to be utterly destroyed. By keeping secrets, we protect ourselves from certain attacks, and can make certain moves without being found out. Ideally, none of us should have anything to hide, but let's get real. Every single one of us has information we don't want to share, past mistakes we don't want brought back into the open.
